Welcome to HX Stomp XL
"70 pages for a pedal? Man, I hate reading manuals!"
I know, right?! We're not overly fond of writing them either, especially when so few people read them. What if we make a handful of super-short videos that get you up and running with your new HX Stomp XL in minutes, and you promise not to jump online and complain about having to read a lengthy manual for a pedal. Agreed? Go here, line6.com/meet-hx-stompxl:
"Wheee! I love reading manuals!"
That sounds a bit sarcastic, but regardless, thank you for buying the Line 6 HX Stomp XLpedal,oneofthemostpowerfulandflexiblestompboxesevercreated.Wehopeit helps drive your search for tonal bliss and spawns years of creativity, both on stage and in the studio. Although you're likely anxious to rip open the plastic and plug in, wait! At the very least, check out the HX Stomp XL Cheat Sheet that came in the box, and keep it handy. Then read the "Quick Start" chapter of this manual, and we'll have you up and shredding in no time.
IMPORTANT! Because the HX Stomp XL pedal can be used in so many ways, its factory presets are sort of all over the map. For example, any presets starting with "FX" denote tones designed with effects only, for going straight into your guitar amp. Any presets starting with "DIR" denote tones with amp, cab/IR, and effects blocks for going direct into a full-range amplification system like FRFR (Full Range Flat Response) or PA speakers. Also, note that presets starting with "4CM" won't sound at all unless your HX Stomp XL pedal is connected to your amp via 4-Cable Method - see page 9.

Common Terminology
While reading this manual, you may encounter several unfamiliar terms. It's important to know what they mean. Be careful--we might toss a pop quiz your way.
Block Blocks are objects that represent various elements of your tone, such
as amps, cabs, effects, splits, loopers, inputs, outputs, and impulse responses. The HX Stomp XL pedal can accommodate up to eight simultaneousamp,cab,IR,effects,and/orlooperblocks,DSPpermitting.
Model Each processing block can accommodate one model (or, in some cases,
two models). HX Stomp XL includes over 80 guitar and bass amps, over 40cabs,andover220effectsmodels.
Preset A preset is your tone. It consists of all blocks, snapshots, footswitch
assignments, and controller assignments.
Controller Controllers are used to adjust various parameters in real-time. For
example, an external expression pedal can be used to control wah, or the mod wheel on your MIDI keyboard can be used to control delay feedback and reverb depth.
Send/ The HX Stomp XL stereo TRS Send and separate left and right Returns Return areusedtoinsertyourfavoritestompboxesanywhereinthesignalflow
or for connecting to your guitar amp via 4-Cable Method - see page 9.
IR IRs (Impulse Responses) are mathematical functions representing the
sonic measurements of audio systems. HX Stomp XL can store up to 128 custom or third-party IRs at a time. See "Impulse Response (IR)"
*NOTE: To import IRs into your HX Stomp XL hardware, you'll need to download and install the latest Line 6 HX Edit software--see the following "HX Edit Application" section.

Why Does HX Stomp XL Sound [insert descriptor here]?
Like most guitarists, you're probably used to the sound and feel of real tube amps. So are we. Musicians instinctually understand that a roaring 4x12 cab pointing at the backoftheirkneessoundsandfeelstotallydifferentfromapairofplasticPAspeakers (or even high-quality studio monitors) pointing at their face. Yet some may blame their multieffects box for this disparity. Like any other device without built-in speakers, HX Stomp XL is completely at the mercy of what you plug it into. Your playback system has a massive impact on the sound and feel of your tone, and if HX Stomp XL appears tosoundthin,tubby,boxy,harsh,dull,orsomeotherless-than-idealadjective,thefirst thing to scrutinize is your playback system.
There's also nothing wrong with bypassing the HX Stomp XL cab or IR blocks and runningitintoaflatpowerampandrealwoodencab;digitalmagicwillneverconvince anyone their 6 computer speakers are a wall o' stacks. Your tone is only as good as the weakest link in your chain, and understand that given identical playback systems, HX Stomp XL amp modeling is designed to be virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.
HX Edit Application

messages. See "MIDI" for more information.
18. USB HX Stomp XL also functions as a high-quality, multichannel 24-bit/96kHz
USB audio interface for Mac and Windows computers, with DI, re-amping, and MIDI functionality built right in. Use of a USB 2.0 (or higher) port is required--do not use an external USB hub. HX Stomp XL can also function as an audio/MIDI interface for Apple iPad or iPhone mobile devices (with optional Apple Camera Connection Kit).
19. DC In Line 6 recommends using only the supplied DC-3 power supply. Yes,
we know it's large, but the HX Stomp XL pedal packs a lot of circuitry into its tiny housing. To ensure the same signal integrity of Helix®, Helix Rack/Control, and Helix LT devices, we needed a burly power supply.
That said, Line 6 has provided a list of third-party supplies that we've tested with HX Stomp XL, which can be found here: https://line6.com/support/page/kb/ effects-controllers/. The provided AC adapter serves as the disconnect device.
20. Power Switch Nine out of ten blues dentists agree: HX Stomp XL is more fun
when powered on. The tenth dentist is a nihilist.

