HX Stomp Manual - English

Quick Start
Hooking It All Up
There are many ways to connect HX Stomp to other gear, and the following pages
illustrate only a few.
HX Stomp on a Pedalboard
Although HX Stomp has amp and cab modeling, there's no reason you have to use it,
especially if you have a favorite guitar or bass amp. All six processing blocks can be
dedicated to effects and effects control.
TIP: Look for factory presets with names starting with "FX." These have been
created with effects blocks only.
HX Stomp in 4-Cable Method
"4 Cable-Method" is a popular and flexible way of hooking things up, allowing you
to route some effects blocks (most often drives, distortions, wahs, and compressors)
before your amp's preamp and other effects blocks (often time-based effects like
delays and reverbs) in its effects loop.
NOTE: The effects loops on most amplifiers run at instrument level. If your amp's
effects loop happens to run at line level, you should set the inputs and outputs of
HX Stomp to line level as well. See "Setting Proper Levels".
IMPORTANT! Make sure you add a Send/Return > Mono > FX Loop block at
the point in your signal flow where you wish your amp's preamp to be, otherwise
you won't hear anything.
TIP: Look for factory presets starting with "4CM." Note that these presets will
not pass any audio unless hooked up in the method below!
