The Zoom MS series (which is about a decade older than this), also a stomp sized FX pedal that can do the "one pedal substitute" thing, but Zoom had the foresight to give users the ability to chain multiple FX within presets. Can even switch them off one by one. And it has amp sims, and costs a fraction of the HX One. If Zoom could do that years ago, then I have to question why Line 6 didn't. Intentionally or unintentionally - I think they missed a trick here and could have done better feature-wise and/or price wise.
You can have orange jam which is made from the flesh of an orange. It's called orange jam and is not a marmalade.
Both jams and marmalades are preserves.
Edit: although I can't answer where babies come from. One of the mysteries of the universe I guess.
There's a bit more, then a lot more, then after that you work in multiples which is what this is.
Used is a moot point, since the HX One 2nd hand market doesn't exist yet.
£249 is great value, when compared to a Strymon single pedal (V2's are around £350) or something like an Eventide H9.
Why not a middle ground between this thing and an hxfx?
Three buttons, one for each effect on off and patches. Oops! The Hx stomp already does that. Or for myself, more precisely the better sounding gt-1000 core.
I assume they looked at m5 sales and figured there is a place for not-totally-realistic but versatile do-it-all single effect on a traditional board. For the kind of player who wants an occasional special effect like a phaser, chorus, tremolo, octaver and already has dedicated drives & delays.
I know you can get a used HX Effects for similar price to this, but there's a certain ease and clarity of a single (fairly) simple pedal which is what helped make the M5 so popular. If you want to layer stuff or complicated routing options there's loads of stuff out there already to cover that ground. I'm well up for getting one of these.
You could think of it as a more fully featured DD-200 / Wampler Terraform type thing rather than a scaled back Stomp
I've had a Stomp and Floor so I know the Helix effects are fantastic. One effect at a time doesn't bother me, I don't need phaser with my chorus and delay/reverb are covered elsewhere on the board.
Colour me interested!
This cracks me up about the M5, and about the HX One- so many responses saying "impractical", "unrealistic", "what's the point?" then just as many saying "this is perfect", "so useful".
So many ways to go about getting the sounds you need, so many people convinced theirs is the only one.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
This is a feature of all the HX series units, including the HX One.
This feature alone makes the HX One much more practical than the M5 as a "toolbox" pedal.

All of them best left to a professional fitter, IMO.
But would definitely recommend the microchip-activated ones, particularly if you live in a densely-catted area. Those little shits have no sense of decorum or propriety, and scorn the concept of private property.

Can only speak for my own needs and I only ever use one mod, delay, pitch changing thingmyjig at a time so it being able to only do one isn't a problem at all. Something that sounds good, easy to power and takes up minimal space is indeed "so useful". If others have more complex requirements then that's fine but it's clearly not a product aimed at them.
Don't even get me started on those dickheads.
