CUSTOMIZE Your HX Stomp/Helix Footswitches in Advanced Ways

- In this video I'm going to show you how to customize and arrange your footswitches on your HX Stomp/Helix in more advanced ways. Most of the time you can just do snapshot mode, or stomp mode, or preset mode. But using these tips, I show you how you can customize the buttons to mix and match between those options, and have the layout be what you want it to be.

I'm on maybe 3 hours of watching your content if you count rewinding. Massive thanks for these videos they're so helpful
Glad to help, and thanks for watching!
That last advanced setting was exactly what I was hoping to see if the stomp could do. Much appreciated for this video!
great stuff. Helix / HX products are so so configurable/customizable for sure
You rock. Thank you for educating me!
This was cool and informative. Thanks
Thank you so much. I figured out how to change presets(000-002) using only one button(fs4) in command center. Really appreciate your help!
Nice one. Love your Stomp vids Scott. Cheers!
Thank you!
Cool, thanks a lot!
Its a very nice setup and your videos are so important and great to watch :)
big thanks to that!
Glad you like them!
Omg dude, thanx so much for the help. You're nailing it. Keep rocking
Glad to help!
wow, you are awesome. very useful content explained understandable and yet fast. Thanks a lot
Cheers
Michael
Thanks Michael 🤘
Legend. Amazing informative videos.
Thanks! Glad to help 😊
Awesome !
Great stuff! Super helpful
🤘🤘
This is great info. Thanks.
🤘🤘
Thanks buddy, finally I've got easy access to the tuner.
Glad it helped 🤘
Thanks so much my dude! I knew it was a super versatile piece of gear but I didn’t know it could do all that too.
Another great pedal to pair with the stomp is the Jet Micro. It’s a 3 button foot switch that connects via midi, so you can free up your expression slot for an expression pedal. Plus it has a dedicated tap/tuner mode and a looper mode, so you can use the 3 buttons as stomp buttons then switch to tap/tuner or to control your looper. Although for those extra features you have to pay more, $150 new or you might be able to find a used one for $100.
Nice! I’ll have to check that out. I’ve been looking into possibly a midi one to get a few more buttons out of it 🤘
bud you smashed it here, thank you !!
Thanks! Glad you found it useful 🤘
I love you! Thank u so much!
🤘🤘
Great vid, I set up FS3 as snapshot toggle, so handy
Yup, that’s super helpful!
Hi Scott! Thanks a lot for your video it's very clear and helpful!
I've got a question about customization, is there anyway to change the default configuration on the hx stomp that when you press both FS1 and FS2 simultaneously or FS2 and FS3 it doesn't show like a preset select menu? I'm willing to do this because it'd be cool to change it to Prest up and down or anything like that. It'd be also cool to even turn it off because it's pretty dangerous when pressing those two, the screen changes to that weird menu and you have to step down and change the view manually which is impossible if you're right in the middle of a solo and want to go back to your clean tone or change presets.
I don’t believe you can change that. It would be nice if you could for sure!
That hotone foot switch pedal is killer for the price. I got like 3 of em lol. Highly recommend.
Yeah they really are!
Man, it's crazy how much customization can be on the HX Stomp buttons! Your videos are incredibly useful, and packed full of information. I'm going to have to watch this one several times. I have a question about something I noticed about what seems like some buttons not being used/available in certain modes.
On the HX Stomp, the 3 buttons/turning knobs just below the Display screen, and Page Knob, all appear to be idol for most of the core usage. It doesn't look like they are used when any of the 4 Modes (i.e. Stomp, Scroll, Preset, Snapshot) are active. Seems to me, they could be used to: Turn on/off various features, adjust settings, give access to 3 more Snapshots, turn Blocks on/off etc.
What do you think?
I do know the 2 "Views - Play, and Edit" use those knobs.
Thanks! Glad you liked the video. If I’m understanding the question, I don’t think it has much useable besides what you listed. It would be tough to hit those buttons while performing too.
