Bypass Assign
Aside from pressing the Upper Knob from Edit view, HX Stomp XL has a variety of
additionalmethodsforturningblocksonando:
• Pressing a Stomp mode footswitch
• Moving a connected expression pedal (sometimes called “auto-engage”)
• Sending a MIDI CC message to HX Stomp XL’s MIDI In (or via USB)
Quick Footswitch Assign
1. While in Edit view, turn the Upper Knob to select the block you
wish to assign to a footswitch.
2. While in Stomp footswitch mode, touch and hold any one of
the FS1~FS6 switches until the following dialog appears:
OKCancel
Assign block to FS?
Merge
Assign
If you want to replace any other blocks that may already be assigned to the foot-
switch, turn Knob 2 (Assign) to “Replace.” Otherwise, leave it set to “Merge,”
which allows for multiple blocks to be assigned to the same switch.
3. Press Knob 3 (OK).
NOTE: This “touch” behavior for footswitches can be disabled using the Stomp
Select option in “Global Settings > Footswitches”
Manual Bypass Assign

but HX Stomp XL can also engage or bypass a block automatically when moving an
expression pedal or via external MIDI. For example, moving EXP 1 forward past the heel
down position can enable a Wah or Poly Wham block, and returning EXP 1 to the heel
position will bypass it again.
1. Press PAGE and PAGE together to open the Menu.
2. Press Knob 1 (Bypass Assign).
The Bypass Assign screen looks very similar to the Edit screen:

3. Turn the Upper Knob to select the block you want to bypass.
Input, Output, and Merge blocks cannot be bypassed or bypass assigned. Any
Processing or Split block type canbebypassedorbypassassigned;whenaSplit
block is bypassed, the signal is split and routed equally to both Path A (upper)
and Path B (lower).
4. Turn Knob 1 (Switch) to select the desired footswitch or
expression pedal.
Optionally, you can also control the block’s bypass via MIDI—see step 5.
None
Removes the bypass assignment.
FS1~FS8
Steppingonthe Stomp modefootswitchturnsthe blockonand o.
Note that FS7 or FS8 won’t function via connected footswitches unless
the “Global Settings > Preferences” > EXP/FS Tip is set to “FS7” and
EXP/FS Ring is set to “FS8” respectively, and the “Global Settings >
Footswitches” > FS7 Function and FS8 Function parameters are set to
“Stomp 7” and “Stomp 8,” respectively.
Selecting a footswitch displays Knob 2 (Type). Turn Knob 2 to select
“Moment[ary]” or “Latching” behavior. When set to Momentary, the
block is bypassed (or enabled, if already bypassed) for as long as
you hold the switch. When set to Latching, the block is bypassed
(or enabled, if already bypassed) every time you press the switch.
NOTE: Footswitch type (momentary or latching) is determined per
footswitch, not per assignment.
EXP 1, EXP 2
Moving the expression pedal automatically enables (or bypasses) the
block.
Selecting EXP 1 or 2 displays Knob 2 (Position) and Knob 3 (Wait).
Position determines at which point within the expression pedal’s travel
theblockisenabledorbypassed.0%isheeldown;99%istoedown.
Wait determines how long HX Stomp XL 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.*
