LOVED this video mate - some of those sounds had a killer Atticus Ross favour to them. Would love to hear those on an album with a bunch of your peers. Hoping for a new album soon, man.
Cuteai.
Nice
Nice!
Love your Atticus Ross/Trent Reznor love that you often mention, Scott. Wannna hear a Devine version of those sounds!
Fantastic Janek!! The harmony and note generators are so good.
I’ve been using the hx stomp for about 2 years now also I can’t live without it. Loved sounds you got.
I got the HX stomp a few days ago, how do you use it? I was considering using it with my amp, using it with a laney lfr 212, using it with just a poweramp, I have to admit I'm a bit lost, I am now really considering the laney as it would supposedly replace my bass amp and my guitar amp...
Glad hes uploading stuff again
Great video, Janek! I'm considering adding one of these to my setup and really appreciate the different applications that you demonstrate.
I've had the Stomp in mind for a while, now I'm GETTING a Stomp pronto! Awesome vid!
Very nice Janek, can't wait for more on this....back in the 1980's Andy West used a unit called a Pro FX...which is still to this day amazing. I got one and used it with my drumset....I was making these sounds with my electric drums.... I still play around with it...now with my 6 string bass....fun fun fun.....never stop....thank you for your time
Hey Janek, great Video! I would love to see a video on how you would dial in a "amp tone" on the hx stomp to go straight into the PA! Keep up the great work, im excited for the hx videos to come!
Loved this Janek, really enjoy your channel
Nice video Janek.
I need a five watt mug ☕️
GREAT STUFF Janek! I have the Helix and use it at every gig. It has replaced my pedalboard. I ❤ it! I know that I have only scratched the surface of what it can do. I will be in learning mode for a long minute! Thank u for showing us what is possible. 😎
That synth sounds are gorgeous!
I love what you did here, this would do wonders for my school projects! Thanks for showing it off!
Very cool vid Janek!
Great content Janek!
As an HX Stomp owner I’d love to see a video on DSP management within the unit.
i.e. how to set up a signal chain for different use scenarios and balancing the user needs with the DSP capabilities of the unit.
I don’t run a lot of items in my chains but have noticed some items in the Helix are far more taxing on the DSP than others.
Cheers,
Damn, I'm a stomp box junkie who isn't into programming things, but the HX Stomp sure looks tempting! And, I'll always have love for Line 6, I still use my o.g. DL4 all the time. And, thanks to you, I snagged a Nova Repeater for a great price, I love it!
Great video, man! I recently got the urge to get back into messing around with effects and this video really hit the spot! That pitch/synth/modulation sound you got at 10:52 reminded me of the opening to One More Robot/Sympathy 3000-21 by Flaming Lips.
You helped me realize I also had a simple synth this whole time
Amazing demos of these patches. I’d love to sit there and mess with them for hrs.
Awesome video as always janek, please make more videos
You are back!
I have the Helix LT and am blown away by it!!
I really love the deep dive on the use cases for these amazing units! I still rack my brain daily with various use cases of my HX Stomp. Sometimes I need to use the DSP for amp modeling when I can't use an amp as well as recording scenarios. Then deciding on how to integrate a full on effects board without having to rebuild or re-arrange my board everything. Do I use the FX loop in the stomp and utilize a block for that? Should I utilize the more time based stuff as well as modulation only or should I use some of the dirt in the unit? I'm almost at a place where I am in full blown option paralysis. I digress. Some of the questions you posed at the beginning of this video are exactly the questions I have daily and it always comes down to what gig am I using this for and it changes constantly. Simplicity has come to be my answer in more ways than one, but understanding how you use it in context has been really eye opening. Many thanks!
This is serious quality content.
Subbed. Beautiful sir. And I see the Otto bit there ~ another one of my favorite pedals!!
That's such an awesome series. I know you probably don't really use this feature of the Stomp & Helix, but it would be soooo helpful if you could spend some time talking about the amp&cab simulations in the unit and how you can dial them in to create tones that are suitable for your style of music. Most of the reviews on Stomp & Helix bass tones are very metal oriented, and I would really like to see how you dial in the tone to something cleaner and more usable to your style of playing 🙏🏻
Yeah, I came to ask this as I run a full Helix and Wass wondering what your go-to bass amp models were (and yes, it def needs more)
Just picked up an HX effects. Almost got a helix but figured the effects would fit my use case better. I’m gonna consider the stomp as well!
