Selecting Blocks/Adjusting Parameters
Each preset in HX Stomp XL can accommodate up to eight blocks. Blocks are objects
that represent various elements of a preset, such as amps, cabs, eects, or even a
Looper. In addition to the eight processing blocks, each preset has an Input block,
Output block, and for presets with two parallel paths, Split and Mixer blocks.
1. While in Edit view, from Stomp footswitch mode, briey touch
(but don’t press) the footswitch assigned to the block (if any).
If multiple blocks are assigned to a footswitch, touch the top of the switch
repeatedly until the desired block is selected.
Alternatively, turn the Upper Knob to select blocks.
The selected block appears with a white outline:
2. Turn Knobs 1-3 below the screen.
Some blocks have more than one page of parameters. In this case, the center
inspector line will display a thin, colored scroll bar:
Harmony Delay
3. Press PAGE or PAGE to access more parameters (if available).
SHORTCUT: For most time-based parameters such as delay time or
modulation speed, press the knob to toggle between setting the value in ms
or Hz and note divisions (1/4-note, dotted 1/8-note, etc.).
Bypassing a Block
1. If not already there, press VIEW to select Edit view.
2. Turn the Upper Knob to select a block and then press it to
toggle the block on and o.
A bypassed block appears semi-transparent and, if assigned to a Stomp mode
footswitch, its LED ring dims:
BLOCK ON BLOCK BYPASSED
Bypassing HX Stomp XL Completely
1. Press the Upper Knob and Lower Knob together.
While HX Stomp XL is completely bypassed, the inspector displays the following:
Analog Bypass!
Press any switch
DSP Bypass!
Press any switch
ANALOG BYPASS DSP BYPASS
NOTE: There are two types of All Bypass in HX Stomp XL: Analog bypass
(sometimes called “true bypass”), where mechanically switching relays route
your signal directly from the inputs to the outputs with no processing or A/D/A
conversion, and DSP bypass, where any delay echoes and reverb tails decay
naturally. By default, HX Stomp XL is set for Analog bypass, but this behavior
can be set from “Global Settings > Preferences”.
2. Press any footswitch.
HX Stomp XL returns to normal operation.
TIP: You can also re-purpose the TAP/TUNER switch (or external footswitch
FS7 or FS8) to All Bypass. See “Global Settings > Footswitches”.
