Description
LINE 6 HX STOMP XL Helix Multi-Effects Guitar Pedal
The LINE 6 HX Stomp XL amp and effects processor delivers HX modeling in a performance-ready pedal with eight capacitive-touch footswitches. The same SHARC® DSP chip found in Helix® enables it to run up to eight processing blocks simultaneously, and the footswitches let you access and control those blocks in powerful ways.
Footswitches 1-6
These capacitive-touch footswitches feature color LED rings that convey footswitch assignments and status at-a-glance.
