Wth line6?? 😂. I JUST bought an HX Stomp and now theres one that switches banks and channels in FOURS??? I wonder if Ive passed my 30 day mark for return.

[@sboy1955]

Good overview 👍🏽

[@Icy_Cards]

Both lol

[@wd8440]

Mitch is the king of gear demos. No idle chatter or bad jokes; just clear and to the point reviews. Thank you.

[@traspati1583]

Mitch is the best! Very informative yet always to the point. I never feel my time wasted whenever watching his review.

[@budgetguitarist]

I've had a Stomp for a while now and I love it. I use it live, but I send patch changes to it from Ableton via MIDI, so I don't need the extra switches. But I think the XL is a great addition to the line 6, um... line.

[@fernandajafia]

🙁😆😆😒👦😒💅🥲🐻‍❄️🙌

[@rayzberg]

Seriously, does having more foot switches really make it more handy? No, it makes it more footy!

[@tweets9349]

It’s convenient to have everything available to you with your foot l, depends if you’re a live player or not

[@CBGypsy03]

Tee hee

[@sboy1955]

Har har har 😁

[@MotownGuitarJoe]

If you play live, it's everything

[@n.s.a5661]

For a live player yes. For someone like you who only plays at his moms basement, no

[@jst601]

I'm impressed that Mitch has that high end Yamaha Revstar. Wow. Wish Sweetwater could keep those in stock!

[@AD1978leo]

Line 6 has really reached a new level these past few years. I'm not picking on the old tech but the difference between the old pod and a Helix...

[@lyleanderson5407]

Maybe I am just getting older but a larger touch screen like the Hotone Ampero or similar would bring me to pull the trigger Great unit and very nice demo!

[@eriknessel6050]

I only used an HX stomp in conjunction with my HX effects for a short period of time, and I loved it! the sound was amazing, and this looks like the perfect in-between that was needed. might consider upgrading, thanks Mitch!

[@JohnSanger-o1x]

Excellent demonstration. Thank you kindly.

[@OutpourEast]

Dude. If they would have put loops in the pedal like the boss ms3 I would have cried tears of Joy!!! Still seems super awesome! Especially if you don’t have a stomp already. Great option.

[@jayteesgear]

Mitch youre a great classic rock player! Sounds fabulous

[@danimal_666]

Don’t forget hx effects. It still fits somewhere in between these 2 models when you consider the price difference between the xl and the stomp.

[@AD1978leo]

I have the HX Effects for my tube rig... love it! I'm wanting one of the Helix models to set up a home studio I think the big one is probably overkill as it will mainly be sitting on the desk hooked to monitors.

[@menamehere5555]

I had the original Line 6 POD rackmount and I loved it. This looks like a winner to me. Only thing I would change is make the screen bigger because my eyes are not what they used to be.

[@TC-ow5rt]

I went with the XL. If I already had an HX Stomp, I wouldn't have bothered to upgrade. I prefer the input/output jack placement on the XL. The extra buttons also mean I don't have to keep the MIDI controller around for most of the things I want to do.

[@jasong546]

Revstars becoming very popular, I guess I need the stomp and the guitar

[@Mindartcreativity]

Line6 is 100% owned by Yamaha, so it might be a requirement by Line6/Yamaha to do official demos of their products with a Yamaha guitar (I could be wrong of course).

[@timbrink]

They need a "return to previous" switch for the time a drunk band member or audience member steps/falls on the board.

[@romeou4965]

I’m downscaling to HX XL from Helix LT for more portability. Find no need for vol/exp pedal in my electric and bass playing.

