When I use a set list for a gig, but I tweak something in preparation for the gig in the Stadium Editor, it causes the Stadium to always use the USER Set List (or Master Set List or ALL Presets setlist - whatever it is supposed to be called). I then have to go into the Stadium itself and select the Set List that I was using because the Stadium editor changed the preset that I tweaked and therefore switched to the USER Set list. This is a very annoying behavior since the USER Set List is the Master Set List which can get very big over time (unless you employ a separate maintenance strategy requiring you to keep the USEER Set List (Master Set List or whatever) organized (which is quite the chore in itself). I think that Line 6's approach of using pointers for every Preset was a pretty BAD IDEA. It is something that I have used in Windows (various versions over the decades) very sparingly and for specific purposes. I think that it causes more headaches than it solves and this may just be another example of that. Am I misunderstanding how presets work on the Stadium and perhaps there is a better way. Let me know what works best for you or if you find it just as frustrating.

Hey Helix community! I’ve been working with a custom GPT called The Amazing Line 6 Helix Preset Creator. The big difference is that it doesn’t just suggest settings or describe a signal chain — it can actually create a real downloadable .hlx Helix preset file that you can import into HX Edit / Helix Native and use as a starting point. You can describe a tone, artist-style reference, song vibe, gain level, effects, snapshots, or routing idea, and it will try to build a usable preset file from that request. You can also upload an existing .hlx file and ask it to modify the sound: less wet, tighter low end, more lead boost, less muddy, more ambient, different snapshots, added effects, etc. Important note: this is still a beta. Sometimes the first file may need a correction before it loads properly, so you may need to send feedback and let it fix the .hlx. But that’s also part of the cool workflow — you can keep asking for changes, additions, and tone improvements until the preset gets closer to what you want. It’s not meant to magically clone tones perfectly, but it can do something most tools don’t: turn a tone idea into an actual Helix preset file, not just advice. For me, the real value is using it as a fast creative starting point, then fine-tuning by ear in HX Edit or Helix Native. https://chatgpt.com/g/g-69f387c199e08191afa3ed8423a18c50-the-amazing-line-6-helix-preset-creator gilmour_wall_cn_lead_v1.hlx

We have some important info for those of you planning on updating to Helix Stadium/XL from Helix/HX devices: *Make sure your Helix/HX has been updated to 3.50 or newer firmware BEFORE you export any of your stuff *Helix Stadium cannot import full-state BACKUPS from Helix/HX. However, you can extract Presets, IRs, and Favorites (which all CAN be loaded into Helix Stadium) from a backup file via HX Edit, even if you don’t have Helix/HX hardware. From HX Edit’s File menu, select "Extract Files From Backup.” *If you still have your Helix/HX hardware (or Helix Native), presets, IRs, and even favorites can be dragged out of HX Edit/Helix Native to your desktop or any finder window and then dragged back into Stadium via the Helix Stadium app *We’ve mentioned this before, but note that the older Hybrid cab engine is NOT in Helix Stadium—only the new cab engine that came with 3.50 and later builds. Any presets with Hybrid cabs will automatically load an equivalent new cab, which will sound different. *Also note that, at least at launch, Stadium won't be able to automap your IR library to existing presets, due to its all new, much more powerful file system. Unfortunately, you'll need to write down which IR(s) each preset uses. We're hoping that automapping might work in a future FW rev (depending on how annoying it is), but there's no promise—much less timeline—implied. *There are a few other minor caveats (select HX EQ models appearing as our new 7-band Parametric, EQ bandwidth and slope improvements, pan laws, parallel vs. serial levels, single vs. dual cab levels, etc.) but we're currently working on a document (and accompanying video perhaps?) called something like "Getting Ready For Helix Stadium” which will provide details So while transferring presets from Helix/HX to Stadium may not be perfectly seamless, Helix/HX presets are actually sounding a bit better in Stadium, which can be apparent in reverb tails, noise level, headroom, etc.

High Quality Strymon-like Presets For All Line 6 devices
mw4d posted a topic in Promote Your Patches
Hello friends, hope you’re all doing great and enjoying your gear! Lately we’ve noticed a growing demand in the community for high-quality Line 6 presets that can stand next to sounds from units like the Strymon BigSky, Timeline, Eventide, or TC Electronic. So we took that as a challenge and after months of careful tweaking, testing, and late-night sessions, we made it happen. The feedback so far has been amazing - from players all over the world, as well as several YouTube demos and reviews from creators across different styles. After some thought, we decided it’s time to share these packs more widely instead of keeping them hidden away. So what do we have? We wanted to create something truly special for the Line 6 community, so we’ve created two best-selling preset packs that our community absolutely loves, praised for their authentic, atmospheric sound. • Reflections – lush reverb tones inspired by Strymon and Eventide units. • Aura – a collection of delay and modulation sounds inspired by legendary units like the Strymon Timeline and TC Electronic Flashback. Both packs are designed for Line 6 Helix (Floor/LT/Rack), Native, HX Stomp (XL too), POD Go, and HX Effects. They’ve already found their way into countless rigs and have become some of our most popular releases. We also have free versions of these packs available for anyone who wants to test them out first. The links below will direct you to the Helix versions of the presets, but please keep in mind that these products are also available for other Line 6 devices. On our website and on our YouTube channel (Noise Harmony) you can find audio previews, full songs using the presets, and a playlist of reviews that show the sounds in action. Reflections (reverbs): https://www.noiseharmony.com/helix-reverbs-reflections AURA (delay/mod): https://www.noiseharmony.com/line-6-helix-presets-aura-delay https://youtu.be/XeyAk7mF_QU We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback - feel free to share your impressions if you give them a try! All the best, Kamil from Noise Harmony -

