Controls and footswitches

Every control on the HX Stomp, on a diagram you can click. Pick anything to see what it does — including the gestures nothing on the chassis tells you about.

FS1 – FS3

Three switches that change job entirely depending on which of four modes you are in.

Press, in Stomp mode: Turns the assigned block or blocks on and off. FS3 is the tap tempo.
Press, in Preset mode: Loads preset A, B or C from the current bank.
Press, in Snapshot mode: Selects snapshot 1, 2 or 3.
Press, in Scroll mode: FS1 loads the previous preset, FS2 the next. FS3 is still tap tempo.
Hold FS3: Opens the tuner. Touch it instead to open the tempo panel.

Worth knowingFS3 is the tap tempo in every mode. You effectively have two free switches, not three, which is the real reason to learn snapshots on this device.

The things you have to be told

Some of these are printed on the box. The rest are in the manual, or nowhere, and they are the difference between owning this device and being able to use it.

HOME + ACTION

Save the preset. There is no save button.

The single most important gesture on the device, and the one least visible from the chassis.