Quick Start
Hooking It All Up
There are many ways to connect HX Stomp XL to other gear, and the following pages illustrate only a few.
HX Stomp XL on a Pedalboard
Although HX Stomp XL has amp and cab modeling, there's no reason you have to use it, especially if you have a favorite guitar or bass amp. All eight processing blocks can be dedicatedtoeffectsandeffectscontrol.
TIP: Look for factory presets with names starting with "FX." These have been createdwitheffectsblocksonly.

HX Stomp XL in 4-Cable Method
"4 Cable-Method" is a popular and flexible way of hooking things up, allowing you to route some effects blocks (most often drives, distortions, wahs, and compressors) beforeyouramp'spreampandothereffectsblocks(oftentime-basedeffectslikedelays andreverbs)initseffectsloop.

HX Stomp XL with Powered Speakers
Depending on how complex your tones are, HX Stomp may be able to act as your entire processing rig, providing amp modeling, cab modeling, or cab IRs (Impulse Responses), effects,looping,andevenatuner. When connecting HX Stomp XL to a powered speaker (or two powered speakers in stereo), set the main outputs to line level. See "Setting Proper Levels"
TIP: Be sure to check out the Line 6 Powercab® active guitar speaker systems-- designedspecificallyforusewithmodelerslikeHX Stomp XL! You can connect up to two expression pedals and/or momentary type footswitches to HX Stomp XL's rear panel EXP 1/2 | FS 7/8 jack using a Y cable. Alternatively, you can connect a single Mission SP1-L6H Line 6 Expression Pedal, which has a toe switch built in that can toggle its function between EXP 1 (Wah by default) and EXP 2 (Volume by default).
TIP: Look for factory presets starting with "DIR" (short for direct). These have beencreatedwithafulltone'sworthofamps,cabs,andeffects.

HX Stomp XL in a Hybrid Amp/Direct Setup
When playing live, some guitarists and bassists love running their signal direct to the FOH (Front of House) console but prefer the feel of standing in front of a real amp. HX Stomp XL can accommodate both playback systems simultaneously.
Place a Send/Return > Mono > Send L block directly before any Amp or Amp+Cab block in your signal flow. This will be the point where the signal is tapped and sent to yourrealamp.ThenthefullsignalflowwithAmpandCab/IRblockscanbesenttothe FOH console.
TIP: Look for factory presets starting with "BAS." These have been created with aSend/Return>Mono>SendLblockpositionedafterEffectsblocksandbefore the Amp or Amp+Cab block. Although they've been designed with bass players in mind, there's nothing wrong with swapping out the bass amp and cab for a guitar amp and cab (or IR).

Stomp Mode - 4 Switch Option

1. Stomp Mode Switches When the 6 Switch option is in use, each of the
footswitches 1~6 can do a number of things:
· Toggleoneormoreblocksonandoff · Toggle between two values of one or more parameters · Generate a MIDI, QWERTY Hotkey, HX Preset, HX Snapshot, or HX Looper
message
· All of the above, even simultaneously

The six labels indicate the block bypass, controller, and/or Command Center assignments for HX Stomp XL's corresponding footswitches 1~6. The labels dim when the block is bypassed. If the switch includes no assignment, its label is blank.

NOTE: If a switch is assigned to multiple blocks or items, its box reads "MULTIPLE (X)," where X is the number of assignments, and stepping on the switch turns them all on and off. If some blocks are on and some are bypassed, stepping on the switch toggles each block's bypass state.
When the 4 Switch option is active, the left two grey labels display your selected Up/ Downoption--Bank,Preset,orSnapshot--asconfiguredbythe"Global Settings > Footswitches" > Up/Down Switches setting.

You can edit most blocks' settings without taking your hands off the guitar, including Amp, Effect, Cab, IR, Split, Mixer, Input, and Output Block parameters! If you hate having to reach down and twist knobs, Pedal Edit mode will be your new best friend. Although Pedal Edit is not intended to replace proper controller assignment, it can also be used to tweak one parameter at a time during a performance in a pinch.

1. Press and hold the MODE switch for one second to enter Pedal Edit mode's Block Select screen.
If the current preset's signal flow includes six or fewer blocks (including the Input, Split, Merge, and Output), each block's label appears--independent of its footswitchassignment--flashingonthescreenalongwiththefootswitches.
If the signal flow has seven or more blocks (including the Input, Split, Merge, and Output), FS3 appears as MORE... (as shown below). Pressing FS3 (MORE...) cycles through the additional page(s) of blocks. The preset's processing blocks appear,withtheirrespectivefootswitch1~6LEDsflashing.