@@ScottUhlMusic I primarily use my HX Stomp as a Desktop unit, so some extra buttons would be useful. I was curious if I had missed something in the way the unit worked that would render my idea impossible. I thought if there were any hidden conflicting settings or interoperability I overlooked, you would be the one who knows. Thanks
I love your videos! I use the ampero switch as my footswitch 4 and 5. I'm trying to use them to go between presets but it's not working. Footswitch 5 will go up a preset but I'm not able to make Footswitch 4 go back down. Any advice? Im trying to use global settings and command center.
Thanks! And it’s likely because you are using a TS cable and not a TRS cable. Make sure it’s TRS
Thanks for the vid. At 1:17 there seems to be an option to use the switches to go up and down in the presets. Do the presets get initiated when you switch to a new preset? I'm selling my M5 because it's too clunky to get around changing presets without midi. I was hoping to have my presets preloaded and just change them whenever I switch to a different song when playing live. Cheers!
Yup if you go that route it does get initiated when changing presets 👍
i wonder if there is a way to use the line 6 fbv express mkII to use as the expression pedal and also assign the abcd buttons for snapshots/presets/ midi commands
You do only get 1 exp pedal and 1 button for a total of 2 exp inputs on the stomp
Great video thank you so much for all of your hard work. I have a question for you I am unable to access foot switch three in global settings it will not let me switch any of the commands do you have any idea why? It’s locked to the tuner
Yeah that’s in global settings. Watch my video on it here: czcams.com/video/pg2VdBX7tBo/video.html The part about footswitches
@@ScottUhlMusic thanks so much, you’re the best!
Very helpful, thanks a lot! But I have two questions: I am using the HX stomp in stomp mode, FS1 toggles between snapshots 1 and 2 with selected colors (e.g. normal and solo) - I would like to have the solo snapshot with bright color instead of dim color, is this possible? FS2 is set to next preset, how can I set a color to it (the LED is always off)?
I’m not sure how to change colors of the rings if that’s what you mean
Scott, can you hook up 2 -2 Button Footswitches? I'm thinking (and hoping) that you CAN, and by doing it, you'd have FOUR extra Buttons to maybe turn Effects On/OFff, or when in Stomp Box Mode...maybe be able to use it that way with the Individual Effects.
The stomp only accepts 2 expression inputs. You cannot get more. You’ll need to use midi in order to get more footswitch controls
Is there a way to have a FS act like a bypass toggle for a block while also having a double function as the tap tempo?
so basically, stomp instead of going to the tuner on press and hold.
Hmm…. That I don’t know. I haven’t tried that. That would be interesting
Hi Scott, Have you had any experience with the gecko MK3? I'm having nightmares assigning the 'ok' button to be the tap tempo/tuner. The up and down buttons select presets as I want them to.
Help! Thanks,
Matt.
I have not used that one, so I’m not sure. I do love the TT2 and definitely recommend it!
@@ScottUhlMusic I cracked it in the end, I've no idea how but it works!
is there a way to assign when you press two switches some functionality? Example sw1 and sw2 preset up and sw2 and sw3 preset down?
As of right now, no, there is no way to assign that that I know of
So could you have, for example, 3 banks with two effects in each bank that would be triggered by FS1 and FS2 when that bank is selected, and then use the FS3 as a Bank Up button to scroll through the banks?
Yup you can do that 👍
Hey! I was wondering if you are able to assign the 3 as stomp boxes and then have a press and hold function on the 3rd to still activate the tuner. Meaning switch 3 press would turn on or off the reverb and then if I press and hold it would bring up the tuner. Please let me know if that if a function. Thanks!
I don't believe so, you basically get to assign tap/tuner to a FS (I have it assigned to FS 5) and it's always in that spot.
@@ScottUhlMusic thanks for the reply! gotcha, I’m planning on getting an HX stomp, but was hoping I could do without the additional stomp.
Can you assign footswitch 4 on the two button external pedal to turn my eq on and off if yes how?
