McsLk Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Hello POD GO Users! Together with my friends, we launched a free service (https://helixtopod.com) that allows you to automatically convert any preset dedicated to Helix devices to the requirements of POD GO devices. Use it, send it to your friends, I hope that the guitar community will significantly benefit from such a solution! :) YouTube Tutorial: https://youtu.be/OJHfTDFu-Eg Discord: https://discord.gg/SdScJnew Thanks for any feedback and sharing with your friends! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voxman55 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Looks interesting guys but I can't help thinking that its going to be somewhat limited in practice as most Helix users will be using longer FX chains, FX, amps & cabs that Pod Go doesn't have, dual routing, dual amps/cabs, and then there's the cabinet engine and over-sampling differences which will make it virtually impossible to match Helix tones. The forthcoming Pod Go v1.50 will help to level the playing field here but we are still awaiting this from Line 6 (in fact, it's a year to the day since Pod Go got v1.40). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McsLk Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 Thanks for your opinion! For sure Helix can't be replaced one-to-one, it's physically impossible (2 processing units in most of Helix devices) - Helix Stomp or Helix Effects are another story. Most of presets can be converted by an experienced user. If the user knows what the sound track should look like, he will be able to handle it. Helix to POD is not a remedy for everything, but it allows you to use a much larger library of helix presets (over 9,000 presets, the pod equivalent contains less than 2,000), it also allows for a much wider use of the device than in the basic version (effect paths etc). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElPuni Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Thanks for the tool, just as an advice I used 2 different .hlx files to try and one of them didn´t load (https://line6.com/customtone/tone/6138678/) Will check it with more time at home.

It's already fixed, it was related to unsupported IR bass cabinet from helix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McsLk Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 Hello! Together with our friends we have prepared an update that allows you to download ready-made presets after conversion without the need to provide an email address, I hope it will make it much easier to use the tool, greetings!
