Hi ckk0003, Helix Floor, Helix Rack, Helix LT and Helix Native file type suffix is .hlx HX Effects file type suffix is .l6t (like the old POD files) The files are not compatible, They have separate sections on custom tone to avoid this confusion. Page 14 HX Effects Owner’s Manual: NOTE: HX Effects-exported preset files are not able to be imported and used with Helix family devices (Helix Floor, Helix Rack and Helix LT) nor with the Helix Native plug-in software. Likewise, preset and setlist files exported from Helix family devices or Helix Native plug-in are not able to be imported and used on HX Effects devices. There is a whole chunk of info about file compatibility in the HX Edit Pilot’s Guide - see page 3 Click above link or find it under HX Edit prefs - question mark icon on top right. Hope this makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi again ckk0003, As noted above, if you are using HX Edit and a Helix Floor, Rack etc., is connected, then it is not possible to load a *.l6t file. Quite simply, the hardware is not compatible. Likewise, if you have an HX FX unit hooked up to the editor, you cannot load a *.hlx file - it’s a different beast, no amps and cabs. That’s also the reason it is not possible to load patches created for the older POD models. I may be mistaken but I think that there must be some sort of handshake going on between the hardware and software to identify what model is connected. Although, I have never actually tried this as my Helix is constantly wired via USB, but I don’t think it is possible to edit a preset (whatever type) with out the hardware being present. After all, it’s just a remote way of bypassing the physical knobs, switches and dials, and the edits are done in real time. Hope this makes some sense.
