Line 6 HX ONE - This pedal does everything

[@Carson_Berry]

I’m surprised by all the people disappointed by this thing. I think people are looking at it compared to the stomp when they should be seeing it as the new M5. I can’t wait to try one of these out!

[@worshiptutorials]

I agree. It seems a lot of people want this to do what the HX Stomp, or even HX Effects does. Which is really cool, because those products exist!

[@二加二]

A pitch pedal and multieffects, with only 1 effect at a time for the price of 300. I think is quite overprice, the price of pod go is 500 and you get so much more.

[@plutoniumzeppelin8164]

Seriously, I’d even be happy with just 2 effects at a time… So disappointing

[@bmitchellmusic]

A Pod Go is massive in comparison. This is not much bigger than a Boss pedal. You are looking at it like $300 is a lot for one effect (we can pretend like Strymon's don't exist for this convo but I meeeeeannnn...) when in reality you are getting access to over 260 effects for $300. Pretty sweet action there to me.

[@joenally9953]

Pod go in an all in one, this is not

[@BJamin4God]

It’s priced better than other things in the market. It’s cheaper than a Blue Sky, Dig, Flint etc, and is more than just one effect type. It’s only a few bucks more than the new cheaper Strymon pedals. It’s way cheaper than an H9.

[@Basehorsk8er]

I mean I get it. For someone with an hx stomp it’s hard to justify the price tag. But for someone with no hx effects at all, it makes a lot more sense. Lots of really high quality effects for the same price as other pedals.

[@sundaytone]

Whoa the flux stuff is super cool. Definitely hope they include that on other products in the future.

[@iamtorrego]

A simple update should be enough for the rest of the HX to have it, so let see if Line 6 does it.

[@raym5767]

The great thing about pedals like this and the M5 is that they cover loose ends on your pedalboard. Great for effects you may use once in a while. I know people will complain about the price, but you can easily spend as much or more on just one effect. I this and the M5 are made for that, and musicians who a more straight forward pedal. M5 is probably more in my budget, but nice to have this as a option also.

[@ac8704]

I guess its just hard for me to see why I would go with this over the HX Stomp. Its just so much more value. An entire guitar rig, plus audio interface. I also love the retro reel :) I use it on almost every preset

[@jonsee4164]

Half the price, half the power draw, half the footprint.

[@attrition0]

@@jonsee4164 This would be fair if could run half the blocks (4) of an hx stomp. Even if it was just able to do amp+cab + one pre/post effect.

[@Birdflu278]

Because some of us don’t like HX Stomp. If I want to dial up an effect quickly, I don’t want to wade through the menus of that little monster.

[@cnpett]

Could be used in addition to a stomp. For all of the unique effects or DSP heavy effects. It has midi capabilities so if you build presets on a stomp you could tell it to be something different for each preset. Just an added layer of versatility. I have the Stomp XL and I could see a use for this being a pitch, poly capo, second delay/reverb, etc.

[@telee19]

This is not meant for hx stomp users at all. It certainly works as a one off pedal for someone running a non amp modeling rig.

[@jimmyhicks3655]

[@二加二]

Does it have a seamless or gapless preset switching? Does it have a trails function when switching presets or bypass?

[@beukems]

With a midi switcher (PBC) you can use this pedal as a place for unique effects on a song by song basis… helpful for those songs you could benefit from that “one unique pedal” that you don’t always need on the board

[@koski666]

Recently got one at a great discount, and it is becoming my special toolbox on my pedalboard. I bought to cover mainly different pitch effects presets, but I plan o wire it pre/post to make it even more efficiant. Might sounds expensive at $400CAD, but if you get a discount or find one used, it is totaly worth it.

[@TLWishere]

[@Javerrari]

Where would you guys recommend putting it in your signal chain? If you want to take advantage of the poly capo feature and octaves, but still want to utilize stereo functionality. Not sure where it was in chain during video? Thanks!

[@thorpenator9148]

I would put it before gain pedals, after compression.

[@nexgenalmacen]

It looks like an update/replacement to the - Line 6 M5 Stompbox Modeler

[@SethDStanley]

That flux ramping option is awesome! And all it takes to add to current hardware is a firmware update. Imagine 3.7 being able to flux between snapshots! That's probably too DSP heavy, but still, being able to assign knobs on your Helix to flux between two reverb settings rather than jumping so you don't get that weird decay drop...that could be huge!

[@theambientsojournband1530]

it works amazing with my tonex and analog pedals

[@LAMBERTONES]

All the hate makes me love it more! This thing is awesome and like you said, the Swiss Army knife for a medium rig. The flux parameter is worth it alone.

