Favorite Effects Free Pack – Line 6 Helix, HX Stomp, HX Effects

IMPORTANT NOTES

You must upgrade your Helix, HX Stomp, or HX Effects to firmware version 3.50. Also make sure that HX Edit is updated to 3.50 as well.

With firmware 3.0, Line 6 has introduced the ‘Favorites’ feature. This allows you to save individual effects that can be recalled in any patch. This download includes a collection of our favorite effects and settings – compression, delays, reverbs, drives, modulation, and pitch effects. You can import these ‘favorites’ into your hardware and then use them in any patch.

Reverbs and delays are dialed in to be used post (after) the amp/cab blocks. If you use them in front of an amp block, you will probably want to adjust the mix parameters.

We hope you love using these effects as much as we do – have fun!

HOW TO IMPORT THESE FAVORITES

1. Connect your Helix/Stomp/HX Effects to your computer using a USB Cable
2. Download and instal the ‘HX Edit’ app from Line 6 (version 3.0 or higher)
3. In the ‘HX Edit’ app, drag and drop the files (.fav) into the ‘Favorites’ (on the top left side)
4. You can now add these favorites into any patch you’d like
5. NOTE: If the effect is grayed out in HX effects, it means you do not have enough available DSP to add it to the patch.