Selecting Blocks/Adjusting Parameters
Each preset in HX Stomp XL can accommodate up to eight blocks. Blocks are objects that represent various elements of a preset, such as amps, cabs, effects, or even a Looper. In addition to the eight processing blocks, each preset has an Input block, Output block, and for presets with two parallel paths, Split and Mixer blocks.
1. While in Edit view, from Stomp footswitch mode, briefly touch (but don't press) the footswitch assigned to the block (if any).
If multiple blocks are assigned to a footswitch, touch the top of the switch repeatedly until the desired block is selected.
Alternatively, turn the Upper Knob to select blocks.
The selected block appears with a white outline:
2. Turn Knobs 1-3 below the screen.
Some blocks have more than one page of parameters. In this case, the center inspector line will display a thin, colored scroll bar:

NOTE: There are two types of All Bypass in HX Stomp XL: Analog bypass (sometimes called "true bypass"), where mechanically switching relays route your signal directly from the inputs to the outputs with no processing or A/D/A conversion, and DSP bypass, where any delay echoes and reverb tails decay naturally. By default, HX Stomp XL is set for Analog bypass, but this behavior can be set from "Global Settings > Preferences".
2. Press any footswitch.
HX Stomp XL returns to normal operation.
TIP: You can also re-purpose the TAP/TUNER switch (or external footswitch FS7 or FS8) to All Bypass. See "Global Settings > Footswitches".

Creating /Restoring Full Device Backups
Creating full backups of your HX Stomp XL device's presets, IRs, Favorites, custom model defaults, and global settings is highly recommended to make sure your precious customtonesandconfigurationsareneverlost!Fortunately,thefreeLine6HX Edit app makes it easy to create full backups and restore them anytime (available from line6.com/ software). Please refer to the HX Edit Pilot's Guide for steps on how to use its built-in Backup & Restore features.

Serial vs. Parallel Routing
Formanyguitartones,aserial(asingle,stereopath)signalflowismorethanadequate. For example, the preset below includes a Pitch/Synth block (violet) > Amp block (red) > IR block (pink) > Modulation block (blue) > Delay block (green) > and Reverb block (dark orange):
Formoresophisticatedtones,aparallel(twostereopaths)signalflowcanbecreated. This lets you split the signal into two stereo paths, process them separately, and mix the two paths back together. A few advantages of parallel routing:
· If a reverb follows a delay on a serial path, the delay's echoes will have reverb applied. Likewise, if a delay follows a reverb on a serial path, the reverb's tail will have distinct echoes. Conversely, if a reverb and delay are on separate parallel paths,theywon'taffectoneanotherandcansometimesresultincleaner,more definednotes
· Ifyoureffectblocksdon'thaveMixorBlendcontrols,addingthemtoaparallel path allows the dry guitar or bass signal to pass through unaffected and be blendedwiththeeffectedsignal.Thiscanbeespeciallyeffectivewhenblending clean and distorted bass signals
· Instead of a single Amp+Cab block, you may be able to run a standalone Amp block into two parallel Cab blocks or Impulse Responses (or one of each)
· With stereo rigs, each path can be panned freely between the left and right speakers or amps by using the Mixer block. Different delay and/or reverb models panned hard left and hard right can sound particularly huge
TIP: Remember that with parallel routing, both paths A and B are stereo paths, allowing you to utilize either mono or stereo processing blocks on each, and pan as desired. See "Block Order and Stereo Imaging" on page 24.
1. From Edit view, turn the Upper Knob to select a processing block and press ACTION to pick it up.
2. Turn Knob 1 (Path) to select "B."
The Delay block is moved to a newly created parallel path B.

In the preceding illustration: Our guitar signal goes into the purple Pitch, Amp, IR, and Modulation blocks, and then is split to path A (upper) and path B (lower). Stereo path A (upper) is sent to the dark orange Reverb block and stereo path B (lower) is sent to the green Delay block. Stereo paths A and B are merged together and sent to the Output.
3. Press ACTION again to drop the Delay block. To remove path B, return all blocks that reside on path B (lower) to path A (upper).
Setting Path B's Output
There may be situations where you want parallel path B to be sent to a completely differentsetofoutputs.
1. From Edit view, turn the Upper Knob to select the point where the two paths merge.
The Mixer block appears only when selected:
2. Press ACTION and turn Knob 1 (Path) to select "B."
The Mixer moves to path B, and a new Output block is created. In this case, path A is being sent from the HX Stomp XL Main L/R outputs, and path B is being sent from its stereo Send L/R output:
3. Press ACTION again to drop the Mixer block.

TAP Tempo

Press the TAP/TUNER switch repeatedly to set the tempo in BPM (Beats Per Minute).

Certain Delay and Modulation parameters such as Time and Speed can be represented with fixed numeric values (ms or Hz) or note values (1/4-note, dotted 1/8-note, etc.). When set to note values, the parameter will follow Tap Tempo or incoming MIDI clock. Press the parameter knob to toggle between ms (or Hz) and note values.

Dynamic DSP
Like nearly all modern audio processors, the HX Stomp XL engine is based on DSP (Digital Signal Processing). Some models require many times more DSP horsepower than others, so it makes logical sense that fewer of those models could exist in a tone. To work around this, some processors restrict you to one amp, one reverb, one delay, etc. With HX Stomp XL, who are we to say you can't run eight distortions in a row? Or two Amp blocks into two IRs? Or two parallel mods into two parallel delays into two parallel reverbs for some massive swirly stereo ambient wash? We feel it's important to let you keep adding whatever you want to your tone, even if you may eventually run out of DSP.

