Mitch Gallagher from Sweetwater presents the Line 6 HX Stomp XL, comparing it with the original HX Stomp model. Both units share the same software, processing power, models, effects, and presets, but differ in size and control options. The HX Stomp XL has a larger form factor, rear connections, and five additional switches that provide enhanced control over presets and effects, making it more user-friendly for those needing more on-the-fly adjustments. Also highlighted are the direct looper controls on the HX Stomp XL as opposed to the MIDI-dependent looper on the HX Stomp. The discussion also covers the physical setups suited for each model, noting that the HX Stomp's compact size is better for smaller pedal boards, whereas the HX Stomp XL, with its additional controls and rear connections, offers greater convenience and flexibility in pedal board arrangement. Ultimately, both units deliver excellent tones, with the choice between them hinging on the user's specific needs for space and control.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the physical and functional differences between the HX Stomp XL and the HX Stomp. Key differences include the relocation of the volume control to a pop-up knob on the back panel and the addition of five extra switches on the HX Stomp XL, facilitating easier access to presets and effects. The HX Stomp XL also integrates six buttons for looper control directly on the unit, compared to the MIDI-dependent looper control on the HX Stomp. The HX Stomp XL offers 128 presets (two more than the HX Stomp) and four snapshots per preset (one more than the HX Stomp). The presenter demonstrates how users can navigate through different modes (preset, snapshot, and stomp) using the foot switches and the up/down bank switches on the HX Stomp XL.
