Let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like to see. I've got a few more lined up here soon with some recently release and yet to be released distortion pedals and delays. Thanks for watching!
@@sunnyhaair how about some of the pitch shifting? I really like the whammy 5, but as I understand it the helix isn't polyphonic. I honestly just want to hear the weirdest things.
Thanks for the detailed look at both of these, and the comparisons. Really helpful! For my needs, this video makes it clear that the HX FX is the winner. Cheers.
Very informative and reasoned video, thanks for posting. I’ve been very disappointed with some of the promo video’s which don’t address the very obvious logistical challenges using the Stomp can pose. We are fortunate to have the choice of so much great equipment these days.....thanks again👍
Isn’t is such a great time to be a guitarist? I’m envious of all the players starting out now with so many amazing products to choose from. Even the affordable stuff is miles ahead of the entry level gear as recent as 10 years ago. Thank you for watching - hope you found the video helpful!
As an old blues dog, I find the complexity of this device to be daunting, and for gigging, a possible nightmare of re-tweaking to fit the acoustics of the room when there's limited set-up time, etc. I'm sure there's lots of incredible sounds to be utilized from this pedal, it just seems un-navigably, I guess complex, is the word. Nice to know it exists for those with that sort of interest.
Having the ability to load IRs in the HX Effects is a real benefit for acoustic players. You can get IRs of various acoustic guitars and it will sound much better using an IR than if you just plugged your acoustic straight into a mixer/PA
I love the HX Effects, I am not into amp modeling and cabs. I use a Mesa mk5 35w head 4 cable method with the unit, it sounds great unit I start to increase the gain and volume, that is when the trouble starts and a loud high pitched sequel occurs. I tried using the internal gate, and an external gate, not help. The high sequel even happens when the guitar volume is at 0. Just a warning to those wanting to use the HX Effects with a high gain amp.
I'm not having these issues using the Stomp version with no amp/cab sims in front of my Orange, and we play loud at practice. It's actually quite cl we an and quiet.
Tanner Boil I have the same rig. I came to realize, that only happens (the hugely obnoxious and loud squeal) on channel 2 on any mode, and when using the effects loop. If you have that channel’s gain and treble too high, it will actually start to over drive the effects loop and cause it to feedback. Took me a little bit to boil it down, because I thought it was maybe bad or harmonic tubes, or something wrong with the hx itself. Just don’t fully crank the channel gain and treble, because I believe that the treble is actually tied to the gain as well. You could always lower the output gain too on the hx if you wanted to I’m sure
Yeah, after spending more time with it, 6 blocks are very limiting... especially because I'm always sticking an EQ block in the chains since the amp EQ is generally ineffective. I've found myself using 6 up before even realizing it. And a lot of effects are DSP hungry. For instance, if you want to run two amps in parallel, the 6 block limit turns into a 5 block limit; if you want to run three delays, you'll be limited on other effects, etc. Not surprising though as the models are high quality and high horsepower. I'm also guessing by design, Line 6 doesn't want it to be an all in one solution because then they've still got a wide open market for their other products. So, I think it's something that could handle being an extensive effects processor OR a great amp modeller, but generally speaking, not both at the same time. Thanks so much for watching!
There are plenty of single-function boutique pedals that are similarly priced. Their intention behind the HX stomp was for it to be added to your existing pedalboard.
I'm really thinking about getting an HX Effects. I used to use Line 6 years ago but went away from them to go the Fractal route and have had an AX8 for a good while now. Still extremely happy with the amp tones, but honestly I feel like the effects and pedal emulation have left some to be desired, and have always felt positively about Line 6's take on that stuff. Plus there are some definite limitations on the AX8 when it comes to cpu power and loading up on effects. Definitely got the itch to run the HX effects through the effects loop on the Fractal.
Sunny, this was dope. I noticed as you scrolled through the stomp that there was a paraeq. I am needing either multiple eq pedals, or a unit like the stomp or hx effects for switching between eq settings. Gonna think on it. Thank you!
