EXP 1, EXP 2
Moving the expression pedal automatically enables (or bypasses)
the block.
Selecting EXP 1 or 2 displays Knob 1 (Position) and Knob 2 (Wait)
on the second page. Position determines where in the expression
pedal's travel the block is enabled or bypassed. 0% is heel down;
99% is toe down. Wait determines how long the HX Eects device
waits before bypassing the block; for example, you wouldn't want
the wah to turn o every time you touched the heel down position
in your big funk wah solo.
TIP: By default, bypass toggling for the eect via EXP 1 or EXP 2 is con-
gured for "heel down = o" behavior. To reverse bypass behavior, press
FS3. In such case, the block will be bypassed when moving the expression
pedal past the congured Position location. Since it is possible to congure
the bypass of multiple blocks to be assigned to an expression pedal, you
can set each block's Position value dierently - thereby allowing the pedal
to turn some blocks on and others o at dierent positions in the pedal's
travel.
You can change additional bypass behaviors for the selected block within
Signal Flow view by touching FS2 and accessing the parameters on both
pages.
NOTE: Footswitch type (momentary or latching) is determined per foot-
switch, not per assignment.
3. If desired, press and turn Knob 3 (MIDI In) to assign an in-
coming MIDI CC message to turn the block on and o.
Incoming CC values 0-63 turn the block o; values 64-127 turn the block on. Note
that some MIDI CCs are reserved for global functions and cannot be selected.
Parallel Path Routing
The vast majority of guitar tones are created with serial routing; that is, one stompbox
or eect after another. For example, the Signal Flow view for most of the HX Eects
device's presets looks something like this:
For more sophisticated tones, a parallel (two stereo paths) signal ow can be cre-
ated. This lets you split the signal into two stereo paths, process each separately,
and mix the two back together.
A couple advantages of parallel routing:
• If a reverb follows a delay on a serial path, the delay's echoes will have reverb
applied. Likewise, if a delay follows a reverb on a serial path, the reverb's
tail will have distinct echoes. Conversely, if a reverb and delay are on sepa-
rate parallel paths, they won't aect one another and can sometimes result in
cleaner, more dened notes (if desired).
• If your eect block types don't have Mix or Blend controls, adding them to a
parallel path allows the dry guitar or bass signal to pass through unaected
and be blended with the eected signal.
Touch Footswitch 2 and turn Knob 2 (Path) to move the selected
block down to Path B.
The block is dropped to lower path B, a Split block is created directly to the left of it,
and a Mixer block is created after the last eect:
To remove path B, move all blocks on path B (lower) back up to
path A (upper).
Setting Path B's Output
There may be situations where you want parallel Path B to be sent to a completely
dierent set of outputs.
1. In the Signal Flow view, turn the Big Knob to select the point
where the two paths merge.
The Mixer block appears only when selected:
2. Touch Footswitch 2 and turn Knob 2 (Path B Output) to select
"Send12."
The Mixer block splits into two, indicating Path A is being sent from the HX Eects
hardware's Main L/R outputs and Path B is being sent from its Send 1/2 outputs:
