I’m pretty sure you could use the left & right ins/outs. Just hard pan the 2 paths in the stomp at the split & merge blocks. So pan path A 100% left and path B 100% right. But the only benefit (over how you do it now) is it would free up the stomp fx loop if you need it…
Steve Really clever / efficient routing - rig! A mate here does something very similar but instead of the Nobels he uses an HX One in front as he said he saw a bunch of Nashville Players still using the old Line6 M5 single pedal but as he likes the Polyphonic Drop style stuff uses the HX one, I've sent him your vid as he'd be interested in the wireless side of things and he said he'll subscribe \m/ Awesome vid
nice work on the board. I'm especially looking at that hinged plateau. quick thought: use a longer cable on the larger Shure unit and let it run around the 'hinge side', so you won't need to unplug the cable if you open the 'hatch'?
16:40 what you can do is to split Y and pan hard left & right on the input, it becomes a completely separate chain after the split. same goes for the output, u will need to pan em on the output block. that's what I did when friends came over and wanna jam.
Awesome vid. Glad you upgraded the wireless. Jason from Pedalnetics has just released a wonderful DI that fits under boards too - not that you need it as you're sorted - but mentioning it here if anyone is looking for an alternative as a DI that "just works".
Great board setup Steve! I have downsized with my HX Stomp. I have a couple external pedals. A Ptichfork and a Cloudburst for ambient stuff. I recently added the ToneX 1. It took me quite awhile to find amp captures that worked for me. However the two I found are really good. A 65 Fender Deluxe Reverb and an AC30. These two amp captures give me enough options depending on the FOH system. Working great thus far.
Hi Steve! Great video! Light and compact! Ive been looking to cart my pedals (HX Stomp) and cables/accessories/etc all in one bag. Is that the 20L or 36L Oono? Did you try/see the D'Addario gig bag, or any other similar bags?
Just one note idk if you don’t know or if just not a feature you use but you can scan on the glx wireless as well! I do it before every gig and have no issues!
Cool informative video. BTW, do you have the MojoTone 56 Quiet Coils or the Hot Quiet Coil P90’s? Was thinking about getting one but went with a Dylan P90 since he claims they are the best. I still want to try a Quiet Coil though.
I have a similar setup with two instrument paths in the HX Stomp. I wish it could separate the mono inputs without the split as well, I always have to utilize a volume/pan effect block in the already limited effect space of the Stomp.
Stop XL don’t have a symmetric jack output? If I recall correctly the normal one have one. So you can use TRS to XLR adapter with allow you to remove a DI box.
Yes you can, but I choose to not do this. I don't like the concept of adapters and loose wires on the board. I want it to be bulletproof and not have a stressed engineer not understand whats going on or have to frantically plug in a cable and bend a jack. It just puts me more at ease this way as its more "professional" seeming (to those that arent familiar with HX)
Great vid! Curious about the 2nd path for Jessica. Do you do all the switching for her live then? (Seems she wouldn’t walk over!). Isn’t that a lot of tap dancing?
Steve, I am doing the same thing with the HX Stomp and Tonex One. Presets in the Stomp with no amp block. No midi switching on the TNXO, so it forces you to majorly simplify the Stomp presets…
Hey Steve ! I’m surprised you don’t have your delays after the amp & cab ? I’m guessing you don’t mix them in to high ! Anyways great job ! Love your channel 👍Vic from Vancouver Canada !
@@SteveSterlaccinice setup there Steve! And you know what? I JUST got a Tonex One and also an MXR Joshua. I experimented with the Joshua after the Tonex. I dialed in I believe a nice Mesa Clean and the Maz18 with some dirt (responds well to volume control) for the presets. I found the delays mushy after the amp and cab with that pedal. Curiously I had an ODR1 mini to try in front of the Tonex and it really worked great! I just tonight tried the Joshua in the FX loop of my Synergy with the Z Wreck module and there it sounded the way I wanted it to. So I agree that sometimes it is better to have delays ahead of the amp - maybe the more digital ones anyway. I’ll have to try the Joshua before the Tonex as well. So cool how much sound you can get out of a small rig these days!
Hi Steve; thanks! Helix floor user here--yes, too big for traveling rigs. Wondering though 'bout your thoughts of pairing units, e.g. two HX Stomp XL's, two Neural DSPs, etc. to hit min DSP resources for your setlists? Thank-you Steve--BTW, your Knaggs sounds and looks Knagg-a-licious! Hey Internet: get SS over 100k subs please! P.S. Yamaha/Line 6: 000s of us Helix customers have our credit cards ready for our next Helix....hurry up, please!
I have no problem pushing the DSP on the units. Using the XL has forced me to simplify in a very welcome way. The rig is down to a few pedals and I get to just play more! Thanks about the knaggs! I love it
Do you happen to know which models your wife is using for the Tonex? Sounded great! (As did the Stomp XL ) - I am still learning my Stomp and need to use it more and JUST got the Tonex One last week.
I made the sounds, so yes! LOL One is the Super Reverb for sure (AMAZING CLEAN!), and the other I believe is one of the marshalls, but I will have to check that one.
I use low output PAF style pickups. So normally, there is minimal tweaking of gain if any at all. I basically judge if the "clean" sound is passed the edge of breakup, then I gain down or up
Sorry to play 20 questions. Many say the tone x 1 amps feels better than line 6 stuff. Would you consider using the tone x 1 and hx stomp xl together? Tone x1 for amps and stomp mode for weird sounds on the hx stomp xl?
Converters and cables won't be a secure on the board IMO. I've always just used a di. Maybe it's habit, but I don't want to use a converter or rely on house di boxes
Is this stereo? Or do you not really care about the stereo capabilities? I see so many people getting two tonex 1s and I’m like “is it needed”? Thoughts?
That’s a very impressive and an incredibly efficient board, Steve, especially considering you’re running two rigs and wireless at that!
Thanks Chris! Its been working out really great so far
Lolololololol

