just got the hx stomp, my first pedal ever, and your explanations are clear and easy to understand. thank you so much for making this video 🙏💙

[averagemike]

Just here to say that I understand and appreciate the time and effort that goes into a video like this. Lots of work! Super useful resource for so many stomp users.
God Bless!

[francescocarletti]

It's a great video for beginners. I have made my first preset from scratch in 10 minutes. You are very clear and explain very complex things in a simple and logical manner. I will watch this space I am sure I will learn more from your videos.

I just purchased the Line6 HX Stomp. Today actually :) And this guide is just what i need. Thank you so much :)

[shugofrutos]

What a great resource. I just purchased a Stomp XL a week ago so this came in really handy. Thanks!

[Jamiemclarenmusic]

Thanks for this very useful vid mate, im gonna rock this bad boy and slam out my EP ASAP... Beltin.

[KrzysztofTwardosz]

very nice video and amazing sound . so simple and clear.
you dont need more than that. I was looking for instruction how to utilize additional footswitches. Well done video and keep it going :)¨

[Fender]

Love your instruction and playing Vids. Do you have a corresponding video for the Stomp XL. I'm so confused about this device that I cannot apply these coments and instruction to my XL. Or can you point to a Vid already done. A big thanks...

[Pros]

Thanks for the video! I couldn't find the video where you breakdown your portable rig with the expression pedal and two way switch. Can you please link it?

[ChaseMusic]

Hi Justin. Great video and learned a lot! Looking forward to your advance tutorial ! Godbless you and your family!

[andycohen]

Can you attach a pedal AND the extra switches? I don’t see how to do that.

[zacharynorman]

Can you speak to why certain effects are in front of the amp and others at after it?

[nohero]

Mic might be a little far back for my taste but some nice tones!

[rawmaysh]

i recently buy hx stomp but i have no pc for make preset through software please make video to set the presert in gadget not pc😢😢

[kelvinwong]

Thanks for the video, so how can u hook the extra 2 button switch & expression pedal all to HX Stomp? Or r u doing that just 1 at a time? Either expression pedal or using the 2 button switch

[Fender]

Wonderful and informative VID on the Stomp. I'm sorry to say I have added my disappointment on Stomp info for beginers on many Stomp VIDs.

The only thing missing is how to save this patch to your presets. Did I miss it.

Great job on making a patch. Would love your thought on the global settings.

Thanks SO MUCH!!!

[charleswood]

Very cool I’ve been interested in getting one!

[bretongear]

Ive had my HX Stomp for over a year but any video I always find something helpful so here I am!!

[danielallen]

Killer vid man. Super easy to follow. Appreciate the time you put in!

[erickdiaz]

Is it possible to add an external reverb/delay pedal so that when I change presets on the HX stomp, I can still get preset spillover? Or will there always be an inevitable moment of silence when changing a preset because the external reverb/delay would be in the effects loop in line with the amp model of that preset?
