Am I missing something?

Or is it really not possible to save a preset to a blank user slot? Seems I can only save in the sub-group I'm in (Factory 1 to Factory 1, Factory 2 to Factory 2, etc). Hopefully I just missed a step. The users manual isn't helpful at all on this.

Cannot check on my Helix at the moment but when you press save and you're choosing destination slot for saving your tone isn't there both preset number/name and setlist number/name there to select? I believe so...

 

EDIT: Just checked the manual, it is there (page 16). After pressing Save (once) you get to select both preset (Destination - knob 5) and "sub-group" (Setlist - knob 4). Perhaps "sub-groups"/setlists are just given there (over knob 4) by number, not their name, which is confusing you?

It works I've done it

Thank you, Kronda. The nomenclature of "Set List" was throwing me off (and maybe tinkering way too late).

 

While "It works I've done it" is positive and encouraging, it's not particularly helpful :P

Correct. While on the Save screen, Knobs 4 (Setlist) and 5 (Destination) determine to where you'll save the setlist. The inspector header (where it says "Replace...") tells you what preset you'll replace, even if it's an empty one; eg. "New Preset".

 

Helix has 1,024 preset locations, but fewer than 300 are filled up from the factory.
