Hey all!

I've got a dozen different NDSP Plugins but nothing to control them with with my feet.

My buddy got a new Helix and is willing to sell me his HX Stomp XL + an expression pedal that plugs into it for dirt cheap.

I know the HX Stomp XL has some midi capabilities - is it possible to plug it into my computer and use the switches for preset switching/pedals and the HX Expression pedal for pedal effects like laser/modulation on Misha?

I tried searching on Google and found some people talking about ways to use the HX as a midi for other things but couldn't find any about using HX as a midi for NDSP on your computer.

Thanks in advance!

One of the most common questions I see on here is asking what each Archetype's amps are modeled after. I created this to be an easy copy-and-paste link to send to anyone asking in the future. I will do my best to update this as new ones come out, until I die or stop using reddit.

Thank you to /u/irq013 and his/her original thread here which inspired me to make a final version. I used that thread as a starting point, got some help from the comments, and then spent a few hours checking official sources to make sure they are as accurate as possible.

If you have any information to add, or something to change, please let me know in the comments with an official source (if there is one) and I will edit as needed.