ah very cool! I debated doing the same. but the HX 1 was a bit too tall and didnt fit under the riser. Hope to see your friend in the comments!

Thanks! It works out great. That's probably a better idea than the way I'm doing it 😅
Nice tones...great video. I learn stuff about my rig every time...cheers
Thanks Johnny!

Yeah I know you can, but the panning is just annoying. Splitting it off visually makes me more comfortable 🤷♂️
Great content as always! Love your channel. Useful info, right to the point. Keep up the good work! BTW, Jessica's tele sounds really good!!!

Just one note idk if you don’t know or if just not a feature you use but you can scan on the glx wireless as well! I do it before every gig and have no issues!
I hit "channel" and it changes to the best available. Is that the same as you're talking about? Thanks for the help! We are still getting to know them

Dylans stuff is great! These are the 56 quiets
First I love your board it's excellent 👍🏻💯 and sounds great. But tell Jessica I'm Soo jelly of her Tele lol that kiesel looks 😮 incredible 🔥💯

I do it all. Minimal tap dancing. Just 2 switches really

I am enjoying the simple signal chain! Glad you're digging it
Steve, just for that little bit of noise, what causes that since the P90's are noiseless ? Around 13:40
I use the same wireless but didn't know you could use the smaller antennas. Mine lives in a rack though.
Hey Steve ! I’m surprised you don’t have your delays after the amp & cab ? I’m guessing you don’t mix them in to high ! Anyways great job ! Love your channel 👍Vic from Vancouver Canada !
Hey Vic! Thanks. I tried to make it like I use my real C30 in my studio. Delays going into amps get all crappy and weird, which i dig!

The P90's sounds really great! And do you have a main live presets for the FM9? I would buy it 😊

Weird question, but what is that usb-adapter?? I for sure need one :)
Where did you get those replacement Antennas for your QLXD? The originals are gigantic, id like to swap mine out for something like those
Off of my Line 6! Lol
Did you tweek the distortion or overdrive in the preset to accommodate the P90?
I know you used to play Humbuckers
I use low output PAF style pickups. So normally, there is minimal tweaking of gain if any at all. I basically judge if the "clean" sound is passed the edge of breakup, then I gain down or up

Fantastic podcast Steve.
@@darrengill thanks for checking it out!
Can you do 6 snap shots on the hx stomp xl?
The DI box is the hx stomp output? Mono ? And I guess the other DI is the tonex?
Correct! Both mono
ok ok - I'm not one of the 80% anymore!!!! 😁
Is there a powerbank that could power up the XL and the tonexone?
Yes the one in the video lol
Have you ever tried the Tech 21 Fly Rig 5?
I have not
Sorry to play 20 questions. Many say the tone x 1 amps feels better than line 6 stuff. Would you consider using the tone x 1 and hx stomp xl together? Tone x1 for amps and stomp mode for weird sounds on the hx stomp xl?
I am going to try this. I like the idea of freeing up blocks. Some of those models use a lot of DSP on the Stomp.
Why are U using DI boxes (HX stomp>DI>FOH)? Noise issuies?
Converters and cables won't be a secure on the board IMO. I've always just used a di. Maybe it's habit, but I don't want to use a converter or rely on house di boxes
@@SteveSterlacciSmart!
Hi steve, I own POD GO, I have to buy DI box for live performance.
You prefer dual mono DI box or stereo DI in one box?
I never use stereo live. Never once 🤷♂️
I dont see your ox stomp here. Do you think the ox stomp improve the cab section? Not worth staying in ur board?
I think it can be great. But for the size, it didnt make enough of a difference. Since Line 6 re did the cab engine, they have been great!
I need that Bag right now!!!!! Please give me the link for yo buy IT Now!!!!

How do you handle all of the power flavors in Europe?
The cioks works on IEC, so I have an EU and UK cable, then I use an adapter in Switzerland with the EU cable.
Is this stereo? Or do you not really care about the stereo capabilities? I see so many people getting two tonex 1s and I’m like “is it needed”? Thoughts?
Ive never once gone stereo live. Most soundmen just take your 2 lines and run you in mono anyway 🤷♂️
@@SteveSterlacci I just wanted to make sure I’m not the only one that thought this! Wink! Appreciate this feedback!
De madera. 😂
???
Stomp doesn't need DI BOX!!!! use a TRS to XLR cable, it will sound better.
I am aware it doesn't. But i don't want to rely on adapters. This hard wires to the board and is more fool proof. Better for what I'm doing
