How To EXPAND Your HX STOMP Beyond Only 3 FOOTSWITCHES!
Музыка
In today’s video, we are going over all the ways you can expand the capabilities of the HX Stomp (and other Helix Devices). I know with only 3 buttons, it seems limited, but you can expand on it in many different ways for not a lot of money. Either with 2 extra buttons, and expression pedal, or even with midi, you can get a lot of our the HX Stomp and use it to it’s full potential.

I use an AMT EX50 as expression pedal for my HX Stomp, which is super cool since it has 2 outputs: TRS and TS! When I use the HX Stomp alone (for small travel setups) I use the EX50 on the TS out to the ring input, and on the tip I have an aux footswitch for tap tempo/tuner. The HX is used in Stomp mode, and on FS3 thanks the Command Center I programmed it to trigger Next Snapshot when Holding the FS. So I have all the control I need without external midi control. In my normal board instead I use HX with a mini dual aux footswitch to scroll snapshots and tuner/tap. In this board I'm using it together with a Strymon Timeline, which has a expression pedal connected to it. Here there's a Midi cable from Timeline to HX. When I move the exp pedal connected to the Timeline, its movement is tracked via midi CC, so I can use the same exp pedal also to control parameters on the HX via midi. HX is amazing!
Another great video Scott. I have an m-audio expression pedal, which I modifed to include a toe switch. The toe switch acts as FS4 and the exp pedal is Exp1. This allows me to treat the expression like a real wah wah - push down to enable, push down to disable.

Toggle Expression - That can be useful so you could assign volume to exp1 and a wah to exp2 if you had an expression pedal plugged in this would either be a volume pedal or wah according to which you had selected. So many more options as the helix lets you control lots of things with expression pedals it could be gain, mix, delay times or even pitch shift like the digitech whammy. I think you can even set multiple parameters and controls so you could increase reverb mix while reducing the gain on an overdrive. Then still be able to hit that toggle expression switch and then you're back to having a volume pedal

I'm sure someone's said this by now, but the footswitch to switch between EXP1 and EXP2 is good if you use just a one-button footswitch (tip for example) and an expression pedal (ring)... then you can use that button to tell the Stomp which exp function to target. In much the same way that that Mission L6 expression pedal works.
Nice to have an affiliate link to a TRS single switch. BTW from the video I was not sure you could do the TRS 1-switch and 1-exp approach but as suspected that is an approach too. Might go that route for simplicity and fitting it all on my nano. 😂

I think the Expression switch would be if you have one Expression pedal but via Midi assigns - you can alternate between the two - if you don't want to have two expression pedals. Which I've guessed from watching your video and now I think I might have found a way to modify my settings - so thank you 😀

Great video! I need to look at Morningstar's options again. Seems like one of the best ways to add MIDI control to the Stomp. I use a DIY arduino based switcher, but it doesn't have scenes, so each switch only sends a single command. 6 switches send preset up and down, FS1 and 2, tap tempo, and tuner. I do use a Source Audio Hot Hand 3. I clipped off the ring, and mounted the transmitter to my violin. Normally I use it to kick up delay feedback by tilting my violin down to the floor, and I have a DVP4 mini to control mix on the effect loop, wah, or volume, depending on the preset.

I've used your videos to become more and more familiar with my hx stomp and really appreciate the great content! I wanted to share a small correction in this video. At about the 1:40 mark you mention needing to use TRS cable attached to the 2-button footswitch to use both buttons. I'm currently using a mission expression pedal (with toe switch) AND a 2-button foot switch all at the same time with a TRS -> Dual TS y-cable. My stomp sees and allows me to use both footswitches and expression1 and expression2 using this TRS -> Dual TS cable. So I just wanted to share that with you! Thanks again for all the great content on expanding the hx stomp!

Wait… really? How does that work if you have to assign how you want the external input to be assigned. You set it to either FS or EXP mode. You can’t use 4 (2 extra FS and 2 extra EXP). If I am incorrect on that, can you share what pedal and system you are using? To make sure I understand you correctly…. You are able to assign FS4, FS5, EXP 1 and EXP 2 all at the same time using the method that you are using? I’m still almost positive this cannot be done, but if I am incorrect, I will do an updated video. Thank you!

Hey Scott, ya! I'm using a mission engineering expression pedal with toe-switch and a generic 2 button footswitch (not sure of the make/model). I haven't assigned fs1, fs2, exp1 and exp2 to anything just yet. But the stomp is seeing them all at once using the trs -> dual ts cabling. I'll try to do some assignments in the coming days and update you on the results. But I can confirm the hx does see all the buttons and expression pedals all at once :)
@ScottUhlMusic

Ok gotcha, that makes sense! However, I do not believe you can program all 4 because under global setting and preferences you have to assign if you want it to be a footswitch or exp pedal. So I don’t believe you can use all 4 at once. But let me know if you find out otherwise!!

In 8:18 you mentioned that you used a Sonicake expression pedal with your HX Stomp with a TRS to 2 TS cables. One for the foot switch and another to the pedal. I bought the pedal and it didn’t work. When sweeping the values they were g going from 0 to 100 to 0 again. So the heel was 0 and toe was also 0. The reason is that the output jack for the sonicake pedal is expecting a TRS cable. What I did was to unscrew both output and input jacks, open the case from the bottom and lift the contact (for the output jack) that would touch the “sleeve” part of the TRS cable. Since we’re plugging a TS cable this change was needed. Maybe the hardware was different when you used it, Scott. Anyway, thank you for this great video. It helped me a lot.

