Line 6 HX One

[HelpImaRock]

So this is bad.

HX One stopped sending an effected output in Insert Mode while I was using it. I run in mono with a distortion pedal in the loop, then use an appropriate effect either pre or post distortion. It will send a bypassed signal, but no effect. It does send an effected signal if I change to stereo. I'm running in buffered bypass and don't use stereo effects.

I put in a support ticket, so we'll see what happens.

So, I ended up getting another HX One. Been toying with the idea. I know, could have got a Stomp, but they are hard for me to work with. Wanted one HX One just for a preamp. And I had a gift card from Christmas and a coupon for a retailer which made it easy. Had I sold my HX One and then just got a Stomp it still would have cost more.
Going to set up a few versions of the Regal, BDDI, and Onsidian to use and then use the other HX One for drives and effects.

Tuner: You have to have the bypass mode for the HX One set to DSP in order for the tuner to function. Set to True Bypass, the tuner is not available. I tested the tuner against my Peterson strobe and the HX flickered me in-tune at 2 cents flat/sharp. That may be good enough, even though I would prefer to set the HX to True Bypass, but it will eliminate a pedal.

I don’t think this is correct. I can access the tuner in true bypass or DSP.

I had tuner inoperability and saw this release note, as well. Maybe it is situational?

Ha! We must be their target audience. I'm also considering purchasing a second One.

I end my chain in some stereo effect or a compressor now.
However, I like how, in Insert mode, I can virtually re-order inserted pedal(s) pre or post.
So...

Interesting. I used the tuner once to check it out and it was decently close to my Strobo. Pretty sure I was in TB. I’m going to try it both ways tomorrow and see how it goes. It may work better in DSP.

That Regal is what did it. I’m using it for a lot of songs and then don’t get to add something else I may want with it. Got a deal so it made sense. And I actually found some BDDI tones I like.

The Regal is MONEY. Loving it, both by itself and even more with some actual tube added (More, ETDI, etc.).

I run it through my Finally DI and it’s great.

Can you run parallel paths like you can with the HX Stomp? I wouldn't need to be able to turn on ans off certain effects, but if I could run parallel paths (say a dark glass clone on one side and am SVT sound on the other), I could always program two of these tone banks, one with an effect and one without

Presumably anyway. Can this be done? Could I get those wicked metal bass tones people get from the HX stomp?

"HX One" - One effect at a time, that's it. It doesn't even use the HX Edit software, just a Librarian software to manage the individual effects

Oh.... That's disappointing.

The HX One packs a lot of nice HX Effects and tech into a $300 package that fits nicely on a board and has simpler 9v power needs. The $600 Stomp would be the machine that fits your needs better. For my needs, to provide the occasional echo effect, shimmer reverb, chorus, flanger, tape saturation, whatever, it's a great solution and value. Combine it with a couple dedicated pedals and good to go on a small board.

Yea i guess that's pretty useful. Rather than buying a bunch of pedals.

Does HX one have Regal DI, 3.71 update?

 

[projectapollo]

Yes.

 

[ParksAndTech]

I've had it for a few days and the only down side so far is that it doesn't have the ability to save favorites. Currently having to flim-flam through menus is not ideal.

Do you mean favorites like in the HX Stomp? It saves presets and can save changes to each effect's default settings.

Here is my HX One. It has a permanent home on my Mono Lite+.
