PROGRAMMING & GETTING STARTED w/ HX Stomp/HX Stomp XL - In Depth Guide

[@randysosa7616]

Dude I hope you’re getting a paycheck from line 6 because this is some seriously good content. I just got my Stomp and your videos are by far the easiest to understand.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! Glad to hear that. Line 6 gets a lot of MY paycheck actually 😅

[@douglasvaughn9349]

Great video ! Helped me a lot . Subbed

[@calmistheway]

Yeah pretty much the most usable vids on the subject.

[@ErnestCarroll]

I just got mine and I'm loving this video.

[@Downunder1634]

The best Stomp tutorial on KZbin. I understand the stomp much better. I have to watch this video again. Thanks mate. It is very valuable and helpful.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you! Glad it helped

[@lltoolbox]

I really appreciate that there is no fluff in the video and it's all usable information. It was easy to sit through the whole video. I'll be watching it again just to hammer it all in and I'll be watching your other videos.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Awesome, thank you for watching :)

[@AlanBullenLynxNetworks]

Excellent. I'm just a bit annyed that it took so long to find this video. I've been looking for something like this for weeks!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bradyreed3457]

I've had my HX Stomp for months, and have been somewhat intimidated by the deep complexity of this device - I didn't know where to start until I found this video. Thanks so much for providing it!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad I could help!

[@halfglassfull]

Just got a Stomp XL this afternoon and this evening I figured out how to set it up. Thanks to you. Awesome.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad I could help!

[@michaeloberly6129]

Late to the party, but just got one of these kind of amazing pedals, and this video is as good as the pedal. Thanks for explaining it in a way that anyone can understand.

[@scotmark]

I got an HX Stomp a few months ago. Now actually starting to try to *use* it isn't so daunting... Thanks, Scott!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad to hear that!

[@wallace_nelson]

Very Helpful. I'm getting my first HX Stomp this week. Appreciate the video.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Nice! Enjoy 🤘

[@fretlessman71]

WONDERFUL video. Much better than the manual (which isn't bad either). Of note: 3:04 - the pedals go in reverse order on the HX Stomp compared to a traditional pedal board, with the input on the right. Might be helpful for us visual folks.

[@animatordavevasquez]

Total beginner to the HX Stomp and this is hands-down, the best explanation to get started. Thanks!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful.

[@XenMedia69]

Really useful stuff here - quick, non-complicated and logical. Taught me a lot. Cheers man.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad it helped!

[@planetbass1]

Hey Scott, I am so grateful to you for doing videos like you do. I am a professional musician who has worked with many artists in most scenarios, tv, videos, award shows, stadiums, arenas, theatre, jazz club, olympic games etc. When i am at home and doing local gigs in London I like to record my gigs, keep up with the latest tech with IEM, digital mixers, bass tech as I am a bass player and auxilary tech to make a gig easier for the musicians, akin to my pro life. Your videos are wonderful, easy to understand and very informative. I received my HX Stomp yesterday evening and am now wanting to edit for a gig this evening. After looking through 10's of videos in my research of the HX Stomp vs the competition I have watched yours and loved them along with your enthusiasm and attention to detail, your videos are by far the best for my needs. Thank you Scott.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you! I’m glad you’ve found the videos so helpful. Enjoy your Stomp 🤘

[@mikeoxley9796]

Just got an HX Stomp and this video is an absolute life saver! Thanks Scott!!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad it helped!

[@pod7450]

I have had a Stomp for a while now......and still learned a few tricks from this. Thanks!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Awesome! Glad to hear that, thank you!

[@picksalot1]

Incredibly useful video, even after I've used the HX Stomp for 1.5 years. Initially, I used HX Edit to make all my setting changes, but discovered I wasn't really "listening" to the sounds closely enough. I was relying too much what I was seeing on my computer screen. I changed that a while back, and started using the Unit itself to make the setting changes. This turned out to be faster, and I get better sounding results. I highly recommend that method, and this video also taught me some button shortcuts I can use. Scott, thanks for making such outstanding videos. It's really helped me a lot, and this video is a good way for new and experienced users to learn and be reminded of the HX Stomp's many powerful features. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@CA10Z]

Thanks for the referral....It covered a ton

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you for the comment! I’m glad you found it so helpful 😊

[@Quetange]

Man, your videos on the HX stomp are really useful, just pure gold, thank you so much!!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! Glad you’re finding them useful 🙏

[@TonyMoricete]

Thank you!

[@kirkfischer8300]

As a new owner of this pedal- this is pure gold. Thank you for your concise and clear explanations.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad to help!

[@simonwha1272]

Thank you so much for this. It helped me so much. I'm literally going to watch these instead of googling.

