Settings in L6T file

[xoypij]

Hi

I have the Helix Floor and found a L6T (POD) file I'd like to try.

Is there anyway to observe the settings in an L6T file so that I can create a similar preset in Helix?

Thank You

Don't waste your time... even if you were able to view the various settings, you're comparing apples to oranges. They are entirely different modeling engines, and merely transposing parameter settings of the same name between devices guarantees absolutely nothing in terms of what the final result will be. It wouldn't be at all surprising if they sounded nothing alike.

I agree with the above comments by cruisinon2.

 

To illustrate....., to my knowledge L6t format tone files are compatible with one (but likely only one) of several earlier Line 6 multi-FX products such as Pod XT or Pod X3. The respective editors for those products require that the associated hardware device be connected in order to load and inspect the tone file in the editor.

 

So in my opinion the effort you would have to go through to achieve what you want is:

1) identify which hardware device your specific L6t tone file is compatible with;

2) obtain the associated hardware device and connect it to your computer;

3) download and install the device editor;

4) listen to the preset/tone. IF you like it, proceed..... 

5) manually take detailed notes of the preset, including all blocks and parameter settings.

6) reconstruct the preset in Helix based on your notes in step 5.

7)  listen to the sound and compare it to the sound in step 4. For the reasons mentioned by cruisinon2 you will likely be very surprised and disappointed

8) begin tweaking in HX Edit to achieve the tone you imagined.

 

OR..... forget steps 1-7, listen to cruisinon2, and begin with step 8.

Basically Im figuring out the guitar tone for "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morrisette for an audition.   DIdn't find a tone for her on Helix, but found one on the Pod page.

I've been playing that tune live for years...all you need is a clean tone with a little chorus and tremolo for the intro and bridge (the optical trem works nicely), and any old Marshall-y mid-gain crunch for the pre-chorus and chorus sections. Quite frankly, the guitar tones on that album are $hit awful. Multi-platinum though it may be, that record just doesn't sound good. Just about anything you come up with will be better by default...just get in the ballpark, and worry about knowing the tune. Having "the sound" doesn't mean anything if you don't have the notes under your fingers.

Thanks...Got the notes :)

Will work on the tone!
