    It's very annoying that the USB C slot is only for HX One Librarian. HX One Librarian is useless. I need a desktop editor because it's really difficult to set parameters while kneeling on the floor. Another shortcoming is that if I change the name of a preset on the device, it is not visible in HX One Librarian. Another issue is that the preset number is not displayed on the display. How do I know what number it is??? I want to assign a MIDI message to a selected preset and what? Should I count from 0 to guess what number it is? The HX One sounds great, but its operation is a nightmare. It is completely incomprehensible that a device with a USB C connector has such limited editing options.

It's amazing, the hype is real. Having one of these is like being a kid in a candy store. The simple fact of having so many amps that sound so great is literal guitar porn.

So, is there a global setting for input volume and output volume for the Line 6? Eventually, I am going to run it in the effects loop of H90 when I can acquire the proper cables. But for now, the Line 6 is running into the H90 in stereo. Cheers

Has a fuller low-mid and core midrange, I can hear a lot more of the note. Pariah lacks a lot of that articulation, I feel like I can hear the fuzz more than I can hear the note Especially for the “always on” END thing, I’d go for the Swollen Pickle Which is annoying because the Pariah would look cooler on my board
