New Line 6 product speculation thread [disclosure: HX One]

[GTR37]

I get what you are saying. There is a local guitar player around here who is exceptional. Toured with a few big names in the 80's, and he told me he only needs a clean and crunch and can play everything he knows. I thought of him when I saw it.

But the problem I have is if you were going to use that 1 effect I feel like you would buy a Strymon mini Sky or brig or flint , your getting into a lot of competition at $300 USD for single FX IMO

 

[dbagchee]

Probably $299 US - HX Effects is $649 new. Seems priced right when you compare to a Strymon or Eventide pedal with one or maybe 3 algorithms (vs 250+). Looks like this has a loop too so you can move it before or after some pedals per preset. Not something I need right now but seems like a good add to the family. I get why they didn't include amps but I still think they should've.

The more I'm reading the description... you can connect the EXP out to control FS3/4. But how/why would you need to control FS3/4 on a one block pedal? Mapping FS3/4 to block parameters?

Yes, but it may have multiple presets with multiple effects plus impedance control. We'll see what the Shill Crew has to say soon enough.

HEY, @timbuck3 -

STEREO FX LOOP!!!!!!!!!

Midi, variable impedance, and expression control, looks like a home run to me.

Flux control sounds like a single block snapshot.

This could be quite popular to the single acoustic guys where you only need a few different chorus effects, 12 string, etc to change up the tone a little during a set.

 

[Whizzinby]

One algo at a time?

Where is Eagle…



Flux, I assume doing some sort of customizable ramp of a parameter change? Would need to be pretty novel considering you can already do swells and fades with an exp pedal, unless this does some sort of interesting morph/glitch.

One algo?

Probably that and dedicated preset up/down or direct jump to a different preset.

Compared to pedals like the Universal Audio Golden and Starlight, this seems like a bargain. And it actually has MIDI.

Edit: Wait, do the UA Pedals have MIDI?

[SymphonicDischord]

Nope. It’s a fairly obvious box for us to make, with a really fun twist that will have a lot of people asking “when is [that really fun twist] coming to Helix?!”

Will preface those comments with “it might not.”

So is flux the fun twist?

 

[James Freeman]

Flux Controller for automating parameter changes

Maybe it's akin to LFO?
Automating parameters have been requested on idea scale as "auto-wah or auto everything" for ages.
Needs to be versatile with customizable waveforms, speed, tempo, dynamic input envelope as trigger, etc.

Nope.

[ian_dissonance]

Man, if Flux is an adjustable LFO-type controller and it’s not coming to the big Helix I’m gonna be bummed.

 

[James Freeman]

If it is indeed LFO, of course it's coming to Helix eventually.
Probably in a more complete/advanced state, and probably too late for the up coing 3.70?