To see which models can be added to the current preset, from Edit view, press the Lower Knob to open the model list.
Grayed-out items cannot be accommodated and are skipped over - See "Selecting Blocks/Adjusting Parameters".
Amp+Cab A30 Fawn Brt Matchstick Ch1 Matchstick Ch2 Matchstick Jump Mandarin 80
Tips to Optimize DSP
· Some block types use much more DSP than others, such Amps, IRs, Reverbs, and models that utilize polyphonic pitch shifting (Delay - Poly Sustain, Modulation - Poly Detune, and Pitch - Poly Pitch, Poly Wham, Poly Capo, 12-String).
· Instead of a parallel path with two Amp+Cab blocks or two separate Amps and Cabs, try adding a single Amp block followed by a single Cab > Dual block (mixingtwodifferentCabscanprovidesomesubstantialvariations).
· ThestereoversionofaneffectsblockwilluseroughlytwiceasmuchDSPasa mono version of the same block. Likewise, the dual version of a cab block will use roughly twice as much DSP as the single version.
· Some model categories have "Simple" blocks, which utilize less DSP than others.
· EffectsmodelsintheLegacysubcategorygenerally--butnotalways--useless DSP than those in the Mono and Stereo subcategories.

Block Order and Stereo Imaging
The signal path in HX Stomp XL is stereo, carrying two channels of audio. When the device is fed a stereo input source (i.e., when discrete left and right signals are connected into the HX Stomp XL Left and Right input jacks), the source audio is processed discretely in stereo wherever stereo blocks are used within the path. Whenever a mono block is added within a path, both channels of audio are combined and sent out of the block as mono.
Most of the effects models in HX Stomp XL have both mono and stereo versions. A stereo block displays after its model name in the inspector. The stereo imaging--or how wide your tone appears with stereo speakers or headphones--is highly dependent on the type of blocks you add and in what order.
Legacy effects models vary in behavior, just as on the classic Line 6 effects from where these models originated.

· LegacyFilterandReverbeffectsarestereo
TIP: Even if you're running a single amp or other mono playback system, sometimes stereo effects can still sound "fuller" than their mono counterparts. This is especially true with stereo reverbs.

The Blocks
Input
The Input block includes a dedicated noise gate. Threshold and Decay parameters are grayed out unless Knob 1 (Gate) is turned on. The vast majority of the time, you'll want the Input block to be fed from the Main L/MONO and RIGHT inputs. However, you can instead feed the Return L/MONO and RIGHTinputsintothesignalflow,orevenUSBIn5/6forre-ampingpurposes.
From Edit view, turn the Upper Knob to select the Input block and then turn the Lower Knob to change the input.
INPUT MAIN L/R INPUT RETURN L/R INPUT USB 5/6
Main L/R Both the L/MONO and RIGHT inputs are active simultaneously. Normally,
you should choose Input Main L/R.
Return Return L/MONO and RIGHT can act as a stereo Input block for processing L/R keyboards, a drum machine, or even another modeler. If a Return or FX
Loop processing block exists in the preset, the utilized Return input will be non-selectable. See "Send/Return".
USB 5/6 USB inputs 5/6 can be used for processing tracks from your Mac or
Windows DAW software. See "USB Audio".
NOTE: HX Stomp XL also receives input from USB 1/2 and 3/4, but they're dedicated to monitoring audio from your computer (or iPad device) and bypass all processing blocks. As such, USB 1/2 or 3/4 are not available as input block sources.
TIP: The Input block includes a built-in signal present/clip indicator--see page 26.

Adjusts the delay/repeat time, with higher settings providing longer delays. Press the knob to toggle between ms and note values.
Choosingamsvalueprovidesaspecifictimeinmilliseconds;choosing a Note Division value provides a time based on the current tempo. With a note division value, this parameter's value is retained when changing models.

Scale

Delay models with multiple taps have a Scale parameter for each tap, which adjusts its time relative to the main Time value. For example, if the Time parameter is set to 500ms, setting the T1 Scale to "50%" will mean that tap will be at 250ms. If you then adjust the Time parameter, the timing of all the taps will scale accordingly.

ampparameters--thelowertheMasterisset,thelesseffecttheother controls will have.

Sag
Hum Ripple

LowerSagvaluesoffer"tighter"responsivenessforfastermetal performances;highervaluesprovidemoretouchdynamics&sustainfor bluesandclassicrockriffs.
Controls how much heater hum and AC ripple interacts with your tone. At higher settings, things get freaky.

Bias

Changes the bias of the power tubes. Lower values achieve a "colder" Class AB biasing. At maximum, the amp is operating in Class A.

Bias X

Determines how the power amp tubes' voicing reacts when pushed hard. Set low for a tighter feel. Set high for more tube compression. This parameter is highly reactive with the Drive and Master settings.

