This was very helpful. You literally would answer every question as I was thinking if it.

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

that's awesome!

First time ever I stopped a vid less than a minute in to comment... tape measure lesson followed by tape measure move, hilarious! I made my living with one for 12 years.

[@dustinsaunders2479]

This was exactly what I needed! One question: going out of the HX into the PA what do you do? How do you maintain the stereo image?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

We have a stereo set up at our church building so I just go out the left and right with 2 cables into the 2 direct boxes. And then they can decide how much width is necessary for the FOH and I can have glorious stereo in my in-ears!

[@onlyusernameleft2]

the TRS splitter cable I use isn't labelled like yours on the TS ends but they're color coded the same as RCA cables. TRS out polarity can reversed in global settings if the Stomp, the cable, and the outboard gear have a disagreement. You can use those cables to add effects to recorded tracks, or channels in a live setting. If you have a mixing board and there are jacks labelled "insert," those send and return signal using the TRS end. Check your mixer's manual for the insert polarity and connect to the appropriate input/output on your effect processor (and make sure it's set to send and receive line level signal). I've used a Boss GT-1 multieffects unit but the Stomp would work too; just keep in mind with the Stomp, the effects you're working with are mostly models of irl effects units designed for guitar and bass.

[@adityabali1939]

Great video. I have a Boss GT1000 core which I use as my main modeller, and an HX Stomp that I recently acquired just to use it in the stereo FX loop of the GT1K core. WhenI enable the FX loop in the the GT1K core, turn on a reverb in the HX stomp and send it to the core the mix/effect level in the output of the reverb is very less. The tone from the GT1K core does not reduce in volume, but the amount of reverb being sent to GT1K is so less that it might as well not be on. I have tried other effects such as a drive, fuzz but same results. The signal coming from the stomp is too less. I maxed the global master volume dial in front of the stomp, changed patch levels, mix and levels of the individual effects. I think I am doing something wrong in the send return or global settings. Also noticed that you can choose to accept either line level or instrument level signal from input. Can someone help me out with this please?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

If you could send me a video of what's happening to [e-mail] I could try to help!

Thanks for this video man, i was almost pulling my hair out because of this volume loss using the send/return. When you mention this, thank god it’s not just me and then…daaaa…of course, that’s why they put a volume there 🤣🤣🤣 Best wishes from Brazil! God bless you!!!

Please help!! I have 2 stereo pedals a reverb and delay, I also have a mono delay how many TRS cables will I need to keep the stereo image .. love your channel

[@jazzcat1056]

Wondering the same thing!!!

[@JonathanPaek]

might be a silly question.... but in this setup, is using the tuner on the HX Stomp viable? I'm going through the pros/cons in my head, and my only concern would be a popping noise whenever I engage the tuner.

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

I've never heard a popping noise when engaging the tuner

[@CalebSchmidt-h5p]

hey, do you think you could use Line 6 FBV Express MKII with mainstage to create worship patches?

[@nathanchristopherson9557]

great tutorial! thanks for this!

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kellymckenzie4865]

Does the stereo send actually auto sum or are you just going to lose half of the stereo effects in the stomp?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

The stereo send retains the stereo image. If you only use one side, it's supposed to sum to mono, not lose half your signal...same is true on the out puts

[@TimBeauBennett]

Metric is so much better than imperial/US customary

[@HubLocationSound]

TIP is Left / RING is Right

[@20weststudio]

Thanks for this vid! Made me subscribe. I recently purchased a Helix and sent it back because I couldn't get any good overdrive tones. The amps, verbs and delays sounded great. But every time I headed in to overdrive, it sounded fizzy & buzzy to my ear. I'm thinking of going this route with an HX and pedals. I assume in this small rig, you would use the tuner on the HX. Also, would you recommend a compressor in the front? Thanks!

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Welcome! yes, I use the tuner on the HX itself most of the time because I also like the tap tempo...but sometimes would rather have the 3rd FS. The comp on my board is the decos fx Comp IQ: becosfx.com/product/compiq-mini-pro-compressor-pedal-for-guitar-bass/#description

[@20weststudio]

@@HeyWorshipLeader Thanks!

[@erickdiaz6152]

Can you turn off the effects loop block? And by doing so, do the external pedals signal automatically run into the front of the HX Stomp?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

sorry, no

[@jonathanalvarado2657]

I just got the hx stomp, if I'm just running mono to front of house, would I just plug in my overdrive's and other reverb pedal to the input of the hx stomp and output would be going to DI box?

