Treating Myself to Something New?
I love this pedalboard. I’ve spent hours on it. But it’s also back-breaking and takes an incredibly long to get sounds right. I want something that can fit onto my Pedaltrain Nano, with amp/can modelling, presets, and sound incredible. Sounds like an impossible combination to have, right?
A few days ago, Line 6 came out with the HX Stomp, a stripped-down version of their Helix and Helix LT multi-fx. I waited for the manual to be available and tried to read up on its flexibility for live use. There is an EXP jack that can accept both expression pedals or momentary switches, but only up to 2 additional switches.
The momentary switches will be assigned as “FX 4 and 5”. I think if I were to get this, I would run it in snapshot mode, move the tap/tuner switch up a slot, and dedicate the last switch to a dedicated stomp like an additional overdrive or boost for a solo tone.
