Controller Assign
HX Stomp XL provides a wide variety of tools for controlling your tone during a
performance. The most obvious controller would be a connected expression pedal (often
assigned to Wah, Pitch Wham, or Volume), but you may also assign footswitches to
toggle between two values of a given parameter or parameters or even have parameters
instantly change when selecting dierent snapshots within a preset. Practically any
block’sparameterscanbeconguredforexternalMIDICCcontrolaswell.
If a parameter has a controller assigned, its value appears with white text:
Harmony Delay
FeedbkTime
37%
Mix
35%1/8
IMPORTANT! Adding a Wah, Pitch Wham, or Poly Wham block automatically
assigns it to be controlled by EXP 1. Adding a Volume or Pan block automatically
assigns it to be controlled by EXP 2. With a Mission SP1-L6H Line 6 Expression
Pedal, connecting it to HX Stomp XL with a Y-cable will just work, and its built-in
toe switch will toggle between any Wah/Pitch Wham/Poly Wham and Volume/
Pan blocks. See page 58.

FS1~FS8
Stepping on a Stomp mode footswitch can toggle between a
parameter’s min and max values.
Selecting FS1~FS8 will display Knob 3 (Switch Type). Turn Knob 3
to select “Moment[ary]” or “Latch[ing]” behavior.* Momentary
means the value will change for as long as you hold the switch.
Latching toggles between Min and Max values every time you press
the switch.
MIDI CC Selecting “MIDI CC” will display Knob 3 (CC#). Turn Knob 3 to
select the desired MIDI CC number.**
Snpshot
Although all controller-assigned parameters are updated per
snapshot, an additional “Snapshots” controller is available when
other controllers are already used.
*NOTE: Footswitch behavior (momentary or latching) is determined per
footswitch, not per assignment.
