I've resisted the direct / muktieffect craze so far but the power in this tiny thing for $600, the price of an OK amp, is just too much to resist.

Re: HX Stomp - this might be it
I wasn't a fan of the HX Effects, just because of the weird ergonomic decisions they made with the design. I owned one for 2 weeks. I'd love to read the manual for this small one, though, and see if it solves some of the problems I had. The M-series was just an elegant design.Administrator of the SDUGF

I've never used an HX/Helix family product so I wouldn't really know. They tried to keep the same principles like scenes, paths and color coding.

Re: HX Stomp - this might be it
Well, reading through the manual, it seems like it has a full Helix in there. That is a lot to get to with just 3 buttons. While you can do complex programming, you are sort of stuck only accessing 3 effects per preset without additional switches. It would be good for something like adding a few effects to your rig you already have, but the M9 is a better product for that as you can access everything instantly.Administrator of the SDUGF

HX Stomp - this might be it
I hear you. It may work depending on how one plays but it's definitely a trade-off.
In this video at about 8:00 they go over the control limitations.

Re: HX Stomp - this might be it
Having owned several L6 products, the Helix lineup is definitely a game changer. I currently own a HX Effects to go with my valve amp in 4CM, but will get the HX Stomp for recording. If the number of stomps isn't enough, I can put the HX Effects on the loop, and almost have a full Helix without the real estate. I still have space on my board for it if I ever need to go amp-less.Guitars:Gibson LP Trad ('57 Classics); Ibanez SEW761FM (TB-16/STK-S7 m&n); Charvel DK24 (TB10/SSL-6/A2Pn), DK22 (HRb/SSL-6 m&n), SoCal Style1 (Distortion set) & SoCal Style2 24 2PT (Fluence OCC); ESP LTD MH-1000HS (TB-14/Lil59n); Effects: Line 6 Helix Floor, Digitech Drop & FreqOut, ME EP-1L6,Shure GLXD16, Headrush MX5;

Re: HX Stomp - this might be it
The HX stomp goes up to 5 pedals with the expression pedal and an additional switch. I went ahead and bought one for home use. I honestly don't see myself using more than 4-5 effects at once. The compact size, price, capability (has same/similar presets as the bigger HX), and IRs (can support third party) sold me. I live in a studio apt, so I can't crank up my 12w Gibson GA 6. I'll be using this with a Sennheiser HD 650 for silent use. I will also use the balanced line out with my Yamaha HS8s. Will report back once it arrives later next week.

Re: HX Stomp - this might be it
I just saw the Headrush Gigboard, which was released earlier. It has an extra button and a touch screen. It also has a simulation of a tweed deluxe which is my favorite amp.

Re: HX Stomp - this might be it
I'm with Mincer, too much functionality for only 3 buttons. By the time you add an expression pedal and a midi controller or extra footswitches, might as well have bought the LT or full size headrush.
