Featuring effects in the realms of dynamics, distortion, modulation, reverb, delay, pitch/synth, and filter this effects controller provides a vast realm of versatility. To hear audio samples of some of the effects, check out https://line6.com/hx-effects/ Legacy effects from the Line 6 M-Series and Stompbox Modeler pedals are also included. Effects are easy to edit using the eight ringed foot pedal switches with color rings for convenience. Effect layout on the board is easy to change simply by pressing two buttons at the same time to swap the effects’ locations.

A switchable line-level input enables keyboardists, DJs, and producers to connect electronic instruments or use HX Effects as an “outboard” effects processor in the studio. Beyond that, a real-time MIDI controller enables you to send MIDI command and controller messages to other devices. For those who prefer to stick more towards the stage and performance, this compact design allows for easy integration into your existing setup. The size is a nice compromise between being compact enough to not hog an entire board while still giving you the spacing for easy and accurate use during a performance.

The back features plenty of options for integrating the pedal into your systems while running loops and switching between MIDI devices.
