    A few years ago, I probably would have gotten this. I have an HX Stomp and other than the power draw, which really isn't an issue, it's great. I like to make 'complex' effects. Just like a pitch and delay that go on and off together. I made a pretty good sitar-ish sound. Things like that. But I think this is a pretty killer pedal if you just need that sometimes effect. Or for inspiration to not have to tear your board apart.

    I think it's a fine product, but the pricing is a bit steep when you look at other helix products. With the stomp or above you've got all the snapshots per preset so you won't need this, and I think for the extra money, the stomp is a no-brainer given you get access to all the amps, cabs/IR's and the additional discount off Helix native.

He was very clear who this is aimed at, it's the people looking to replace two or three pedals with a compact enclosure. That market is probably huge and considering this is the price of one really good dedicated delay, tremolo or chorus pedal, the price makes sense too. I can see that even if this product doesn't appeal to me/us.

    I used to have a Zoom Multistomp before, which is the cheapest of this kind of multi-fx I think. I used it as a wildcard pedal, for the effect that I’d only use on one song in a set list (eg. Leslie Sim).
    The only con that one has is it degrade overall sound whether or not it’s engaged.
    I heard that they released a new multistomp already. I might check it out too.

    I like it, but only being able to use one effect at a time is too limiting for me. I’ll stick with a GT1000 core or HX Stomp on my board with my analog pedals. It’s still compact, has just as many effects, and you can have numerous effects on simultaneously.

    I retired my two M5s a while ago, just went another route 😁 Can't help feel that this is too complicated and expensive for me, and anyone with a Helix or similar will probably have too much overlap in functions. M5 still available at half the price and for occasional use makes more sense to me at least. Whatever, sounded great, it's just not for me 😃

    @joefisher5616 2 месяца назад

    I'm almost sold too. My one question is if you wanted to use this for different types of effects like modulation, pitch shifting and time-based effects, where would you put it in your signal chain? I like the idea of having another delay on my board, am in the market for a pitch shifter and would love the flexibility of dialing in some of the odd one-off modulation. But delay and pitch in particular should be on opposite ends of the chain.

      They touched on that lightly in the video. You can use four cable method and route certain effects to the front and others to the loop.

    • @thatasianguitarguy
      @thatasianguitarguy 2 месяца назад +1

      I just redid my board, and the guys who did it made the HX one do this exact thing cause I run my POG style effect at the front but modulation and stuff after my drives. The HX one can run each side of its own side independently as its own effects loop send and return so the way they did it is the 1st loop on my RJM is for the POG or overdrive that I would use on the HX one and the other side on the HX one is put in the last loop of my RJM and is set to turn on anytime I use time based or modulated effects.

      Or you can look at it from the point of view that most pedals cost around $200 or so just for one effect. At least with this you have many for the price of about two pedals (give or take.) Only thing about that is you can only use one effect at any given time which kinda sucks.

    Yes, you might want to keep most of your sound the same and only swap the one effect, but HX stomp presets allow you to do that too.

    This is interesting as a swiss-army knife but still not simple enough. I guess that's the Line6 style. Seems like whenever a company makes this type of pedal there are tons of menus or there is an app involved for loading new effects. Like at a gig are you going to scroll through a long menu from the rotary-speaker to the reverse delay past 100 presets? Or are you going to get your phone out on stage and use an app over Bluetooth or flash a tone print into the pedal? Dreaming here but make it dead simple with one switch and a clicky rotary dial, the player could load 6 presets beforehand and then between songs you just have to turn a dial to a different spot.

      ​@@beepoz fair point, although the X3 is still about one mini pedal bigger overall and a different orientation, two characteristics that may be of importance to some if the idea, as they point out, is to keep things super compact without ditching your favorite pedals, then use the HX for the odd one-off effect per song. Tiny differences sure, still often times a deciding factor in my humble experience.

    Cool product but they either need to lower the price by $100 or give it multiple blocks to line up with their other effects units. My guess is they’re testing the waters and will eventually do one or both of those things in the future.