Assigning the footswitch to turn on and off eq? Yes, it’s pretty straightforward while watching this video 👍
Hello. I am wanting to set my 3rd footswitch as on/off switch for overdrive, but when I hold the footswitch, it goes in to tuner option so I can tune my guitar. Any tips? Thank you
Yup, you configure that in global settings 👍
Is there a way on the HX Stomp XL to set the Tap Tempo switch to an effect? I know you can set an external switch to do Tap Tempo. With my set up, it’s a bit of a balancing act trying to adjust the tempo of a delay using the on board tap tempo while I’m in mid song. Thanks.
What do you mean set the tap tempo to an effect?
@@ScottUhlMusic Sorry for the delay. What I mean is can the "Tap/Tempo" switch on the Stomp XL be assigned to function as something other than controlling the tempo of, say, a delay as well as being held down to activate the tuner. Can it be assigned to turn on and off one of the stomp effects.
From what I understand an external foot switch can be assigned to function as Tap/Tempo, thus in theory freeing up that "Tap/Tempo" switch for something else"
I have a question. I always use the Hx stomp in Snapshot mode because is the best way to use the pedal .What if I program one of the footswitches to scroll through the 3 snapshots and let the other two to have different effects that aren’t in the same preset, does the snapshots stay on all the time and can I combine the effects that aren’t in the same preset at the same time?
If I understand the question correctly, Yup that’s correct 👍
So,... can you scroll through presets WHILE in snapshot mode? Been trying to configure this without much luck so far.
Yeah, set the two footswitches to go up and down presets and leave the mode in snapshot mode 🤘 You can also push FS1 and 2 or FS 2 and 3 together to switch to scroll up and down presets
Hi all, at this point, can i have 3 snapshots on fs1 and 3 snapshots on fs2 but for a different preset? Thank you!
Yup 👍
If you have used a processor , you have noticed when you change the preset by banks up and down it Blinks ...but on the HX stomp .. if you select the preset Up down option .. it directly take you to the preset ...any help how can i get the blink option so that i can select the perfect patch to choose??
You could do that using the control center for a specific patch. That might be the best way?
@@ScottUhlMusic i need to change the banks properly... hx stomp doesn't blinks.. it shows three snapshots together...if you choose the bank up down option from the foot switches option
For Hx stomp
This video should help: czcams.com/video/pg2VdBX7tBo/video.html
how the safe it if you have switched the option (f.e. next preset)?
I’m not sure what you are asking
@@ScottUhlMusic I mean how do you safe when you change the footswitch option in the hx program :-)
@@ScottUhlMusic as you explain in the command center (start on 1:56)
@@ScottUhlMusic The question was how to save the foot switch, for example, so that when you press the button it jumps to the next preset, saving the setting in the device itself :-)
Anybody. How do I disable bank up/down in preset mode?
This video should help: czcams.com/video/pg2VdBX7tBo/video.html
Thanks for the quick response! I have a bigger foot and I hit both switches at once often sending me into bank up/down. How do I prevent this in preset mode? I dont see it covered in this video. Or is it and if so at what time frame? Thanks!!
Oh I see what you are asking, I understand now. I don’t know if there is a way to turn that off. I’m pretty sure it’s just set that way
@@ScottUhlMusic Thats what I thunk. Appreciate you!
How many snapshot in hx stomp??
3
I found another trick.
If put in the footswitch function " Mometary "
and in the command center put snapshot 1 on snapshot 2 and etc
in the snap settings you can set the name and color.
They will glow dimly and show the name of the active snapshot
there will be no double click
Oh nice! That’s cool 🤘
@@ScottUhlMusic I am correcting myself. The title was for the next snapshot, not the current one, but I did it.
in command center for snapshot 1 set "press snap 1" and release "snap 2" and etc.
Thank you for the video!
Lol so after all that , it made a high squeal through the speaker and now no input or output fuck should have just bought a boost pedal. Warranty is good but wtf
Uh… you must have hooked something up wrong. Mine has never done that. Could be defective, but I would ask line 6
@@ScottUhlMusic yea it’s definitly my end because I worked great for about 8 mins
