Line 6 HX Stomp Basics Tutorial: Most Important Controls and Finding Your Way Around

In this tutorial I show you how to find your way around and navigate the HX Stomp.

Thanks for this. Helix stomp is by far the most difficult/unintuitive to use piece of equipment I've ever experienced.

[ModernDrumStudio]

Thanks!! We were getting stuck on how to assign multiple effects to the footswitches, and you broke it down and made it simple.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and tweakery! I am a guitarist and bassist and have realized that more often than not I need a direct to P.A. option. Just ordered an HX stomp and am excited to dive in and will be watching your videos regularly.

Hey champ. I'm a newbie to this hx stomp XL and I've been searching for a while on an easy way to navigate the stomp. This was that video. Great job.

[gregparker]

At last! Thank you. I hate pulling a new bit of tech out of the box with all its own navigation systems and no idea how to get up and running without joining forums and seeking out incomplete tutorials by laymen that assume you are more intuitive than Einstein.

This is the first *#@*&G HX Stomp video I could find to help me with the very content you covered so thank you!

[BulletproofFaces]

Awesome beginner's tutorial. Thank you! Love the behind the scenes peek at 14:28 too. 🤗 Keep up these great videos!

[BarronimoMusic]

I just got one, and literally, your video answered every question and head-scratch I was having!

[BikeRanger]

Zoom pretty much soured me digital multi-effects. I would never have even considered an HX Stomp without your vids, Tyler. But now I have one and use it constantly. Super versatile, both on stage and off.

There's a learning curve for sure, but this vid gave me a solid start. Thank you for actually talking through the thing and not just making another video brochure.

[Leonmpj]

Didn’t know you could assign two effects to the same footswitch. Thanks man!

[johnmcminn]

This video has a good disposition, it moves along at a reasonable pace.
There do not seem to be any videos that explain the terminology, BUT that is in the PDF Manual from the line 6 website.
As a new user just the term " Global Settings" raises a question?
New users would be interested in a break down of just the TERMS of the HX Stomp, i believe!

As a gamer I am pro at pressing SAVE.
Thanks for the help! Hopefully I have the right cables to connect my new stomp...

[davebassP]

Nice video Tyler. Line 6 really made the Helix so easy to get around and program, unlike Zoom IME. A bit of a learning curve as you say, but very fast to lean. I’m sure you know this but you can set the Volume knob to only adjust the headphone out, so you dont have to worry about it effecting the main out level. Helps keep things consistent.

Tyler YOU RULE man! This helped me figure out my HX big time

[dustinarnold]

Thanks for this video, very helpful I just got the stomp

[kimrisinger]

One more thing is that one thing I'd like to see is a demonstration of how to assign a looper to all presets as is recommended if I just want to choose a preset, record a jam track, save it then play to it. One video said to save the looper to FS1 and another to FS3 which I didn't understand what their argument for each was. Bottom line, other videos have confused me so I would appreciate your help. Thanks!

[stephencostello]

Thanks T, , and once again so informative. Cheers mate👍

[christianthompson]

Really liked the bit about where Unity Gain is on the master volume knob. Would love to hear more about setting levels across different patches to try and match the levels so as not to blast anyone or disappear while switching patches and snapshots and such.. thanks!

[paulcox]

Thanks Tyler. I'm brand new to the stomp and play in an 80s band. Do you have any settings or suggestions for bass synth sounds? Cheers

[Dram]

Thank you very much! This video was amazingly helpful :)
