Nice demo I often wondered why line 6 didn't put out just an effects only type rig and this is the answer to that. I have the helix so I don't need this but if this would have come out before the helix, I might have bought it... For the guitarists out there addicted to their amplifiers, this would be a nice addition to their rigs...

Hi there! Are you aware of the M-Series of FX-Boards from Line 6? The M13 has been arround for years and is the predecessor of this unit. They even inculded a "legacy" groupe of FX in this Helix HX, which consists of the "old" effects from the M13 :)

Hi! How did you record the sound un this Review? Did you send the HX signal to an amplifier (and did you mic that amp?) Or did you just connect the HX outputs to an audio interface? Thanks and great review

Sweetwater, how do you run two separate paths? Where one goes into one amp dry with an overdrive and the other amp gets the wet effects? I can't get it too work independently like you say in the video.

This is going to be popular.

Very nice!

I still use mine. I have two, one in the loop on my 5150/3 and another for my keyboards. Even just using them for delays and reverb it's a steal.

How would this sound going straight to the board and run through the monitors without having an amp/cab simulation?

@sweetwater

5 жыл бұрын

Hi, Mark. Thanks for your question! The short answer is, it depends. Amps/cabs/mics are all filters. When you add tubes, or tube emulation, there's some compression, as well. Without them, there's a lot more high and low frequency content, and you really have to rely on your hands to control dynamics. For a crystalline clean sound, it'd sound good without too much effort. For an edgy distortion/fuzz tone, again not too difficult. It's the mid gain, "warm"/"organic" breakup tones that require a lot of tone shaping with filters, EQ, compression and some ambiance You'll have a longer signal chain, but it's doable. An HXStomp might be a better bet if the one device is all you want to run through. Please contact me direct if my response isn't clear or you have other questions. Robert Williams, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 2371, robert_williams@sweetwater.com

Do these effects sound significantly better than the M-series ones? (M5, M9, M13)? If not, then this is just a re-packaging of those older units. with a new name. I'm hoping this is a significant step up in effect quality?

Alex.Guitars Thank you

Hello everyone, my HX Effects does not work with my Engl Sreammer 50. The TRS jack puts some extra voltage on the amplifier, the lead led always has a dim light even when the channel is off. The polarity of one button is right and the other is inverted. Changing from EXP to Amp in the preferences also does not solve the problem, however, using EXP we can change the polarity (strange).There is also an increase in the gain of the amplifier. Using a Boss FS-6 pedal works fine. Also with Behringer FCB1010. I reported the problem to Line6 who replied: "Hi, HX Effects ability to control external amp channel and/or reverb switching has been tested with many popular amps and heads. Unfortunately this does not guarantee compatibility with all products. Note that, depending on the circuitry of the channel switching jack in the guitar amp used, the EXT Amp function may not operate as expected. Best regards, Technical Support Line 6 Support Europe" This is a copy/paste from the manual. Therefore, you buy the equipment and if you are lucky it works with your amplifier.

A much more approachable upgrade from a POD.

yeah, you could send any midi command to the kemper to toggle on/off the kemper's built-in effects, and run it in four cable method with the kemper so the HXFX's dry fx would be in front of the kemper and the wet fx would be in Kemper's loop.

I've been playing on multi effects for years, but then I sold my Helix because it was too much for me. I wanna go simpler now and just bought me a good amp, I'm thinking about buying either this or a Helix LT instead of pedals. Is the only difference between HX and Helix LT the amp/cab sim and the volume pedal? I would rather buy the LT if that's the case, sometimes amp/cab saved my ass on stages.

What would be MUCH more useful is an "HX Amps" unit. Same idea (grab half of the Helix), but grab the Amp-side instead. Most people already have favorite stompboxes, be they analog or digital. But VERY FEW people have a big quality amp collection. I'd much rather pay $599 for a box-full of amps & IR's, than for a box-full of effects. Are you listening, Line 6?

I like Line 6 and the Helix looks good but Boss GT1 has 108 effects for $200, and they are Boss effects. GT100 has many more for $100 less than the Helix HX. Boss Katana is sweeping the latest Line 6 Spider amps so Line 6 needs to be more competitive. Plenty of Amplifi products in the shops with 3 years of dust on them and still asking > $400. Most folks acquire 5-15 pedals over 10-20 years for about $1500, then use three of them and have 7 or more in bypass haha. the Helix, amplifi, GT's etc. are the way to go but competition is ready to beat up Line 6.

This didn't need modelling amps/cabs because they already have the line 6 helix floor and LT version and helix native computer software. This is for the guys/girls that like the helix effects but want to put it through a real amp without the modeling amp/cab/mics.

I can see why so many pro acts still use stomp boxes, or have a roadie/tech do all the switching. Who has time to set all this stuff up? Guess the newer generation of guitarists are better able to deal with menus and editing...
