and other advanced features that will appeal to ambience chasers and seasoned tonal architects alike . Since it has a mono in and stereo out I use it to receive the signal from my drives then split it into a stereo send directly to both amps .
The HX ONE can be used for so many different things but I use it as one of my delay pedals . It has 250 + stunning effects emulations , the HX One merges Line 6 ’ s world-renowned HX technology with the workflow and form factor of a traditional stompbox . This stereo multi-effects floor processor offers a superbly straightforward approach similar to a standard guitar pedal , with one effect available at a time to keep things simple and efficient onstage and in the studio . A high-visibility OLED screen and tactile controls deliver an inviting and easyto-navigate feel , from dialing one of your 128 onboard presets to adjusting the HX One ’ s adjustable impedance and buffer settings . You also get an extensive I / O section and versatile control options , including two 8-pin MIDI In / Out-Thru ports , USB-C for the HX One Librarian app , footswitch / expression jack capabilities , and a Flux / Tap switch to access tap tempo and automatic parameter shifts . No matter what type of rig you ’ re running , the Line 6 HX One ’ s vast effects library and easy operation unlock a whole new realm of sonic possibilities .

For my reverb pedal I went with my trusty Revelation pedal from Jet Pedals . The Revelation Reverb is engineered with six studio-grade algorithms , six onboard presets ( 127 with MIDI ), full MIDI control over every knob , switch , algorithm , preset , etc . Additionally , it features a live mode , preset mode , kill-dry mode and full stereo analog dry thru .

I ’ ve tried a lot of reverb pedals , but I seem to always come back to this one . I also control with the the MIDI Baby 3 from Disaster Area .

As far as my foot controller I went with the DPC 5 from Disaster Area . I like that it does analog and MIDI . The DPC-5 is a compact MIDI controller and loop switcher . It ’ s designed
