Facts about the audio path

No amp or cab models at all

Every block is an effect, so no processing goes to an amp you were not going to use.

Two loops, and they can wrap your amp

Run the four-cable method and your amp's preamp sits inside the HX Effects chain, with effects before and after it.

HX Effects Cheat Sheet

It is not a USB audio interface

USB is for HX Edit, firmware and control messages. If you want to record over USB, that is an HX Stomp.

HX Effects Cheat Sheet

Impulse responses are included

HX Effects has no amp models but can load IRs. An IR gives you a cab sound for a direct feed.
