Line6 HX FX Queries

[Skybone]

All this talk of the Ric-o-sound in the Bass section has got me wondering...

 

Not only have I been seriously looking at an HX Stomp XL, but also wondering whether the HX FX can split the left & right inputs into separate chains?

 

Anyone got one & tried it? 

 

I downloaded the PDF manual, but couldn't find any reference to it.

 

Thanks in advance. 👍

Don't know 100% but I dont think it can! I done a bit of youtube investigation into the HXFX years ago and can't remember ever watching a video that someone ran it like that! Stereo FX of course though.

 

Saying that though, Line 6 are constantly updating things so it might have changed even if it never used to be an option!

I have an HXFX. This is something I've been thinking about trying / seeing if it's possible. I'll get back to you when I know.

It has the same layout as the Stomp, so you can do it but it's a little trickier than just plugging in. You'll need to assign a Y split as the first block, then pan Input A to L100 and B to R100; B should then be on a parallel path with the 9 blocks able to be split between them. Mix block will need to be panned A to L100 and B R100 too and you'll have to use mono effects or they'll recombine at the output.

 

If you want two stereo paths you'd need to use a Loop Send block to send the output for path B to the Loops and then set the Mix block to have 0dB of Path B in the signal.

Yes, very easily, then you have two chains, can process both sides separately, and then join the back together (assuming you want a single output)