Amp
Amp blocks are identical to Amp+Cab blocks, except they contain no matched cab model.
Preamp
We've also included a complete set of Preamp versions of each Amp model, which provide the tone of just the preamp stage of the amp--recommended when feeding the HX Stomp XLpedalintothepowerampsectionofyourfavoriteamplifier.You'llalsofind a studio microphone preamp within the Preamp > Mic category.
Preamp blocks require less DSP than a full Amp block.
Cab
There are two subcategories of Cab blocks--Single and Dual. Dual cabs have stereo output, with each cab panned hard left and right. Not surprisingly, dual cabs take twice as much DSP as single cabs.
To change the first cab model in a Cab > Dual block, press PAGE until the left cab icon is bright red and turn the Lower
Knob. To change the second cab, press PAGE until the right cab icon is bright red and turn the Lower Knob.

Impulse Response (IR)
Impulse Responses are mathematical functions representing the sonic measurements ofspecificaudiosystems(forHX Stomp XL, acoustic guitar body resonance, or speaker cabinet and microphone combinations). HX Stomp XL can load and store up to 128 custom or third-party IRs at a time.
TIP: You can get a free pack of IRs right now, available at line6.com/allure, or check out the ever-growing number of custom Helix presets and IR bundles on Line 6 Marketplace.
IR Formats
ForallHelix/HXfamilydevices,aswellasHelixNativeplugin,thefollowingIRfiletypes are supported.
· Helix Impulse Response (.hir) - This is the proprietary Line 6 IR file format. All IRs purchased through the Line 6 Marketplace are of this file type--see "Marketplace" on page 5.
· WAV (.wav) - Most IR producers and vendors typically offer IRs within the .wav format. It is possible to import a mono or stereo .wav file IR, regardless ofitsbitdepth,length,orsampleratefrequency.Uponimport,IR.wavfilesare automatically converted to 48kHz sample rate, 32-bit, mono, and 2,048 sample length for Helix. You can use the HX Edit app's Preferences to set the preferred behavior for importing Stereo WAV IRs (import the left or right channel data of thefile,oramixofboth).
Loading IRs into HX Stomp XL
LoadingImpulseResponsefilesintoHX Stomp XL requires connecting to the HX Edit application in your Mac or Windows computer. The HX Edit application is available as a free download from line6.com/software.
1. Connect HX Stomp XL to your computer via USB and open the HX Edit application.
2. Click the IRs tab.

3. Drag one or more IR files from the desktop or any Finder window directly into the HX Edit application's IRs list (or use the HX Edit IR - Import command).
The HX Edit app updates the HX Stomp XL hardware's IR list automatically. HX Stomp XL can load and store up to 128 IRs at a time.
Loading an IR in an IR Block
Onceyou'veimportedIRfilesintoHX Stomp XL (see the previous section), you can then put them to use by adding one or more IR blocks into your tone. It is recommended to use an Amp block preceding an IR block (rather than an Amp+Cab type block).
1. Turn the Upper Knob to select an empty block location to the right of your Amp block on the signal path.
2. Push the Lower Knob and turn it to select the Impulse Response category.
3. Push the Lower Knob to select Mono, and push again to select 1024-sample IR.
NOTE:Youmayoptionallychoosethehigherfidelity,2048-sampleIR(thereis a max. limit of one 2048-sample IR block per preset, or two 1024-sample IR blocks per preset).

Snapshots
In Play view, a small camera icon appears in the upper right corner of the screen. Its number indicates the current snapshot.

What are Snapshots?
Imagine you have eight pet octopuses, all slithering around your amp and pedalboard. Instead of tap-dancing on your pedals (and accidentally stepping on a tentacle), you shout, "Okay, gang--here's the verse... now!" and your octopuses switch some pedals on,switchotherpedalsoff,andtweakallyourampsandpedals'knobstomakethebest possible settings for your song's verse, all seamlessly with spillover delay and reverb trails. Then you shout, "Ready for the chorus... now!" and your octopuses instantly tweak everything for your song's chorus. That's the power of snapshots.
The only thing your octopuses/snapshots can't do is rearrange your pedalboard or swap outaneffectorampforadifferentone(unlessbotheffectorampblocksexistinthe same preset). Each preset can have up to 64 parameters assigned to Snapshots; hence, eight octopuses with eight tentacles each. The octopuses can remember four separate groups ofon/offstatusesandsettingtweaksperpreset(say,foryourintro, verse, chorus, and overindulgentnoisesegue);thatis,HX Stomp XL has four snapshots per preset.

Each of the four snapshots in HX Stomp XL stores and recalls the state of certain elements in the current preset, including:
· Effect Bypass--Thebypass(on/off)stateofallprocessingblocks(Thebypass state of a Looper block is not stored/recalled via snapshot)
· Parameter Control--The values of any parameters assigned to controllers (up to 64 per preset)
· Command Center--The values of any instant MIDI CC, Bank/Prog, MMC, and HX Preset/Snapshot/Looper messages, plus the state (dim or lit) of any CC Toggle messages. See "Command Center"
· Tempo--The current system tempo, if "Global Settings > MIDI/Tempo" > Tempo Select is set to "Per Snapshot." (By default, it's set to "Per Preset")
Dependingonhowyouconfigurethem,snapshotscanactasfour variations of the same tone, four drastically different tones, or any combination thereof--all within the same preset. In many cases, a single preset's snapshots may accommodate all the various tones required for a song.