[@SavingSouthAfrica]

Instead of fractions you could just use millimetres and centimetres like the rest us😭

[@coltoncarling9344]

No

[@mikemattingly5825]

I'm American, and completely agree.

[@changeforgood100]

If you want to use a compressor on the hx stomp can you just use the same set up but put the overdrive pedals after??

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

some people like a comp after an overdrive,,not my favorite in this use case...but if you want to use the internal comp, you'd have to put the drive in the fx loop..but then you'd miss any wet effects...unless you put them all in there and just run wet effects into the your amp...just remember that you'll lose the stereo imagine unless you run stereo amps

[@changeforgood100]

@@HeyWorshipLeader Thanks very much sir. Really appreciated.

[@BkBk-gy6vr]

I get putting drives before the HX Stomp but where would you put amp in a box type pedals such as the UAFX Lion or Tonex. Would you put them before the HX or in the FX loop?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

No wrong answer here...It depends on where you want your wet effects. There are 3 simple options 1) run comp, drives, and AMP Box all before the HX Stomp and use HX stomp for only wet effects or whatever else you'd want after your amp 2) put the Amp Box in the FX loop so you can move it wherever you want 3) run everything into the AMP box, putting the am after the HX stomp

[@Liam-de1ky]

I was hoping to get a digitech drop pedal for my birthday and I was wondering if it would work with the hx stomp as I bought a vox wah pedal and was disappointed to find out it was incompatible

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

how was it incompatible? You could run it in front of the HX Stomp and it would work, right?

[@Gene.-]

Hey just saw your comment, I'm running a Drop and Whammy (not Whammy DT, each one seperate) in front of my HX Stomp and it works flawlessly. It goes straight into the Stomps Input so it gets the clean signal tuned down. Only thing I noticed is that something is adding noise. Not sure if it's the whammy or the drop or even the Stomp, I couldn't figure that one out yet sadly.

[@moments_with_IH]

I'm setting up a build revolving the hx stomp. But if I only had to choose 1, would it be best to use external drives vs. External reverbs vs. External delays? Does the hx stomp have good drives, or is their delays and reverbs better?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

I will say at the front...I don't think you can make a wrong decision. If you don't already have a 'must-have' drive, I'd say go with an external reverb. The HX Reverbs are getting way better but not as high end as some of these others ones. Te drives in the Stomp are great and so are the delays. But then again...the reverbs are great too....the differences you hear are going to only be for you....because no one will be able to tell in a live context...that's how good everything has gotten

[@KLRCAT]

Since there are 2 returns, could you have 2 separate FX loops? In my situation I have an RC-30 looper that I want to send to, as well as an MXR Carbon Copy that I want to add into the chain. Is there a way of me sending the Left side of the Send/Return to the RC-30, while sending the right side of the Send/Return to the MXR Carbon Copy? That way I can add the MXR into the chain on the HX stomp, while also utilising the RC-30 looper.

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Yes you can do two mono loops. Still need to come out with a stereo split why cable and go to your two different petals and come back with a single patch cable back into each return

[@KLRCAT]

@@HeyWorshipLeader thanks 😊 that's super helpful

[@jazzcat1056]

What if I want 2 pedals in the FX Loop?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Just put them in series and it works the same!

Where are the links? I can’t seem to find them

[@SesVeriyorum]

Hello, I think it is the clearest video on youtube, thank you very much. I will also talk to you about something. I only use the Hx stomp as an amp and cabinet. I have a single pedal (source audio Collider) for reverb and delay on my pedalboard. It has 2 inputs and outputs. I want to use it in stereo like you did in the video. Accordingly, in which slot should I put the fx loop block? Do you have any advice on this subject or in general?

[@emanuelebaldelli6395]

Is it possible to run analog overdrive and distortion into a valve amp, and have the hx stomp cover delay and reverb in fx loop?

[@bobbywaldschmidt6825]

Man that’s awesome stuff!! Can you use POD GO with a Jet Lamb and Revelation?

Thanks man...yes you can!

[@bobbywaldschmidt6825]

@@HeyWorshipLeader Is it more practical to use the HX Stomp instead?

[@andrewjones_fitness]

how would I connect two stereo pedals to the stomp though? do i need 2 of these special cables?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

No, you wouldn’t need two of the cables you would just need one to come out of the HX stop because it’s a single stereo jack. From there, you just use regular (left and right) patch cables all the way back into the return of the stomp.

