I was so happy when i realized i could run my Helix Floor into the front of a clean dry amp.. using the Centaur, and Stupor Od I get incredible drive tones. And, of course, the effects are awesome!
Great video. I had no idea that the favorites feature actually saved the *value* of each parameter! Wow. This really suits how my brain works. For each effect I might only have 1 or 2 sounds that I really love and will always come back to, and this avoids having to dial it in each time! And having a custom name is the icing on the cake. I didn't know this was possible at all. I always thought it was simply a place to "bookmark" your favorite effects to quickly access them.
I would like to set my system up so that I have the guitar going through an EQ into the HX. The signal then immediately goes out and in the effects loop going through some external overdrives and preamps that are MIDI controlled. Then it goes through the onboard effects and then the wet signal goes to the stereo outputs to a left and right Boss Katana 100 Mk2 head and 212 cabinet. I would like to take the dry signal from the preamps and route it from the HX to a center amp which is a Marshall JCM800. Is there a way to set up the second effects loop so it sends that dry signal out but doesn't interrupt the entire signal chain if there is nothing coming into the return?
This a great breakdown Budda. Thankyou. This was the solution I was looking for in terms of different sound organisation. I just hope I am happy with the tone I get from this unit, but you have me pretty convinced.
Hey, thanks for this video. Just discovered your channel today - I've got a Stomp and an HX Effects (odd combination but I had the HXFX first and wanted to add the amp sims). I fun the HXFX into the Stomp with the HXFX doing most of the heavy lifting in terms of effects, and I really love the way you think about the HXFX (the banks and snapshot multiplication). I've discovered this at a perfect time as I've just factory reset both of my units and will be using your approach to rebuild everything in both units.
I have owned one for about five or six years. I have never been able to work out how to use it as a pedal board and every time I take it back out of its box and try again, I reach the same point. So it goes back in its box and I use pedals instead. I just dont get multifx.
@@BuddaGuedes I have recently asked someone to create some presets for me to download onto it. I just lose all inspiration every time I turn it on and can’t figure put how to make it work as a pedal board. Snapshots?
Hi, I love your videos! I just want to ask , I see you're not using 4 cables method even if you use drives and reverbs and delays together. Is there an reason? Thank you for your answer :)
I used to have the HX Effects and ran it in 4 cable. It sucked tone. I really need the flexibility of this pedal and I'm wondering if there is a fix for the tone loss? Maybe a buffer somewhere?
Olá, você poderia me responder se é possível mudar os 3 canais de um Mesa Boogie Mark IV com esta Helix HX? Além de acionar o EQ do próprio amplificador? Grato pela atenção.
Thanks for the video. Is is possible to run this directly to my mixing board and PA I stead of running it through an electric amp? I play acoustic and electric with a looper and trying to get a pedal that will give me clean channels and also some cool effects for my tele but I don't want to pack my fender amp alone with the PA system. Any thoughts?
what happened to yr video, what's with all the flashing? Thanks for the vid, I'm slowly getting into my HXFX, but I find it distracting, rather be playing than fiddling, I guess I'll get there eventually!
It was a problem with my Final Cut, that I only noticed too late. As for the hx effects as with all the gear, we need to put the time into it and the. Enjoy it. Tools require skills too. And this is a very powerful, so complex tool to deal with
@@BuddaGuedes lol ... I enjoy it a little TOO much! Find myself playing with the HXFX toys instead of practising! But I have too many toys in general. 🤪
@@BuddaGuedes acredito. Fui dono de uma helix e a qualidade dos drives é estupenda. Essa hx tem a mesma base e acredito agora, ter os mesmos algoritmos.
Great video. Are you still using the hx? I love mine. Some days I’m not sure about the drives and other days I find them amazing. It’s odd. I think all the talk of “digital drives suck” gets in your head and makes you over think the tone a bit.
Your fx setup can be as simple or as complex as you want! Not only within the HXFX itself, with its myriad routing and i/o options, but also with external switching and controls, not to mention MIDI. It's nuts, really, a geekfest! 😆

Yes they are
Just bought a hx effects so enjoying your video very much thankyou.
Kind regards, Chris.
That’s great to kjow
Excellent video as I'm thinking of getting one of those HX to use with Fender Tone Master 1x12.
It’s a great pedal

Great Video. Thank you.
I will get my HX effects to replace my pedals and the HX stomp.
Now I know what to do first.
I’m glad it helped

It’s sounding great
I love all the effects on this except the fuzzes. I get the most usable fuzz sounds (for me) from the Horizon Drive.
Love your videos
Thanks a lot
Hopefully, the mark ii version of this will have a great screen, UI and powerful processor.
This is already a great pedal
Video excelente. Estava a hesitar na compra mas ajudou-me a decidir que quero o HX Effects. Obrigado, Budda. E uma abraço à Tuga. :)
Impecável Budda ! Obrigado pelas dicas !
Eu que agradeço
Guitarists working for hours on end to get amazing tones, my singer with their phone for lyrics 😂
😂😂😂
I’ve never thought about making a favourites list. But this really make sense
It really helps

Great to know that. Let me know how it went
Very helpful. Thanks.

I never use that method it’s only useful if you use a lot of gain on the amp

I have no tone loss at all.
A polytune 3 has a built in buffer.
👍🏻👍🏻
I think I had 4 seizures during this video. 👀
Why is that?

This doesn’t have amp simulator. For that purpose the best solution would be the HX STOMP XL
It is somehow possible by downloading some IR to it
Love your settings and the variety you got!
Where in your channel do you have the links for purchasing these- sorry I dont read Portuguese.
Thanks!
I don’t have it available at the moment, but I will have it soon
It will be available on the description box
@@BuddaGuedes Awesome please let me know when- I would love to purchase to help out!
I’ll announce it for sure. I’m getting to a place where I’m very happy with it
Hi, wanted to purchase to support you but I think the links are broken - gives me access denied.
What links are you referring to
Did you manage to solve that noise/hum that we can hear in the video? Btw, great video, it helped me a lot. Also having that noise issue.
The noise issue is related to te computer Beijing connected to the hx
@@BuddaGuedes , are you using 4 cable method with Mesa Boogie Lonestar from behind you? If you are, do you have some noise problems with 4 cm?

That’s why I did this episode. To help you focusing on what matters
Hey Budda. What amp were you using?
My super reverb
Ola man! Olha sentes uma diferenca abismal na qualidade de som da HX e a serie M?
Os drives e a capacidade de programação são muito superiores
@@BuddaGuedes acredito. Fui dono de uma helix e a qualidade dos drives é estupenda. Essa hx tem a mesma base e acredito agora, ter os mesmos algoritmos.
Great way to set up the HX. I CAN BLOW THE DUST OFF MINE NOW AND GET WHAT I want out of it. Thank you
Great to know that
Line/instrument levels and fx loop levels info needed when running 4cm.
How many songs you got Budda?
Why do you ask that?
Great video. Are you still using the hx? I love mine. Some days I’m not sure about the drives and other days I find them amazing. It’s odd. I think all the talk of “digital drives suck” gets in your head and makes you over think the tone a bit.
I’m still not convinced with the drives but I use it all the time and I love the HX EFFECTS
I would love to watch this video, but it keeps giving me seizures
😞
I think I'm having a seizure 🤪🤣
Ah ah 😛 😂😂
Hi Budda! May I have some advice about an headphone amp for practice with Hx effects? Thanks
I don’t know any. I’m sorry
Fugu Ficshinger! 😀 Who can THAT be? 😀
Ehh Eh!

UH! That all sounds quite coplicated!
Not at all!!! It just takes a while to get used to