[@seancca]

It is so funny to me the folks complaining about it. Especially the folks saying buy another stomp if you want this. Like people that is near 2A of power needed. You are then having to buy a whole extra power supply or use the crappy wall plug for them! Not to mention we have people like Eventide and Strymon making single algorithm pedals that cost nearly as much, or the same. If I was doing a pedalboard and had a switcher that had programable loop order I would be going to town with placement on this thing. New patch now this is your reverb or delay, another path, now this is the poly capo at the front all with a single button press.

[@mikeb9790]

Is there a way to have an effects chain--say reverb/delay/chorus with a single button push----kind of like the Zoom Multi Stomp 50G+?

[@bobbywaldschmidt6825]

If I was to put this on my pedal board to use it at delay, or tremolo or even the looper will it quiet down my chain? I heard it had gates in it that may damper the sound?

[@matthewtabbytosavit4805]

Bradford does this have a editor to dial sounds or is it just a updater and preset mover?

[@MrJingles021]

Do you know if you can adjust the waveform on the tremolo? I'd love to get one of these, but I'd want to be able to use an amplitude (volume, not harmonic) tremolo with a square waveform.

Unless you could control it with a midi pedal like a pod hd 500x. I’d like to know how you can organize this. I have in my studio a sound module for a midi keyboard. It’s loaded with great sounds, I could only ever use this in my studio.

[@Brownpatterson]

@worshiptutorials Do you think this could be worth it for an acoustic player?

[@Brownpatterson]

@Worship tutorials

[@Rrouthmusic]

I could see this being very useful if you have a looper with reorder-able loops like with the GigRig G3.

[@seancca]

Yeah I thought of that exactly, send midi to change the effect and reorder the loop to place it wherever. Could kinda do that with like the helix or stomp and use the loop block but that would be more of a patch by patch thing with the g3 you can do the loop reordering for any of the switches, granted that might get into overkill territory! haha

[@MLaci]

[@worshiptutorials]

Indeed...

[@FastRedPonyCar]

2 switches and only being able to toggle one single effect at a time was a big miss IMO not giving us the option to configure it to toggle 2 separate effects.

[@ultimatebombero]

For a second I thought this was a standalone amp sim with all of the HX amps and cabs, for which I would gladly replace my Iridium and ACS for

[@SethDStanley]

Huge missed opportunity! Unless of course that would take away from HX Stomp sales. To be honest, the Stomp isn't that much bigger than the Iridium, but does SO much more. This may hit a better market niche of the studio guys who want to be able to access ANY effect in a studio session without a spaceship pedalboard.

[@ShaneStoneOfficial]

Can you choose the color of the LED lights? Or are they already preset?

[@worshiptutorials]

Good question! Not 100% sure off hand but you can adjust on the Helix so I’d imagine so!

[@chrisdercabc]

I think this can have several approaches to use, due to the number of effects it includes, gain, delay, modulations, filters, reverbs and even compressors and equalizers, all for guitars, basses, keyboards, etc. In a studio, where many times you record each effect line independently and you have this HX One where you configure and record, this also for recordings or productions, or simple layout at home or on the road. For live, it can be a total replacement for those that use a "Delay DL4" and "M5" together (I have them and I think I will proceed to sell them and get the "HX One" that has more effects in a larger size. reduced), just adding a Midi controller and you free up a lot of space on the pedalboard. And for live sessions, depending on the musical genre, where you don't need to bring a complete pedal board, not even a mini pedalboard, you would just bring this one and that's it.

[@LivinginLosAngeles-re5yx]

How close are the effects to Fractal? Is this truly in that echelon....

[@fishmank27]

I mean it’s a useful pedal for sure, I loved my M5. Bummed when it broke down. But…I think you need some looper style mastermind thing to make it be extremely useful and place wherever in the chain you want it for the effect used and midi changes.

[@bmitchellmusic]

@@paultiplea I'd say a 594 sits in-between the 2. If you want a 335-esque thing then get the Special. The DGT was meant to replace David Grissom's 335 tho funny enough haha I don't typically answer 'if you could only have one' kinda questions the way people want cause I can think of so many scenarios that would change my mind or yours. But if it helps...I don't own a DGT. I do own the Special ;)

@@bmitchellmusic It definitely does help. I appreciate you taking the time to engage in this convo!

Between the DGT and the Special… That’s a tough one. DGT definitely has more LP vibes to me, too (this is Brian BTW). Neck on the DGT is also different. If you can swing it, you’d definitely want to play the two before spending that much money to see what you really bond with. Personally the 594 is 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@MarkSchuster-ym3iy]

I’m a line 6 fan going on 2 decades now, have a lot of line 6 gear. I’m sure this sounds helix all the way, but if a person wanted to use this live , I just don’t see any way to quickly look for sounds on a song by song basis. Ie presets. ?

If it was $200 it would be a better buy. That said how many effects pedals out there now hit that $300 range and only offer one trick?
