Best place for ALL IN ONE presets/config? Helix LT Modeling

[fieldsweeper]

Hello, 

I bought this as a form of amp modeling and effects combo.  I use a  k12.2 speaker and that is all I have for my amp/cab/effects for my guitars.  Mostly as a space saver.  However, I bought some packs, etc and came with IR but I do not know how to really use them. 

I would be willing to pay, free is better however, for some downloads I can load on that are basically the ready to go modeled amp/cab and it would be great if i could also put some effects into them so when I am on that amp/cab I can use the buttons and pedal to have actual effects.  

right now all I can do is either or.  Go to effects presets, OR the amp/cab model presets i bought and loaded.  I have not spent the time to learn how to configure all the stuff as I have not really had time.  I want to get some stuff up and ruining to mess around with in the mean time.  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

 

thanks


PS. I typically prefer classic rock /surf guitar/oldies tones.  I have a wide range BUT those are my starting points.  With a heavy emphasis on David Gilmour/Pink Floyd.   Also I GENERALLY do not do much of my own stuff, I generally prefer to play riffs/ songs I listen too.  I also am kind of  anal about it sounding as close to the recording as possible.  If that makes sense.  (basically those lollipop tutorials on YouTube that sound nothing like the song.  I hate hahah) While I do like weird and Cool sounding set ups. I am not good enough yet to come up with my own songs.  I do f around a bit and come up with occasionally cool short riffs tho.

Although they can serve as a starting point and you may luck into some downloadable presets that work perfectly for you with little to no editing you will generally find that you need to go through the process of investing some time into the LT to get things set up to your satisfaction. There is a bit of a learning curve and no way around that if you want to get the most out of your device.

 

The Line6 site CustomTone has lots of free presets available. Most users find they still have to configure them to their rig to their preference. You may also have to change the settings on the  Input/Output blocks or footswitch assignments depending on how you are connected and how you set up your footswitch layout.

There are also presets available for purchase on the Line6 marketplace. Be aware that if you buy IRs from the marketplace they will have to be registered and may only be available to be used on your HX device.

Here is a link for free IRs. There are others available as well if you type "Free IRs" or "Free Impulse Responses" into the forum's search box.
