Line 6 | HX One | Overview

Paul Hindmarsh takes us on a tour of the easy-to-use HX One ultra-compact stereo effect pedal including the flux controller that enables you to adjust multiple effect parameters simultaneously over a predetermined period—all with a single footswitch press, plus the inputs and outputs.

HX One is a powerful stereo effect pedal with intuitive controls that fits onto any pedalboard. Select one of 250+ effects taken from the acclaimed HX family processors and easily adjust the parameters displayed on the OLED screen using the three corresponding knobs. You can also automate parameter changes via the unique Flux controller and trigger them with the Tap/Flux footswitch. Connect an optional expression pedal or two external footswitches for additional control. HX One also provides adjustable input impedance; a choice of True Bypass or buffered DSP Bypass; MIDI In and Out/Thru connectors; 128 Presets; and a USB-C port for firmware updates and use with the HX One Librarian application. HX One may be powered using the included 9V power supply or most third-party power supplies, making it easy to add to your pedalboard.

Awesome! Finally I can mount 10 of these to my pedalboard!

[jonwaldstein]

Thank you for making this pedal for people like me, who can't be bothered with presets and menu diving (basically your other pedals lol), but want a high quality, single wild card to sit next to my favorite tried and true pedals. I'll definitely be buying one of these one day!

[sirius_li]

Love it, I'll take two. Next, do the HX One Amp Edition! That'd be Da Bomb!

[AlexPriceMusician]

Brilliant! The Line 6 team consistently impresses me with how they listen to their customers. Is it possible that we'll see the Flux function added to the older units?

[XieYie-db]

Great on a pedalboard as a joker, even in an fx loop on helix floor as it doesn't use any dsp, love it

[makingmusiconline]

A brilliant idea. Something small enough to fit on a PedalTrain nano, or to add in the effects loop of an HX Stomp (or after it) to provide effects for, say, 4 cable method with the Stomp into the front of the amp, and the One in the FX Loop. I'm sure other companies will, as usual, follow in the footsteps of Line 6!

[josephfranks]

Love it, make an amp model version of this

[danielbell]

HX 2 next? Same form factor with just amps/cabs to compete directly with the plethora of amp/cab modelers out there now. A smaller HX stomp sans effects for pedalboard players.

[GOICOBA]

If I am allowed to express some criticism: I don't think the HX One is an optimal solution. It is a strong bang for the buck if you compare it with other single FX-pedals, and if I buy six FX-pedals for 50$ each, i might already hit the street price of this thing, but then I have six FX simultaneously and not one.
I also really would have liked it to have these combined Amp/Cab-Blocks from the Helix as an effect to choose, so it would have given me the opportunity to put it into the signal-chain of a pedalboard and switch between two amp sims for example. And If I buy the additional controllers and expression-pedals to fully use this products potential, then money-wise I would be much better off with a POD GO or an HX Stomp, which are much more powerful-solutions for the money.
Keep on rocking guys, love my Helix 🤘

Surprised it doesn’t allow for 2 or 3 effects. It is what it is!

[mr.d.]

If this pedal could do 2-3 effects at the same time, I'd be very interested. One at a time, not so much. And I am looking for something very simple and have no desire to get an HX Stomp.

[chrisdercabc]

I think this can have several approaches to use, due to the number of effects it includes, gain, delay, modulations, filters, reverbs and even compressors and equalizers, all for guitars, basses, keyboards, etc. In a studio, where many times you record each effect line independently and you have this HX One where you configure and record, this also for recordings or productions, or simple layout at home or on the road. For live, it can be a total replacement for those that use a "Delay DL4" and "M5" together (I have them and I think I will proceed to sell them and get the "HX One" that has more effects in a larger size. reduced), just adding a Midi controller and you free up a lot of space on the pedalboard. And for live sessions, depending on the musical genre, where you don't need to bring a complete pedal board, not even a mini pedalboard, you would just bring this one and that's it.

[plutoniumzeppelin]

@Line6 Can you do the same thing but with the ability to stack 2-3 effects?

🙏

[geraldpasion]

i hope they do this for amp sims.. it will make much more sense..

[raysouza]

Multiple effects like the Zoom CDR 70 would be great for this, maybe a future FW update if the HW allows?

[jonathanm]

I think I speak on behalf of thousands of guitarists around the world when I throw the question… will this thing be able to run more than one effect in the future?

Apakah line 6 helix LT akan ada produksi terbaru ditahun 2024 ? Sebelum saya membeli produk lain ditahun ini

[aaronpaulfrancis]

Hi, Im operating my HX One stereo.
But when I switch to true bypass, a signal only comes out on one side. On DSP bypass it's completely normal on stereo.
How to solve this? Or does stereo not work on true bypass? Please help!

[joegriffithsmusic]

I have a Hx Stomp, and love it but I just got this to get a little more dsp out of it. Especially when I want to you poly pitch and stuff, is there a way to program this so I can use it with the hx stomp, using midi? So if I go on a certain preset then the effects on the hx one also changes accordingly?

[andiploi]

What I could not find in any videos is if this peace is a real multi-effect.
I mean is it possible to use a classic Scenario like having a Reverb, Delay and Chorus at the same time?
If so, how many effects simultaneously?
