Hey fellow Helix/HX folks — long-time user here. Been gigging with a Helix since 2015, then switched to an HX Stomp later for portability. Wanted to share something I've been building. I kept wanting a preset editor I could open on whatever was in front of me — laptop, iPad, phone, whatever — without installing anything or having the unit plugged in. Couldn't quite find that anywhere, so I built it myself. Figured some of you might find it useful too. Helrig (helrig.com) — free, runs entirely in your browser: Drag in a .hlx from any of them — Helix Floor, LT or Rack, HX Stomp, Stomp XL, HX Effects, even Helix Native — or pull presets straight out of a .hxb backup or .hls setlist. Start from blank or load a sample to poke around Full signal chain and parameter editing, snapshots included Search blocks by their Line 6 name or by the gear they're modeled after — tube screamer, Fender reverb, JCM-800, whatever you actually think in Auto-detects the device on import and matches the DSP budget/footswitch layout automatically DSP budget enforcement like HX Edit — won't let you overbuild past what the device can actually run Hover a path's DSP icon to see the cost of every block on it, or open the full usage report for the chain — honestly my favorite feature; it's saved me from guessing more times than I'd like to admit Convert a preset between devices, and it tells you exactly what it had to change to fit — rather than quietly mangling it Undo and redo with a named history — "Add Deluxe Comp", not forty rows of "Edit" Share a preset with a link if you want to; the rest of your library stays private and you can revoke it any time Nothing gets uploaded — the file stays in your browser the whole time, no account needed There's an optional account that adds a cloud library — setlists, labels, version history — if you want presets synced across machines. Entirely optional; the editor is identical without it. Direct USB sync to the hardware is in progress but not live yet — right now it's file-in, file-out. Unofficial/independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Line 6 or Yamaha — just a fan-built tool made with a lot of respect for what they've built with Helix/HX, still the best guitar gear after almost 11 years. Rough edges still get fixed fast — if something looks wrong or a block/parameter shows up unlabeled, tell me and I'll dig into it. Feature requests welcome too, including "I wish HX Edit did X" type stuff — that's usually where the good ideas come from.

WARNING! ZOMBIE THREAD! BUT...FWIW - That only affects the blinking of the LED. Tapping to set the actual tempo is still active. Always. Having your Helix for 3 hours is relevant, how?

Line 6 Helix 2.70 Mega-Setlists · 4 Setlists: IRs LG + IRs HG & Cabs LG + Cabs HG. · 232 Presets, each with 8 Snapshots. · 57 solo amp & 175 dual amp presets. · Cab Sets feature L6 Cabs. IR Sets feature IR blocks, but not IR files are provided. BYOIR. · LG = Low Gain (Supro->Plexi Jump). HG = High Gain (2204->L6 amps). · Each amp features Snapshots for Low, Mid, & High Gain settings. · 2 formats for dual amp presets: “Channels” & “Parallel Amps”. · LED rings color coordinated for Snapshots view. · All FX Blocks are custom named. · All Snapshots output leveled to -28.5 LFKS Integrated, ITU-R BS.1770-4, over 15sec of looped open G strumming. · EXP Pedal 2 has additional Mod, Delay, & Reverb settings. · Amp and FX settings largely derived from the SOAS Project (25%) and personal preferences (75%). · To Import, Drag + Drop directly into Helix. Or hit the top left yellow “Import” button & search for “all files” instead of just .hls. I am not sure why the Setlists are saved as .hlx instead of .hls files. · For more information, including lists of all of the amp and effects settings, along with the OwnHammer IR’s I used, please visit: https://l6helix.wixsite.com/helixsoas · To Download the Setlists, please visit: https://line6.com/customtone/profile/Noobian_Prince https://imgur.com/a/Gic53qq

Under the “Display Tap Tempo” setting, it's off. And I've had the Helix for 3 hours.
