Creating /Restoring Full Device Backups
Creating full backups of your HX Stomp XL device’s presets, IRs, Favorites, custom
model defaults, and global settings is highly recommended to make sure your precious
customtonesandcongurationsareneverlost!Fortunately,thefreeLine6HX Edit app
makes it easy to create full backups and restore them anytime (available from line6.com/
software). Please refer to the HX Edit Pilot’s Guide for steps on how to use its built-in
Backup & Restore features.
Serial vs. Parallel Routing
Formanyguitartones,aserial(asingle,stereopath)signalowismorethanadequate.
For example, the preset below includes a Pitch/Synth block (violet) > Amp block (red) >
IR block (pink) > Modulation block (blue) > Delay block (green) > and Reverb block (dark
orange):
Formoresophisticatedtones,aparallel(twostereopaths)signalowcanbecreated.
This lets you split the signal into two stereo paths, process them separately, and mix the
two paths back together.
A few 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 separate parallel
paths,theywon’taectoneanotherandcansometimesresultincleaner,more
denednotes
• Ifyoureectblocks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.Thiscanbeespeciallyeectivewhenblending
clean and distorted bass signals
• Instead of a single Amp+Cab block, you may be able to run a standalone Amp
block into two parallel Cab blocks or Impulse Responses (or one of each)
• With stereo rigs, each path can be panned freely between the left and right
speakers or amps by using the Mixer block. Dierent delay and/or reverb
models panned hard left and hard right can sound particularly huge
TIP: Remember that with parallel routing, both paths A and B are stereo paths,
allowing you to utilize either mono or stereo processing blocks on each, and pan
as desired. See “Block Order and Stereo Imaging” on page 24.
1. From Edit view, turn the Upper Knob to select a processing
block and press ACTION to pick it up.
2. Turn Knob 1 (Path) to select “B.”
The Delay block is moved to a newly created parallel path B.