Since using the stomp standalone at home but with an amp with my band, is made fs4 my "panic button". It switches the loop for the preamp off and activates a model. Just in case the amp goes down or whatever. Coming from digital I am not against the idea using the stomp just like that in live scenarios, but there may be situations where the pa might not be as powerful in super small clubs where you have to have stage volume or having a big stage and being able to have some stage volume just for feel.
First off your videos are super helpful!! Thank you so much! The TRS cable at 8:09…if you ran the cable OUT from the expression (wah/vol) and one into a Stomp and the other into an HX Effects, could you control parameters on each Line 6 unit with the single expression pedal?

It seems like that sonicake you have to use a TRS cable. That fixed it up and now auto calibrates and no issues getting the full range of 0% at heel and 100% at toe.
Thanks for all of your help figuring out the Stomp! Maybe i missed it… what is the simplest way to use a volume/expression pedal via midi in?

I use my toggle expression switch!.. I have in the preset a wah and a tremolo the wah is set to be exp1 the tremolo speed is exp2 then I have one expression pedal and use the toggle expression to switch between using the expression pedal on wah or tremolo!

Thanks for this awesome video Scott, I just subscribed! I am such a noob when it comes to the massive world of Multi-FX, MIDI & switcher possibilities, but I have seen the light! I just bought an HX Stomp and a Boss-ES8 switcher. Have you or anyone here ever used this combination? I imagine there are similar capabilities with this powerful duo, but sincerely appreciate anyone's thoughts here. Thanks again!

Hello! Thank you for your videos, they are really helpful, I bought ammoon guitar systems and thay work great. But if we talking about Helix Stomp - did you tried to use M-Wave Chocolate BT midi controller? I use it for a year right now and it is perfect to me, even in comparsion with stuff that costs 10 times more. I use it wiressly and wired in different situations, you must try it, it cheap as hell. Dont forget buy a midi-bluetooth transmitter, but remember that only cons of this thing is low distance (there is some fixes, but it is as it is right out of the box).

@@ScottUhlMusic it costs about 30$ on aliexpress (with additional 15$ for M-Wave midi to bluetooth transmitter), and its capabilities are insane. It can send anything you want in case of midi scenarios (single PP or CC commands, CC on-off pairs for Helix, even chains of midi commands), you can plug expression pedal into this and get wireless expression or you can turn it into wired one - but you dont want to do this because it has built-in battery! And it also can be used as iPad control or as bluetooth keyboard for PC or Mac (and you can set any key to a footswitch). And 15$ midi-bluetooth transmitter can work as MIDI-USB-Host, so you can use it with old stuff like Zoom MS pedals that dont have MIDI IN, but have midi over USB. Sounds incredible, but it can all of this and it do its job perfectly! Only cons for me is low wireless distance (about 3-4 feets) because of antenna lacking (some people attached external one, but you need soldering skills) and no indication leds on footswitches.

Hi Scott! New subscriber here, been enjoying all your videos! I have a quick Q: Im using the Ampero switch and I want to use the FS4 to go to a specific preset and when I set it in the command center it works once but when I go to another preset and press FS4 it doesnt work. Then I go to command center again and it is unassigned! You know what could be happening? When I try this with another utility such as snapsht up/down or looper it works so Im completetly lost hahah

If I’m understanding you correctly, I would try sending midi to the certain commands more than FS7 and 8. So if you want fs7 to turn on your chorus pedal, assign that via midi instead of by a footswitch command.

Hi, is there something like a dual switcher on the market (with two foot switches) that would switch between different pedals (switch 1) and scroll trough presets with the other switch? This way you would only need 2 switches to change presets on (let’s say 3) DIFFERENT pedals that have a preset feature and a TRS connection.

Hx stomp only allows 2 total expression inputs, so you can use 1 button and 1 expression pedal in that situation. You’ll want a TRS 1/4” to 2 TS 1/4” splitter to connect to the stomp 👍
I've got a 2-button switch plugged into Exp 4 and 5 on my HX Stomp, and I use that to scroll up and down through my Snapshots. I've have an old Boss GT-6 that has 7 foot switches, and an Expression Pedal and I'd like to use it as a Controller for the Stomp. I did manage to get the Expression Pedal to control the volume on a Preset by linking MIDI to a Volume Block on the Stomp. I'd like to use the GT-6 foot switches to control other functions on the Stomp, like Bank Up, Bank Down, Tuner on/off, etc., but I haven't been able to get the Stomp to recognize/respond to the MIDI sent by the GT-6. I think I've got to use the "Learn" function, but I always get stuck at this point. I'm probably not doing something right. I usually give up at this point. I may have seen something in this video that might help. I can't find any videos that utilize a device like the GT-6 as a Controller as I've described. 🤷

Hi I know this is an older video, but I hope you see this question. I have a Cymatic UTrack (and an LP16). Both can be controlled via footswitch to start / stop. Do you think there would be a way that I could use the MC8 to control both the HX Stomp AND the Utrack so that I can start songs from the Utrack Playlist? I *could* just have a separate footswitch for the Utrack, but it would be nice to have less stuff on the floor if I could condense that function into the MC8 and still use the other 6 switches on the HX Stomp. Thanks in advance!
