@@HeyWorshipLeader I do! I've had it for almost a year now but I'm still struggling with concepts like input impedance, volume drop at the fx loop or having the the volume for all presets. Anyway, I do use it with other pedals. Most commonly, a compressor and a fuzz in front and a looper in the fx loop for home practice.
The whole video is amazing but I Just loved the very last part, very cinematic and realistic Just got myself an HX Effects lately, I need to experiment the plateaux + shimmer combination Thanks again Cheers from France
Thanks for this! The default settings on this one made me say "wha?" and keep on moving. I am excited to play with it some more having seen your demonstration.
My favorite way to use this reverb is just with the pitch mix off and a decent amount of modulation. It’s similar to the Rv5 modulate in darker settings IMO.
I find this reverb sounds absolutely INCREDIBLE with the octave mix at 20% and the predelay around 150ms. Put the decay at 9.0 with the above and it’s incredible
To add to my op, I find that shimmer is only useful in a contemporary worship setting when it’s low in the mix, putting the pitch mix around 20% reminds me of the shimmer on my old bigsky, pre helix
So...this preset that's in my EXPANSE pack has the octave up setting for some shimmer and an octave down...I combined them at this point in the video! Very cinematic and cool!
Yes! An Impulse Response is basically the captured sound from a real cab that's mic'd up in a room. So they act the same functionally in your signal chain. Hope that helps.
Hey Jimmy, I’ve been researching the HX Stomp and I was all for it until I found out it only has 6 Blocks, I heard that in 3.0 update they will add 2 extra blocks(maybe true, maybe rumor) but my question is, is 6 blocks enough?
Yes, the rumor I think has been fact checked. But no one knows when it will drop. But 6 blocks can be enough for sure if you get creative. But then again, I knew I'd want a compressor on pretty much all the time, so I got an external to save a block. But I don't know if that's necessary. I really just like having a board to play with! haha
I was worried about that too, but found it enough for 90% of things. I also save some blocks with external pedals for things I know I'll like almost all the time. I justified the purchase with the fact that this allows me to test things l like the Timmy, Klon Centaru, various amps, etc all in one box and that gives me a lot of creative freedom for a lot cheaper than buying all of those pedals. Plus, if you buy it used, you can probably sell it for close to the same price when you upgrade if you find you need more blocks.
It depends what you want to do. You can't tweak things infinitely like you can on the bigger helix units, but its great for plug and play with good flexibility. If you want to run heaps of effects you can, though you have to get creative sometimes. Most of the time i play with an amp and cab, boost, delay, reverb and a modulation. Sometimes I double up on a reverb or amp model. Rarely do I find the blocks limiting. However, don't expect to run dual amps with a delay a reverb and a boost, you'll find settings grey out because the DSP is used up. I think it's the perfect small helix unit, and I use it as an all in one rig. Sometimes i wish i had the bigger helix, but when I see its price and look at my stomp I'm extremely happy
This is the best I’ve ever heard plateaux sound😂
Thanks man!
You know the Hx Stomp so well it's impressive. Thank you, Jimmy!
Thank you so much and thanks for watching! Do you have a Stomp? Do you run it with other pedals?

Awesome, thank you!
Thanks for this. I kind of gave up on shimmer and I just use my rv6 in the effects loop
Yeah, I haven't been using shimmer much either, but messing with it on my Revelation made me want to see if the Stomp could do it.
Nice video. I like your approach on working the reverb out. Will be giving the reverb between amp and cab a good go.
That's great man! Have fun!
Thank you so much for your fantastic videos
Glad you like them!
I never tried it on the front side of the cab, makes it a whole lot more useable!
Agreed!
Thanks for this! The default settings on this one made me say "wha?" and keep on moving. I am excited to play with it some more having seen your demonstration.
Dude...I played it again this week during my chill/down time and fell in love again...great for ambient music!
Awesome. Watched the whole series so far. Can't wait for the reverb in the parallel path vs in the chain video!
You and me both! I gotta few other videos coming down the pipeline, but def on the agenda!
@@HeyWorshipLeader Awesome Sauce! I'll be watching em all. Hope they are all about Helix products Lol!
My favorite way to use this reverb is just with the pitch mix off and a decent amount of modulation. It’s similar to the Rv5 modulate in darker settings IMO.
I noticed after reading your comment that I didn't really run it that way. I'm gonna give that a try too!
Thank you, I am grateful for your tutorial.
That's great. man! Thanks for the encouragement

Yeah! Those are good settings!
Nice tweaking, mate! Really made me want to try some more ambient tones again. Thx!
Great to hear! Thanks for watching!
Love this series! Are you planning to do something similar with other effect types? I’d love one on delays or maybe some of the legacy effects.
I definitely plan to. I have a bunch of ideas, so it helps to know what people would like to see first!
Thanks for this!
Nice tutorial thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I've watched all of the videos of this series even though I don't own a hx stomp hahaha. Great videos keep it up
Haha! Best comment yet! Are you in the market for one?
@@HeyWorshipLeader not really, it's out of my budget but I enjoy watching gear related videos
Yes, “x” means there are more than one Plateau :-)
Good guess...haha! Thanks for confirming and watching! :)
The easiest way for me to get a shimmer out of my Stomp is to put my Big Sky in the loop.
haha! Yes!
I really liked this video. Which parameter are you controlling with the expression pedal from 20:00 to 21:15?
So...this preset that's in my EXPANSE pack has the octave up setting for some shimmer and an octave down...I combined them at this point in the video! Very cinematic and cool!
If I use IRs instead of cabs would I still be able to put effects in between the amp and IR?
Yes! An Impulse Response is basically the captured sound from a real cab that's mic'd up in a room. So they act the same functionally in your signal chain.
Hope that helps.
Thanks I was honestly just wondering😄 Since I still haven't tried effects in between amp and cab
octo verb no good?
ummm....it can be dialed in to sound "ok" but it is very shrill compared to other shimmer verbs
daumn, subbing
Thanks man!!

Hey man, can you actually load in your own impulse responses into the reverb, in the impulse response section?
You can load in any impulse response into the IR section to use on any preset. Is that what you meant?
@@HeyWorshipLeader oh sorry should have been more specific! Amp IRs I know are possible, what I was curious about was convolution reverb