Hello guys I just built some new tones that took months of work. I think that the Periphery fans are going to enjoy them. This Bass preset is meant to emulate exactly Nolly's iconic P3 Bass tone. It also features a custom Impulse Response. The Guitar preset is just pure djent and it also features a custom Impulse Response. Let me know what you think! https://www.sbtones.com/product-category/helix/

Hello everyone, I have the Spider V 30 MkII amplifier. It has a huge list of presets that I don't need, and since the list is so long, I spend a lot of time browsing through them. I would like to delete most of them and keep only the ones I need. If anyone knows how to do this, please help me

I just bought a used Line 6 Flextone Duo a couple months ago and it has an issue where the presets will not allow me to save, or adjust them. Ill press save and select a channel but it will just switch to that channel instead of saving. I've tried resetting the presets, I've tried pressing them randomly while trying to save on them, I've used manual mode to create the tone and switching after pressing save. I don't know what to do, and I hope I didn't just waste my money on a lemon of an amp. (also has issues with the compressor sounding like its moving all over the place, and its randomly changing the tone while playing. It will be more clear one second, but then sound muffled, then moves around like that) -
Hello guys I just built some new tones that took months of work. I think that the Periphery fans are going to enjoy them. This Bass preset is meant to emulate exactly each parallel signal on the Neural DSP Parallax plugin. It also features a custom Impulse Response. Let me know what you think! P.S: I am saying "exactly", because I literally tested every single amp sim on the Fractal and Helix arsenal, until I found the single amp sim that fitted perfectly. https://www.sbtones.com/product-category/helix/

Hello, How can we retrieve the presets, snapshots, bank names or list using MIDI ? (SysEx,CC, PC, Note or else ?) Is this possible ? Thank you very much for any help on it. Best regards. -
I've scoured the manual and noted the various MIDI settings, but I can't see a way of scrolling up/down through presets via MIDI... Am I missing something? I'm running a GigRig G3 and it would be great to be able to assign a footswitch to "preset up/down"

Hi all.... I'm a noob to the game. Bought a used POD X3 Live and am running the learning curve to get the most out of it. After installing Gearbox on my Mac Book Pro running Sierra (v10.12.6) I noticed a few folders in the Line 6 directory created in my Doc's. There's plenty of 'presets / patches' in there but none of them will load into Gearbox's 'Hardware Memory Window'! The message displayed is always "Tone Load: Unable to load tone; Reason (Code 8000A009) Unsupported patch type". Are these 'registered patches' that I need to pay for or is there something wrong with the file extension (.l6t) .... if so... why does Gearbox provide these as 'available' when you install it but then block them from use? I've looked for this 'error message' in other treads here in the Line 6 Community but the few I found have 0 responses and are over a decade old! I'm currently reading the Gearbox_Help.pdf but there's a LOT of info in that and is taking some sweet time to get through. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -
Before I start - I've already updated the firmware on my Stomp (3.50), and HX Edit is on the latest version (3.51). I've also restored the factory settings on the device itself by holding down the two right pedals and turning on the unit. Additionally, I've uninstalled and reinstalled HX Edit. Nothing has worked so far. My computer is running the latest version of macOS Ventura 13.2.1. My issue is - anytime I try to import a new preset into HX Edit and subsequently onto HX Stomp, HX Edit crashes entirely and I have to relaunch. I've tried dragging and dropping presets onto a New Preset slot, selecting a New Preset slot and clicking Import, and File -> Import Preset - all to the same effect. I've attached three screenshots of the issue, so hopefully that helps. The preset I attempt to import in the video is from Alex Strabala's Matchless HX Stomp series. It is clearly marked as an HX Stomp preset. Hoping someone else has experienced this and resolved it. Super frustrating, as part of the reason I purchased the Stomp was to load custom presets from creators. If I can't figure this out, I'm not sure why I'd use the unit. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have two problems folks: 1. Has anyone else had a problem with making the Auto Volume model work properly on the second bank of presets? 2. Is anyone aware of a way to achieve spillover between presets? -
My Pod HD500X recently packed up (le cry) and I had the Bass Amp Pack downloaded on it which I purchased about a year ago. I bought a NEW HD500X for teaching and because it's familiar - but I can't find a way to redownload my previous bass settings with the pack. Is this possible to transfer packs over from one HD500X to another? -
Yo stompers! I'm using the stomp XL in a show so I've got loads of snapshots to play through. I've currently got it set up so that I cycle through the 4 snapshots then move onto a new preset with 4 more snapshots (repeat ad nauseam). The issue I have is that when I switch to the next preset, snapshot 1 isn't auto selected. Sometimes it's on 2, sometimes 3, sometimes 4(!). How do I set it to default to snapshot 1 when moving to a new preset? Thanks.

Hi, I use an hx stomp in snapshot mode with a dissster area designs micro midi switch to scroll up and down through the preset list. This works great. However due to a fat feet issue I inherited from my grand mother I occasionally, in the heat of the moment, find myself stepping on two foot switches at once and instead of switching to a searing solo snapshot that wows my legion of fans, I end up in scroll mode and have to smile and hope my facial expressions convey the epic tone I was meant to switch to. Is there any way to disable this dual foot switch ‘preset list scrolling’ feature on the stomp?

HI! I have a faves of chase bliss audio Do you think I can do something with the HX effects via MIDI? I think it could be interesting

I was wondering if anyone was aware of a site or forum that might have other's takes on how to set your presets to sound like "insert player/band/song here". For example, a simple one might be Kurt Cobain's tone for "Come As You Are". I play in a cover band that does a pretty wide range of tunes and it would make life a little faster if there was a good reference/starting point out there!

I have a Pod Go, but i'm confused about the extra momentary switches you can connect. Is it possible to assign two more presets to the momentary switches when in preset mode, without switching banks?