The pitch generator bit blew my mind. Had no idea the Stomp XL could do that! I'd love to know how the unit handles bass distortion and overdrive.
great content Janek!
Love the footage from Clamores too. I wish I could get an streaming ticket for your upcoming Baked Potato gig. Already waiting for Bob & Janek's vlogs.
Another beautiful Janek video! Very soft image, and an excellent pedal sample, even resembles a Eurorack. I'd like information about the signal, if you use the HX connected to the aguilar, what appears in the video! But in the end you use Noble with some valve timbre and if that's possible!
Fantastic! Just discovered you and I'm in... :)
those chase bliss units with the hx stomp are insaaaaaane
Wonderful! You are the master of the effects Janek! What I always want to do is to come up with a tone similar to fender rhodes EP for chord playing, I tried lot a ways but I am not good in effects or not sure if even possible. Any suggestions?
Great video!!
Great Video Janek! Something that is fun when at home is I use my Hx stomp, and Helix Native at the same time in Ableton Live 11. A lot of fun to explore with the three. Especial for practice purpose and cool sound exploration.
Why using the stomp and native at the same time? Isn’t it like the same thing just with a plugin vs hardware
@@HappyChillmore Off load processing power from my computer and have switches and can use things like the glitch looper that you can't in the software
Lot of cool sounds in here!
I just finished capturing the Quad Cortex. Had to let it run overnight, but it looks like I have the whole thing in one block now.
Finally someone doing something actually creative with these Line6 devices! I've been playing mainly guitar this last year, but all the other guitar players are more concerned with cooking up nostalgia-fueled sound patches, so I think i'd rather look at what the bass players are creating instead. I ordered the HX Stomp XL about a week ago, so it should show up any day now ☺️
Question: can one midi controller unit control more than one device simultaneously? I'm thinking about getting the HX Stomp as well, because I've been seeing the used price dropping every week since the XL came out, and I'd like to experiment with using two units together
I'm pretty sure you could control the second Stomp from the XL via midi. And i have a Morningstar MC-3 controller that can control a crap load of devices at the same time. So I know it's possible.
Best bass channel by far.
Hi Janek,
I would love to see some content about the HX Stomp as a small footprint all in one solution.
How to use the unit by itself (or maybe adding 2 non powered external footswitches) when you have a set with a band with a few songs and maybe a jam patch that can cover a lot of ground (octave, overdrive, ambient, slap).
I am having a hard time configuring the unit in that way (it is still a work in progress). Because I also need to be able to get to the tuner, and go from one present to another in between songs. Choosing between the very flexible stompbox mode (that could be cool, but you can't change preset by pressing sw1+2 or sw2+3) or the snapshot mode.
One weird thing of this unit's bypass is, when using bypass mode (super cool as a bass player), when you press a footswitch it will remove the bypass but not engage what you pressed. Which is a shame, because it would free up one snapshot for a clean tone when using and external footswitch with the bypass on it. Line 6 if you are reading, it would be great to be able to setup the bypass to be canceled and also activate what has been pressed instead of just whatever was on before going to bypass. Only pressing again to bypass would come back to whatever was on before.
I would also welcome more discussion about the HX Stomp as a solution for situations where space is limited
Hi Janek, this is great stuff. I wonder if you can advice on the following. I'm trying to decide whether to include in my pedalboard the HX Stomp or get individual pedals: sytnth (C4), reverb and delay (TC or Strymon), and octave pedal (OC5). I have read that integrating the HX stomp with other analog pedals can result in a muddy sound depending on where you place it on the chain. I wish I could do both, but budget and space are bis issues. Your advice (and from others) would be much apreciated!
Great video.
I had a stomp for a while hoping it would be tbe pedal to rule them all. however I found it frustrating to use and overall my individual pedals sounded better (frantabit, oc2 etc). being able to tweak a setting quickly via physical knob rather than scrolling through layers of menus unfortunately killed it for me. i can see the benefits when watching this video and maybe one day I'll re-purchase.....thanks Janek...