[@davistribe]

Brand new to the whole digital modulation, midi, record on a computer world. A little late to the party….but I just play at church and for friends. Looking to up my game a bit. Bought a HX Stomp and am clueless how to proceed. This video is just what I needed. There is so much information to absorb. Thanks for making it easier to understand for the technically challenged.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! Glad it helped 🤘

[@DidiCatman]

Great tutorial with nice edits! Two tips that I found very useful and that might help others are: 1) You can access the tuner without a footswitch by pressing Action + Page > and 2) to quickly copy a preset just rotate the top knob while saving the preset. Enjoy your hx stomp everybody!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks for the tips! 🤘🤘

[@biratthapa2039]

Mate, I just purchased HX stomp after watching your video. You explained it so well I was able to figure out most of the things on my first try. Thanks a lot!!!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Awesome! Glad to hear that 🤘

[@gvkJoris]

Best tutorial on KZbin !!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you 🙏

[@slicksalmon6948]

This is terrific. So far, your channel is the best structured instruction I've found on Line 6 products.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you!

[@DIGITAL7Media]

Seriously dude. I hope life is kind to you because of this. And thank you for not jamming your guitar for this one. This is great out of the box help.

[@guerinog]

Grazie.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you!

[@mattmartinez1450]

I picked up the Stomp XL yesterday and was looking for a video like this. Thank you soooo much for sharing your knowledge and making it easier to understand this amazing pedal. As soon as I can get the kids to school I will be working on setting mine up.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad it was helpful!

[@KipCount]

Great video. Very clear. I used to think the HX Stomp was way more complex than I wanted to deal with, but you laid everything out really well and was easy to follow.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Great to hear!

[@joeyberrios5461]

Insane good walk thru. Really appreciate the text on screen and the red boxes to draw my eye in. Makes walking thru the HX much easier! Keep up the good work, this was extremely helpful.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad to help! The editing is what takes forever with these videos, but I think that’s what helps people the most

[@thiagofreitas8180]

By far the best video I've ever seen on this unit. Thank you!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

[@fluxiable]

Fantastic video! Just got a HX stomp and this made it so much easier to get started...! Thanks !!

[@anthonybarrington2562]

Just got the Stomp today and went straight to this guide. Very excited to learn how to use this bad boy!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Nice! Enjoy 💪💪

[@richmosley2519]

I paused at 3:10 to comment. Thank you for going through the basics! I had watched other videos and felt completely lost. I am no audio engineer. I'm just an amateur musician. :D I appreciate this video!

[@rodpyle4241]

Awesome video ! Thank you for the great tutorial

[@DooDooStaynes]

Love your tutorials. Been watching your videos since I’ve bought an HX stomp.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed them!

[@lexaunculpt]

Thanks!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks!

[@benn746]

WOW. WOW!!! Got one of these coming in the mail and this looks like a perfect place to start. Thanks for adding the little squares to highlight your overdub, it really helps! Just watching this I can already begin like I know how to use it without even touching it yet! Part of that is of course Line 6 (what a great, intuitive design) but your instruction is really great here.

[@benn746]

So intuitive. Like I was already looking at that page over to scroll through the individual pedal settings on the three knobs. What a stellar piece of equipment.

[@JimmyKay1976]

I needed this. Thanks for the effort and detailed information!

[@cheintz44]

Thanks for this video. I’ve had a Kemper for years and just got the HX Stomp XL. Information you provide makes the learning curve so much quicker!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! And Kemper is quite an amazing unit for sure. I do think helix is easier to program than Kemper or Axe FX, but they are all great for tones!

[@danilohernandez2801]

I'm looking forward to watching your other videos on the HX. I was ready to give-up on the pedal simply because I thought you had to be a rocket scientist. thanks for taking the time.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad it helped!

[@justenn9949]

Exactly what I needed with fluff. Thank you!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad I could help! 🤘

Got a HX Stomp last week and thanks for the video. Now I dont need to go over the user manual :D

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad to help!

[@boabglen]

Best videos on the helix bro. Honestly so simple but beginners need. Appreciate it

[@ScottUhlMusic]

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you 🙏

[@braydenunderwood9486]

Holy cow. This has gotta be the best review for the best pedal 😂. Can’t wait for mine to come! I play for my church quite often and this will be perfect for that. I also bought a dual footswitch

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! Enjoy your stomp!

[@martinfay7274]

This video is probably the best way a new Helix user could spend 30 minutes.

[@Coelus459]

I don't even have one of these, but I subbed due to how much work you put into this video!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you! I really appreciate that!

[@shuster1921]

Subbed! This made more sense than 95% of the tutorials I've watched!! Thanks Brother!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you!

[@nicolasdupuis1015]

Just bought one and it can be a little bit overwhelming but you explained it so well thanks man! 🤘

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad to hear it 🤘

[@donrayes]

What an amazing video, so well spent time! Thanks a lot!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dazming]

Thanks for your video Scott, they are very helpful. I wanted to clarify from 25:56 send/return. Example, For just one mono external pedal, we could use the block FX loop L, instead of Send L, I believe. Beats having to waste another block just for the return. Then again with this, you've also opened an experiment to have other blocks between one send L block and the Return L block, for an external delay pedal for example. 🤔👍🏻

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Ahhhh that definitely makes sense! I don’t use it with other pedals, so that definitely makes way more sense that they would do it that way! I thought that was just a more advanced setting. Thanks for the comment and the correction! I appreciate it

[@lucasbelloni]

Thanks for this video bro, really helpful. Just got my HX Stomp and now I feel more secure to dig into it.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad you found it helpful 🤘

[@ZZEROO99]

Thanks, watching this is helping me decide if its the right device for me.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad to help! All Helix family products are amazing... it's mostly how many buttons/pedals/snapshots/presets you need. Most gigs I use this... if I need more, I use my Helix.

