HX Stomp XL is my all in one rig now. Ive had a big pedalboard, a Helix floor, LT, HX Stomp + pedals....Stomp XL is the goldilocks for me. 4 Snapshots instead of 3, dedicated tap tempo/tuner, enough buttons for every setting, all in one and no need for a power supply or patch cables that can fail.
@user-tf4tv9bj4f The Floor and even the LT are quite large, making them much more difficult to tote around. Stomp XL and Stomp fit in a gig bag, backpack, or messenger-style bag. Less is more, sometimes.
I’ve often toyed with the idea of downsizing my floor to a stomp XL, but not sure if I could easily do without an expression pedal. Maybe a Pod Go might be a better choice?
YES!! I recently graduated from a GIANT PEDALBOARD to a very small board with only HX STOMP + CloudBurst (connected to HX STOMP effects loop) + a Vertex Boost (which I keep last in the signal chain to clean boost whenever I need it). I'm also using 2 footswitch extension (via TRS cable). This whole setup fits in my backpack, and it sounds great.
@@jamesmc1600 I just set the knobs on the Cloudburst to what I like, and pretty much leave it there. Also, I set the Cloudburst "Dry Signal" to Analog Mode (see page 10 of the manual).
For simplicity and flexibility, a stomp and a Morningstar mc6 gives me more sounds and options than I could ever need. Preset/snap/stomp switching, tap tempo, and even looper control. Might be too tweaky for many people, but it’s perfect for the size.
And a compilation of John putting nice guitars on spinning stools. Always makes me want to scream, that. TPS do it to. Mick will just chuck his nice strat down on a high metal stool, and go for a wander about. Freaks me out.
I've used that exact rig for live shows for the past 3 years. I set my HX Stomp up in Snapshot mode and use the 2 additional switches for scrolling to next or previous presets. The 3 stomp footswitches select 3 different snapshot options (usually Clean, Crunch, Solo). Personally, I'd like to have the capability to have a expression pedal as well as the Boss F5-6.
@@matthewdortona237 I'm putting the loop block before delays and reverbs, and after stomps. the loop is set to instrument level. I'm not using really high gain Tonex amps though, either clean or medium gain (Fender, Matchless, etc.). If I push the gain I use the Stomp gate. Haven't really had any major hiss issues so far.
This is exactly what I did with my Hx stomp last month! I love it and it's so flexible. I set up mine slightly differently so I don't lose a block with the fx loop send. At the end of my chain I split the amp off to the right and the direct left signal goes to my amp. Ive always been a pedal guy into a clean platform amp so this set up is very comfortable for me. I love how you set up the different levels and gain staging with snapshots. I always have to have a clean boost so I put a (stereo) gain block before the outputs and use the 3 snapshots for clean dirty and lead. Then I use the snapshots to adjust the amount of clean gain boost needed to take a solo within each snapshot. (or turn the lead snap into a rhythm)
@@Lomoholga2 They should be already.... Best cure for GAS is go fire up your rig and emulate the tones. 99% of the time, you already have them. That said, I think this efficiency, simplicity conversation is kinda valid.

Great solution, but I would prefer a solution with redundancy. Using the HX Stomp with a Friedman IRX, IRD, or Tonex One, you have an emergency backup to finish the gig should something fail. Also, spare power supplies are a must.
The only thing that matters on this channel is the playing! lovely stuff brother! Enjoy your playing and subscribe to your channel for the music, the ideas and the lessons that you put out. You should definitely do more of that. Have a good one!
4:44 You can move amp+cab to "send" line and ditch that volume block, inverting your amp/no amp logic. Additionally you can turn phones output into another send in global settings to use it as an output for the "front of the house" situation
This is actually why I bought one of these. I do work with a band that runs in ear monitors, but I pull one halfway out so I can hear my amp. I hate the sound of only in ears, but I understand that's what the sound guy wants. I do have the HX Stomp and an AB switch that fits right on top of the HX stomp. I was planning on running mine the same way as I have a Seymour Duncan Powerstage and a closed back Fender Hot Rod Deluxe Cab loaded with a Celestion Creamback that I'm dying to start using all together. This will help me ditch a lot of stage gear.
Great tones as always John! I’m a big fan of this kind of pared down/simplified approach to a live rig. As much as we guitar players love a sauntering meander down a side track or two (hell, a lot of us live down those side tracks permanently 😂) the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and this kind of set up is the epitome of that approach. I look forward to hearing how you get on with it.
Yep. HX Stomp and AB Pedal is also what I use. I made my own passive AB Pedal and use it to switch Snapshots. The only thing I miss is a Volume/Controller Pedal that I could use as a Wah, and to control Preset Parameters on the HX Stomp. Maybe there's a way to put a Volume/Controller in the Send/Return loop to do that. But, I so rarely feel the need for it, that I haven't tested that as a solution. I wish Line 6 would do a Firmware Update to make the Send/Return user assignable so I could just plug a Volume/Controller in there.
I did this a couple of years ago. I don't use snapshot mode. I use the external footswitch as bank buttons and the three buttons on the HX Stomp to change the patch. Works great.
Working on a quad cortex preset for a cover band that can go stereo, clean Amy winehouse stuff to heavier fuzzier white stripes, kiss. Awesome to see other ideas for cover band sounds and how to implement them. ❤
Love this video! Thanks for doing it! I’ve been using the HX stomp with some pedals….tuner first, drive, HX Stomp, couple pedals through the effects loop, and then out. But, I really need to try this set up. Very practical and makes sense. Cheers, John! 👏🏻
lol I've been meaning to ask for the presets used in the intros to be shown somewhere in the video or the description. I was hoping JNC's secretary or PA would read the comment since he is now Famous and can't read them anymore - seeing the preset at the beginning was a great surprise.
