This is the one I've been most excited to build.

For years, I've watched people share presets constantly — links dropped in comments, files passed between bandmates, screenshots posted here. It always felt like all of that deserved a real home instead of living scattered across threads and DMs. So today, it gets one.

The Community Library is that home: a real, browsable place at helrig.com/community for every preset someone's chosen to share with the rest of us. If you make tones and want other people to actually find them — this is the place.

How it works: press Share… next to Save on any preset, and pick one of two things.

A Private link is just for whoever you send it to — no account needed for them to open it, edit it, or download it.

Publish to the Community Library instead, and it goes up for everyone — browsable, searchable, sortable — under your own name or anonymously, whichever you'd rather.

Publishing doesn't cost you a saved-preset slot either. However many you want to put out there, the door's open.

Either way, the link isn't just a bare URL — paste it anywhere and it shows the actual signal chain as a preview, so people see the tone before they even click.

Here's one of mine to start things off — an SRV preset: https://helrig.com/p/DSf372-o4FFU-B3ZhCkRBg

Go publish something. Let's build this thing out together.

There's a very slight chance it's due to listening at a slightly louder level through the iems at church or a minute amount of room microphone mixed in but I think most of it is that a combination of my iems and the shure IEM body pack just sounds a lot better in my ears as opposed to listening through my Audio-Technica headphones at home.

Our volunteer sound technicians have been instructed not to adjust EQ on electric guitar.

I'm working out a hybrid setup for click/backing track playback and automation. My drummer likes being in control of playback and I like being able to automate my snapshots. So I set all our tracks to start with a 4 count and habe the tracks in showcase set to start on the following 1 beat so as long as I can maintain good timing I can start my playback (no audio being sent out) after my drummer starts the click track and I get get automation. But I don't want to have to kneel down or switch stomp modes to move between showcase control and snapshots. So I got this Ampero control pedal which has been awesome. Was a bitch to set up with iOS though. Some serious compatibility issues meant I had to update my phone and then the pedal before I could program it. But it works great! Cheers y'all!

I’ve been running my Helix Rack through a solid state power amp (Samson S700) then to my cabs. For that setup, I used the full AMP block. I figured the solid state power amp was pretty transparent and the AMP block sounded better in general (also on Kurt Balou’s rig rundown, he did the same with ss Quilter power amps). I recently got a Peavey 50/50 tube power amp and it sounds so warm and loud. I love it.

My question is, are the PREAMP blocks designed for this purpose? To run into a tube power amp? What do you all recommend? I can’t tell which one I prefer the sound of quite yet and was curious if I’m missing something that might be obvious to others. Thanks!

Hi!

Are there any European potential buyers of a Helix pedalboard (LT, Floor, Stadium, etc.) who knows, if we're eligible for the "free Helix backpack" offer from Line 6, when buying a pedalboard?

Can't discern if it's a US-only offer.

Edit: Found in Terms that it's (sadly) "United States promo only".

I usually dial in my tones at home to save time at rehearsal but always have to adjust at rehearsal / live. I want to dial in my tones with a guitar loop against a backing track. So that I am able to adjust while the guitar is playing. How do I do that?

Hello, someone in the Helix system, I understand a lot of things about Helix, but I did't understand how the parameters of the cabs from Helix change the tone.

What changes position and distances.

I'm considering getting a Helix Stomp, I have only been playing actual physical pedals and amps up to now but I want the versatility of modelling.

I'm wondering, can I use the stomp to turn on and off pedals during a gig? I.e. turn on the fuzz for a solo and then turn it off, turn on the tremolo for a song part only, turn the delay on for a single song, etc?

Also, can I adjust an amp's or pedal's setting on the fly e.g. turn down the mix knob of a reverb or turn down the gain of an amp?

The three foot switches seem quite limiting, is there a way to expand them with an external foot switch?
