Why You’ll Love It

HX One solves a common pedalboard problem: wanting access to more sounds without finding room for several additional pedals.

Instead of committing valuable board space to an effect you may only use for one song, HX One lets you call up the sound you need and store it as a preset. It can cover conventional pedal duties while also opening the door to more unusual and experimental effects.

The interface remains reassuringly direct. Select an effect, use the OLED display to identify its main parameters and make adjustments with the three corresponding knobs. There is no need to navigate a large multi-effects workstation simply to add one new sound.

Over 250 HX Effects in One Pedal

HX One draws upon the extensive effects library developed for Line 6 HX processors. This gives guitarists and other musicians access to a wide variety of effects within a single compact pedal.

Line 6 HX behavioural modelling recreates how individual analogue components interact, helping capture the response and character of classic effects—including notoriously difficult devices such as germanium fuzzes and bucket-brigade analogue delays.

Transform Your Sound with Flux

The Flux Controller allows multiple effect parameters to move simultaneously between two sets of values over a chosen period of time.

With one footswitch press, you could gradually increase delay feedback, shift pitch, expand a reverb or transform several settings together. Flux can create smooth, repeatable changes that would normally require several pedals, an expression controller or multiple adjustments.

Built for Modern Pedalboards

HX One can be placed in front of an amplifier, incorporated into an effects loop or connected alongside other mono or stereo pedals. Adjustable input impedance helps it respond appropriately to instruments and pickups with different output levels.

You can also choose between true bypass and buffered DSP bypass. True bypass routes the analogue signal directly from the inputs to the outputs when the effect is disengaged, while buffered bypass can help maintain signal strength across larger pedalboards and longer cable runs.

Flexible External and MIDI Control

The expression and footswitch connection can accept an optional expression pedal, two assignable external footswitches, or one of each. Relevant effect parameters can be controlled through an expression pedal for real-time performance changes.

MIDI In and Out/Thru connections allow HX One to receive programme changes, continuous controller messages and MIDI clock. This makes it suitable for synchronised rigs and pedalboards controlled by an external MIDI system.

Preset Management and Updates

Connect HX One to a compatible Mac or PC through USB-C to install firmware updates and use the free HX One Librarian application. The software allows you to back up and restore the 128 onboard presets and device settings.

HX One also supports USB MIDI control from compatible MIDI and DAW applications. A USB cable is not included.

FDM Expert Verdict

★★★★★ Compact in size, enormous in creative potential.

HX One is a clever solution for players who already like their main pedalboard but regularly find themselves needing one more sound. Rather than replacing the equipment you trust, it fills the gaps with more than 250 HX effects, preset recall and extensive control options.

The Flux Controller is the standout creative feature, but the real strength is flexibility. HX One can be a straightforward single-effect pedal today and become part of an advanced stereo or MIDI-controlled system tomorrow.
