1
1 Input Level
Choose "Inst[rument]" when connecting a guitar, bass, or stompboxes to HX Stomp's input jack(s); choose "Line" when connecting synths, drum
machines, the sends from mixers, or other line-level sources. If your guitar or bass has really loud active pickups (or if you just happen to prefer
the sound of a "padded" input level for your instrument), choose "Line" - Or, just try both and trust your ears.
2 Output Level
Choose "Inst[rument]" when connecting the 1/4" outputs to stompboxes or the front of guitar amps; choose "Line" when connecting to mixers or
standalone recorders. When using a single amp or mixer channel, connect only the LEFT/MONO 1/4” jack.
3 Send/ReturnL
Choose "Inst[rument]" when using a Send/Return pair as an FX loop for stompboxes; choose "Line" when using a Send/Return pair as an FX loop
for line-level rack processors, or as additional inputs and outputs for connecting keyboards, drum machines, mixers, and other gear.

1 Send/ReturnR
2 Return Type
Determines whether the signal received at the Return jacks should be used for Return and FX Loop blocks—or—act as a stereo Aux In (no pro-
cessing) for jamming along with mixers, MP3 players, etc. To utilize the Return jacks for an unprocessed Aux In, set the preset's Input block to
"Main L/R" - this allows your instrument signal (connected via the Main L/R input) to be heard simultaneously along with the (unprocessed) Return
L/R signal for jamming along.
3 USB In 1/2 Trim
Sets the level of incoming audio from USB 1/2, which bypasses all HX Stomp processing. Normally, this should be left at 0.0dB.
3
1 Phones Monitor
Determines which signal(s) are heard from the Phones output. Normally you would set this to "Main L/R."
2
Volume
Controls
Determines whether the top panel VOLUME knob controls both the 1/4" main output and headphone output ("Main+HP") or just the headphone
output ("Phones"). When set to "Phones" the 1/4" main outputs remain at unity gain.

1 Bypass Type
When pressing the Upper and Lower knobs together (or a footswitch assigned to "All Bypass"), HX Stomp bypasses all blocks. There are two types
of All Bypass in HX Stomp—Choose "Analog" if you want to your guitar's signal routed directly from the HX Stomp inputs to its outputs, with no pro-
cessing or A/D/A conversion (also called "true bypass"). Choose "DSP" if you want delay echoes and reverb tails to decay naturally when HX Stomp
is bypassed.
2 Snapsht Edits
Determineswhetherornotanyeditsmadetoasnapshot(blockon/o,parametercontrol,tempo)arerememberedwhenreturningtothatsnap-
shot. When set to "Recall," any snapshot edits are recalled when jumping from snapshot to snapshot, and appear as you last left them. When set
to "Discard," any snapshot edits are discarded when jumping from snapshot to snapshot, and appear as the preset was last saved. If you want
to save changes made to a snapshot while Snapshot Edits is set to "Discard,” press SAVE twice before selecting another. Also see "Determining
Snapshot Edit Behavior".

real delay pedal's time knob; "Transpr" [Transparent] minimizes these artifacts.

1 EXP/FS Tip
Determines whether the rear panel PEDAL jack's Tip signal is an Expression Pedal 1 input jack or a Footswitch 4 input jack.
2 EXP/FS Ring
Determines whether the rear panel PEDAL jack's Ring signal is an Expression Pedal 2 input jack or a Footswitch 5 input jack.
3 Tip Polarity
lf your external expression pedal or footswitch appears to work backwards—for example, a Volume pedal block is loudest with the heel all the way
down, or if your FS4 or FS5 assigned function is not performing as expected when toggled via your external footswitch—set its polarity to "Invert."

1 Ring Polarity

Preset
Number
Determines whether presets appear as 42 banks of three (A B C) or are numbered 000-125 (convenient when recalling presets via MIDI program
change messages).
