The Line 6 HX Stomp has taken the pedal world by storm over the last few years, and rightly so. Boasting an astonishing number of effects, combinations, routing options and overall tweakability, it is a compact, powerful processor that can just about do it all. But, let’s face it, any help to make a complex machine like this work is always welcome, and the crew at JET Pedals has answered the call in a BIG way. The Micro is a small MIDI Controller designed to work specifically with the HX Stomp, opening up the possibilities of control for this instantly classic pedal.
With the JET Micro, you are able to completely unlock the HX Stomp with immediate access to bypass blocks, toggle effect parameters up & down, assign multiple blocks & effect parameters to a single button, scroll through presets, toggle between snapshots, tap tempo AND utilize the built-in tuner & looper. It’s compact, simple, intuitive, and couldn’t be easier to use. Designed for the person that likes to get down to business and “plug & play” rather than trying to understand the complex ins & outs of MIDI programming, it can squeeze onto almost any board with ease, saving valuable real estate.
Comprised of 3 soft-touch momentary switches, the Micro has 3 main modes to work with:
Stomp Bank (Red LED) Toggle blocks on/off or parameters up/down (can assign multiple parameter adjustments and/or blocks to one switch); Activate Snapshots on the fly (no need to “Page” over to access Snapshots); Normal & Fast scrolling thru presets (no need to “Page” over to access preset scrolling)
Looper Bank (Green LED) Offers complete control over the built-in Looper block
Tap Tempo / Tuner Bank (Blue LED) Easy access to tap tempo and the built in tuner; Tap tempo & the tuner is always available no matter which bank you are in; Tap Tempo can be sent thru the Stomp and up to 5 other MIDI pedals; Can activate the built-in tuner on the Eventide H9
MIDI has always been a little intimidating to a lot of us, but the JET Pedals Micro dismisses those fears in a hurry, with an extremely user-friendly attitude and concise, straightforward instructions that help you get the control you need over your Line 6 HX Stomp in no time flat. Our demo below with show you some of the features, caveats and wonders that this little controller is capable of (along with some of the glorious sounds you can coax out of the HX Stomp), so be sure to watch the entire thing so you don’t miss a trick. Cheers to the JET Pedals crew on a job well done – looking forward to seeing what’s around the corner next for these guys, for sure…
