The HX FX is exactly that, just effects. AFAIK.

 

Helix Stomp is the full fat Helix engine, just without the buttons and connectivity. 

 

Pod Go has nearly all the amp/cab & effect models from the Helix, but there's compromises with the processing power and available blocks. However, if you don't use too many effects, then it's great. Love mine.

The HX FX has just the effects patches of the helix, rather than the amplifier and cab modelling, although it does have IRs if you need those. It can use 6 'blocks' of effects, where the full helix and LT have 12.

The HX Stomp is the cut down box, it does have the amp and cab modelling, and also 6 blocks, but some amps and cabs use more than 1 block. It also has a limited number of buttons (but is smaller). There is another variation. HX Stomp XL, which is exactly the same as the HX Stomp in structure but has more buttons and is bigger.

 

The Pod go is a different family, so there isn't a direct comparison, it is more traditional effects pedal which doesn't have the same kind of routing options and is ideal if you want something simple.

The HX Stomp now has 8 blocks available.
