Yes, huge issue as this is marketed to pedalboards and switcher are very common. I have mine working using a midi patchbay but it takes space and it’s just a very annoying bug.

@rikhaven8 ай бұрын
Of course there is... In the hx series you have the M5 line of effects (legacy) as well as the new algorithms. So, you can make the comparison with a hx stomp or similar product, I believe.

Thank you for an honest and balanced opinion on this amazing little unit... I've got mine for three days or so now, so I certainly haven't fully explored its possibilities, consequently-haven't noticed some of the drawbacks you mention in your video. One thing that I noticed immediately, and which is quite annoying, is that when you press the selection knob and don't turn it fast enough you land in the global options menu instead of the effect categories. Otherwise I really enjoy the quality of some of the effects, particularly modulation and delays.

This may sound strange but I just use it simply as my standalone reverb pedal. That’s it. It’s cheaper than a strymon and sounds almost as good. Granted I’m only using a 20% mix at max but really that’s why I couldn’t justify a strymon. I know that cordy has said he likes the helix verbs and I can’t disagree. The plate and room are lovely. So I set it and forget it… works for me. The nice plus is if I do need some other random effect, it’s right there in the unit.

I do love the reverbs in HX One - I've been trying to figure out what pedals the HX One is making redundant for the next board build. Reverbs in the HX One are better than anything else I've got, but I also love stacking the HX One modulations with my existing reverb pedal. The standard plate reverb is wonderful, I also really like the new nonlinear reverb and the Ganymede.
@theiranxican74129 ай бұрын
Honestly, your use of this pedal as a standalone is not far off for my use either. For me I'm gonna be using it in front of my Headrush mx5 strictly as a polyphonic pitch shift as I use a bunch of different tunings in my music. The pitch effect is the BEST out of all modelers including Headrush (they have their own downtune). On top of that, I'd be using midi control on the hx one alongside the mx5 for setlists. Also can act as tuner, noise gate, and input ohm for guitars that are real high output. The digitech drop pedal is too limited in use and function, and the whammy dt is too big and too expensive (although priced the same). So go figure lol I'd still be hesitant on the hx one overall but I also had giftcards and vouchers to purchase one. If you find it cheaper then I'd say it's worth considering. 👍
@keithb56129 ай бұрын
Thanks. All good info to know. I haven't purchased this yet. In Flux mode.... can the mode be set to infinite for the parameter change until the footswitch press brings it back to the non Flux setting? Eg having a short delay as standard then a longer delay continuously on in Flux mode?
@KaiDown9 ай бұрын
Yes you can - many of the delays have infinite settings, and effect parameters can be controlled by Flux

I just don't understand why the looper is jist a one button affair such as the Tc ditto. Why not use the tap/flux button as a stop like all other looper of this form factor. Does my head in. Also as I use midi the not seeing preset name in the main display is a pain in the ass.

Is this powerful enough to be used with midi as a multi fx (morningstar mc 6) for example?
@KaiDown8 ай бұрын
You can use MIDI to control your preset changes, parameter changes and things like that, but I would be hesitant to grab a MIDI controller solely for the purposes of controlling the HX One. I’d probably sooner opt for an expression pedal and external switch combo instead
@marko.guitarko7 ай бұрын
I bought Hx One assuming it has momentary switches (special for flux), since I have Line 6 Stomp and it has that. Huge miss by Line 6 in my opinion, 10/10 as you put it, really disappointing. Do you thing that can be fixed by software update or is it a hardware thing, so no hope?
@KaiDown7 ай бұрын
Should be fixable via software update - may even be currently configurable with a MIDI controller

A thing that I personally miss is the capability to save On/Off status of the effect, inside the preset you save. If you use a midi controller and an expression pedal attached to the controller, is a very needed feature: so you can change a whole preset for all your pedals and recall a pitch shifter, for instance, but you'll activate using the expression pedal and not immediately (affecting your sound) I used to do this in an old Line6 M5 and works perfectly, I don't see why this is not possible on HX one. Another confirmed bug is the midi thru not working as they said in the manual. They confirmed directly to me in a ticket I sent through line6 web site. I also missing the legacy effects list a lot, but seems to be a deliberate choice, not a bug...

Has anyone found a way to save the preset to off until you want it on? Rather than selecting a preset and then turning the effect off until you actually need it?

One thing I found that's kind of annoying, if you use an external double footswitch for scrolling through presets, it turns the preset on, I couldn't find a way to make them 'off unless you engage the on switch'. Not a deal breaker, something they could easily give an option for and not really a big deal, just a little annoying.

One thing I found in trying to use my MC6 MIDI controller for it, at first as I switched to different sections I made on MIDI to engage different pedals for certain song sections or change songs, it would turn the pedal on and off in a frustrating way (CC 1, value 0 to turn on and off). However, found if you assign CC4 and value 0, it will turn it off or bypass it every time you use that MIDI switch. Quirky programming stuff that was not easy to find for me. Maybe it will help someone. Still a lot to figure out. Have not even attempted the Flux, or understanding how the preset saving part works.
@finyo833 ай бұрын
I think the volume disparity between effects might be due to leaving the input z parameter on auto. Try setting it to a specific value on all your patches and cycle through them to see if the disparity still occurs.
@bretrich8 ай бұрын
The dealbreaker for me was when scrolling, the screen is too small to read 3 lines of text. My vision isn't perfect, but this unit could have benefitted from a larger screen or having just one line of text with the number so that you can scroll up or down from there. I typically know my presets by number, but if I can't tell which chorus preset I'm on and I need to scroll, I gotta lean down like an old man to see what number it is.
@KaiDown7 ай бұрын
I can see that being a problem for sure. It would be good to have more options for UI given the constraints of the screen. I've got pretty perfect vision and even I have to focus in a lot to read it from standing. Simplified UI under something like "Live Mode" might be better, where it's just the preset name on-screen for better readability

Hey Kai, do you know if the input gate on the hx one affect both inputs? Say I’m running in the 4 cable method for the unit, does it mean the gate is applied twice or does it only apply to the input where I’m running the effect (pre or post)? Or is it fixed where it always affects only a single input (left or right)?
@KaiDown8 ай бұрын
Fairly certain it’s linked to the pedal’s position in your chain - ie, only applied wherever the effect is applied

@KaiDown9 ай бұрын
Killer amp choice! HX One would be a good shout for this one, you can add an expression pedal to it pretty easily - it's not something I've done yet, but I am tempted to. Outside of that, you don't really have many "simple" options. Most of the other multi-fx pedals are packing in a bunch of amps and cabs now. Your other options would be the TC Plethora, or you could go for one of the more simple "boutique" multi-effects pedals like the Crazy Tube Sidekick if you can narrow your effects choices down to a few essentials.
