Line 6 HX Effects Next Generation FX Modeler with HELIX and M-Series Effects Line 6

HX Effects

HX EFFECTS FOR YOUR PEDALBOARD

HX Effects was created for guitarists and bassists who want Line 6’s flagship Helix effects for traditional amp and pedalboard setups. Powered by the same audio engine as Helix processors, HX Effects includes the full array of Helix effects plus legacy effects from the M-Series and Stompbox Modeler pedals. All in a compact pedal that fits easily on your pedalboard.

HX AUDIO ENGINE

Run up to nine HX effects simultaneously.

Featuring the same HX audio engine as Helix processors, HX Effects leverages powerful DSP to run up to nine effects simultaneously. HX Modeling delivers effects with unprecedented authenticity, and accurately recreates the behavior of vintage effects by emulating their specific circuits and components.

HX EFFECTS

More than 100 HX effects—plus IR support.

HX Effects features more than 100 of the same effects featured in the Line 6 Helix guitar processors, including distortions, delays, reverbs, modulations, pitch/synth/filters, compressors/limiters, EQs, wahs, and an on-board looper. HX Effects also lets you load custom impulse responses (IRs), allowing you to customize your sound even further.

INDUSTRY-LEADING DYNAMIC RANGE

Pristine sound quality and responsiveness.

HX Effects features an industry-leading 123dB of dynamic range for tremendous depth and ultra-low noise. Each effect is delivered with pristine sound quality to ensure an authentic and responsive playing experience.

TRUE BYPASS SWITCHING

Nothing comes between you and your tone.

HX Effects features selectable analog bypass switching to ensure your tone isn’t compromised when the pedal is bypassed.

CAPACITIVE TOUCH FOOTSWITCHES

Quickly select and edit effects.

Eight capacitive-sensing footswitches with color-coded LED rings, and six LED scribble scrips enable intuitive effect selection and editing. Simply touch a footswitch with your finger to instantly jump to any effect and quickly adjust its parameters. Touch two switches to swap them. And touch and hold a switch to display all parameters across the LCDs to see everything at once.

ROBUST ROUTING AND I/O

Seamless integration with your rig.

HX Effects is easily integrated into existing pedalboard and studio rigs thanks to robust routing and control options, including parallel stereo signal paths, two assignable effects loops (stereo linkable), two expression pedal inputs, and up to four amp switching outputs.

SWITCHABLE INSTRUMENT/LINE INPUTS

Connect any instrument, and more.

A switchable line-level input enables keyboardists, DJs, and producers to connect electronic instruments or use HX Effects as an outboard processor in the studio.

MASTER CONTROLLER

A command center for your entire rig.

Like Helix multi-effects processors, HX Effects can act as the command center for your entire rig. Communicate with other pedals or your DAW software via MIDI DIN or USB MIDI, and control your amps from up to four amp switching outputs—all from HX Effects.

IMPULSE RESPONSES (a.k.a. “IRs”)

Impulse Responses are mathematical functions representing the sonic measurements of specific audio systems (for the HX Effects device, acoustic guitar body resonance or speaker cabinet and microphone combinations). The HX Effects device can load and store up to 128 custom or third-party IRs at a time.

IRs can be utilized within your presets by adding an IR block to your Signal Flow, and then selecting any of the 128 IR index locations to which you’ve imported an Impulse Response .wav file. You can add a max. of one 2048-sample IR block, or up to two 1024-sample IR blocks to your Signal Flow within a preset.
