The HX Effects processor was designed to be integrated into traditional amp and pedal setups and may serve as anything from a dedicated multi-effects unit to the command center for your entire rig. Although compact in size, it delivers the same professional-grade sound quality and authentic HX Modeling found in our market-leading Helix processors.

Pedal/Ext Amp 1-2

Up to two optional expression pedals can be connected and assigned to adjust nearly any parameter or parameters. Connect a traditional amp using a TS or TRS (1=tip, 2=ring) cable to switch amp channels and/or engage the amp’s reverb, tremolo, or other onboard effect

Sends/Returns 1-2

These 1/4” inputs and outputs can be used as standard effects loops for inserting pedals and other external devices into your signal chain, or as additional inputs and outputs when using 4-Cable Method and other alternative routing configurations.

Input L/Mono, Right

Connect mono instruments or pedals to the L/Mono input. Connect stereo pedals, keyboards, synths, or modelers to the L/Mono and Right inputs.

Output L/Mono, Right

Use unbalanced (TS) 1/4” cables to connect to other pedals or your amplifier. When connecting to a mono pedal or single amp use the Left/Mono 1/4” jack.

MIDI In, Out/Thru

Connect HX Effects to your MIDI gear. HX Effects sends and receives Program Change, Continuous Controller, and other MIDI messages.

USB

Connect HX Effects to your Mac^® or PC for preset management and IR loading via the HX Edit application, updating to the latest firmware, receiving MIDI control messages, or sending remote Command Center messages.

Cable Tie

Wind the power supply's cable through one or both hooks to keep HX Effects from accidentally becoming unplugged.