Using Snapshots

2. Press one of the four snapshot switches to select a different snapshot.

NOTE: If you don't want Snapshot footswitches to disappear after selecting one, set "Global Settings > Footswitches" > Knob 4 (Snapshot Mode Switches) to "Latch." In this case, HX Stomp XL stays in Snapshot footswitch mode until you press MODE (Edit/Exit).
Alternatively, press the PRESETS knob and turn Knob 2 (Select Snapshot).
NOTE: If you select a snapshot that hasn't yet been altered, it appears the same as the snapshot you came from. As soon as you edit a new snapshot (say,byenablingorbypassinganamporeffectblock),thesnapshotbecomes "active" and remembers any changes.
3. Adjust the preset by doing one or more of the following:
· Turn one or more effects on or off by pressing stomp mode footswitches or pressing the Upper Knob in "Edit View". Snapshots remember every block's on/off state (or you can change this behavior--see "Snapshot Block Bypass On/Off").
· To adjust a parameter AND have it automatically update per snapshot, press and turn the knob.Snapshotsrememberthevaluesofupto64effects parameters. The parameter's value appears white, indicating a controller is assigned to it--in this case, the Snapshots controller:

· On the Command Center page, adjust the Instant messages' values or press a footswitch assigned to CC Toggle, Ext Amp, Qwerty Hotkey, or HX Looper. These Command Center assigned messages are sent when recalling a snapshot--also see "Command Center"
SHORTCUT: Hold ACTION and press a parameter knob to quickly remove any controller assignment (including the Snapshots controller). The value appears in color, indicating no controller is assigned to it.
NOTE: You can also manually assign the Snapshots controller. From the "Controller Assign" page, select the desired block and parameter and turn Knob 2 (Controller) to select "Snapshot."
4. Switch back to the snapshot you started with.
HX Stomp XL instantly and seamlessly returns to its previous state.
NOTE: If you've changed "Global Settings > Preferences" > Snapshot Edits to"Discard,"youmustsavethepresetbeforeselectingadifferentsnapshot; otherwise, any edits will be discarded!

Snapshot Reselect
The "Global Settings > Preferences" > Snapshot Reselect parameter adds even more
flexibilitytotheSnapshotmodefootswitches.Asanexample,sayyou'replayingalong on Snapshot 2 (VERSE), then you press the Snapshot 3 (CHORUS) to load it. What should happen if you press the Snapshot 3 footswitch again? With Snapshot Reselect set to the default "Reload," Snapshot 3 is simply reloaded again. But when set to "Toggle," it will now load the previously loaded snapshot (Snapshot 2, in this example)-- and successive presses of the Snapshot 3 footswitch then continues to toggle between Snapshot 2 and Snapshot 3.

If you want to replace any other blocks that may already be assigned to the footswitch, turn Knob 2 (Assign) to "Replace." Otherwise, leave it set to "Merge," which allows for multiple blocks to be assigned to the same switch.
3. Press Knob 3 (OK).
NOTE: This "touch" behavior for footswitches can be disabled using the Stomp Select option in "Global Settings > Footswitches"
Manual Bypass Assign
A Stomp mode footswitch is the most obvious method for turning blocks on and off, but HX Stomp XL can also engage or bypass a block automatically when moving an expression pedal or via external MIDI. For example, moving EXP 1 forward past the heel down position can enable a Wah or Poly Wham block, and returning EXP 1 to the heel position will bypass it again.
1. Press PAGE and PAGE together to open the Menu.

2. Press Knob 1 (Bypass Assign).

Controller Assign

HX Stomp XL provides a wide variety of tools for controlling your tone during a performance. The most obvious controller would be a connected expression pedal (often assigned to Wah, Pitch Wham, or Volume), but you may also assign footswitches to toggle between two values of a given parameter or parameters or even have parameters instantly change when selecting different snapshots within a preset. Practically any block'sparameterscanbeconfiguredforexternalMIDICCcontrolaswell.
If a parameter has a controller assigned, its value appears with white text:

Time Feedbk Mix

IMPORTANT! Adding a Wah, Pitch Wham, or Poly Wham block automatically assigns it to be controlled by EXP 1. Adding a Volume or Pan block automatically assigns it to be controlled by EXP 2. With a Mission SP1-L6H Line 6 Expression
Pedal, connecting it to HX Stomp XL with a Y-cable will just work, and its built-in toe switch will toggle between any Wah/Pitch Wham/Poly Wham and Volume/ Pan blocks. See page 58.