Hey, thanks for watching! It's a great EQ unit. I actually use it that way quite a bit. For instance, with my Blackstar Fly 3, I have a patch with 6 different EQ blocks just for different clean tones whenever I'm noodling around. All the various models have their own characteristics. The Para EQ and Cali Graphic EQ are my favorites. Ideally, I'd be able to make a video highlighting that and the other block types, but real life has been hectic lately.
@@sunnyhaair super cool mate. would love to see your eq demonstration. i'm gonna check out these pedals at a local shop on the weekend, using your video as a navigational guide in my head. cheers!
Informative Video! Thanks for the close shots of you setting up the stomp! Can you give your opinion on whether you think the Stomp will be easy to use in a live environment from the standpoint of getting to pre-sets quickly? I play in a cover band and sounds/effects can differ greatly from song to song. I think modeling is the way for me to go to get radically different sounds, but I've got to make sure it doesn't take me 5 minutes to get from one to another (once they're set up). I'm currently using a DigiTech product and seriously considering a return to Line 6. Thanks! (Edit: I do need to resarch the switching capabilities using midi)
Thanks for watching & commenting! In a live setting to switch between presets easily (without having to use your hands) you’d need to have Preset Mode selected as your view option. From there, to switch between banks of 3 presets at a time, you’d press FS1 + FS2 to bank to the previous 3 presets (30 A-C from 31 A-C) and/or FS2 + FS3 to bank forward (32 A-C from 31 A-C). If you were snapshot mode it would work the same way, but it would take you to the current bank of presets and from there you’d bank up or down as needed. It fortunately won’t take 5 minutes, it won’t even take 5 seconds, but it isn’t as fast as the Effects is with its footswitch layout. From what I understand you could also use an external footswitch to control banking up or down, but as that would be extra money and an extra component, I didn’t cover that in the video.
Would you be willing to do a video where you pair the two? Maybe with midi? I have be HX effects and I’m interested in the stomp to incorporate the amp modeling.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to pair these two as I sold my HX Effects last week. I didn't use it for months after I got the Stomp. I could link it up via MIDI to the Helix floor unit as a guide if you'd like! When the Stomp first arrived I used it along with HXFX by setting it up in the FX Loop like I did for this video and it worked perfectly. Just like having the extra horsepower of the big Helix.
HX Stomp XL would be a better comparison against HX Effects. In my opinion it beats the regular Stomp & HX Effects. However there are others that sound much better to me such as Fractal FM3 or Boss GT 1000 Core. Headrush MX5 is a good middle of the road unit too with the easiest user friendly interface of anything similar.
Oh this was made years before the HX Stomp XL 😅 I’ve since sold the HX Effects. The Stomp XL is definitely neat, but I prefer the Stomp. I love the form factor of the Stomp, and for bigger jobs I’ve got the flagship Helix as well. If I didn’t have Helix though I’d probably pick the Stomp XL. I just sold my FM3 as well. Fractal was a little underwhelming for me, but I think at some point down the road I’ll pick up an FM9 to revisit the system Thanks for watching!
hi, if i got a interface already (UX2) and i got amps that i'm really happy with so i lean towards Effects but I would also really love to use it home when i play hooked up to interface only - can you use amp/cab modelling from your software on the PC and effects from the unit ? I never done it before hence asking ;) also from what i gather in this video Effects seems to be easier to understand for me and i like the fact that there's so many foot switches, each with display :) Stomp is compact but seems to be complicated, if i wouldn't have any interface i think i'd go for it ;p Unless - would it be worth it to upgrade my good old UX2 to Stomp ? I can't really complain on UX2... I'm total newb in terms of signal chaining and FX stuff ;) when playing electric (home only) i like to do it over interface as i can get a lot of different sounds but at the same time i'd love to be able to have that countless possibilities when i go out with acoustic plugged into amp. all the best and of course a tons of a great stuff in this video, keep on doing a great job in educating us all :)
Hey Jakub, thanks for watching and the kind words! If you’re happy with the UX2 there’s no need to update just for the I/O capabilities of the Stomp :) And yes! You can absolutely use software modeling with HX Effects. You’ll definitely want and amp/cab modeler instead of a cab sim alone since HX Effects doesn’t replicate a power amp stage though. There’s tons of great software amp stuff nowadays. I really like Softube Amp Room (I have a video on that here too), the Waves PRS Bundle (videos here for those too), and Helix Native! With HX Effects you can get Native for $100. Good luck!
