Bypassing Blocks in Signal Flow View
A Stomp mode footswitch is the most obvious method for turning an eect block on
and o, but the HX Eects device can also engage or bypass a block automatically
when moving an expression pedal. For example, if you add a Wah or a Pitch Wham
block to your Signal Flow, you'll see that these block types are automatically assigned
so that the block's Bypass is toggled via EXP 1 - moving EXP 1 forward past the heel
down position enables the block, and returning EXP 1 to the heel position will bypass
it again.
1. Turn the Big Knob to select the block you want to bypass.
You'll see the LED ring for FS2 and FS3 appear lit if the selected block is active,
or dimmed if bypassed.
2. Press FS2 or FS3 to bypass the selected block.*
An eects block's appearance changes depending on its state. For example, here
are the various states of a Delay block:
Active Bypassed
Active,
Selected
Bypassed,
Selected
When a parallel path is created, you'll see "Split" and "Mixer" blocks added (see
"Parallel Path Routing"). The Mixer block cannot be bypassed. If the Split block
is bypassed, it behaves exactly like Split > Y, with both Balance parameters set
to Center.
*IMPORTANT! Pressing FS2 or FS3 from the Signal Flow view bypasses
only the selected block, even if other blocks share the same footswitch
within Stomp mode. For example, if both a distortion (active) and delay
(bypassed) block are assigned to FS1, pressing FS1 while in Stomp mode
will toggle between distortion and delay. In such case while in Stomp
mode, repeatedly touch the multi-assigned FS1 to cycle through the dis-
tortion and delay parameters.
Editing Blocks in Signal Flow View
1. Turn the Big Knob to select the block you want to edit.
2. Touch Footswitch 3 and turn Knobs 1-3.
While adjusting parameters, the values briey appear on the scribble strip:
Feedbk KeyTime
50% A750ms
If an eect or other item has more than three parameters, arrows appear to the
right and/or left of the parameter names (see above).
3. Press or to access more parameters (if available).
TIP: Just like in Stomp mode, blocks can be copied, pasted and cleared
from Signal Flow view. Press ACTION and then the desired function
switch. See "Copying/Pasting an Eect".
Assigning Switches in Signal Flow View
IMPORTANT! The rst six eects blocks added in Signal Flow view are auto-
matically assigned to Stomp switches. Don't worry about the order in which
you add blocks and in most cases, don't even bother attempting to reor-
der your Stomp switches from the Signal Flow view's Footswitch parameter.
Instead, you should swap footswitch assignment by touching two Stomp
switches. See "Swapping Footswitches".
However, Signal Flow view's Footswitch parameter overwrites any automatic
assignment and lets you assign multiple eects to the same switch, and even
allows for toggling between two or more eects.
1. Turn the Big Knob to select the block you want to assign to a
footswitch.
2. Touch Footswitch 2 and turn Knob 3 (Switch) to select the de-
sired footswitch or expression pedal:
None
Removes the switch assignment.
FS1-FS6
Stepping on the Stomp mode footswitch turns the block on and
o.
Selecting FS1-6 displays Knob 1 (Switch Type) on the second page.
Press and turn Knob 1 (Switch Type) to select "Latch[ing]" or
"Moment[ary]." When set to Moment, the block is bypassed (or
enabled, if already bypassed) for as long as you hold the switch.
When set to Latch, the block is bypassed (or enabled, if already
bypassed) every time you press the switch.