Assigning a Controller
1. From Stomp mode, press and hold the knob for the parameter you wish to control.
HX Stomp XL jumps to the Controller Assign page and displays your parameter at Knob 1 (Parameter).

Tips for Creative Controller Assignment
· By default, a parameter's Min and Max values will be pretty extreme. It pays to play pretty conservatively here, as subtle parameter adjustments go a long way.
· To smoothly blend between the tone on parallel paths A and B, select a Split > A/B block and assign the Route To parameter to an expression pedal. By default, a heel-down position means the signal passes fully through Path A. Moving the pedal toward the toe-down position will gradually crossfade into Path B. Alternatively, assign a footswitch to control the Route To parameter for instantly switching back and forth.
· If you're looking for an ultra-clean boost, instead of adding a Volume/Pan > Gain block, try assigning a footswitch to increase the Level parameter of a Mixer or Output block.
· If you have a favorite delay or reverb pedal, use an FX Loop block to insert it into your tone. Assign EXP 1 or 2 to control the block's Mix parameter, which will smoothly blend the pedal into your tone.
· For extreme psychedelic dub delay squeals, assign a footswitch to both increase a Delay's feedback, and decrease its time.
· Assign a footswitch to toggle between two Delay > Time parameter values, such as 1/4 and 1/8 dotted.
· Assign IR Select to a footswitch. Set the two IRs as min and max values. Now you can instantly toggle between them.

Command Center
HX Stomp XL is also capable of acting as a master remote control for your other live performance or studio gear. Each of its Stomp mode footswitches and expression pedals can be used to send a variety of messages:
· Transmit MIDI CC, Program Change, Note, and MMC commands to your guitar amps, pedals, synths, or even other modelers.
· Send QWERTY Hotkey messages, emulating a computer keyboard, to practically any software to control it from your device (see "QWERTY Hotkey Commands" on page 51).
· Configurefootswitchestoexpandyourdevice'sStompmodewithadditionalcontrol functions (see "HX Preset, Snapshot, and Looper Commands" on page 52).
· In addition, up to six "Instant" commands can be transmitted automatically whenanHXEffectspresetisrecalled,forstartingyourDAW,triggeringaMIDIcontrolled lighting system, or switching presets on external gear.
All Command Center assignments are stored per preset, but they can be copied and pasted to other presets (see "Copying and Pasting a Command").
NOTE: The Value parameters of any instant MIDI CC, Bank/Prog, MMC, and HX Looper messages, plus the state (dim or lit) of any CC Toggle messages, are automatically recalled when selecting a snapshot.
NOTE: By default, all MIDI-based Command Center messages are transmitted via MIDI and USB simultaneously. You can customize MIDI behaviors using the "Global Settings > MIDI/Tempo" options.

Mission Helix Expression Pedal
By default, the HX Stomp XL EXP 1/2 | FS7/8 jack is set up to accommodate the Mission Helix expression pedal, connected via an optional Y cable (sometimes called a TRS insert cable). The main advantage of this setup is that pressing the integrated toe switch will not only toggle the pedal's function between EXP 1 (Wah/Pitch Wham/ PolyWham/PolyBass Wham) and EXP 2 (Volume Pedal/ Pan), but it will also toggle the appropriate blocks on and off.

Hardware Monitoring vs. DAW Software Monitoring
HX Stomp XL provides hardware monitoring, which lets you hear your live input signal at all times, independent of your DAW software's monitor settings. Hardware monitoring can be desirable since it allows you to hear your live guitar with HX processing added and essentially "latency-free," since the monitor signal is not routed through your DAW software.
In some DAW recording scenarios, it may be preferable to utilize your recording application's "input monitoring" or "software monitoring" feature, which routes your live input signal through the armed recording track, thus allowing you to monitor the input effectedbyanypluginsyoumayhaveinsertedonthetrack.TheonedownsideofDAW software monitoring, however, is that your live input signal will be delayed slightly due to being routed through the software and back to HX Stomp XL's outputs, which is referred to as "latency." HX Stomp XL is designed to provide very low latency operation-- see "ASIO Driver Settings (Windows only)" for info and settings.
When a DAW track's software monitoring is active, you'll likely not want to hear the HX Stomp XL hardware monitoring signal simultaneously. To achieve this, it is best to use the HX Stomp XL USB 5/6 inputs as your DAW audio track's input source and select the Main L/R Output block on HX Stomp XL and turn its Level all the way down. This configurationallowsyoutohearandrecordonlythedry,DIsignalfromHX Stomp XL into your audio track. (See the next section for more on recording a DI track.)

DI Recording and Re-amping

A common DAW recording technique is to record a dry DI (Direct Input) signal, such as the unprocessed signal from your guitar. This lets you process the DI track later with plugins (such as the Helix Native plugin), and/or "re-amp" the DI track through an amp or other outboard gear. HX Stomp XL has handy options built right in for recording DI tracks,aswellasforeasyre-amplificationofDItracksbackthroughyourownHX Stomp XL tones, all without extra hardware or cabling!
HX Stomp XLofferstwospecialDIoutputs--USBOuts5and6,whicharefeddirectly from the Main L/MONO and RIGHT inputs. Also, note that USB Outs 7 and 8 are fed directly (unprocessed) from the Return/Aux In L/MONO and RIGHT inputs for simultaneously tracking a stereo digital piano, synth, drum machine, or other device.

