I'm in the process of putting together a small grab & go gig rig. The HX Effects seems to be the ideal candidate for a small board with a few analog drives. I've been doing the usual internet diving and getting mixed reviews on how transparent it is when set up correctly. I won't be using it 4CM, just straight into a clean amp. It seems a lot of people ran into issues 4CM or using the loops (An impedance or buffering thing I guess?)
If you're using or have used one in the past - Any comment on if it messes with the tone / feel of your rig? Any feedback on the unit in use would be helpful.
Cheers all!

Variety of use cases:
While I may not have the ears of a connoisseur, as some around here seem to, I've never noticed any tone suck or downsides.
I've tried A-B ing stuff as much as I can but to my ears it's all good.
It seems an entirely adequate sounding piece of kit with a fair few functions as well as the sounds. Quite a big unit for a small board with external pedals, but I guess if it was smaller people would just moan about that as well.
It's decent if not amazing