[@constantine412]

Excellent presentation of valuable information!💯

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! 🤘

[@MordecaiSoup7]

Holy actual cow this was a lot of great info. Good job brofessor. And thanks.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@justsomemincedgarlic]

So my buddy from work just let me borrow one of these. I’ve been a “les Paul -> small pedal board -> orange ad30” guy for the last 15 years (i swear im only 31 but I feel like a boomer) so there is a lot to learn, but damn if I’m not having more fun than I have in years. And a headphone out lets me play with killer tone at 3am in my apartment. Thanks for making this video because its helped me A TON. Definitely getting a sub from me.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Nice! And yeah for practicing especially these are amazing. Although I did sell all my amps and only go direct now haha

[@jalonparcial]

Super useful video bro, thanks for all of the effort that u put in these videos 🤘

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad you like them! 🤘

[@G-NutZ]

Man thank you for the content! I have been wanting to try going amp-less and pack light but I’m still stuck in the tube amps are the only option mindset, I’m starting to embrace the digital world. This really helps.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

[@AdamAarts]

Thanks for the dedication to all this. I am awaiting my HX Stomp so watching these is helping me learn while I wait!

[@AdamAarts]

In addition, I’m very glad you are doing all the editing on the unit itself. A few videos I’ve seen so far have used a computer to edit, and I’m happy to see you can edit everything just as much within the unit itself

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks, yeah I hardly use Hx Edit. I plan to eventually do a video on it, but I like editing on the unit itself

[@humansnotai4912]

Did you get it yet?

[@chateautemp]

Second thumbs up👍for refresher. Great stuff!

[@garyatkins4479]

Excellent review.. thinking of ordering one now that I see it’s so simple to use

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks Peter! I appreciate that

[@_Bachi_]

Brilliant video. Thank you so much

[@DickiesTunes]

Finally someone actuslly explained it from the start. Thank you. Very disappointed in Line 6 instructions in the box, which simply says to go to their website.

[@est.nineteen83]

Exactly what I needed. Thank you.

[@MrEcted]

Thanks man! Best tutorial I've found so far. I had an HX Stomp a little while ago but didn't really take the time to learn it properly, I basically just used HX Edit and used it for recording and such, but would have been completely lost trying to use it in a live scenario so this helps. As soon as I sold it I regretted it, so just bought another one again today, this time I'll really learn it, hah.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

haha nice! It can be a bit intimidating for sure, but it's such a powerful device. Enjoy!

[@TonyTenor3000]

I’m not sure I understand why you put the amp/cab as the first thing in the chain, but all the other info was useful. I assume you can put the effects before the amp like a normal setup, with noise gate as the first effect, and then pedals, then amp/cab. Mine arrives Thursday, I’m excited

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Always trust your ear with the order of the fx/blocks 👍

[@lgovantes1]

Great video... you are very good at explaining everything. I looked into the extra switch unit, and there are other much cheaper options... HOTONE Dual Footswitch Pedal Momentary 2-Way Pedal Switcher Foot Controller Ampero Switch 1/4-Inch is one.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yup! I actually did a video on it: CHEAP 2 Button EXTERNAL FOOTSWITCH for HX STOMP - Hotone Ampero Switch kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGPQhIGPe7V5n6s

[@humansnotai4912]

Great video Scott. Just got one of these and went through your tutorial. You saved me a lot of time! Just subbed. Updated to v3.5. It is absolutely amazing. No more buying pedals only to find that they're not the sound I want and then chucking them in the pedal graveyard (cupboard). Plus if you're a bedroom guitarist you can plug your headphones in and you don't even need an amp! Absolutely totally definitely for sure recommend getting one. Namaste x

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! And yeah I definitely need to do the update, I heard it’s really good 🤘

[@abba_gonzalez]

Very useful man. Thnx!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad it helped!

[@darkonation]

Holy shit! EVERYTHING I WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS DAMN THING!...😅 Well done my friend! Thank you so very much for this breakdown. I got so overwhelmed when I started digging into it. There is so much you can do, it's easy to get lost in it. Was for me anyway. This really cleared things up. Really appreciate your effort and work. I can't wait to start looking into how midi works with the HX Stomp, but I need to get the basics down first. Thanks again man. Means alot to so many of us dummies. 😂 Take care! 🤘

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad so many people have found this helpful!

[@LaChatta1000]

Grazie, this video is a perfect tutorial!

I just picked up an HX stone. I’m running a tally 76 to a dark glass to my noble.. so I gotta learn how to use this thing