[@Bobby_Digital37]

Everything is that same on the inside... I'll take the smaller cheaper one with the same processing power, when it goes on sale :)

[@leocubiasmusiclifestyle7460]

Got my Helix Rack and Floor Controller from Sweetwater 🤓

[@Ortizsensei]

I currently own the HX Stomp, and the one thing I wish it had more than anything was a 4th Snapshot space, but am I really about to drop almost $800 just for that 4th snapshot? 🤔

[@brandonreed6528]

Sell the stomp and only pay $400 ish

[@Ortizsensei]

@@brandonreed6528 tempting 👀

[@superblondeDotOrg]

HX stomp sends Qwerty keyboard commands. Ok. So basically I can type with my feet now. 😁😁

[@AndersonNoguez]

Great video! I wonder if the standard hx stomp with an external midi controller can do the same things as hx xl or are there some features that only hx xl can do?

[@sweetwater]

Aside from the few differences I mentioned in the video (one more scene per preset, a couple more presets in the XL, etc.), the two pedals are functionally nearly identical. For example, you can control the looper in the XL from the built-in switches. You’d needa MIDI controller to do that with the Stomp. Thanks for watching, hope this helps. Mitch

[@AndersonNoguez]

@@sweetwater thanks Mitch! :)

[@jonahpaz.]

​@@sweetwater is it possible to have 8 snapshots in the hx stomp xl?

[@KunchangLeeMusic]

Wow sounds good

[@aaronjpowers]

The Mitch, the Mitch, the Mitch, the Mitch is back.

[@PearHellforge]

why can't they make 2 send output jacks?

[@AudacityWorks]

I think you can with a Y cable.

[@PearHellforge]

sure, but i want 2 send outs. can't I?

[@billmint8122]

@@PearHellforge Yes. With a Y cable.

[@sboy1955]

No XLR out on the XL… ?

[@markgamache6377]

the output is balanced you just need an adapter (cheap)

[@paul.m633]

Hx stomp + MC6 = XXL

[@endezeichengrimm]

What? no XLR out?

[@originalfallinggirl]

Who is your Sweetwater rep? I’m Team Jeff

[@ArhipelagGoogla]

Для меня лучше ToneX. В виде плагина или в виде педали, неважно :) И абсолютно наплевать, что он работает на импульсах, а Стомп - моделирует звук. Ведь главное, что звучит лучше.

[@astrokratov_official]

О, Меладзе обозревает процессор!

[@batmandeltaforce]

Needs 3 EXP inputs to be useful:)

[@kodykindhart5644]

Try an exp input switch

50.00 amazon difference, so 50 bucks gets you 5 more buttons. Many people get at least a two button switcher.....

Which one ☝️ is better?

[@bassmonk2920]

Now do the same with a bass

[@Looshbaby]

for us older people, might need glasses

[@Mindartcreativity]

I'm sure you could mount a reading loupe to the HX in some way to make it easier to read.

[@truthfactreality6814]

Line 6 are really milking helix. They need to get something on par with quad cortex

[@shul5684]

How is the cortex better than the helix?

[@alienlovesecrets9379]

@@shul5684 Better is the wrong word. It has more advanced features formactorwise and the ability to capture physical rigs. That it something only Kemper could do in that way. QC is only the "next generation Helix" with more features, so not really "better". Good sound is good sound.

[@superblondeDotOrg]

if you want advanced, plug your guitar into a mac mini and use vst plugins.

[@shul5684]

@@alienlovesecrets9379 I agree there is no such thing as "better" thats why I asked this guy the question. It sounds like he believes the QC is better when in reality amp modelling is pretty much at it's peak. I really don't think it can get better since "better" is really physical gear. More features is a different matter and I believe the helix has more than enough features in a digital pedal. Qc just added more space for that. That doesn't make the helix any less of a product.

[@AudacityWorks]

@@alienlovesecrets9379 It is a copy of Helix's interface that's for sure. Its something Behringer or Samsung would do.

[@alrayson]

Hx effect owner congrats your unit value is dropping again

[@TheBoondoggler]

Confusing, typical Line 6

[@thepricillove5244]

Listen I need a simple to work stomps but god damn it if it has 50 different distortion or fuzz boxes and the rest reverb there will be emails and nasty review
