HX Stomp uses the same HX models as the rest of the Helix family. Its library includes familiar American combos, British stacks, modern high-gain designs, boutique amplifiers, and original Line 6 creations. Examples include:
- Fender Deluxe Reverb models for clear American cleans and edge-of-breakup sounds.
- Vox AC30 models for chime, compression, and upper-midrange bite.
- Marshall JCM800 and Plexi models for classic British crunch.
- Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier, Peavey 6505, and Revv Generator models for modern high-gain tones.
- Bass models based on amplifiers such as the Ampeg SVT and Gallien-Krueger 800RB. ::
Effects
The pedal includes more than 300 amp, cabinet, and effect models drawn from Helix, Line 6 M-Series processors, and earlier Line 6 products. Its effects cover compression, overdrive, fuzz, pitch shifting, modulation, delay, reverb, filters, and looping. Up to eight blocks can be placed in a preset, subject to available DSP, and the stereo effects loop can insert external pedals at a chosen point in the signal chain.
Features
Key features of the HX Stomp include:
- The same core HX modeling engine and model library used by Helix processors.
- Up to eight simultaneous blocks, with flexible serial and parallel signal paths.
- Support for third-party cabinet impulse responses and updated Helix cabinet models.
- Three capacitive-touch footswitches with colored LED rings, plus connections for external switches and expression pedals.
- MIDI input and output for preset changes and parameter control.
- A multi-channel 24-bit/96 kHz USB audio interface with DI recording and re-amping support.
- Balanced outputs, stereo inputs, headphones, and a stereo effects loop in a pedalboard-friendly enclosure.
Players
HX Stomp is widely used as a fly rig, compact bass rig, studio interface, backup for a larger modeler, or an amp-and-cab block at the end of a traditional pedalboard. Touring guitarists value its small footprint and consistent direct sound, while home recordists can build and re-amp complete tones without a separate amplifier or interface.
Legacy
The Line 6 HX Stomp made the Helix platform practical for musicians who did not want a full-size floorboard. Continued firmware updates and access to the larger Helix ecosystem have helped it remain one of the most visible compact modelers years after its release.
