Line 6 | HX Stomp XL | Overview

Paul Hindmarsh takes a look at HX Stomp XL.

HX Stomp™ XL is a professional-grade amp and effects processor that delivers HX® modeling in a performance-ready pedal with eight capacitive-touch footswitches. The same SHARC® DSP chip found in our flagship Helix® products enables the HX Stomp XL pedal to run up to eight processing blocks simultaneously, and the assignable footswitches let you access and control those blocks in powerful ways, making it flexible enough for use in nearly any application. Use HX Stomp XL as a “super stompbox,” a backup or travel rig, an add-on tone expander with other modelers, a professional-quality audio interface, or even a complete guitar or bass rig. The HX Stomp XL processor’s Command Center functionality, MIDI capabilities, and external expression pedal jack also make it an ideal master controller for your entire setup. The free HX Edit app lets you create, save and load presets, and customize nearly all pedal parameters. It’s also a preset librarian, IR loader, and more.

Fantastic demo video here as always Paul. Love those riffs/tones for sure. Keep it up. Line 6 rocks!

[AlexPriceMusician]

Definitely getting an XL! Looking to put together a small acoustic rig

[DougDopplerMusic]

VERY cool - great job as ALWAYS Paul! Can't wait to get mine!!!

[PaoloC.]

I like the Prince-esque drum machine sound of the backing track.

[jamesprosser]

This looks great! Especially the added bonus of having x2 expression pedal inputs! Might consider this for an 'on the go' fly rig instead of my

[rileyioacura]

I love those Yamaha guitars!! They look and sound beautiful!! Please release them!!

[guitarsimon]

I can see this being the Goldilocks Helix for a lot of people, nice

[ayewhaddupdoe]

Watch this get announced AND released before my Quad Cortex ever gets here.

[andrewt]

Thanks - All really useful info - nice carpet slippers

[meraki]

Looks great!! just seen the bank up/down switches become pedals in stomp mode, does that mean we can get 10 stomp mode on the Helix LT in the next update?

[JeffHesterDesigns]

That Yamaha RGX A2 still looks modern.

[rogercarr]

How's about an update to the editing software, so that it is compatible with Mac Big Sur? - We've been waiting for that since November. It's getting a bit long now - waiting to update my computer.

[erickpahr]

Excellent! The better option among too much pretentious pedal boards.

[mpactdesignmedia]

When is the Paul Hindmarsh sig model Yamaha coming out (ie - the reversed headstock one-off you always use)?? I WANT that guitar!!

[Chriswoodworker]

Can this be used as a practice amp with just headphones plugged in?

[richoamezquita]

With the same big power brick or did you do anything for it to change it this time?

[XiyuYang]

Helix Rack, Helix Floor, Helix LT, Helix Effects, HX Stomp, HX Native, now HX Stomp XL...I'm not sure how I feel about this lol

[naryanclaudy]

Would this xl be worth it for me just playing around at home through a vox ac 15? I don’t play out and I am trying to write and do some recording soon.

[callofsirensofficial]

Can I take a line out to a power cab on stage AND a line out straight to the front of house desk?

[PNGtwentyfour]

If the LEDs still hum then Line6 hasn't addressed this devices fundamental flaws.
