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

[yeky83]

Stop trying to talk me outta spending money.

Nah, I likely wouldn't use something like this with the Fractal anyway. It'd go on my regular board. I actually don't mix my FM9 with my "regular" gear.

lol that's what's going on? gotcha, HX One it is then!

So here’s a fun bit…. I don’t really have a strong reason to get the HX one, but I kinda want one just because of how cool, powerful, and flexible it is. The crazy part is that the more I think about how cool it could be for some things, the more I convince myself I should probably buy a stomp instead…. I wasn’t even considering buying a stomp…

Hold my beer…

It crossed my mind that it would be cool to throw a couple in my Axe FXs loops and have access to some of the stuff that Line 6 does differently than Fractal. Never mind that I already have an HX Effects that can do more at once with zero cash outlay, there’s a cool factor to those little boxes that is making me want one or three.

You are right though; the Fractal is flexible enough that there probably isn’t any ground not covered. It’s just that you gotta tweak.

"Buy", you say?

More blinking lights always improves your toanz.

Allow me to assist…

The thing that the one and the stomp can do that the fx can’t is the variable input impedance. That matters a lot for some of the front end effects that the HX does well. Cosmos echo for instance is a dramatically different effect that way, I love it in both instances but wow are they different. Not to mention that the variety of cool fuzz tones in Helix is really cool and you don’t get the benefit of that IMO without the impedance.

That doesn’t matter for my application, they would be in the loops of the Fractal.

The way I see it, an HX One (with variable impedance, poly capo/other pitch effects, drives, boosts, Fuzz!, etc) in front of an FM3 (instead of a Digitech Drop and/or additonal drives) is not too shabby.

 

[yeky83]

Dang, think about a used HX One in a year or two, all that pedal for ~$200!

I don't understand how is possible that so many YouTubers that don't understand why HX Solo exist and why is a cool little piece of gear.

+1. Also, a Digitech Drop alone is, what, $240? I'd just rather get a HX One, to be honest - Helix's Poly Capo is very very good.

 

[Lysander]

For real. It's like everyone had to jump the gun and drop a reaction video before everyone else, without the slightest analysis behind it.

The comment sections being filled with "actually, this would be really useful for X/Y/Z" comments were reassuring though.

They didn't get one for free, that's why.
Oh shit, "Youtube reviewers can’t be trusted" thread is leaking.

The HX One is a great utility pedal. If Line 6 could’ve squeezed two blocks in it might have been the greatest one ever. Sure it’s going to sell well.

Yeah not to be a wet blanket but two would have been awesome and I'd have been all for it.
