Line6 HX Stomp

No need for amp anymore, no need for mic anymore, no need to go to gym to handle the weight of your amp. you just need a cabinet for live. Records made easy and with top sound quality. So many options to control it. Since is a very tiny unit is very difficult to understand in the beginning how to use it properly but just go to youtube cause the community gives you all you need to know about this product. So much information for free. Digital realy united people in sharing.

Já faz algum tempo que estou com a HX Stomp, mas ele é um produto de extrema qualidade, de fácil manuseio e intuitivo. Ela entrega muito mais do que promete, além de ter varias atualizações que sempre melhoram o produto. E não posso deixar de falar algo sobre o excelente atendimento, o fácil acesso às informações do produto no site, o processo para entrega e envio e a facilidade de pagamento, contento várias formas para facilitar a compra independente de que tipo de pagamento vc usa. Thomann está de parabéns. Excelente trabalho, e por isso é a melhor da Europa!

I have been using HX Stomp for the past 6 months and have some remarks.
1). It's really well-built, has tons of features & the sound quality is really professional - really nothing to complain about.
2). It has some added uses - about which you might have not known:
- it is a great practice tool - on its own - you can just plug-in your headphones to it and have a good time practicing while using the simulation of whatever amp you like
- it is a really good recording interface (via USB) with ASIO/midi etc.

2). It has some minor flaws which I would like you to be aware of:
- the quality of effects is not even:
- time-based effects (reverbs, delays, vibratos, choruses etc.) are simply superb;
- amp simulations - are really great - but require lots of effort to sound right - they just don't work like real tube amps which tend to sound ok at all the settings. These simulated amps CAN sound great - provided you found the settings which suit your guitar, pickups and playstyle. And believe me there are a lot of settings that can be set wrong.
- noise gate - it' simply is there - but it's really nothing sophisticated or special
- looper - it's there but the buffer is really short
- overdrives/distortions - I still prefer the real counterparts. Maybe I still did not find the correct settings? For me they do not sound ok - they do not clean up as they should and the tone/texture is simply is not there

- you really cannot use a standard power source from your pedalboard - you have to use the one provided with the unit - it is a 3000mA source. Not a big problem, but adds some mess to your pedalboard.
- you have to be good at word puzzles to use this one - due to copyright issues - example? What is "$$ for nada" preset?
Dire Straits - Money for Nothing :-) What is "2/3 beards"? - ZZ Top
Sometimes you will guess sometimes you will not - but this does not make the life easier.
