I love watching Paul play. If I didn’t already own an HX Effects I’d head out and buy one after this.

After years of being a pedal purist I rather like the HX. Just so many effects and a lot of fun.

[gglendinningok]

FANTASTIC, especially the 1st composition, great stuff all round, may get this unit

[allyouneedweddingsallyoune]

Cool how the 4-Cable method on the Line 6 HX dirt effects can run the dirt pedals to the front of the amp while the mod effects like reverb, delay, chorus & etc; be ran in the effects loop at the same time

I can't afford any more gear, so I'm just here to hear Paul play :)

[Waldek.k]

I am the lucky owner of this effect. You should get the Nobel prize

[RichieSanchez_]

He always sound so good. Excellent demo.

[antimiko]

*immediately adds Univibe to current Helix preset*👌😎🎸

[DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

The HX replaced my huge ES-8 analog board. It’s a great tool to use in the studio.

[Jay-vsfi]

Man the univibe sounds great, need to try out making a hendrix patch on my LT to sound like that!

[metelway]

It s amazing. This is already the prove Line 6 is better and better and the tones are amazingly Highest top of the range .

I think that all the proud owners of the line 6 Variax guitar are wondering why we have been rewarded by once again the lack of the proprietary vdi input. Thank you, I think once again all Variax guitar owners feel good about excluded from the ability to access the functionality of the Variax like with the higher priced line 6 gear . Thank you very much

Hello everyone, my HX Effects does not work with my Engl Sreammer 50. The TRS jack puts some extra voltage on the amplifier, the lead led always has a dim light even when the channel is off. The polarity of one button is right and the other is inverted. Changing from EXP to Amp in the preferences also does not solve the problem, however, using EXP we can change the polarity (strange).There is also an increase in the gain of the amplifier. Using a Boss FS-6 pedal works fine. Also with Behringer FCB1010. I reported the problem to Line6 who replied: "Hi, HX Effects ability to control external amp channel and/or reverb switching has been tested with many popular amps and heads. Unfortunately this does not guarantee compatibility with all products. Note that, depending on the circuitry of the channel switching jack in the guitar amp used, the EXT Amp function may not operate as expected. Best regards, Technical Support Line 6 Support Europe" This is a copy/paste from the manual. Therefore, you buy the equipment and if you are lucky it works with your amplifier.

Can I plug in other stompboxes (like my drive pedals) and use the I/O’s on the back as a bypass looper to turn those other effects on and off with a single button press rather than having to tap dance?

[guitarnerd]

Cool review as always .. Can you switch between presets/snapshots using a midi controller ?

[Luishsilvaguitar]

I only miss a amp to work with helix family (just like the DT series with POD). For me it would be amazing

[ryanlee]

Put out some high gain pickups in workbench for my Shuriken Guitar! Please!!!

[GuitarLen]

on the website it says I/R Support. I'm not familiar with Impulse responses but from what I understand that these are cabinet sims? if so can I run this staright to my DAW or PA and have a good cabinet sound? If so then I think I will buy this because my band is starting to record and when we play live I wanted to go straight to the board. I was thinking of getting the suhr ace or the Fridman Mic n mo but at the same time I needed a small pedal board but these seems to have it all.

dealing with technical issues with my hx effects and hx stomp has made me loose confidence in Line 6 products in general. i'm about 8 hours deep this week in trouble shooting, watching videos, reading forums and trying every cable in the house to make this thing update. next I'm going to the store to buy $30 worth of cables to see if anything helps, I might have to bring a laptop to test cables in the store. I mean really, the supplied cable isn't up to the task or maybe its some other mystery problem that will go away if the wind changes or a random computer glitch makes it do the basics. withup dating might not even fix the original issue that I am updating for. really.