[@andrewjones_fitness]

Hey Jimmy. Just curious, I have an overdrive that is not midi. Can I use the foot switch 4/5 to add in an overdrive and have the stomp control it?

[@reginaldpharaud8999]

How do you dial in your tones on the jet pedals lamb with your stomp? I've been trying and can't seem to get a tone that doesn't sound garbled.

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

I like putting the tone up higher than normal. And also bringing the gain down (further than I did in this video) and boosting the volume. I feel like that is a sweet spot...it also depends on how the amp is set up for sure...maybe I should do a quick video about that!

[@reginaldpharaud8999]

@@HeyWorshipLeader Please do! I was sold on what this pedal could do especially via Midi but because I can't seem to tame it, I'm on the verge of selling. Help get me off the ledge! Haha.

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Hey...I wanted to correct myself. On the Lamb, the volume needs to be lower for more high end to come through....I'll def make a video but wanted to update my response here!

[@abimaelmartell]

I've noticed the tone suck on the Fx Loops of the Stomp, now i just run my reverb after the HX Stomp and it sounds way better

[@gilguajardo7808]

Man, I was excited when he mentioned moving the fx loop around, but of course he didn’t get the same issue I get, i.e., my delays and reverbs sound VERY different when placed ANYWHERE after the amp block. WTH… as I’m writing this, he’s saying his shimmer is brighter after the amp, and it is! Mine is the opposite, i.e., delay repeats become lofi when placed after the amp block. Ugh. So annoying, since I have to use 2 amp blocks in order to keep stereo delay/reverb (fx loop) when placed before the amp block. Btw, to keep things consistent, I can even set the fx loop to mono and move that block before and after the amp block. Difference in tone when after is obvious and not good.

[@SethDStanley]

@@gilguajardo7808 You have to run pedals at different settings after vs before an amp simply because the amp drastically shapes the tone and messes with the mix level of the fx as well. Have you tried running them after the amp and then adjusting the pedal settings a bunch? It's likely you're used to the sound of fx into an amp. Although I wonder if there's an actual problem with your Stomp. And are you running the global settings line out or instrument out for the fx loop?

[@gilguajardo7808]

@@SethDStanley I’ve heard people mention the same, but it doesn’t make sense to me. Especially since I can put my reverb after the HX Stomp, and it sounds fine. If it sounds different than running the reverb before the Stomp, I didn’t notice the difference. So, why should it sound SO different (in a bad way) when I place the same reverb before or after the amp block from within the Stomp’s FX loop? It shouldn’t. Yes, everything is set to line level and unity gain.

[@mitchellpowers6510]

Can you purchase that split cable anywhere??

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

[@davidthaot]

if I have a delay pedal how should I connect to the hx stomp? Through the fx loop or infront of the stomp input?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

I would go thru the fx loop just like the reverb in this video

[@vladimirzuz]

Thank you for the video. Please tell me how to specify only the final amplifier in the effects chain (if I connect the preamp to the stomp) I can’t find one, how to create the chain correctly then? If you put just AMP, then you get one preamp + the second ... will this give unnecessary distortion / noise?

[@Gunnar2070]

Do you run two cables on left and right output to stereo di to get fx to stay in stereo, or can you still get stereo with mono output?

[@denirun]

Does CIOKS enough to power all 3 pedals? Can’t understand HX using 3A, 1 slot gives 660mA… how it works 😮?

[@vvcv__00]

ah man, I wish you showed us how to connect it all to an amps fx loop.

[@sanderdragsund7373]

Hi! In my fx loop I have some overdrive and distortion that goes into my delay, which then goes out in stereo. But the problem is that I cant seem to get any stereo in doing it this way. Do you have anything to help with this? Thank you!

[@onepro1234]

Greetings Jimmy thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight, your videos have helped me tremendously. I am thinking about using the HX Stomp on a pedal board with Strymon big sky and delay. Do you think these pedals would be compatible running them together, and does it make difference in tone running them in mono with a mono amplifier.

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Thanks man...I think any effect will sound better in stereo when listening through headphones...for I've use, mono is great. No problem at all...also, some people have noted that they have had problems with strymon stuff in the FX loop of the Stomp...I tried it the other day with my friends sermon pedals, and it worked flawlessly

use the fx loop to have the morning glory and superbolt, that way you do hx stomp compressor, FX loop (contains external drives), then stomp amps