I think there are some very strong arguments for SOME players to use it as a stand alone unit with no other pedals, but like you, that isn't normally the case for me. And as you can see, I still surround it with some of my favorite boutique/weird pedal options. As a hub though, I think it's pretty awesome, and I haven't even scratched the surface in terms of using it to control other pedals with midi. I think that will give it way more value on the board once I can route those kinds of options.
Great video, I would love to see a video on an ‘ampless’ rig
Hi Janek, I’ve been building my board for when we get to touring again . And the stomp is defiantly in consideration , it’s currently a toss up between the XL and the stomp I am currently using the source audio soleman as my main midi controller for the rig and the midi implementation is extensive have not run into anything I can’t do yet, but like yourself I’m trying to slim it down a bit and take a few pedals out . Do you use the midi control side to select presets on other pedals ? And can it take the expression pedal inputs and map them to external midi? And finally another reason is the amp and cab IRs, to send one of the send channels through a B15 model say and send that just to my neve RNDi for front of house , do you you send a feed with an amp model or have you to see how it sounds . Anyways thanks for the videos bud, most helpful and virtually convinced the HX are the way to go .
I have the mira m2 and the stomp xl. Would love to see more on the looping and other features that aid in practice.
Definitely coming. I've created a "Practice Session" preset that I use in the stomp. I'll highlight that in the next video.
Great!
Omg can you turn this into a 10 hour long chill sound? I literally fell asleep on the couch while watching this video!
Hey Janek, is it possible to change the eq and volume on the fx loop also?
I've got a source audio envelope filter (old one) that I would like to put there but it lacks low frequencies and the volume is a bit lower when I switch back to clean. It's a bit of a bummer because apart of that, the filters are good and maybe the stomp can help with volume and to beef up the lows. I couldn't find it in the manual
Damn that's amazing! 😮 can you play the synth engine with a midi controller??
Does the Line 6 HX Stomp XL Guitar Multi-effects Floor Processor has reverse effect....thanks Dad
Couple questions. Can you make a bass sound like an octave up or like a 12-string bass like Jermey from Pearljam , also can you detune a specific string like drop the E string to D ?
I would to see how you uses these present with the stomp HX
Hi Janek, is there an option to apply an envolope volume follower of the clean signal to add volume dynamics to fuzz/distortion effects?
I'm not sure I understand the question to be honest... If you want to apply different things to different elements of your sound, you can definitely split your path and use an envelope follower on one side, and have other effects in path B for instance. I do that a lot with the harmonizer presets I've made for instance.
Trying to downsize. If I go w the hex stomp for bass what do u use for live shows as a cab that’s loud enough? It has to be a Powered speaker like headrush or what not correct? Worried I’lol miss the stage thump. I know the stomp sounds great thru the PA system
It is awesome to get a peak into your Stomp settings. I am surprised not to see an OC-2 on the board. Do you think the MXR VBO is close enough?
I do. Especially if it's being used in conjunction with a fuzz or bit crusher for synth bass sounds. I'm going to try the new 3leaf audio version soon. And it's not like I don't still have a bunch of OC-2s at home, they're just too big (and also 12v which can be a pain as it needs its own dedicated power spot and can't run on a chain) and not necessary on this current board.
@@janekgwizdala agreed, it does a good enough job and only takes half the space. I also like that it has more head room.
The dude at 3:27 is me whenever I watch you play.
nice!!!!!!!!
Sharp end gang! \o/
Thanks for the great video!
I have the Zoom B2 Four right now and I found that it just kills my tone. When I go straight into my amp I get a nice sound but even having the Zoom on bypass mode my tone is shot.
Have you had any issues with your tone being weakened or thinned out while using the HX Stomp?
Never with the Stomp. I think the Zoom stuff and the Line6 products are just in different leagues. I think that's why the zoom B2 is less than half the price of an HX Stomp.
are those synth oscillators sounds also available on hx?
