Line6 HX Stomp XL (black)

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. HX Stomp XL comes loaded with more than 300 amps, cabs, and effects, including world-class polyphonic pitch-shifting effects. The 128 factory presets include vintage and modern sounds, and there are also presets created specifically for bass players, as well as individual bass amp and cab models. Additional features include a choice of true bypass and DSP bypass with trails, a stereo effects loop to integrate external devices or employ 4-Cable Method, a jack for two external footswitches or an expression pedal, third-party IR support, and a multichannel 24-bit/96kHz USB audio interface. 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. THE POWER OF EIGHT The HX Stomp amp and effects processor was already the leading device in its class—but with five additional footswitches, HX Stomp XL greatly expands its real-time performance capabilities. 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. AUTHENTIC MODELING HX modeling digitally mirrors the circuitry of analog amps and effects, component by component. Every model sounds and feels realistic, including such notoriously hard-to-model devices as vintage fuzz and modulation effects. Simply put, the HX Stomp XL amp and effects processor nails the analog vibe. INTUITIVE OPERATION Despite its compact size, HX Stomp XL is easy to use, thanks to its simple but powerful controls, color LCD, and eight capacitive-touch footswitches with color-coded LED rings. PRISTINE AUDIO QUALITY An industry-leading 123dB of dynamic range provides tremendous depth and ultra-low noise. High-quality components guarantee unadulterated audio from inputs to outputs, whether feeding an amp or powered speaker, going direct to FOH, or recording in a professional or home studio. MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY Highly configurable I/O permits such routing schemes as simultaneously feeding an amp and a FOH mixer, employing 4-Cable Method, and re-amping in the studio. External control via MIDI and optional expression pedal or footswitch provide additional flexibility. Line6 Helix Firmware Update 3.50 brings a completely overhauled Cab Engine to the Helix family, along with a set of new cabs to play with. Thousands of impulses were captured with Sound Design’s all-new IR capture system. These were then consolidated into 20 guitar cabs and 4 bass cabs.
