Line 6 - HX Stomp XL

Step Beyond

HX Stomp™ is a professional-grade amp and effects processor that delivers the sound of Helix^® in an ultra-compact pedal. The same SHARC^® DSP chip found in our flagship Helix processor enables HX Stomp to run up to eight processing blocks simultaneously, with pristine audio quality, making it the most powerful and flexible stompbox-sized amp and effects processor currently available. Use it as a “super stompbox,” a backup or travel rig, an add-on tone expander with other modelers, a professional-quality audio interface that simplifies home recording, or even a complete guitar or bass rig.  

HX Stomp also contains the same HX^® models found in Helix products—more than 300 amps, cabs, and effects, including world-class polyphonic pitch-shifting effects. There are also presets created specifically for bass players, as well as individual bass amp and cab models.

Additional features include a choice of true bypass and DSP bypass with trails, a stereo effects loop to integrate external devices or employ 4-Cable Method, a jack for two external footswitches or an expression pedal, extensive MIDI control, third-party IR support, and a multichannel 24-bit/96kHz USB audio interface. The free HX Edit app lets you create, save and load presets, and customize nearly all pedal parameters. It’s also a preset librarian, IR loader, and more.

AUTHENTIC MODELING 

HX modeling digitally mirrors the circuitry of analog amps and effects, component by component. Every model sounds and feels realistic, including such notoriously hard-to-model devices as vintage fuzz and modulation effects. Simply put, the HX Stomp amp and effects processor nails the analog vibe. 

INTUITIVE OPERATION

Despite its small size, HX Stomp is easy to use, thanks to its simple but powerful controls, color LCD, and three capacitive-touch footswitches with color-coded LED rings.

PRISTINE AUDIO QUALITY
An industry-leading 123dB of dynamic range provides tremendous depth and ultra-low noise. High-quality components guarantee unadulterated audio from inputs to outputs, whether feeding an amp or powered speaker, going direct to FOH, or recording in a professional or home studio.

MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY

Highly configurable I/O permits such routing schemes as simultaneously feeding an amp and a FOH mixer, employing 4-Cable Method, and re-amping in the studio. External control via MIDI and optional expression pedal or footswitch provide additional flexibility. 

A COMPLETE RIG IN A PEDAL

Whether you need a backup for Helix, a compact travel rig, a practice and rehearsal setup, a studio recording device, or a complete guitar or bass rig in a single pedal, HX Stomp is the perfect solution. It pairs perfectly with the optional HX Messenger Bag and also fits into the top pocket of a Helix Backpack.