Recording a Dry DI Track
For this example, we'll record guitar into two DAW tracks simultaneously, with one capturing the processed tone and the other the unprocessed DI guitar.

3. Arm both these DAW audio tracks, hit the Record button and start laying down your guitar performance!
Now you have your processed track to hear with the project and a separate DI track with which you can further experiment at any time with DAW plugins and/or re-amping (see the next section).

Re-amping Through HX Stomp XL
Now let's take the dry DI guitar track we recorded and route it back through HX Stomp XL for processing.

1. Create two new audio tracks in your DAW software project:
Create one mono track to record the dry DI guitar, and set the track's input to HX Stomp XL USB 5.
Create one stereo track to record your full, stereo, processed tone and set the track's input to HX Stomp XL USB 1/2.
2. Set both tracks' outputs, as well as the DAW Master output to HX Stomp XL USB 1/2 to allow all tracks to play back through HX Stomp XL.

1. From Play view, turn the Upper Knob to select the Input block and then turn the Lower Knob to choose "Input USB 5/6."
You'll see that a small USB icon has replaced the Input block (also see "Signal Present and Clip Indicators"):

INPUT MAIN L/R

INPUT USB 5/6

2. In your DAW software, set the DI track's Output setting to HX Stomp XL USB 5/6.

3. Create a new stereo track in your DAW project and set both its Input and Output to USB 1/2. Arm the track for recording.
NOTE: In some DAW software, it may be necessary to also activate the software monitoring feature on this "re-amped" track to monitor the processed signal when playing back your project. See your software's documentation.
4. Now play your DAW project and you'll hear the DI track "reamped" through HX Stomp XL! Tweak your amp & effects blocks as desired while listening with the playback of your project mix.
5. Once you have your re-amplified guitar tone they way you like it, Solo both the DI and re-amped tracks, rewind to the start of the project and hit the DAW Record button, allowing it to capture the signal into the new re-amped track in real-time.
Allow the DI track to play to the end, stop recording, and you've created your new reamped guitar track!
TIP: Note that you still have your original Guitar DI track, and you can repeat this processtocreateadditionalre-ampedtrackswithdifferentHX Stomp XL settings, add plugins, blend with your original guitar track, and more.
Re-amping is powerful but really slow. Isn't there an easier way?
Absolutely! Instead of routing your dry DI guitar tracks through HX Stomp XL and then re-tracking everything in real-time (something that can take forever if you have a long song with many guitar and bass tracks to re-amp), you can simply insert the Line 6 Helix Native plugin on each track. Helix Native lets you apply the DSP horsepower of HX Stomp XL (and more!) to any of your production's tracks (including vocals, keyboards, synths, drums, busses, or more), without having to deal with routing or re-amping. You can also export any of your HX Stomp XL device presets and import them directly into Helix Native plugin!
Core Audio Driver Settings (macOS only)
To use HX Stomp XL as an audio interface for Mac applications, it is unnecessary to install any additional driver. HX Stomp XL will automatically utilize the Mac computer's "Class Compliant" USB driver when connected to your USB port. HX Stomp XL will then appear as a selectable Core Audio device within the Mac Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup panel and/or directly within your DAW host and multimedia applications. However, note thatthisAppleClassCompliantdriveroffersstrictly48kHznativesamplerateoperation.

Ifyouprefertouseadifferentnativesamplerate(orifyourparticularDAWapplication requires it), you can optionally download and install the Line 6 Helix Mac Core Audio driver from line6.com/software. This Line 6 driver (version 1.1.0 or later) supports HX Stomp XL, as well as all Helix devices, and offers 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88kHz, or 96kHz sample rate operation.
ASIO Driver Settings (Windows only)
When using HX Stomp XL as an audio interface for Windows DAW applications, it is highlyrecommendedtoconfigurethesoftwaretoutilizetheHX Stomp "ASIO" driver. The Line 6 HX StompASIOdriveroffersthesuperior,low-latencyaudioperformance required for DAW recording. This driver selection is typically found in your DAW software's Preferences or Options dialog - see your software's documentation.
NOTE: Download and install the latest Line 6 HX Stomp ASIO driver from line6.com/software. This ASIO driver is also automatically installed with the latest HX Edit application installer, and supports both HX Stomp and HX Stomp XL devices.
Once the HX Stomp ASIO driver has been installed and your HX Stomp XL device connected to your PC, you can select it as your ASIO audio device within your DAW host application (typically found in the application's Preferences or Audio Settings). Note that HX Stomp XL will typically appear as "ASIO HX Stomp" within your DAW host application. Once selected as the software's ASIO device, you'll also see a button in the same dialog for "ASIO Settings" (or with a similar title). Press this button to launch the HX Stomp XL Control Panel, where you make the following driver settings.
