    Do you use an external DI? Don't you like the ones in the Helix? Or is it for something else? I also do the programming in the HX Edit. However, I don't think the interface of the Helix (or HX Stomp) is bad. I like it. But maybe it's because I'm used to it.
  2. javi_bassist
    Also true. I sometimes hit two switches in my HX and it drives me crazy. And I must say that as you said, I prefer to program in the Helix (Helix LT is the one that I tried) than in a QC with a touchscreen.
  3. javi_bassist
    I have to admit that I have never thought about the Helix this way. I am not sure what you mean about the expression pedal, but it is true that the Helix seems a more robust unit that the QC. The singer/guitarist I play with has the QC in a hard case. He just removes the top of the case and play with it. But I also play with another guitarist who uses the Helix LT. And she takes it without any hard case, just in her bag.

    Well, I think the HX Stomp and the Quad Cortex are not in the same league. The HX is just a small Helix. The right comparison would be a full Helix against the Quad Cortex. The singer/guitarist of my band has a Quadcortex and it sounds really really good. I have considered one myself. However, I must say that I feel pretty comfortable within the Line 6 ecosystem and I don't really want to move. If Line 6 made a full Helix the size of a Quadcortex, I'd get it without hesitation. I'm not saying it's better, I think it's a matter of taste.

    I'm with @BigRedX. I am the happy user of a HX Stomp and I love it. However, if you want something simpler, I'd go with an Ashdown OriginAL DI or Pro DI like @police squad. Great preamps. The last Ampeg preamp also gives you a compressor in case you want it.

    Another happy HX Stomp user. Me too. When I got the Stomp, I tried to recreate the tone I had with my pedalboard and my amp. However, now I use other "effects" to get a really nice sound. Both units will be great. However, I don't know about the Kemper, but I guess it will be the same: it's not plug and play. You will need to learn how it works. But it is a great path.

    Back again with my Ashdown preamp. I must admit that I love the sound and it is a very underrated preamp IMO. I am not sure if it will last in my board because I really like to take with me as few pedals as I can, but I must say that I prefer to have it. Sounds really good. I use it as a valve DI and it gives some nice overdriven sound that fits perfectly in the mix.

    That only happened to me once, when I used it at 9V. At 18V I use it now with active and hot output basses and I never have a problem.
  10. javi_bassist
    That's also my case, but I don't think I can justify spending that money to fix those two minor gripes.
  11. javi_bassist
    It won't help your GAS, but it's the best bass I've ever played. The neck is just insane. And it sounds just amazing. IMO it is. If you want to control everything, maybe the XL would be better. I used to use only effects when I pairing with a preamp. I finally downsized my pedalboard and the HX also replaced it.
  12. javi_bassist
    I usually use the HX Stomp in Snapshot mode. Yesterday I was experimenting with some effects and that is why it is in Stomp mode. Besides, I don't really like the Helix tuner. I have used it butI think I prefer the Polytune.
  13. javi_bassist
    I have played some gigs with this setup and I love it. It's compact, versatile and it sounds really really good.
  14. javi_bassist
    I have used my Line 6 G30 for ten years. It's true that I am lately looking to buy another wireless because the other day was having dropouts. It was just that day and since I changed to RF1, no problem.
  15. javi_bassist
    My most recent update. I am not sure if I prefer the DCX before or after the Cali76. I usually have it right after the tuner. Yesterday I was trying to put it after the Cali and I am not 100% convinced. I should continue to experiment. Relay G30-->Polytune 3-->Cali76-->DCX Bass-->HX Stomp

    I have also moved from the KZ because they were always coming out from my ear. They were too big for my ear. I found the IE100 to be perfect in size. I also have the Mee2 as a backup because they are the same size. I know the isolate (I even used them as ear plugs when the other band was playing because there were too much noise). I guess there was just too much noise. Do you find a huge difference between the IE400 and the IE100? The IE100 sound great, but I think the KZ were just a little bit better with lows. Just a little bit. The IE100 are so much more comfortable.
