[@metalliholic]

Awesome! Thanks for the overview

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

thanks for watching

[@jnh73]

My favorite from this vid is the Teemah. The EQ controls are what make it so versatile. If you can't get "it" using that pedal model then maybe you should give it a rest for a while. :) Also, I feel like a lot of HXFX users ignore the Legacy options, which is a shame. There are some really good options - like the Tube Drive - that don't get enough love.

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

I love the Tube Driver.

@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios best OD in the HX

[@jbognap]

Nice video. Do any of the drives pedals give you the Marshall In A Box sound for going into the front end of a clean amp?

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Yeah there are plenty of options. The OCD is actually really good for that.

[@xtemplarx]

Nicely done! Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Thanks for watching. Which ones do you like the best?

[@xtemplarx]

@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios to be honest, I haven't REALLY dug heavily into the HX Effects' drive pedals that much. HOWEVER, I do believe I'll be spending a lot more time with them after your vid. They seem more valuable than others would have you believe.

[@babagadoush1]

Very helpful

[@dryanbuchanan]

I love the hx effects but I’ve struggled with the drives. Maybe it’s all in my head. I’m probably overthinking them, while accepting the delays reverbs and mods as great.

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Its a killer unit for the price. I mainly use a Tube screamer to push my amp.

[@TheKevinldj]

Great job Doc. Any chance of showing us how to get some juicy lead tones, combining your favourite drive, delay and reverb pedals on the HX. 🙏

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Yeah that would be fun

[@leadheads5324]

Question can you turn them all at the same time like an analog pedal???

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

You have 3 knobs that control the parameters that you can only see 3 at a time. There are arrow keys that will bank over to see the next group of parameters.

[@2hi2dye]

I hope you're serious about how great this HX is and this isn't just a Line 6 plug for pay video. Cuz I'm about to pull the trigger on one...

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

I hope you are serious about sweet tone because ive been using the HX Effects for 4 years with great results. If you want to help support the channel then consider using my affiliate link in the description.

Teemah is amazing, but I'm always baffled by the quality of some Legacy effects. I ended up buying an M5 for my cheapo board.

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

If it sounds good it is good.

[@michaeltobin9142]

What would I being doing with my time if I didn’t have my HX Effects!?

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

dude its a great pedal for a great price. And Line 6 just keeps updating it.

[@MegaSkycap]

I'm trying to figure out what model in the HX Effects v3 has a Shredmaster feel and sound. Any thoughts? I've never played a Shredmaster so, I am only going by demos and Radiohead.

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Ive never played one myself. Looks pretty cool though.

[@AminaTabs]

The shredmaster intends to sound like a "Marshall in a box". Helix and many other multi effects don't emulate those kind of pedals. Instead of that, they emulate Marshall amps.

[@MegaSkycap]

@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios I was able to do a direct comparison and the tube driver can get pretty close.

[@MegaSkycap]

@@AminaTabs Correct. I was asking about the HX Effects unit which does not have amp or speaker emulation.
