What a taste and musical touch you have... And it seems you know so much melodies, from the 70's to now... And it also seems you could play everything! The starting music, kind "dark" and sweet, was so beautiful... So nice to see what a strat can do as well.... Great!
I think this works great for you. I am not able to deal with such complex and complicated devices. Amp, Booster, Overdrive, reverb and delay. That's it for me.
Fantastic intro Dave - took me back in time to better days when people played to take you out of yourself rather than to just take your money (business). Can think of no better player than you to get the best out of the HX. As Jimi said - "shine on Mr business man you can't dress like me.
Dave, ahhhh what can i say? You areeeeee ahhhhh so fu****** awesome. Man you feel the music, you are music. Thanks for that Intro. Please Recording these songs. Sorry for my bad english.
Very cool. Planned on watching this yesterday. But, I spent an ungodly amount of time fighting with my Ditto Stereo Looper. I ordered one from Sweetwater and was super excited to use it. Then, I saw that the dorks at TC Electronics didn't include an actual manual. Nothing but a stupid fucking piece of paper with what was basically a diagram that didn't tell you shit. Went online to see what the manual actually says and I died laughing at how absurd the whole situation was. Once I read through the ONLINE manual, I was able to figure out some stuff that the damn piece of paper made no mention of at all. Seriously, I was ready to send it back. But, now, all is well. Fantastic video, as usual, Dave. Hope ya don't mind the babble about the looper. LOL Besides, your videos are what made me want one of these, to begin with. So, I think that it applies. LOL
Question dude if I have a Friedman small box 50 and I’m good to run this thru the fx loop ? Would that be the best way to do it? I want to use the distortion from my amp and mostly use this for jet pedal effects just like a delay and a reverb maybe an octave. Sorry if you already explained something like this in the video. At work and didn’t have the time to watch the whole thing
@@thedavesimpson youll nail it man, I am so impressed with your skills. I think youve been playing around 16 years and man if thats true then you have worked your ass off. I've been playing rhythm for 28 and cant touch you, maybe on rhythm but thats it :) big kudos to you dave, I am definately addiccted to you man.
Hey dave took your advice and passed on trading my sg standard for a bandmaster. Came across an offer and traded for a brand new 65 deluxe reverb and love it! Thanks for the advice can you jump both channels with deluxe like with a bassman or plexii? Thanks again! Your the best man!
Generally the Fender blackface amps with reverb (and or vibrato) on ch.2 don't work well jumpered because the channels are out of phase with each other and result in a very thin, weedy sound. My old '65 Bassman was awesome jumpered because the channels were in phase and I used it that way most of the time.
Dave my good man, I know you are busy but I was wondwering if you would be able to recommend whether I should run the HX straight into the front of my amp or into the fx loop? Thx so much and love your content👊
Yes Dave you spend 50% of your time on preset 1 😁😁😁 And 99% on preset 3 with univibe just like l do 😁😁😁 l thought the bloody police were gonna turn up when star spangled kicked in absolutely amazing Hendrix jam, and a bit of trower as well, nice ambient string sound at the end 👍👍👍👍
Dave, pls your opinion. Hx effects or hx stomp. Is worth the amp sim instead losing switches and blocks? Is an important issue to play to FOH and to not have amp on stage? Small stages, in ear, foh, soon or later will be probably the time to say bye to the amps...
Hi Dave! Maybe not super relevant for this video, but I have a queastion. I own a Fender Mustang V2 Amp with an Boss DS-2. Everytime I use the Boss DS-2 the volume goes through the roof, do you know a way to fix this? Thanks!
Adjust the level on the DS-2. Toggle the switch on and off and adjust level to get the stomp volume where you need it. You'll manage the dirt with the distortion knob.
The stomp if you want amp and cabinet modeling, and are on a budget. Also depends on how many effects you run at one time. The HX Stomp gives you six blocks. 1 - 2 blocks can be taken up by amp and cab, leaving 4-5 potentially for effects. I have the stomp, and am thinking of going for the FX so I can get the best of both worlds (amp, cabinet, and impulse response + oodles of effects) by combining them.
:) Cheers Dave there is a tone room type thing on the line6 site that people can share settings,,though ive never uploaded any,,im using the HXFX four cable through a Bluguitar amp1 ,,al on my pedal board @@thedavesimpson
@@thedavesimpson It would be awesome if you could upload those patches or maybe do a vid on how you achieved those tones , I have HX effects love it but need some guidance. TIA Rob
@@thedavesimpson You actually SOLD amps???!!! Recalling the video where you showed all of the amps that were around your house, I'm shocked! LOL Well, hope they went to a good home.
I think the Katana 50 is a little more versatile. The Champion 50XL sounds great, but I get a lot more mileage out of the Katana 50 (including the acoustic setting, which is acceptable for acoustic guitar, and more than acceptable for inputting the line 6 HX Stomp (very little color). Clean and crunch tones on Katana are both decent. Champion XL really kills clean, but not much else IMHO.

