connect a single Mission SP1-L6H Line 6 Expression Pedal, which has a toe switch built in
that can toggle its function between EXP 1 (Wah by default) and EXP 2 (Volume by default).

HX Stomp XL in a Hybrid Amp/Direct Setup
When playing live, some guitarists and bassists love running their signal direct to the
FOH (Front of House) console but prefer the feel of standing in front of a real amp. HX
Stomp XL can accommodate both playback systems simultaneously.
Place a Send/Return > Mono > Send L block directly before any Amp or Amp+Cab
block in your signal ow. This will be the point where the signal is tapped and sent to
yourrealamp.ThenthefullsignalowwithAmpandCab/IRblockscanbesenttothe
FOH console.
TIP: Look for factory presets starting with “BAS.” These have been created with
aSend/Return>Mono>SendLblockpositionedafterEectsblocksandbefore
the Amp or Amp+Cab block. Although they’ve been designed with bass players in
mind, there’s nothing wrong with swapping out the bass amp and cab for a guitar
amp and cab (or IR).
