I already have all the pedals that make up the core of my tone. I’ve been looking into some pretty expensive pedals for some one-off effects that I don’t use as often. This fits the bill really well. This pedal is 100% for me and I will be buying one. Edit: ended up buying one “used” for 250 (used is in quotes here because when it arrived it was clear that it was absolutely brand new) and I couldn’t be happier. It was absolutely the right decision.

@gabeadams87 9 ай бұрын

Agreed. Even a POG pico is $240. If I opt for a fancy harmony effect like the Hedra, that's $300. So, the HX One (perhaps used, or with a discount code), is worth it for the harmony/octave effects alone. Combine that with a looper and tuner...I think it's worth it. I use a UA Ruby for amp sim, so I don't need it to be my amp anyway.

@TheDilligan 9 ай бұрын

Have you looked into the Zoom Multi Stomp or the M5? Both are half the price of this new pedal. The multi stomp has many effects Line6 doesn’t have (especially if you download the effects manager software that someone made online. It lets you load in effects from other zoom products). And it can do amp modeling and up to 6 effects at once. Or the Line6 M5, which is really what this thing is designed to replace. The M5 has all of the legacy effects, which make up about half of what is in this new pedal. As an owner of the Hx stomp, I can say I actually do use the legacy effects often because some of them are better or just as good as the new versions of those effects. The new “dynamic” series of reverbs are better and I do like the Transistor Tape Delay. But otherwise, I’m usually using those legacy effects. They completely hold up - even the overdrives.

Folks keep yammering on about this not being anything anyone asked for... which is objectively false. It's clearly the replacement and update of the M5 which has a very loyal following and still lives on many pro player boards. It runs on a standard 9V power supply, and takes up a regular pedal space on a board. It's a swiss army knife for people who have zero interest or use in the Stomp or full Helix. The argument that it's not a good value, because "it's only one effect" is also nonsense, when people fall all over themselves throwing money at less capable Eventide and UA one trick pony pedals. If it's not for you, that's cool. They're still going to sell like hotcakes.

Poly Pitch was my first thought as well, however the fact that it can do poly pitch at all with however much DSP this thing has proves they could easily do two fx combos. And in my opinion they could easily do this without comprising the vision of simplicity. Just do combo fx blocks that preset a reverb and a delay, like a UA Del Verb. Or a compressor/boost drive combo. It doesn’t have to be menu divey in order to offer far more bang for buck.

I'm not in the target market, but I'm almost certain I'll pick one up from the used market when 2nd hand prices get down around the $200 mark just to try out. These things are toys for 99% of consumers after all.

My first thought was that this is an add-on for current modeler users. I never look at the DSP-devouring pitch effects because of the compromises I’d have to make in my Helix. I play in church, where key changes for the same songs are the norm. I’d consider one of these before I would a Digitech drop pedal. To me, this means Helix 2 is not coming anytime soon.

I used the M5 before for the stomp, but it is too large and the new Helix stuff sounds better imo. The HX stomp could probably replace my full setup alone, but I really like pedals and never really got comfortable with modelling.

However, on my *other* pedalboard, this might find a place eventually. I used to have a Digitech iStomp back in the day which was way before its time and it was a failure for the company. It was a pedal that you could install any one of a dozen or so effects; super flexible for its time. The M5 and the HX One feel similar to me. Again, I'll probably wind up with one once the price is right.

@TheDilligan How does this differ from the M5? Does it just have more tones/options, and/or improved tone quality? They’re both Line6 single-effect-at-a-time pedals, so…..?

@TheDilligan 9 ай бұрын

@@pwlebrun4573 So Line6 used to have the "4 series" of effects pedals. The most famous one of course is the DL4. They then had the M-Series of multi-effects units, which would combine all of the 4-series effects together. The M13 can do 4 of these effects at once, the M9 can do three, the M5 can do one effect at a time. Now Line6 has progressed past the M-series and does the HX series. The effects models from the M-series are included in all of the HX units under the category of "legacy". None of those old effects are bad, but they are from a previous generation of effects modeling. The HX pedals have way more effects. Some of them are modern redo's of those legacy effects and others are totally new. The HX EFfects and HX one are the closest thing to the M series, while The HX stomp and Helix also include Amp modeling more complex signal routing. Also, Unlike the M series, the HX series receives updates. Line6 releases updates couple times a year, adding new effects and new amps. So the HX one has all of the HX effects, but none of the amps. This includes all of the legacy effects as well that come in the M5. Additionally I think there are upgrades to the hardware, A/D conversion, and higher internal sample rates. None of this makes the M5 bad. But the HX one would indeed have every effect the M5 has, sound a little better on those effects, has about 140 additional effects and will probably be included in future updates.

@captainprivate3768 2 ай бұрын

I think it's a great idea. I have a headrush so I'm not exactly modeler-phobic. I also have a pedalboard and know the pain of trying to fit everything you want on. If I want a tremolo for one song only, a phaser for another and a space echo for another I have just saved 2 slots on my board by having this (and probably money too). I generally enjoy having limited options, if I'm honest. Making patches on modelers for me generally results in option paralysis and getting frustrated. I can choose from 7 different fuzzes on a modeler or buy one fuzz and squeeze what I can out of it. This isn't silly. People made unbelievable records with limited equipment as the norm until recently.

