Noob Question HX Effects

[ajb1965]

Hi,

 

Is there a way to set the default parameters of an effect in HX Effects so that every time I place it in a chain it's always the same setting?  Example, let's say I want my Compulsive Drive to be set with gain at 5 and level at 3 every time I put it in a new preset.  Can I go into some voodoo somewhere and set like that so every time I drag it into a new preset it's already set?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

This crops up quite often with all the Helix range and the answer is - no! It may be something that you would like to put on “ideascale” (https://line6.ideascale.com/) although if you trawl through the requests on there, you may find someone beat you to it, but you can still upvote the idea.

 

Until this is ever implemented on the Helix family of products, the work around that a lot of people use is to create a preset with a whole bunch of blocks already configured with your fave settings. Once you create this template you simply copy and paste the blocks you need to a new preset. Not a perfect solution, but it works.

 

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the quick reply.  I can make that work!
