Line 6 HX Stomp Multi-Effects Guitar Pedal

The HX Stomp is an absolute game-changer! Despite its small size, it delivers studio-quality amp modeling and effects that rival much larger and more expensive units. The sound quality is phenomenal, with rich, dynamic tones that work perfectly for both live performances and recording sessions. The interface is intuitive, making it easy to tweak presets and customize tones, yet it offers deep editing options for those who want to fine-tune their sound. It integrates seamlessly into any setup, whether as a standalone unit, part of a pedalboard, or even as an audio interface. For anyone looking for professional-grade sound in a portable package, this is a must-have. Highly recommended! 🎸🔥

I am a bass player that picked up an HX Stomp in order to downsize my pedal board. I found myself in more and more situations where I was using effects. My pedal board kept growing and I had several units that I had bought for specific uses but hardly ever used. So I picked up an HX Stomp with the idea that it should cover just about anything I needed moving forward and would allow me to simplify and down size. For this purpose the HX Stomp has worked out great! One by one I was able to find a suitable (sometimes better) HX Stomp replacement for each of my pedals. Now I'm down to just three pedals, an EHX Freeze (no replacement for this on the HX), a Source Audio C4 Synth and the HX Stomp. I am able to use the HX Stomp for effects, amp modelling and a DI directly to FOH (I rarely have a gig anymore where I need an amp) and it sounds absolutely great! It is a rock solid piece of gear and is not glitchy at all. The only negative things I can say about it is the learning curve can be a little steep and it takes a while to really dial in the sounds you want, but I still think Line6 did a decent job with the interface considering all the features, options and versatility this device has, and the HX Edit software makes it a good bit easier once you get used to it.

More powerful than the bigger multi-effects pedal in an ultra-compact size. A great addition for your pedal board. The overdrive effects are not great, so I added my own OD-1 pedal to it. I'll probably be adding a good compressor later too. But other than that, this machine is a monster.

Great Pedal, amazing how much you can do with it. I bought it fto use it with my bass guitar

There are many, many hours of video reviews on YouTube and around the web on this mighty multi-effect unit. I will keep my review brief: if you are thinking about this, it is a wonderful piece of equipment. I got this for a few reasons: 1. I gig both bass and electric guitar (bass more commonly), and this device has effects and amp models for both. 2. I live in an apartment where you can hear people having conversations through the walls if you are quiet enough, and I wanted to a courteous neighbor. 3. Kids are on the horizon, so my days of cranking tube amps are numbered. I expected that I would like this. I did not expect to like it as much as I do. It does what you hope any piece of gear you pick up will do— it inspires me to play. I’ve been practicing a lot more and having a lot of fun playing with new effects. A few small caveats: 1. I have 3 pairs of nice headphones to play through. If you don’t have good IEM’s or studio-style headphones, I would consider that an essential if you are going this route AND using the HX Stomp as your amp. 2. The unit interface is easy enough to learn after some time. I can throw together a preset and be up and running to play in minutes now. Like any new gear there is a learning curve. The HX Edit software is similarly easy to learn, but I think easier to use, especially for assigning switches, than the UI in the Stomp itself. Bottom line: this thing is incredible. The effects are great and the amp models have obviously been meticulously created. I strongly recommend one for those looking at an affordable amp modeling/multi-effect solution

Great product. A little noisy due to the power supply. I highly recommend a isolated PSU. Tones and customization are out of this world. Easy to get lost in the soundscape for hours. Ufortunately couldn't keep due to dog being in the ER. Seller was understanding and offered to accept the package back a week or two outside the return window. Returning it was super easy. Bring the product to a UPS location (for me a convenient store on the corner) and they will put the label on for you. I will say the store was pretty rough with the package but none the less I trust line 6's packaging.

I am surprised by how much I like the Stomp for bass! I have a great pedalboard with highly-regarded pedals including a Cali76 compressor and a SansAmp BDDI. I certainly won’t claim that the Stomp is better than the individual pedals, but it’s close enough that its size and flexibility win the day. I am currently using it as an all-in-one replacement for my pedalboard. The tuner (works well!) and the ability to use it as a practice amp with aux/in and headphones is frosting on the cake, as they say.

Once you learn how to use this thing, the sky is the limit. I recommend downloading some presets and ir's. You'll want a good starting point and the stock presets aren't the greatest in my opinion. Definitely experiment with some third party IR's but don't overlook the included cabs and microphones. Many many tones can be made from those alone. Then you have all the amp sims plus the amp/cab combos.... I've found the built in cabs are actually really good. Mostly because of all the different mics you can choose from for each cab. Literally any guitar tone you can think of, you can sculpt it on this thing. The effects, reverbs and delays are plentiful and great sounding. The wahs, whammy and pitch shifters are a lot of fun too if you get an optional expression pedal. (I recommend the M-audio expression pedal. It works good and its cheap) I can't say how it sounds plugged into an amp as a "multi effects" unit because I use amp modeling and run direct into either, a powered studio monitor, headphones, or a 12" Headrush frfr speaker. I would assume the hx stomp would make a great multi effect unit for an amp setup based on the functionality and quality of the effects. It's built like a tank and has mind blowing power for something so small. It's worth it's price absolutely. Support is top notch. No cons. Only positives. *if you're looking for a desktop stand for the hx stomp, a small bookstand works great. You can see how I use it in my pictures.
