About these presets
Helix and HX Stomp presets
Guitar and bass presets built by touring players on their own Helix, HX Stomp and HX One. Hear the demos before you buy.
This page lists 14 Line 6 packs from 8 players. The players include Michael Pope (guitarist for TAYA), John Meding (guitarist for Red Rocks Worship), Ben Bledsoe (bassist for CAIN), Dan Alber (bassist for Kari Jobe & Cody Carnes), and Samuel Rady (bassist for Kameron Marlowe). The packs are made for the Line 6 Helix Native, Line 6 Helix, Line 6 HX Stomp, and Line 6 HX One.
Each pack’s page has the audio demos, the full preset list and the gear it was built on.
Helix and HX Stomp presets, answered
Are these the presets the artists actually use?
Yes. Every pack is made by the artist from their own rig, the sounds they load before they walk on stage. Your guitar, pickups and room aren’t theirs, so treat each preset as a starting point and expect to tweak a few settings.
Will a Helix preset load on my HX Stomp?
Buy the pack made for your unit. Each pack’s page lists what it’s built for. HX Stomp presets import into an HX Stomp XL or a Helix, and HX Edit converts them when you import. A preset built on a full Helix can use more blocks and DSP than a Stomp has.
How do I load them?
Back up your unit first, then import the presets with Line 6’s free HX Edit app. If you get an import error, the preset was made on newer firmware than yours, so update HX Edit and your firmware. Full steps are in our Helix guide, HX Stomp guide and HX One guide.
Do they work in Helix Native?
The packs marked for Helix Native do. Import them the same way, and if you get an IR alert, add the IRs your pack’s manual names. See the Helix Native guide.
Do I need to buy IRs?
Most packs don’t. When a player used paid IRs, the pack’s page and manual say which ones. John Meding’s Helix preset uses two Tone Factor AC30 IRs for his exact cab sound, and stock IRs work fine if you’d rather use your own.
Are there bass presets?
Yes. Samuel Rady’s HX Stomp bass presets cover the road, the church stage and the studio, including a stereo patch with a clean direct on one output. Filter by Bass in the grid for every bass pack.
I’m still on a pedalboard. Should I switch?
Only if it solves a real problem for you. One night Leeland borrowed my board in front of about fifteen thousand people and a patch cable hanging on by a thread killed his sound, so I understand the appeal of one box better than most. I still run a board. Read the full story here.