If it's just for amp and delay, I think it's a good idea. I just don't like a lot of the digital modulation. I would need a dedicated Tap tempo for the delay! It sounded good though what you did.
I just got a morningstar (the one with color lablels) to use with hxstomp. It's not much bigger than the boss pedal. It can be as simple or as involved as you like. I use an amp for my electric and an IR out the FX send to the board for my acoustic. Us ingthe FX send to the board gives me tons of options. I have different patches on the morningstar for electric and acoustic with FX as needed for each going to the amp or the board. With a dozen or so morningstar patches It's ready for anything I want without any last minute changes.
Yep, I have been watching JNC for a long while and wondering when he is going to realise that the HX XL into a Princeton with a 12 is the best rig for him 😂
Why do you have your FS-6 set up for Momentary? I use an FS-6, and set-it-to Latching? I believe it would be Easier on your Eyes if you saw the A or B Stay-Lit ? Great tones and playing in a nice Compact set-up.
Did you contemplate using the Ampero II Stage with more available blocks and footswitches? I recall your earlier review of that unit was somewhat favorable. I realize it is 50% larger than the HX Stomp and you probably don't have a second Ampero II Stage for a standby.
I was all set to sell my XL on eBay, but then I watched this. I just wish the FX were better sounding. I've got a cloudburst in the FX loop. I had a Tonex going in to the front of the XL, but the sound was being degraded noticeably by the time it got to my headphones. The Tonex sounds stellar on it's own. So infuriating......Great video though..
Bro check out the Pedalnetics footswitches! I've got one on top of my Stomp at all times (and it's nonexistent, space-wise, on my board). SUPER clever and convenient. Also, been running a Tonex One in the FX Loop as my amp (still use HX cabs and effects) and could not be happier. Such a powerful little portable setup. Literally can fit everything I would ever need inside my guitar case now.
I am just constructing the same set up:) the only thing I would be missing is an expression pedal for wah this way I loose the 5th stomp on the switch. So need to choose having 5 stomps or 4 stomps and the expression pedal 🤷♂️
I dig that Del Mar. I don't like Strat vibratos but if I could get one with a Mastery bridge and vibrato and a toggle switch to get neck/bridge together, that could really be a "one guitar to rule them all" type of thing. The middle pickup by itself on a Strat is completely useless to me personally
Need a momentary switch with latching leds?.....you avoid changing patches because of the dropout??.......I use 2 switches to select presets up and down with 3 snapshots on each..
I assume that you meant Yamaha DG stomp, there was cut out just when you said it, but yes, I bought DG Stomp half a year ago, never bought it when it came out, should have. But yes, it is still great pedal, i have used it just by itself, nothing else on stage. Then again, i still have DG amp with lovely motorized pots 😀, But it is in Finland.
I'm seriously considering ditching my pedalboard for one cable between the guitar and amp. I've played many gigs with this setup, and many with pedals. It's just as good (or bad) when I leave the pedals at home.
I have something similar for my Helix. I have the FCB1010 (10 footswitches and 2 exp pedals) becacuse i dont want to step on the Helix pedals because i like touching them to assign. It also can access software plugins on your computer through your Helix too, which is cool.
Nice tones and setup. It looks like the Stomp+FS-6 take up about as much space as your HX Stomp XL. Is there a reason you're not using that? Maybe you got rid of it? Or maybe you want to be able to swap in your 2nd Stomp for backup? -Tom
Former Hotone Ampero One user here. I started with this unit for bass and guitar before moving on to the Stomp XL. Best decision I made. The support updates with new amps and effects from Helix blow Ampero out of the water. That and the amount of presets available from the Helix and Stomp user community in my opinion make the case for going with the Stomp XL.
Amp. With the copious amounts of compression you use for your sound, adding the amp restored the attack and dynamics missing from the DI sound. Not that anyone would notice the difference when they're screaming Dirtbag at the top of their lungs.
Hx stomp, amps, hx stomp amps, amazing new pedal, hx stomp, random video on hx stomp, “we need to talk about ‘insert pedal’”…. Sheesh just a lot of noise and static about nothing but I’m sure you help sell a lot of these pedals for the manufacturers. You are a very good player though.
I've been doing the same kind of portable hybrid set for a while, but I think in a more versatile way. I'm using an HX Stomp XL, so I don't need the external extra footswitches (in fact, with the XL I get 3 more footswiches that are also color coded and touch sensitive instead of just 2 regular ones). Also, with the XL I get the benefit of having 4 snapshots instead of just 3. And, since I don't have to use any external footswitch, I can use that port to plug in an expression pedal. So wah and those volume/reverb/delay swells are pretty easy to do when needed. The only other pedal I use besides the HXSXL is a Digitech Drop, for those rare songs that require tuning everything down a couple of steps. The HXSXL and the Drop are powered by individually dedicated power banks, and both can be plugged to regular wall wart adapters while still running, if necessary. Just the perfect fly rig. The only thing better than this would be a FM9, but it would be much bigger, heavier and more expensive. And it would require spending some valuable time learning about it's features and interface, which is much less user friendly than the Helix stuff.
I also need to drop a pitch sometime so there is no option in the hx stomp to drop it with an expression pedal? And that is why the digitech drop is needed!?…
Tomorrow: We need to talk about the importance of pedal boards
You read my mind my friend!!Lol
Hahahahahha

Some folk are saying on YT that nobody's buying pedals at the moment. Any truth to that? BS or Wot?
I was just hanging out with Colt Westbrook last night (walrus audio) and he says his company is doing well!!
Pedals are super cheap on eBay. It’s a good time to buy, bad time to sell.
Make up your mind.
I dunno seems kind of clunky. Surely a big Boss GT makes more sense?
You changed your opinion to much in everything stick to your idea stay in it don't let companies change you
