Killer Cleans

I just got my strat upgraded with Duncan SSL-1 pickups, and this patch is just amazing for it. Beautiful cleans and some optional Tube Screamer and Tape Echo to get you going.

Slash Mod 2204

Most of the Slash patches I get all sound thin and frankly a little weird. He has a very straightforward tone. I tried to capture the spirit of his tone here. It's a bit fuzzy but I think it works well in a mix or for some headphone soloing.Sorry for the horrible soloing in my SoundCloud demo. My 6 year old thinks I sound great....

Green Day Dookie Tone

This stereo tone replicates Billie Joe's tone on Green Day's Dookie album pretty well. There's a compressor and boost available for a little extra oomph, but they're off by default because they're not really needed to get the album tone.I used a Les Paul to record the Soundcloud demo, you may want to try a Strat or P90 guitar for a little extra high end.

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

This is a slightly altered version of josepqr's patch on Custom Tone.To get the Gilmour tone, you need a single coil pickup, preferably a Strat.The patch has 3 snapshots, so make sure you cycle through them to get the range of tones in the preset.

Van Halen One for Stomp

This is a simple patch for achieving a close approximation of the sound on the Van Halen 1 album. Reverb is on the right and more direct signal on the left which is like the album. You can simply move the move the reverb up out of the path 2 back into path 1. I have a video with me going through various songs from the album. In the video I am using my EB MM Axis that is about 20 years old now. The pickups in that guitar are amazing.

DTS Rectified

This is how Dual Recto should sound when it's maxed out! :) Adjust the Gain from Amp and TS808 to your taste.

Litigate

All Litigator, all the time.3 snapshots - clean, slightly dirtier with delay, and a higher gain tone.Uses the Allure IR Pack, which is available for free from Line 6, Google it.

Soldano

My take on Soldano amp with 3 gain stage. The first is the amp drive only (FS1), the second a Boost (FS2) and the third a TS style OD (FS4) - Sounds perfect with a Gibson ES-335, huge tone with tamed low ends and OD that cuts though the mix.

Guitar Goes Bass

Who needs a bass player anyway? Not you if you've got this patch. Made it with a simple SG, and now I sound like a thundering bass god. Now you can too.

FAQs

What is the difference between helix patch and preset? ›

Each patch includes a stock Helix-ready version, which is designed to be used in 'Snapshot' modes, and is set up with snapshots for precise parts in a song. A Helix preset is a patch pre-loaded into the memory of a synthesizer by the manufacturer. The patch can be loaded into RAM where you can edit or overwrite it.

Do HX Stomp patches work on HX Stomp XL? ›

This is a cool unit that gives you a cleaner solution than adding external footswitches for controlling additional parameters with your feet. The HX Stomp XL is compatible with patches made for the original HX Stomp, and is also compatible with Helix patches that use less than 8 blocks.

Does the pod go have the same amps as the helix? ›

The amp and effect models are excellent. They both mostly cover the same stuff - over 80 amp models (pretty much everything you could ever want from Fender to Soldano) and hundreds of effects, including models of “unobtainable” pedals, such as the KLON.

How do I download a patch file? ›

There are two methods for getting the patch file:
  1. By appending . patch at the end of the url displayed in gitlab when viewing a commit or a Merge Request.
  2. By using the Email Patches option in the Gitlab UI.

How do you bypass the HX stomp? ›

TIP: Press the Upper Knob and Lower Knob together to bypass HX Stomp completely.

How to install presets on hx stomp? ›

Installation
  1. Connect your HX Stomp to your computer.
  2. Download and launch HX Editor.
  3. Locate the Patches folder in the file you downloaded from Multitracks.com.
  4. Drag and drop the .hlx files into the Presets list in HX Edit.
  5. Enjoy your new tones!

How many presets are in line 6 Helix? ›

128 presets each. Model Each processing block can accommodate one model (or in some cases, two models).

What is the difference between a patch and a plugin? ›

Plugin = Think of a plugin as hardware (EQ, Reverb, Compressor, etc), that has been turned into software and can be used by your DAW as such. Patch = A patch typically refers to a sound setting in a hardware or software synth. So if you turn on a synth and start scrolling through the built in sounds, those are patches.

How do I get factory presets for Helix? ›

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.

What is the difference between HX Stomp and xl? ›

The HX Stomp XL is essentially the HX Stomp (a pared-down Helix with all of the same sounds but in a tiny enclosure) with more footswitches. Yes, that's literally it. And for lots of guitar players, it's perfect.

Which is better HX Stomp or HX Effects? ›

We would argue that the HX Stomp is the better value and is going to have more appeal to a wider range of people. However, if you really don't want the amp modeling features and you prefer to have more footswitches for more control, the HX Effects would steal the crown back.

Is HX Stomp better than Iridium? ›

What you need in your own rig will determine how you value these two pedals and which one will work better for you. If you need effects and flexibility, go with the HX Stomp. But for a more pure tone and simple amp replacement, the Iridium is a better (and cheaper) option.

Does Pod Go have XLR out? ›

You can also connect the POD Go directly to a mixer or PA system using balanced TRS to XLR male cables. This is especially useful in live situations so that the front of house can adjust your levels directly from the mixing board.

How do I backup my Helix patch? ›

Connect Helix to your computer and launch HX Edit. From the File pull-down menu, select “Create Backup…” Follow the prompts to create a full-state backup of your Helix (Global Settings, IRs, setlists, and presets).
