Use it as a 'super stompbox', a backup or fly rig, an add-on tone expander when combined with other modellers, an audio interface - or even a complete guitar or bass rig. The same HX Modelling technology which powers the flagship Helix guitar processor enables HX Stomp to run up to six processing blocks simultaneously, making it the most powerful and flexible stompbox-sized multi-effects processor available. HX Stomp is easy to operate thanks to its simple-but-powerful controls, colour display, and capacitive-sensing footswitches with colour-coded LED rings. External control via MIDI and optional expression pedal and footswitch control provide additional flexibility, as does I/O that may be configured for sophisticated routing such as simultaneously feeding an amp and a FOH mixer, 4-cable method operation with an amplifier, and studio re-amping. Along with over 300 amps, cabs, and effects - even a looper-HX Stomp includes a legacy library of effects from Line 6 M-Series pedals, as well as from classic Line 6 stompbox modellers such as the DL4, MM4, FM4, and DM4.
