I was WRONG About the HX Stomp XL - Here's Why I Changed My Mind

The first time the HX Stomp XL was announced, I was pretty underwhelmed and slightly disappointed that it didn't have more DSP than the HX Stomp. Over time though, I've warmed to it, and after gigging it for the Summer wedding season, I now think this is the perfect halfway house between the HX Stomp and Helix - same processing power as the HX Stomp, but with the added functionality of things like a Morningstar (but without the difficulty of programming!)
The preset I'm using here will be added to the folder "Mom35Freeze" and will be added to the Expression Folder if some of you request it below?
Please leave a comment if you find this type of preset build useful, so that I know to keep making them!

Very happy with my pod go as a more intermediate, upgrading from a bedroom guitarist to a church guitarist. All I really need for the next few years. Your pod go content helped a lot!

[@1jennifer]

Exp folder please!! Wow, for me at least, that quick 6 button looper itself is worth the extra money...

[@noternunstoned]

I have the Helix rack and the HX stomp, the xl was obviously marketed to the "momma bear" market and it begs the question, "how many versions of the same porridge do we need?" The stomp makes more sense because you can always take along an expression pedal, midi mouse and a dual switchbox along if you need more controls.

[@BRAG450]

Don’t know if it’s placebo effect or the new cabs but all the helix stuff and stomp stuff you’ve been doing recently sounds great on my headphones. This one especially for some reason. There was some deep bass notes and clear highs.

[@jaymax3201]

If I use it on stage, the XL will be more convenient.At first, I was thinking of buying a Pod GO, but the HX Stomp's small size and function is the best for me.Of course I know the limits of DSP.Palm size is the best for me.I am confident that I made the best choice thanks to you.

[@mikejones-hs7od]

Great video thank you. I don’t gig but jam with friends. Seems like the looper functions of XL are quite a bit more useable. Which, if so, would be useful to me.

[@shitmandood]

Looks pretty good! The price isn't bad either. I can't believe someone took a header on your XL. You might want to get some foam pads around the edges, in case it happens again.

[@JaffaRoad]

I would love to try the patches you used in the opening jam How does one get access to it I really enjoyed how the reverse delay was set up to interact with your playing….

[@digitalsketchguy7844]

Hoping you might do a HX Stomp VS Tonex video in the future.

[@Johnny-oy9fh]

Love mine...still learning how it works...lol

[@otfan522botjournalismisdea2]

I still think the XL needs 50% more DSP and a few more blocks. If it had that i would buy one in an instant

[@JB-yk5ic]

Love the freeze presets! Really enjoying your channel too. I bought an HX stomp XL (just before the new offer of free Native etc - aaargh...) it looks like it will do all I need for gigging - so no more pedal board to lug about - and hopefully more reliability, though the PSU is maybe a bit vulnerable to mishaps, will have to think about that. For me, the age of the DSP is irrelevant - it sounds really good and has more options than I'll ever need. I can use other gear in the studio as required.

[@saltstream]

Great video John. listening to your glitchy loops got me thinking.... Can the HX Stomp do Microcosm Hologram? Now that would be a fantastic thing to see!

[@shitmandood]

I wouldn't think it can't. I have a Microcosm and I can't even understand what it's doing half the time.

[@christopherjbutler]

"It was at a wedding, it wasn't anything weird.." LOL. love your videos fo SO many reasons

[@pfmusic1636]

I think it’s about being the all in one mini helix. I use a boss MS3 as my pedal board “brain,” this would be a fantastic upgrade but I bought a helix lt a year before this came out. Oh well

[@BenBreard]

I've enjoyed the stomp XL. It's what finally replaced my old M9.

[@JT-jw4fv]

it'd been nice if XL was given at least 1 more block .. I'd trade 2 buttons for 1 more block

[@loopie007]

It looks like I know what's on the Christmas list.

[@stevieknighten]

I have an XL as a backup for my FM9 but I'd much rather have an HXFX with amp modeling in it.

[@MOAB-UT]

I sold my FM9 and want something smaller and decent. Should I get a HXFX? Do I need anything else or is it like a Stomp? Is it better than LT, PodGO, Stomp? Budget is open- up to a 1,000 works. Will probably replace my FM9 when Cliff decides to bring the UI into the 21st century. The tones were, as you know amazing. Would really like a unit with stereo reverbs like the FM9 has. My patches don't have to be too DSP intensive but do like great tones.

[@michelfiliatrault9546]

Super video great playing - please add preset to expression folder -Thanks

[@dividedbytimestudios]

Let’s get a HX Stomp Turbo……. Add Scribble Strips and more DSP 🥹🤪👍🏽👍🏽

[@hirpisorani9600]

Hi John, I really love your videos. Do you have any video when do you explain how do you record your guitar? Or maybe a gear list or sonething like that. Thank you and many love from Italy.

[@samseitz9937]

He does have a few videos up about how he makes KZbin videos

[@hirpisorani9600]

@@samseitz9937 thank you. I was wondering if his chain is guitar>helix>interface or he uses something else.

[@death-vw8zy]

I was wondering what would you recommend to somebody that is just thinking about getting into modeling

[@tommywallberg]

Have you Decked Tremolo Bridges?

[@javierrosarioguitar]

Are the distortions better sounding on the HX Stomp XL vs. the POD Go?

[@johnnathancordy]

Exactly the same algorithms

[@Bobby_Digital37]

I wish line 6 just made the Stomp xl look like a HX Effects with a bigger screen instead of this hideous monstrosity 😂. I love the firm factor of the hx effects

[@requietus]

long time wanted to ask, what's your take on TQ's Solo app ?

[@johnnathancordy]

Not just TQ - it's also my good buddy David Beebee's! I think it's a great idea - I should use it more often tbh!

[@jithinjohn8162]

Hey John, I really like your videos and your playing man! Rn I have a pod hd500x I'm trying to upgrade to a helix product. I'm kinda confused which one to buy tho, shall i go for the LT or stomp xl. Is the LT too big to carry in your suitcase if you're flying? Or shall i just take the xl like is the LT necessary?

[@johnnathancordy]

Hey Jithin! I'd take a look at the dimensions - the LT is about the same size as the Floor, and weighs quite a bit so I'd think probably for most folks it might be a bit too big for a flyrig?

[@jithinjohn8162]

@@johnnathancordy Thanks for the reply man! Yeah I'll probably stick with hx stomp xl

[@pogoism1]

But do you generally prefer the normal one plus 2 pedals or so or the xl?

[@caseykittel]

Why doesn’t it have a volume knob like the smaller one? Does it have all of the amp and cab stuff?

[@KevisaVivose]

It's basically the HX Stomp with some added footswitches.

[@caseykittel]

@@KevisaVivoseyep. the volume knob is on the back!

[@rijadhabibovic8202]

Thank you for everyrhing. Could you please tell me what power supply can I buy because I've got the standard one that comes with hxXL or you can post a link? Sorry for my bad english.

[@johnnathancordy]

Hey Rijad! Sorry I only use the power supply that comes with it!

[@shredacuda]

​@@johnnathancordydo you run it to FOH and an fr? How would you do it?

Please put in folder. Thank You
