Line6 HX Stomp

Amazing!!!

Wanted this one for so long. Its amazing piece of gear, but it takes so much time to learn it (time I don’t have always). There are toms of sounds to play with and its up to you to find one you like.

Replacement for all pedals

As a bassist, I had a pedalboard with octaver, delay, tuner and a couple of more effects, and they sounded great. But when I bought HX Stomp, in about a month I sold all of them, leaving only the tuner (using it when i setup my instruments). I've got M-audio expression pedal with this, needs to be a bit modded but then works great (you can use two of them, but I use only one)

The effects are great for my taste. I compared OC2 with Boktaver and it's not the same, but if you put a Bass oktaver (from legacy) in parallel, and blend them you can get even better sounds than OC2, so equal and different. You can get more or less fuzzy, more or less bassy.

It's great for practicing as well, I use iPad to play the songs via USB, use headphones out to listen to it, and I'm waiting on Zoom r4 multitrak to record it like that (so I don't have to use iPad). Also when using iPad you can get quantiloop for cheap, which is a great looper and you don't even need pedals then. Cool for home, never played with it live.

I also like the send/return for adding pedals to the chain anywhere, and I did use ditto looper first, so I can mute it without pausing, it's a cool effect, but you have to time it right. So it can be creative way to use some pedals, like additional features.

So far what you get is a lot, a tuner, tons of pedals, audio interface, midi controller (though limited one), practice "amp", etc. I also like the simple programming of the unit, I don't use it with a computer, I know my way around the interface and it's just so easy.

The only dislike but I don't mind that much, is that it uses 2.5mm instead of 2.1mm barrel, so you have to make an adapter for it. I bought 5v to 9v adapter on ebay and changed it's 2.1mm barrel to 2.5mm so I can play on power bank instead of included power supply which is chonky.

Overall can't find anything better for bassists that's in this price range.

Extremely Useful Purchase

Generates excellent sound as a stand-alone gear as well as delivers efficiently as a sound interface; small and simple, keeps me motivated to practice, which has no cash-flow behind the screens, as I am just a non-professional, recreational noise maker.

Little and powerful device

So I've bought it for live performances using bass guitar. Had a lot of cheaper processors before, but they all seemed to ruin the clean bass tone. This one doesn't. And there's almost everything you would need for a bass. Cab and amp simulation is top notch. What I miss are easy to setup synthesizers. Yes, you can dial up a nice sounding synth, but it takes hours. Zoom processors win in this regard, but then again - they ruin the tone. So far - after 10 gigs - this little pedal is doing exactly what I bought it for. Recommended for bass players.

Love it!

Compact and simple.

Line6- own IR-s are so-so, better to get some better quality IR-s as extra, tremendously helps.

The only downside is that this doesn't have true preset spillover. Can mess with snapshots, but it limits the effect count and gets a bit tricky, but when set up works like a charm.

Great Product

Really easy to use, good quality and sound for this price

top all in one unit

very good, compact, good qualitty, sounds awsome

Portable and powerful

A great piece of gear to help minimize board size, but keep the power and flexibility of a bigger pedal collection. The onboard amp models sound great, and the recording options via USB are top notch too. The fact that you are able to record both dry and wet signal via USB, and perform internal routing for re-amping makes it a great tool for experimenting with your sound in recordings. If it was busted (which is not likely, based on the build quality), I would definitely replace it.

Just a great multi-effect in a small box.

my new fly rig and interface tool

Absolutely fantastic piece of gear cannot recomend it and its sounds enough
