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

[Alex Kenivel]

Can it do PolyCapo though? I feel like I haven't seen a definitive on that yet

I think your eyes are starting to glaze over, turkey

It was the multiple questions with a single yes answer focused on only one of the questions

Right but, all of the things you said about the HX One is exactly what could be said about the Stomp, except it can run up to eight blocks instead of one, it has an extra footswitch, and it has amp modeling. Otherwise they have the same controls, the same sound quality, the same effects (although it doesn't look like HX One can do amps right?), etc.

I dunno, it's not much harder to find an extra inch or two on a pedalboard and get a current doubler cable and be able to run a hell of a lot more in the Stomp.

Other way I could see it would be, if they made something like a DL2 with a bunch of delay algos in a small pedal with more physical knobs and no screen/menus, THAT would be cool. They could do a DL2, RV2, MD2, etc. That would compete with Strymon and UAD really well. This product is just a neutered Stomp.

I don't have any interest or need in any of that other stuff on the stomp tho

 

[Alex Kenivel]

I think it's cool. Probably not for me, although I do have one more space on my pedalboard, but I have a Stomp already. Maybe I could use it as a standalone reverb

But if it can poly capo, doesn't that mean it has DSP for a ton of high dsp amps??? So a smaller HX stomp powerful enough to run amps was always possible??

I think it's a cool M5 replacement. A HX zoom multistomp pedal would've broke my brain though (6 effects, preset scrolling, amps/cabs).

What I dig about the Stomp is I can use it for all my modulation effects in one package. Chorus, delay, reverb, with tap tempo. Added bonus, you can set up a noise gate, and an EQ, and other things. It's super useful.

I think if the HX One could run TWO effects, then it would make way more sense. You could have an always on effect like reverb, then a toggled effect like delay. And having two switches would be interesting if you had freedom with them, like: effect on/off and tap tempo, or effect A and effect B, or bypass and flux, etc.

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Line 6 stuff. I just bought an HX Effects a couple weeks ago as an alternative to my HX Stomp.

That's also why I never bit on the H9. Super interested in the algos and quality, but seemed like a one trick pony. Or a pony with lots of tricks but then you have to get MIDI and a separate switcher involved. And we all know that road just leads back to the Stomp

It can run 2 effects. One of them is always a noise gate.

I'm reading it to mean it can poly capo?

I am (generally) too. But the tuner bit at the end is triggering my still questioning things after all OCD.

 

[Antipodes]

Well then, you don't really fit in here, do ya?

We here, we're all discontented creators, y'see, and proud of it!

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?

A lot of people don't want an extra footswitch or amp modeling. Or signal chain routing. Or multiple effects.

For you and me, yeah, but it is for many.

They could do a DL2, RV2, MD2, etc. That would compete with Strymon and UAD really well. This product is just a neutered Stomp.

So... you want a worse product cus it'd be cool. Also, then people would just buy Strymon and UAD pedals. This does more.

Isn't it yes? Cus:

It's perfect for me because I already have a pedalboard that I'm pretty much content with, but having a "wildcard" pedal spot on the board is very attractive to me

I WAS REPETITIVE CUS TOO SLOW SO DELETED IT

HX One ships with 3.60. By the time it’s readily available, there’ll likely be an update with even more effects for it.

Does this mean 3.70 will land when HX One ships???