I haven’t used that one, but I used a Zoom G9.2tt for 8 years. Zoom’s got solid products, and some of the effects can certainly stand up to their Line 6 counterparts, but the amp models, I/O, and overall HX technology in the Helix range sounds much more natural and handles dynamics better.
Since they are the same price, would you only really get the stomp if you are someone who likes using less available effects at a time? Looks like the Stomp's screen might be more navigationally friendly. The laptop fact is interesting. You really can't do that with the Helix FX @27:54 ? They are the same price online now, at least in 2020.
Hello Sunny I have a question for you? When you turn your Helix Stomp on and it takes a few seconds to boot, does yours make a click sound when the tap tempo switch kicks on. Also when you turn the unit off does it make a click noise?
Hi! It does indeed make the click when turning on. It makes a slight click when turning it off too, but it might not be audibly apparent since the on/off switch noise covers it up. I've never paid attention to whether or not the Floor and Effects models makes the sound when turning them off, but they both click when turning on.
In term of quality of the signal , the sound of stomp vs hx effects (without simulations) is the same played direct to the combo? Or its different like it was in comparison of pod hd 500 vs m13 (or dm4)? I have a pod hd and a dm4...the signal direct to the combo with dm4 is really more "real" vs the pod hd that seems very "fake". Im gong to buy a multifx and I have to choose the stomp or the hx effects. What do you think about it?
Hi there sorry for the delayed response. For some reason I don’t get notifications for comments on this video. To answer your question though the signal and audio quality are both the same! I ultimately settled on the Stomp and I’m sure you’ve already made your decision by now, but if you haven’t and have any more questions I’d be happy to answer if I can. Thanks!
Hey man.. have you ever used both at the same time? I wanted to do that but I'm not sure how to hook it up physically and digitally (I meant the fx loop block to use).
Yep! In this video at 12:57 I have the HX effects in the loop of the Stomp. It works with a Y cable too if you want stereo sounds. I think you could sync them with MIDI pretty easily too
Hey man, thanks a lot for the video! Just a quick question, does the Stomp have effects like Leslies, Uni-Vibes etc. as well, and if yes, how good do they sound?
Yep! As of writing it’s got 3 Leslie models and 2 Uni-vibe models. I haven’t actually played through them enough to recall if they’re good or bad to be honest. I’ll do that tomorrow though and can post a clip for you if you’d like.
Great Video ! The HX Effects costs 450 Euro and the Stomp 555 Euro. I am not sure if i should buy the stomp... Is it better ? Are the more price worth ? Thanks for help !
Thanks for watching Thoras! What would your primary use be? The HX Effects is a lot of fun, but in my opinion, the Stomp is an infinitely better purchase. The recording capabilities, form factor, amp models and now the new 3.0 firmware that removes that 6 block limitation so that you can utilize up to 9 (DSP permitting of course) make it hard for me to give an edge to the Effects. Good luck with your purchase! Let me know which you go with and how you like it.
I dunno I fucking hate the stomp. I just got it. I feel I’d prefer the effects. You need to consider what you want, try it, and return or exchange if you need to. In my opinion the amp sim aspect is trash, and I would prefer more foot switches.
Hey Jose, thanks for watching! Yeah, I'm still loving the Stomp and don't regret selling off my HX Effects. It can do everything I used the FX unit for and more. To be honest, if I didn't utilize the 4 effects loop on the Helix Floor to run pedals in parallel I'd sell that in favor of the Stomp too. I'm hoping things in my life will get well and normalize so I'll be able to do a 6-month update/review thing, because there were a few things I was wrong about in this video. Mainly the live mode switching. And also because it's got a lot of strengths I hadn't discovered at the time of this video.
@sunny. Thanks for the video! I thought if I run two amps and two cabs my block will be limited to 5, but I have 6 blocks running. Am I not running it parallel? I just split the line and add the amp/cab on path A and path B. Thanks again for the video :)
Yep, it’s absolutely normal. The Stomp reaches about 97 degrees F (36 C) and maintains that temperature even if I leave it on for an entire day. So as warm as it gets in the first hour of use is as warm as it will stay; Nothing to worry about! For what it’s worth, HX Effects doesn’t get warm.
Thanks for watching! Sorry about the volume differences. I had my voice sidechained to the guitar track so it caused a few issues. I’ll fix it in future videos!
Hey man, I'm not trying to be a dick, but could you speak up in your videos? I tried watching this video in the shower at full blast and couldn't hear a word you were saying, but could hear the guitar load and clear. Even pressing buttons was louder than your voice. I tried listening in the car while working and got the volume up to where I could hear what you were saying, but then would just about go dead everytime you would play because you were so quiet compared to the guitar. Again, not being a dick. Just constructive criticism. Even processing a quiet voice could go a long way.
Get more of these up dude! This is the exact kind of comparison video the internet is lacking right now!
Let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like to see.
I've got a few more lined up here soon with some recently release and yet to be released distortion pedals and delays.

Yeah, I'm still loving the Stomp and don't regret selling off my HX Effects. It can do everything I used the FX unit for and more. To be honest, if I didn't utilize the 4 effects loop on the Helix Floor to run pedals in parallel I'd sell that in favor of the Stomp too. I'm hoping things in my life will get well and normalize so I'll be able to do a 6-month update/review thing, because there were a few things I was wrong about in this video. Mainly the live mode switching. And also because it's got a lot of strengths I hadn't discovered at the time of this video.
Wow very nice brother. May our Lord God Jesus bless you. 😎
Thanks!
Which your favorite?
My favorite is the HX Stomp :)
@sunny. Thanks for the video! I thought if I run two amps and two cabs my block will be limited to 5, but I have 6 blocks running. Am I not running it parallel? I just split the line and add the amp/cab on path A and path B. Thanks again for the video :)
Thanks for watching!
hey bro how about temperature your hx stomp my is feel pretty warm it normal?
Yep, it’s absolutely normal. The Stomp reaches about 97 degrees F (36 C) and maintains that temperature even if I leave it on for an entire day. So as warm as it gets in the first hour of use is as warm as it will stay; Nothing to worry about!
For what it’s worth, HX Effects doesn’t get warm.
its same sound right ?
Yep!
Hard to hear your voice at times...and the clean guitar...too soft. Sounds like your whispering. Otherwise, a great video. Thanks for making it!
Thanks for watching! Sorry about the volume differences. I had my voice sidechained to the guitar track so it caused a few issues. I’ll fix it in future videos!
Sunny Haair no worries. Nice video regardless!
😎👍🏻
I really like the voice level and his tone. It’s easy and calm listening. Not that hokey pokey spastic shit a lot of RUclipsrs go for!
Theoretically they sound the same
Hey man, I'm not trying to be a dick, but could you speak up in your videos? I tried watching this video in the shower at full blast and couldn't hear a word you were saying, but could hear the guitar load and clear. Even pressing buttons was louder than your voice. I tried listening in the car while working and got the volume up to where I could hear what you were saying, but then would just about go dead everytime you would play because you were so quiet compared to the guitar. Again, not being a dick. Just constructive criticism. Even processing a quiet voice could go a long way.