From a psychology and marketing standpoint, these might sell better if they limited it to only reverbs, with a metallic gray paintjob for example (same price), and then maybe a gold one that's only the drives, green one only delays and so on. Seems counterintuitive, but the way it would be perceived is more like a premium reverb (with trails, midi, many different reverbs, presets), premium modulation etc. And there'd be no complaint about "only 1 effect at a time." I've seen other brands release identical hardware with different paintjobs and software loaded inside. If you wanted to use this sometimes as a drive and sometimes as a delay, most likely you'd then also need some kind of pedal order switcher to put it in the correct spot in the chain. While this can be viewed as a versatile pedal for any one spot in the chain, it's not as likely that a guitarist (without an FX order switcher) will be able to use both the drives and reverbs in any one rig. But if they made them for each effect type, in fun colors pedalboard enthusiasts enjoy, the perception would be different. I see this with BOSS, where people have OD-200, MD-200, IR-200 and DD-200 and Im just like "that's an expensive way to buy a GT-1000CORE". But also I'm old enough to remember Voltron/GoLion, and forming something big out of smaller, colorful pieces has a certain charm to it.

Is the replacement to the M5 but for the Helix Universe. You can use the ins and outs to place it pre or post drive pedals. It’s good for those who want to explore the Helix tones at a lower price point. That being said, 299 is too high, 199-249 would be a better price range.

This could replace 3 or 4 pedals and be quality too. But, many people don’t gig. For them I think they want something that does more, like the hx stomp. It’s good value and maybe cheap enough for many to buy one just to cover gaps in their fx arsenal. I was hoping for a reduced version of the hx stomp with maybe 4 slots, fewer amp models and cabs but great delays and reverbs.

Like a lot of L6 products this is almost a product I want. If it could run like 4 blocks and had an analog dry path I wouldn’t hesitate to prioritize this as my next pedal buy. As it is it seems pretty limited in capabilities. It is basically a more expensive and updated m5. Now the m5 was pretty great at the time and I think a used one is a great buy for someone getting into pedals.. the price point of this I think makes it too steep to recommend for that role.

I think the pedal is fucking awesome, i got it today. It has a ton of different effects, and to me the ones i use most (delay, chorus, reverb, flange, OD, distortion, fuzz, etc) they all sound great to me. Of course you’re gonna have some in there that you’ll never use and sound weird, but for the price, the look, the size, the incredible tweak ability of settings, it’s an absolute steal for the price. If you bought all the one trick pony pedals this thing offers (that literally often sound no better and sometimes even worse than this), you’d be paying thousands.

I got the impression this was like the HX FX so no amp modelling. This might detract from the intention of the product to reel in some knob twisting pedal purists (Strymon meris SA style) (also I love my individual FX pedals for the quick knob twist so it wasn't meant as an insult) but to have it do 1 amp/can model or amp only for when you have a Poweramp as well might add to its flexibility and then people can twist knobs on FX pedals, so it ould be an iridium Friedman competitor or the 1 FX competitor. But for more than half the price in AU ($649) of an HX stomp ($900-$1100) when a great poly pitch FX like ehx pitch fork in a nano format is less than $300. If it was more towards $400 for the flexibility and had the option for amp modelling (it would then gain the criticism for not having dual amp or something so I can understand why it's not there) I think it would be more compelling. But i have the small stomp and a helix so less interested esp for the price. I'd recommend the hx stomp over it everytime even as a 2 fx unit (twice the size) to compete with the Strymon meris SA UA style pedals. IMHO

This is targeted to h9 users and the like and bring them closer to the helix ecosystem.. which is likely to drop its new version soon, or another great update. The h9, let's face it, while still and awesome unit Eventide essentially abandoned those users with the release of the h90. This unit, like the H9, is best used with a midi capable looper/switch system, where you can change the order in the fx chain (think gigrig and the like).

I’m gonna be honest here, I would way rather have $130 zoom MS50G, which can do multiple effects at once, rather than this HX one… I love my Zoom and use it live professionally all on its own, several times a month. My pedal board is all Strymon midnight series (with the stryfecta), and I have had people ask me what is on my board when I was only using the Zoom.

I use the HX Stomp. I don't need the HX One. But its obvious that they are not aiming for me. For a traditional pedalboard player who doesn't use a ton of fx, something like the HX One would be very cool. BUT I think it is too expensive. I'd rather pickup an M5. Yes, I would be missing the latest additional fx that have been added post the M series, but it would still provide the sort of functionality of the HX One at half the price. If the HX One was $150, I might actually buy one. It would provide a way to use the polyphonic fx and still have enough DSP to build a full signal chain.

When two of three, single-effect Pedals cost more than 250 useful Effects in one Pedal, which person is the crazy consumer? The more I think about it, this may have been a very smart move by Line 6.

I think that marketing wise, it is an attractive pedal to someone who has not yet dived into the world of multi effects and has resisted it. However as someone who has used multi effects, it still just isn’t something I’d recommend to them for the price. I think there are a lot of better alternatives for the money, depending on your needs. And if you want it as a variable pedal to take on different needs and fill-in-the-blank on your board, I’d still say the HX stomp is 10 times more valuable for for 2 times the price, the Zoom Multistomp which is more valuable in many ways for only half the price, or the Line6 M5 which has most of the same effects and features for half the price. Honestly I do hope it leads to people selling their M5s really cheap because I’d totally snag one of those. Lol

I will add, one thing this unit has going for it is that it will probably included in Line6 updates with new effects while the M5 just has what it has and that’s it. Although I hope this doesn’t mean they are discontinuing the M5 because that’s such a cool pedal at a great price.

I don't see the value. For $299, you can get a Source Audio Collider that does Reverb and Delay. This only does 1 effect at at time. It should have support 2 effects (call it Helix Duo). As a Helix LT user, this doesn't add enough for the price. I have use cases where I wish I had another block, esp on my A path (I have 2 amps on there). If I were going to expand my LT, I would use HX Stomp that gives me an additional 8 blocks.

I could NOT figure out any use for this thing when I saw it. Extremely confused at who this was aimed at and who would actually buy it. I just don't get where you would put this in your chain.

If it does, it has a specific place in the chain for you, which makes the other effects kind of useless.
