Happy New Year EytschPi 😆 thank you for the very enjoyable and instructive videos 🙏😆
Thanks for the demo of the HX One. Pretty cool pedal with a looper and tuner included. Can’t afford anymore pedals right now but I can still enjoy the video which I did. You deserve way more subscribers, this is one of the best channels on CZcams for guitar gear. Thanks for keeping it real, and fun!
✌🏻
I watch it this far because your videos are incredible.
I love the "Favorite List" idea! That really should be an upgrade in the software.
Yay! New video!
Amazing shots
Fantasticly indepth review! My attention span for the whole raft of mini multifx type pedals taken from a more expensive big brother is now borderline the same as "Oh look, a new Klon Clone" or "Oh look, a new drive pedal"... I could probably do a video a day for the next 5 years of every damn drive pedal currently on the market, forgetting the next new "big thing" that appears tomorrow!
Great video, as usual, Henning, thanks.
I have a TC-Electronic G-Force from around 25 years ago. Works great, does everything well except distortion & speaker emulation, which it has as an extra emergency thing i guess.
I still haven't heard a unit that makes me want to replace it.
Plus it has 8 engines : 8 simultaneous algos, can be 4 on each side for example, or 8 in stereo, so i actually have a potent dual mono multi-fx i can use for recording with my 24 track.
And it barely costs more than this single effect.
It'll be a while before these manufacturers see my money.
I had an M13 as well and to be honest I'm still using most of the Legacy effects in my Helix!
Dimension chorus for cleans and Line 6 drive + 808 screamer!
Simple delay and Ping Pong delay from the Legacy effects rock.
The Helix has a favourite folder for amps and effects with your favourite settings. I'm pretty sure Line6 will implement it on the HX One.
That 15 year old album sounded phenomenal!
How long it will take for Line6 to release an HX Amp? That hx one format with the Helix Amps and Cabs/IRs to compete with the UAFX amps, Iridiums, ACS1, etc
I think they would sell a lot of those and i'm sure this unit is capable of that. Pretty sure they're just working on the UI and UX right now.
Thanks for the fashion advice. I’ll try it with my „angry cat riding a unicorn with a cigar in the paw“ shirt.
Record a full album with one box is a big plus point, also for learning.❤
The Favourites you advocate surely is going to happen anytime soon - Line6 has a great reputation with updates.🎉
I'd buy it tomorrow if I could use 2 FX at a time. The single is way too limiting for the price, and for not much more you can get a Stomp used, if not new, and get all the amps and cab, IR loading, re-amping, etc etc too. Cool idea, but I need to make my money go as far as possible. Thanks for the awesome review! It does sound great.
If there was one thing I could wish for such a pedal, it would be a digitally controlled analog dry through path for time and modeling effects (as the strymon timeline and big sky have). Though it probably would drive up the price by at least 100 euro and might require a slightly larger housing.
This size pedal is attractive to the purists that still use real pedal boards. And dry-wet rigs. And those are the kind of people that care about the zero latency of analog dry through pedals.
Great video !! These multi-effects/amp emulators seem to come out weekly at $300 -$1k+. How about starting a running list and rank them based for tone and utility?
Looks like it would work well in the B loop of my LS-2 just by itself. Then I could stack with other pedals in Loop A. I’d use it on bass.
I have an HX Stomp & just ordered one of these. I also have the two extra buttons for the Stomp & a four button midi controller. I’d love to see this used with a Stomp & what options could be set up with both.
I didn’t think it’s too high priced for having over 250 effects loaded into it. I do feel like at least a couple of extra buttons could have been added but that’s easily remedied by just adding another two button pedal for around $20-ish.
I’m intrigued by this. I have a need for something like this that could either be a Wah or a compressor
The only thing that bums me out is that it doesn’t generate midi messages - if it did that I’d pick one up
As is it’s so close to what I need but falls just a bit short
You should make a video showing if or how this could be useful if used into the pod go efx loop was wondering if it would help with the cpu being used up in the pod go
Is it possible to make a video but only about the synth sounds please? I'm interested in their tracking. Thank you!
I absolutely agree with you on the favorites list. Same for every other multi-FX on the market. It should be a law.
You save the effects you like into the presets. And there are 128 of them plus you can go into the settings and change the amount of pre sets you want to have available. The learning curve on the HX 1 is kind of steep but easy to learn.
Doesn`t the Neunaber Illumine basically have a Flux equivalent with the A/B-function?
