I'm starting out with the HX Stomp XL, which I've been loving so far apart from difficulties to get hot distortion effects, but I've hit a glitch. Every now and then the audio coming out of the pedal distorts and cuts out and then cuts back in while playing, almost like there's a bad connection in there. But it's intermittent, and it's definitely the pedal. I tore out all my cables, checked the violins and speaker, and all of those are fine. If I can't resolve this then the pedal is a brick, as I exclusively play live. Oh yes, this happens even when all the effects on the line are turned off. And also on an empty preset. The guy in the music shop is currently trying it with guitars to try to replicate the problem I demonstrated in the shop, but to no avail. He seems to think it might be an impedance issue. This would be odd as it misbehaves with both my violins. I'm presuming yours is an active pickup? Mine are: Merlin 5 string (like a Zeta but actually sounds like a real violin) - active pickups Violectra 5 string - passive pickups. I primarily bought it for the Violectra, but I can't progress - or buy your presets!! - until this is resolved. Do you have any ideas? Does this happen with other pedals?
Line6's customer service is amazing. Go to their website and open a support ticket. In my experience, they have been more than fair in covering their products when something goes wrong.
Great sounding patches and video. Thanks! I'd add Boss GX-100 to your list of gear, by the way. I use HX Stomp in an SY-1000 effects loop. If you create more FX loop patches for HX FX, they would be appreciated.
So I make these patches for me to use. I don’t have an HX FX, so… You can probably use the 10 or so patches that will work on the FX as a jumping off point.
@MattBellViolinist is there any chance you can create some presets for POD GO as a special individual order for pay? It would be so great!!! And maybe we can talk by mail, if it's comfortable for you. Thank you in advance, Millenium Band team from Moldova/Romania
Hey Matt, if we are still saving up for a Helix... and we have a line6 pod go... would you be willing to sell presets for that?? 😍 (Playing a MarkWood 5-string Stingray pro)
Hi Matt, I have the Line6 HX Stomp and the current software is 3.7. I would "assume" your patches would still be compatible, yes? Also have you added any additional patches over the last year? Thanks
Hi Matt. How do these presets sound with other electric string instruments? I'm currently playing an NS Designs electric upright bass and working on trying to get a wider variety of sounds from it and my Helix. Thanks very much.
Hi Matt. I'll ask here as it isn't covered in the video. You say these patches are for helix or hx. Does this by any chance mean I can run these on my hx effects unit? I'm badly in need of starting again from scratch since the 3.5 update and this would be a good place to begin...
I need this man in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey there Matt! The patches sound insaaaane! I have a Helix Hx Fx, how many of these patches would work?
All of them except the distortion ones.
By the way, i picked up a Boss ME 90 and it is fantastic with electric violin...and the price is incredible!!!!

@@MattBellViolinist understood, and they have been very helpful.
Hi! Are these awesome 16 presets also available for Line 6 POD GO series?
Unfortunately, no. I don't own a PodGo, so I don't have the ability to make them.

Shoot me an email at info@mattbellviolinist.com
*I like this but I should probably wear headphones to listen to these to really capture the depth and full range of these effects*
Hy friend, how I can buy this patches? Thanks

It's on my list of things to do. It's just not at the top. lol!
I guess if I ever find myself in Raleigh, I’ll have to stop by
Hi may I know if the patches work for Yamaha Helix HX multi effect pedal?
There are two HX pedals: the HX Stomp and the HX FX.
With the Stomp, they work great. With the HX FX, all of then except the distortion patches work.
Hi my effects only state Yamaha Line 6 HX effects not HX FX effects . Will your patch work?
@@semikim6451All of them except the distortion patches.
Can these patches be used on a Stomp XL?
Yes!
Will it work on line 6 HX one ?
No
Careful, the devil might beat Johnny and get his golden fiddle back.
Thank you for sharing this! I'm deciding on which helix buy for my Viper. Does all the presets that you sell works on the HX Stomp?
Yes
Do you build IRs into these presets?
It’s discussed in the video. But the answer is that a few of them do. Others don’t.
Hi Matt, I have the Line6 HX Stomp and the current software is 3.7. I would "assume" your patches would still be compatible, yes? Also have you added any additional patches over the last year? Thanks
Yup. These patches will work with 3.7. I haven't added any patches to the collection in the last year. Probably will on the next update, though.
Thank You@@MattBellViolinist
Hi Matt. How do these presets sound with other electric string instruments? I'm currently playing an NS Designs electric upright bass and working on trying to get a wider variety of sounds from it and my Helix. Thanks very much.
Can't say I've ever tried them with a bass. They were definitely built with violin/viola/cello in mind.
Do they work with the pod go?
No. I've been meaning to pick up a PodGo and translate these over. I just haven't had time.
I've just picked up a Pod Go and would also be interested in some fiddle presets for it . . . . @@MattBellViolinist
Makes me wish I played a fiddle!!
It's never too late to learn.

You can run all of the ones except the distortion ones. They use amp models that the HX FX doesn’t have.
Hi Matt that's incredible! Can it works also with pod go?
Unfortunately, no. Just the Helix, HX Stomp, and (partly) the HX FX.
If I want to buy the presets it's only with hx eddit , because my computer blocks this (windows 10)
@@אחיהרוזנפלד-ד7נ most of them work with HX edit. Just not the distortion ones.
Hey Matt, I have a question for this: Can I use these presets on Helix Native?
Yes! In fact, that’s how I recorded this (and both my albums)