@janek will your patches be available to download?
hi, congratulations always for the videos, I am a bassist / double bass player from Palermo and for a while I started studying from your books that I am really enjoying, so congratulations again. I am writing to you because I would like to purchase a line6 product for the first time and I do not have enough money for the helix, so I would like to know if you recommend me to start with the Hx Stomp or if the new Stomp Xl can be a better alternative. Thanks in advance
I think either the Stomp or Stomp XL are more than enough, especially if you're taking it to gigs. I have the helix, but I doubt I'll take it on the road unless I have a big gig that warrants carrying the extra bulk around.
@@janekgwizdala Grazie 🙏
Gassing for one of these
How about a walk through of building presets?
Just diving into this unit looking at midi controllers and how to get it to sound good with the live rig.
I've used the Morningstar MC3 and MC8 with mine. It opens up a whole new world.
Does the stomp have the drop tuning capability?
Thinking about getting the HX Stomp. Wondering what you think about the Boss GT-1000Core for Bass compared to this? If you had the chance to take a look at it, that is.
I would go HX Stomp every time. Even just from a UI standpoint. Programming is easy, layout is clear, and it's easy to expand with midi switcher if you need more button control.
@@janekgwizdala Awesome, thanks for the reply. There are just too many unhelpful "reviews" out there. Really appreciate your opinion on this. Looking forward to more content on those units!
For those who care. I actually ended up with the GT-1000CORE. Not that the HX Stomp is bad, but I sort of like the amp models in the Boss more than the Line6 ones. That's clearly subjective though, and probably only matters if you don't want to carry around an amp. The UI didn't bother me that much as well, which is also pretty subjective. I can see people getting turned off by the manual though, it's intimidating and has the dryness of an Excel spread sheet, however if you like reading manuals (like I do) it's gives you a lot of neat things to work with. Maybe, if I end up having too much money I'm going to add the Stomp to my collection as well, just to get some of the wacky sounds in that thing. Dang, gear is just way too much fun, I should be focusing on practice more :D
Hi Janek, which envelope filter is you favorite?
+1 on that, would love to hear his opinion regarding the filters on hx stomp!
You have to remember that the way I'm using the stomp on this board is part of a much larger signal chain. So, my favorite filter isn't actually on this board. It's the moogerfooger MF-101. It's totally impractical for touring, and needs tip-positive power. Just a pain in the ass for anything outside the studio, and they don't make it anymore.
I think the Iron Ether Xerograph Deluxe, which is my filter of choice for this pedalboard, is perhaps the best one on the market. And the reason i'm not using a filter within the stomp for this setup is that it's not in the right place in the chain to be able to utilize that feature.
That's not to say there aren't cool options in the Stomp though. I like the Q Filter, the Throbber, and the Seeker. All of which can be found under Filter>Legacy. When I make a video on using the Stomp as a stand alone unit, I'll be sure to include some filter options.
I will say that the key with pretty much any of the filters in the stomp, is making sure you have an expression pedal to make the most out of them.
Have you stopped using the OC2 in favour of this? Or is the synth octave sound just not part of your playing right now?
It's just not on this current setup. I still have a bunch of them. Space is limited, and the MXR is very close in sound, and way smaller.
Alguien sabe donde puedo adquirirla
Oh, so *that's* how you're supposed to use those Secret Synth presets... 🤯
the sound at 08.31 it’s your personal creation ? it’s great, and I would like to reproduce the same
That is something I programmed, yes. I actually sell the preset for the HX Stomp at my website: janekgwizdala.com/store/line6-presets
It's called "harmony 2"
got that guy in the front row mesmerised at 3:30
Quick comment on your Tri-Logic settings?
For the most part, pretty much just flat, and on. I'll use the EQ to give me some variation for a specific room if I need it, but it basically just warms up the sound nicely. Really glad I added it to the "always on" section of the board. Had it for years, and never really dug into it before.
@@janekgwizdala Nice, thanks! Is it somewhat comparable to the EP Booster or would it make sense to have both in a chain? I seem to recall your EP also being in the always on-section when you were using it.
Was that Dave o Higgins?

it's all great but i would hate if this pedal goes down in the middle of travel/gig

Amazing soundscapes / 'outside' playing / sounds and can't wait to hear what you get outta the Hx Stomp when you do some deep editing via the HX Edit Software.
