    The isolated loop can also be used as an A/B selector, amp channel switching or remote tap tempo. HEX is very compact, so it can be mounted on a rack shelf or pedalboard. With the optional rack mount bracket, you can fit 2 HEX units in a single rack space.

    If you are using a Voodoo Lab foot controller, such as Ground Control Pro or Commander, it can be phantom powered from HEX. Phantom power is provided over pins 1 and 3 of HEX’s MIDI IN. Make sure to use a MIDI cable with all 5 pins wired. These are often labeled “5-pin active.”...

  • Page 7: Operation

    OPERATION Overview Use HEX front panel buttons to toggle each loop on or off. The buttons glow red when the effect is engaged, otherwise it is in bypass. You need a MIDI controller to recall preset combinations of effects. The following sections explain how to control HEX with various controllers.

    This will send the PC message to HEX. 2) Set the HEX loops to the desired combination. 3) Press HEX buttons #1 and #6 at the same time. The LEDs will blink to confirm that you saved the preset. Now whenever HEX receives this PC message, it will recall your loop settings.

    The default MIDI channel is 1. NOTE: When HEX is being controlled by a Voodoo Lab Ground Control Pro or Commander the MIDI channel setting is ignored. 1) Apply power while holding down button #2. The LEDs will flash until you release the button.
  • Page 10 Select Control Change Numbers Each MIDI Control Change (CC) message includes a controller number, which specifies which HEX loop to turn on or off. You can select from four different groups of CC numbers. The default group is CC numbers 80-85, which means that 80 controls loop #1, 81 controls loop #2, 82 controls loop #3, and 83 controls loop #4, 84 controls loop #5, and 85 controls loop #6.

  • Page 11: Quiet Switching

    Even so, the relays can still produce a small click in your audio path, especially when using very high gain. To eliminate this click, HEX will disable the main output from loop 6 for a few milliseconds while the loops are switching.
