Wouldn't the favorites feature be a help here? Make all the crunch tone blocks favorites, then add those favorites to the clean tone preset, and finally so some footswitch/snapshot magic to switch blocks on and off as needed...?

Hi, I looked up your video and understood nothing, because I don't speak Italian. Still a great sounding language, though :-) However, when I try to import the bass patch into HX Edit (3.10) for my HX Stomp (3.11) I get an import error. Did you export it with the latest HX Edit?

I'm pretty sure it's not a corruption issue, but simply a compatibility one. Both the old and new structures look completely fine, but there are such differences that I can understand that the newer software doesn't understand the old format. For instance, in the hierarchical structure of the new format some things are now embedded in a "data" node that wasn't there before. I think it's a simple case that the programmers of HX Edit have changed the structure of the regular exports, but they have not updated the structure of the backup export to match. Having been a programmer for many years I could create a Python script that can do a simple syntactical conversion on the old backup format files to the current format, but I have no idea if 1) the HX community is generally comfortable with running scripts like these, 2) if there's not already a fix underway from Line6, and 3) if this is even a common issue at all for most users.

Um, yeah, about that. It's a large thread and I didn't have time to go through the full thing. So no, I didn't check it... :-)

Yep, that worked.

Hmm, that remark about the bug got me thinking. I've analysed the JSON structure that is generated from the exports (yay for Line6 making it a human readable format!) This one is what is exported from the backup: { "meta" : { "name" : "Ian's P.Y.T.", "build_sha" : "v2.92-565-g021787c" }, "device" : 2162694, "tone" : { ... etc } }, "device_version" : 50397184 } But an export from HX Edit looks like this: { "data" : { "meta" : { "name" : "Ian's P.Y.T.", "application" : "HX Edit", "build_sha" : "v2.92-565-g021787c", "modifieddate" : 1617105498, "appversion" : 50397184 }, "device" : 2162694, "tone" : { ... etc }, "device_version" : 50397184 }, "meta" : { "original" : 0, "pbn" : 0, "premium" : 0 }, "schema" : "L6Preset", "version" : 6 } There is quite obviously a structure difference. I think I can get my backup exports working if I convert the top version to the bottom version. I'll check that.

Oooh darn. I don't think I have other exports of my presets... *cries*

Hi, I just did a backup, updated my HX Stomp to 3.11, and did a switch 2+3 reset. So far, so good, no problems. I extracted the presets from the backup with that handy-dandy function in HX Edit, and wanted to import specific presets back in. But I get this message: HX Edit was unable to import presets in this set due to following errors: -8103 - Target is incompatible. Anybody any clue what's going on? Here's one of the presets: Preset100-Ian's P.Y.T..hlx

@zappazapper and @datacommando, both thx for the tips. It has helped me to at least get the basics so I'm starting to google the correct search terms :-).

Hi, I've just bought an HX Stomp as a relatively-beginner-bass player. I like the challenge of diving into things and going up a steep learning curve, but I have trouble finding some tutorials, books, lessons, anything on the basic terminology used. The big thing I'm trying to do is to recreate the sounds that are in this video: Doesn't have to be perfect, but I'm having REAL trouble getting something even close. Octaver is okay, Chorus is fine (Ian actually uses an HX Stomp for that), the equivalent of the Doom 2 is sort-of close by tinkering with fuzzes, but the envelope filter? I'm just totally failing there. I'm playing around with the autofilter, but I don't really understand what all the settings truly mean and their relationship to each other. I have a rough idea, but truly understanding Q, Sensitivity, Frequency, Direction... what does it really mean in this context? And the order of the blocks, should I do something there? Use compression? And where? (On another note: IRs, amps, cabs. I just have a simple Rumble 40. Why would I care about these things? Should I?) So yeah, really basic stuff for most of you, I guess. Any tips on where to find "The Beginner's Guide to Sound"?
