You are incorrect. The HX Effects can load IRs.

I just ordered a BGM Elevation pickup for a Martin 000-18 I recently acquired. The BGM supposedly has lower output, but higher fidelity than a K&K and needs a little preamp assistance. What is your take on counting on the HX for a decent gain boosting acoustic preamp?

No problem. The mic preamp has plenty of gain.

Would the HX Effects be better than the HX Stomp for an acoustic gig if I want to transfer Tonedexter IR's to it?

The HX effects doesn’t have those features, but is more user friendly for making changes while performing. If I had a do over, I would probably have bought the Stomp as I do almost all of my adjustments through my computer

The input stage of helix has a parameter for
input inpedance. 1 mgohm is one of the choices if you want to set it manually. It also has an auto impedance detection choice as well. i use the stomp with a kk and it sounds fine on auto. I have a gib hummingbird ir that i rum as a block at about 30% mix and it sounds really good. |

EQ
I’ve mentioned this in another Helix thread, the parametric eq is fantastic. You can create a really versatile feedback suppressor with it. The Q adjustment aligned with variable cut/boost of the offending frequency can be tweaked to the point of not sucking your overall tone with. Far better than what you get on acoustic amps. If you have a serious problem with multiple frequencies just add another block, but I’d doubt you’d need more than one. Lots of eq options to play with.
I did attend a Line 6 HX / Helix seminar and told the presenter Line 6 should do more to promote this for acoustic players. Most of their marketing goes toward electric guitar amp modeling. I run all of my instruments through my Helix.

More Helix
Here's something else I posted on another forum, the Helix can actually work as a standalone pedal synth with no instrument plugged into it:
