Thank you so much thus was very helpful. I didnt know whether i could switch through presets with a double tap tempo button, that being the only sticking point for me. I’m completely sold on it now.
Awesome, happy to have helped out!
Hi thank you very much for this informative video! I was jsut wondering does this pedal have preset strat model sounds ? thank you!
*edit* at 9:31, the Insert Position is the other way around - Pre and Post describe the placement of the amp in relation to the HX One, not the HX One in relation to the amp. Put your Drives on Post and your Delays on Pre.
Thank you for the clarification. I still struggle to understand how to save presets pre or post. It would be really stupid if one must decide where to use the HX One within the signal chain and this choice could not be made on preset level.
@@laszloszecsenyi9677 The Pre/Post position is saved on a per-preset basis (as well as the input gate controls)
@@KaiDown Thanks, Kai. I just cannot find any corresponding setting on preset level.
@@laszloszecsenyi9677 Some of the settings in the menu automatically save on a preset level - if you look in the Settings View Options in the manual, you can see whether the setting is applied Per Preset or Global. Input Gate, Impedance, and Pre/Post are going to automatically save with your preset, pretty much everything else is global. This means that pre/post will stick to whatever you had it assigned to when you saved the preset.
@@KaiDown Great, very much appreciated.
cool video thx!
Thanks for checking it out!
very fine and detailed summary of the manual. Well done!
One question: can I use the on/off button as a momentary switch, for example to use the tremolo only the the switch is pressed?
Unfortunately not, I would’ve loved that though!
maybe in a future update @@KaiDown
Hello Kai. I have one of these on order at present. Would you be able to advise if the Flux feature can be used to change an octave up to an octave down, when using the octave? Thanks. Phil
It can! Flux can control any parameter - I would recommend using a “Wham” block for this so that the sweep is smoother, if you do it with the regular pitch blocks it’ll step through in semitones
Nice video, cheers. Don't suppose you came across a momentary footswitch setting?
There isn’t one, at least not at launch. Really hoping they add it
Thanks for the overview Kai. Did you mention that the stock presets have to be over written to save eg a user defined effect parameter and that the PC app cannot be used to edit effect parameters? Cheers
I did mention that there are no user slots by default and that you need to overwrite the Factory Presets, but I didn't cover the Line 6 Librarian app. It's true that it can't be use to tweak parameters or settings for effects, though you are able to rename, reorder, import and export presets from the Librarian.
@@KaiDown Thanks. I guess DSP might be the limiting issue for that. It's a pity that user slots aren't standard though.
@@keithb5612 I think I've just figured out why there's no empty slots - since it's a single effect unit, there is no option to load a blank block. Therefore, all of the "Blank" presets would still have some effect loaded onto them. I do think I'd like a desktop editor, especially for batching presets into pre/post for the 4CM routing.
@@KaiDown Thanks again for pointing this out. I just presumed that empty user slots would be standard as in eg HX Stomp. Cheers
Would this work for djng mixing? BPM detection?
One thing I can’t seem to find anywhere online, will it send midi clock messages to other pedals without the use of an external controller like the other helix models? For example, can I use the tap on the hx one to set the midi clock for my timeline?
MIDI Clock isn't something I've messed around with, but the Owner's Manual says the following: HX One does not transmit MIDI for any of its own actions, but will pass incoming MIDI control and MIDI Clock out via its MIDI OUT/THRU and USB MIDI ports.
Out of curiosity can the PC app be used to organize and edit the effects/parameters/pedal settings?
The PC app can’t edit the parameters or the choice of effects - it’s essentially just a list of presets, which you can rename, import, export, backup and reorder
I'm trying to save a model called 'Rez Synth' as a preset, but this isn't possible. Why is that? When I hit save it shows a different preset (In my case Muntant Filter 005)
Can I combine gate and some effect or it allows only on “pedal” to be used at the same time?
There's a noise gate in the global settings, this can work with any other effect
I'm curious if the midi in and out can be run into the Stomp and used as a normal block in the chain. This way it would allow for different presets to go right into different effects on the unit.
Stomp automatically sends preset change messages - if you switch to the 5th preset on Stomp, it’ll switch to the 5th preset on the HX One too. Just gotta set up the order of your presets to sync between the two units
@@KaiDown Very cool! Thank you!
@@KaiDown
Is this only possible with the HX family? I have an Ampero 2 Stage and my HX One is about to arrive. Thanks :)
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 you can, sort of.. You'll have to assign the min and max values as your Flux control, and use the expression pedal to sweep the Flux.
@@KaiDown thank you
One effect at a time? No drive+delay+rev, for example?
That’s correct
🖤
cant seem to Save Existing NAME into a user preset? unless its already in the Preset list
How do you mean? You can overwrite the preset name
you have input each letter manually
I need to repeat to myself, I don't need this pedal 😅
Oh, just wait until the review 🤯
You dont for over 300 bucks you should be able to use multiple FX in one preset. What a waste of money this is
@@Thrive-Off-GridYou sound whiny do you want some cheese with that?
@@Yamallama585 You sound mentally challenged, did you hit your head as a child
Well I do. I use a TONEX now and I think I need one, if not 2. 😊
I have an HX zero, its fully analog, and has zero blocks
I love those, I have a few on and off my board
The modern Line 6 M5 - I like the functions, i like the form factor but the price makes it uninteresting. If it was 100-150, I'd say it's a must for every pedal board.
You need to calculate for inflation - the M5 launched at £170 in 2011, which is £238 in today's money. The two units sit around the same price.
Hey you sound kind of clueless Grandma
Looks like an M5 with a new dress.
Pretty much - everything the M5 can do is built into this unit, but it's also been expanded in pretty much every direction, save for the physical size.
Kai Down should Slow Down .... joke - great Vid Thxs
There's a lot to absorb here and you were talking rather fast. This video worked better for me once I slowed it down to .75.