Sweet , please do on your q+a today the intro to voodoo child. I need this worth than air bud
I'll try and get it in one time. : )

Cool man! With that machine gun tone are you using the arbitrator fuzz (fuzz face model) or the line 6 drive? Cheers!
Its just the line 6 drive on top of the tubescreamer. : )

You can do this but there is not much point to it, it doesn't really sound any better or worse than the custom channel by itself imo :)

Dave my good man, I know you are busy but I was wondwering if you would be able to recommend whether I should run the HX straight into the front of my amp or into the fx loop? Thx so much and love your content👊
I prefer the front end myself but try both and see which one you prefer. :)
@@thedavesimpson You're a legend Dave,.. ty :)
First :)
Yes Dave you spend 50% of your time on preset 1 😁😁😁 And 99% on preset 3 with univibe just like l do 😁😁😁 l thought the bloody police were gonna turn up when star spangled kicked in absolutely amazing Hendrix jam, and a bit of trower as well, nice ambient string sound at the end 👍👍👍👍
Thank yu. : )
Hey Dave! How do you connect HX to your amp? Straight in front end, or in effects loop? Or other? 👍🏻
Its run straight into the front end. : )
Can you use the built in looper along with multiple effects? Or is it either the looper or effects?
You can indeed do that. :)
Dave, pls your opinion. Hx effects or hx stomp. Is worth the amp sim instead losing switches and blocks? Is an important issue to play to FOH and to not have amp on stage? Small stages, in ear, foh, soon or later will be probably the time to say bye to the amps...
I would personally go for the hx over the stomp. : )
thanks :)
Dave can I use the HX with the katana and a wah pedal well? Should I use the accoustic mode?
You can indeed and i would experiment with different modes to see what will work best for you. :)
Hi Dave! Maybe not super relevant for this video, but I have a queastion. I own a Fender Mustang V2 Amp with an Boss DS-2. Everytime I use the Boss DS-2 the volume goes through the roof, do you know a way to fix this? Thanks!
Adjust the level on the DS-2. Toggle the switch on and off and adjust level to get the stomp volume where you need it. You'll manage the dirt with the distortion knob.
What Jeff said but also put a tiny bit of overdrive before it for a tiny bit of compression.
You need to give the DS2 a slightly overdriven signal for it to behave. It hates a cleans amp. You will need to overdrive your amp slightly. :)
@@thedavesimpson Thanks guys!
36:00 sends back to maggot.
If I were to get this pedal I would just go for some of the same effects because I already have been seduced now ;)
This or the new stomp?
The stomp if you want amp and cabinet modeling, and are on a budget. Also depends on how many effects you run at one time. The HX Stomp gives you six blocks. 1 - 2 blocks can be taken up by amp and cab, leaving 4-5 potentially for effects.

I would personally go for the HX over the stomp. :)
Dave Simpson the only reason I’m debating the 2 is because of how compact the stomp, but I think I’ll go with the FX :)
Hate to be a bore lol,,but any chance you could share the presets :)
Ditto. You got some good tonez there.
I'll see what I can do. :)

Dude, where’s half your amps and cabs gone?
I have sold a few that I no longer use. :)
@@thedavesimpson You actually SOLD amps???!!! Recalling the video where you showed all of the amps that were around your house, I'm shocked! LOL Well, hope they went to a good home.
Please I need help. Wich amp la better the katana 50 , theCode 50 or Fender Champion 50xl? Thank's everyone
Katana 50 by a mile
I think the Katana 50 is a little more versatile. The Champion 50XL sounds great, but I get a lot more mileage out of the Katana 50 (including the acoustic setting, which is acceptable for acoustic guitar, and more than acceptable for inputting the line 6 HX Stomp (very little color). Clean and crunch tones on Katana are both decent. Champion XL really kills clean, but not much else IMHO.
A lot of people seem to like the Katana 50. Personally, I fucking despise modeling amps. But, that's only my point of view.
@@LauraSquirrel so you will choose the Marshall or Fender ? XD thank's
@@Jamesrimmer thank's for your help
