Line 6 HX Stomp Expression Pedal Setup

This video covers the basic steps for adding an expression pedal to the Line 6 HX Stomp digital guitar processor.

This video is intended for those that may have some familiarity with the HX Stomp but may not have used an expression pedal with it before, or need a refresher on the configuration steps.

The video references information listed in the Line 6 HX Stomp Owners Manual Revision A. This video was made in January 2020 with HX Stomp FW version 2.71.0. and settings verified the same up to 2.82.0. Other firmware versions may have differences. Check the Line 6 firmware release notes for more information.

👏 Really a great, useful video. Thank you. For a minute I was afraid that you couldn't use 2 separate types of controls (controller and expression). This was a quick easy bit of reassurance. Thanks again,

[AlexSchwartzBerlin]

nico video, thanks.

an additional trick for Wah usage: add the Wah bypass to Footswitch 5, too.
Then pressing the footswitch turns on the Wah and the expression pedal 1 controls the wah position.
Pressing it again switches Wah off and the expression pedal back to "pedal 2".

Thank you for clearing that up, I have the SP1-L6 so it should work as your video describes

James, I just got this exact expression pedal with the Stomp XL and trs y cable bundle from sweetwater, I’ve set up the pedal just as video, but every time I sweep to the heel position, at the halfway point, the sweep triggers a toggle action between exp 1 and 2 or it bypasses…it’s basically spazzing out, and of course the toe switch works, but it shouldn’t be doing this should it?

hi, will a standard sp-1 work with the helix? i mean the toe switch on the standard sp-1

[DannyCruzCreations]

So the main different between using TRS to TRS from jack 1 is that you get Exp 1 + FS5, and if you use A Y-cable from both jacks, the switch toggles between EXP 1 and EXP 2? Because I'll tell you that I cannot, for the lift of me, get that to work on an HX Stomp XL.

Can the SP1-L6 be used for wah so that the toe switch turns the wah effect on/off?

[roncarter]

I have a M-Audio EXP that I want to use on the HX stomp for my Wah Wah use, do I need to change the polarity to be able to use it, I can't seem to get it to work for me, thanks.

hi，your cable is 6.5mm trs to 6.35mm ts ？if i use dunlop dvp4 also work？i want to connect the dvp4 and foot switch to HX STOMP exp1/2 out put.

[TheSanctionextremis]

The internet tells me a SP1-LH6 will work with my hx stomp. yet, the toe switch does nothing when it's hooked up with a Y cable. I have range for volume OR wah, but I can't switch between. I get so frustrated with this stuff.

[pasqualeguglielmi]

Is it possible to assign the toe switch to a snapshot with the hx stomp? If so, would the trs cable be ok if using the revision B of the pedal? Thanks.

Hello,
I just got the ep1L6 its only working properly with a TS on both sides (stomp & pedal),

If I use a TRS to TS, Y cable for a switch its working partially. Meaning I can control wah, but no delay, reverb or volume.
Same if I use a TRS on both sides.
Any ideas?

Thanks

Does the Mission Engineering EP1-L6-BK (w/no toe switch) work the same? And do I still need a TRS or just a regular mono patch cable for the EP1-L6-BK? I know I will need the TRS if I decide to add a seperate switch box in the future. Thank you in advance. :)

Will my mission kemper expression pedal work with the HX?

[ugogemesio]

So, to use exp pedal as volume pedal i will burn one block of effect?

[christianpacode]

please someone help me, I followed all the steps in this video but when I step on my volume pedal, on the screen I see the volume going from 0% to 100% and when I step on the pedal all the way it goes back to 0%. how do I fix it please ? my volume pedal is the Ernie ball vp jr

[KLRCAT]

Will this work as a Volume pedal/Tap Tuner? cause Thomann says; "Integrated toe switch to turn effects on and off without the need for a separate footswitch (Helix Rack only)".
So are you sure the toe switch works with the HX Stomp. (I'm talking about the "Mission Engineering SP1-L6H-BK
")

[fguihen]

Is there any benefit to using a y cable Vs single cable or vice versa?

[GtrMan]

Can i use the Mission pedal model SP1-L6 oe does it have to be SP1-L6H? there is a switch on the SP1-L6

[Kylewrhodes]

Can I use the TT-2 and an expression pedal with the stomp? If so how? Would love a video about that. Thanks!
