MULTI-FX- LINE6 HX One ___ NEW ___ worth considering?

$300.00 USD

LINE 6 

HX  ONE 

I am a well known Modeler hater, LOL. But that is when it comes to amps.

If there is a analog pedal let me try it. Big but. Some things can only be done well digitally. Reverb absolutely can not be done with any serious realism. Some things are obscenely pricy to be done in analog, like tape echo. 

The Line6 DL4 was bought and used on hundreds of records and literally used and sold for decades untouched. It simply did things never heard and in spite of the digital warts the low fi chips have they worked around them and made it part of the sound just like a germanium Fuzz sounds cool but as tech it is total sh@t, lol 

DL4 the one that put modeled FX
on a Pro's board

CONCLUSION ____

As a modeler in the sense of what we think of one the HX One is crap. BIG but. You get well over $300 worth of very Pro reverbs and delays just for a start. All else can be ignored and you can be $atified you got a great deal. Or, think of it as being 250 separate pedals. If you like 50 than it costs you $6.00 for each of those you like. A passable Reverb in a single

pedal is $100.00.

It has the best of the Line 6 FX from all their units. You get compression, reverb, delay, pitch, and all the various modulation pedals.  All have a history of being the winners cherry picked from their best with thousands of beta testers AKA customers. They picked them out for you, LOL 

 

the fine print

On a tune you only have one sound. If you need the 

reverb on for your whole tune or indeed a reverb is 

often needed on every tune. Then have a nice day. 

In short it simply means you have to cover all the 

must haves with other pedals. 

Add to that any category of sounds for example 

Reverb are given crazy names, are not numbered 

or in alphabetical order. If there are 20 maybe 

more you have to go thru everyone to find the 

one you want. Between tunes??? At a gig??? 

It means it becomes any pedal you want 

...but only that one pedal all of the time. 

You have my full permission to now have 

a WTF!!! moment, LOL.