Ca you use looper mode while simultaneously using an effect - say, like a low octave? Just curious if I can use this to loop bass lines, or if cam only loop without other onboard effects playing. Thanks!
I don't think you can
Wondering what a Helix 2 will look like considering adding this to an HX Stomp gives you more power than a flagship Helix with a smaller footprint.
Wish they would also add an lfo that we could use as controllers. Just so i can use the ADT as a flanger 😂. I know its a long shot, but i would love an HX4, that has no screens. Kinda like the old md4 dl4 etc.
That Shabbat is the star of the show
Sometimes certain parts of a job aren’t fun or pure enjoyment. Noodling through a pricy „Preset-Schleuder“ like this seems to go in that direction. Obviously the Shabat is the star of this episode.
Happy new year @all🎉
Does anyone know how to save preset with the effect turned off?? Every time I change a preset the effect is always already on, and I can’t find any setting where allows me to do otherwise. WHY lol
What if I wanna change a sound mid song while playing and load a big delay for the outro but not have it on already until I actually press on
A "Favorite List" is a good idea. Maybe there is a way to use the Editor to group your Favorite Effects together. 🤷
It's been working ok for me with a Boss ES5 but I really need Midi Out/Thru to use it properly. It's a shame Line 6 won't give any update on when this will be fixed. Customer support is woeful.
But you can take any of the built in presets, modify them if you like, and then save them as your own preset, right? Doesn't that do the same thing as a Favorite list?
Fractal has had the effect ramping since 2001
I decides myself to buy hotone ampero mini as alternativ. Less, mine, also a lot off effects and the possibility to use it as an one box effect chain...so more effects also at the same time...with amp simulation out .in front of my amp
This pedal is one "block/item" for $300. The HX Stomp is eight "blocks/items" for $700. This pedal has effects. The Stomp has effects, amps, cabinets, and IR files. Obviously the two products are aimed at different audiences, but boy is $300 a lot of money for one block instead of eight, and no amp/'cab sims. And then there's the HX Effects and the Pod Go to consider. As long as people understand exactly what all the options are, the One will fit some use cases. I still like the fact that Line 6 made it, though. For some, this pedal will be the perfect solution.
True. I've tested both the One and the Stomp XL but as a bassplayer I really liked the One more as it's fun and simple. The price is justified for rare occasions. The stomp XL can indeed do a lot more and the price is also solid however €700 for multi fx on bass that I won't always use is a lot.
I wish I could access all the synths in the One. I've missed that by going through the presets 😕
I would have thought that the R&D for this would be basically nothing. The software was already substantially built out. The hardware is just shrinking an already existing product where you don’t have to miniaturize anything.
They should be able to sell this for $150 at high margins. And at $150, this would be incredible
@@jloiben12 At $150 they couldn't build them fast enough. I wonder if they're using the same CPU as in the Pod Go, or if they had to use a different one. That would require some R&D.
It would be nice if it was a little bit cheaper (or if it would have 2 blocks ;)). But i think the possible target market may still be decent. There are still many players that prefer using a nice amp with reverb tank, and only need one ‘post pre-amp’ effect for variation,such as a delay or modulation
(but for now, i probably would still go for a $100 used M5 in that case ;))
And the Eventide H9 Max (one algorithm at a time) is around US$500 used - that’s the target market for this.
Flux it up!!!
Need is a strong word, want is more suitable to my situation. Im still looking at the full helix or maybe i don’t need 4 loops so an LT could be enough or is the HX one more than I need?
Your dogs seem to be impressed by that sheep dog. I wonder if they would like to be working animals? Can dogs in Germany get part time jobs? I imagine they would squander all their pay on kibble.
A good video
I have two on my board. Yes theyre not the cheapest but i can cover everything with these and my boss es5 running midi
is it possible to determine min and max values for parameters to control with an expression pedal? just like you control the bar underneath the knobs on the eventide h9
Yes
@@EytschPi42 how can i do that? im new into everything pedal, thank you
I would rather buy a tc plethora X5 or X3
Why?
@@adhaskym.a9536 it has a LOT of effects and you don't have to use only one.
Fashion Corner, new series coming to a screen near you 🤣
It would be useful with a Boss ES5 switcher, it can change order of effects. It could be any where in the chain and switched to any of it's model programs by MIDI. But no thanks.
I'd love to know your thoughts on the HX one vs. the Tonex One and the Tonex.
They literally do completely different things.
hX one only does effects and not amps and ToneX only does alps and not effects
@@EytschPi42 Gotcha, thanks a bunch.
Will all the effect work for bass??
