357mag Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I accidentally overwrited a factory preset with one of my own. Is there a way to get back the original preset? Or get back all original presets? I have not seen any videos on YouTube on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW... you should do that with every preset - LOL! I am not a fan of factory presets. None the less, I'll try to help you out :) On 8/16/2022 at 6:23 AM, 357mag said: Is there a way to get back the original preset? Or get back all original presets? Do a full factory reset... it will set the unit to it's factory state and erase "everything" you have done to it. Keep in mind, different firmware versions have different presets.... if your preset was from an older firmware, it may not still exist. In that case, learning how to use HX Edit's backups/restores is your best friend. You don't say what device you have.... so here are the reset options for each one... Helix or Helix LT Restore stock presets + setlists: Hold footswitches 7 + 8. Restore stock presets + setlists + IR’s: Hold footswitches 8 + 9. Restore stock presets + setlists + IR’s and Globals: Hold footswitches 9 + 10. Reset Globals: Hold footswitches 5 + 6. Erase and restore/reset all factory and user presets: Hold footswitches 10 + 11. Erase and clear current preset only: Hold footswitches 11 + 12. Update Mode: Hold footswitches 6 + 12. Helix Rack Restore stock presets + setlists: Hold encoders 3 + 4. Restore stock presets + setlists + IR’s: Hold encoders 4 + 5 Restore stock presets + setlists + IR’s and Globals: Hold encoders 5 + 6. Reset Globals: Hold encoders 2 + 3. Erase and restore/reset all factory and user presets: Hold encoders 1 + 3. Erase and clear all presets, setlists, and IRs: Hold encoders 1 + 5. Update Mode: Hold encoders 1 + 6. HX Effects Restore stock presets: Hold footswitches 5 + 6. Erase and clear all presets + IR’s: Hold footswitches 3 + MODE. Restore all presets + IR’s + global settings: Hold footswitches 6 + TAP. Restore Globals: Hold footswitches 4 + 5. Update Mode: Hold the right arrow “>” button. HX Stomp Erase all presets/IRs: Hold all three footswitches. Erase and reset all presets + IR’s: Hold footswitches 1 + 2. Erase and reset allpresets + IR’s + global settings: Hold footswitches 2 + 3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 This site has all of the old presets. from 2.8 and before. If it's there, you won't have to reboot. http://benvesco.com/store/line-6-helix/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, You could simply use the “File -> Extract Files From Backup” feature, which was added to HX Edit in one of the more recent updates. You can’t extract individual presets, but you can extract an entire setlist, which places all individual preset files (*.hlx) into a single folder. Then you can then drag and drop the preset that was overwritten back into HX Edit. Done! You do have a back up, don’t you? Hope this helps/makes sense.
