17. MIDI IN, OUT/THRU Connect HX Stomp XL to your MIDI gear to send
and receive program changes, MIDI clock, continuous controllers, and other MIDI
messages. See “MIDI” for more information.
18. USB HX Stomp XL also functions as a high-quality, multichannel 24-bit/96kHz
USB audio interface for Mac and Windows computers, with DI, re-amping, and
MIDI functionality built right in. Use of a USB 2.0 (or higher) port is required—do
not use an external USB hub. HX Stomp XL can also function as an audio/MIDI
interface for Apple iPad or iPhone mobile devices (with optional Apple Camera
Connection Kit).
19. DC In Line 6 recommends using only the supplied DC-3 power supply. Yes,
we know it’s large, but the HX Stomp XL pedal packs a lot of circuitry into its tiny
housing. To ensure the same signal integrity of Helix
®
, Helix Rack/Control, and
Helix LT devices, we needed a burly power supply.
That said, Line 6 has provided a list of third-party supplies that we’ve tested
with HX Stomp XL, which can be found here: https://line6.com/support/page/kb/
eects-controllers/.
The provided AC adapter serves as the disconnect device.
20. Power Switch Nine out of ten blues dentists agree: HX Stomp XL is more fun
when powered on. The tenth dentist is a nihilist.