Yes
can you use more effect together??
No
It's interesting that you mention Eventide with reverence as if they're the apex of effects. From my experience, in my opinion, they are very far from it. I've owned Eventide "-Factor" pedals and found them all to sound harsh and unpleasant. I owned 3 in succession, eBay-ed all of them. I feel about effects processors the same way that I do about stereo components: No one company makes the best of all components. You buy speakers from a speaker company, turntable from a turntable company, integrated amp from an amplifier company (or even preamp and power amp from "best-of" in each category). Likewise, I buy overdrives from one maker, amp modelers from another (mine is currently a ToneX), delay and reverb from two other companies (in my case TC Electronic and Source Audio respectively). I'm not much for the Line6 / Strymon model of virtual knobs, where from patch 1 to patch 2 the same knob has a completely different function. That's way too confusing when you're onstage. Just my 2 cents - or maybe 200 dollars, for having commented so much !
I really do love your videos. I mostly appreciate your blunt, honest opinions.
Can you run the loopers and one fx at the same time?
No
@@EytschPi42 cheers!
Kemper is doing the Flux or "ramping up" for years now. Its calld Morph in the Kemper Universe
I wanted to post the same. I think you cannot define curves, or the duration - but you can also control morphing via pedal
@@tobiasbales You can adjust the rise and fall perameters in the kemper, even the spillover. I hate to use the pedal for that since i play drunk all the time. A push of a button is more sufficent ;)
That's great product, BUT i would prefer a "mini" Helix in a pedal, with a small but great selection of guitar amps and effects, helix quality, for around 300 bucks. It would be great. I don't need 100 effects (in fact most of guitarist uses just a bunch) but i need great amp sims/effect all in one.
The HX Stomp isn't too big to be honest.
Is it true that you can’t save the effects on bypass? Every time I try, the effect goes back to ON when saving. I contacted Line6 and an agent said it’s not possible. So if I’m using the pedal live with an external midi switcher like I do with the M5, and I start scrolling, the effects engage automatically and will sound. That makes impossible to scrolling in a live situation. And makes this a toy and not a pro tool. Line6 missed a big one here, I hope they make an update soon and include all the things that the M5 does already, like being able to save the presets in bypass. The tuner doesn’t work on true bypass neither. I’m really disappointed with this thing so far! Please hurry up with that firmware update so we can feel we gave you $ for something useful!
why cant you use your smartphone as a big display for this pedal, it's got usb and most phones have usb host capabilities. that'd be easy to implement, just do it. from there you could program this thing and set favorites/programs of your own.
Lots of choices, but you can only have a single one at a time. Not sure I'd even look at one at that price. If it had been a mini HX effects with 3-4 at once, it would sell like hotcakes. At $400CAD, can any single HX1 effect compete with slightly boutique pedals at that pricepoint? Not really.
I was really hoping with the dl4mk2 they would have done a four slot multi effects, HX4...
Why? Why did they release this when Pod Go is cheaper, has the same fx and can do far more.
Sorry , the tech is there to run two or three or four fx at once , like a zoom CDR , would be much more useful , nice fx sounds but it wouldn’t be difficult for it to run more than one 🤷♂️
That would massively over complicated the “flux” feature. Likely to the point of not being feasible
Can’t beat dirty knobs 😂
250 effects... One at the time! Helix products sound great, but require a bit of effort in order to make it sound as it is intended. At some point you need to spend time learning how to set it up and do a LOT of tweaking instead of actually playing.
As much as i love line 6 and want to love this, by the time i bought enough of those to build a signal path i may as well just get the helix or the HX stomp. This one is like line 6 ran out of ideas. What a waste. Unless you’re loaded.
I have both the stomp and this and understanding how you can run the stereo through your effects loop and to the input of your amp makes this a brilliant pedal.
None of what you said is true. I don't think you understand this pedal at all
I dont get why you'd buy something like this when you can get a multifx from Zoom that sounds as good, can do more than one effect and is the SAME PRICE. Line 6 wasted time on this when they could have given us a Helix v2.0 pedal.
Just don't try to use the MIDI Thru option No Worky
Cant see the point in this as the HX Effects does more for less ...
I only have one space on my board. HX FX won’t fit
U might want to read up on how to use the unit dood
read the WHOLE manual, but knowing it SOOOO well that you don't make a mistaker isn't really feasable... and making mistakes also shows how you as a consumer would interact with the product.
only one effect at a time? trash!
It always strikes me how your self-confidence always turns out in lousy guitar playing 🤔
