Steve: Great video. For others watching: If you're new to Helix like me, before beginning to go through Steve's instructions, you first need to: 1) go to Global Settings (press the "three lines" square above the word "PRESET" on your Helix); 2) press knob 6, "Global Settings"; then 3) turn knob 3 ("Stomp Mode Switches") to "10 Switches." Thanks again Steve, for another great video!

This is crazy! I think I have the perfect use for this right now, AND the time to figure it out! Some people are doing puzzles, others have a Helix. Stay safe.

Thanks for explaining this, Steve. We appreciate your time showing us. This is making life SO easy.

Man, I slept on this video until now. I use command center just a little to change presets on my strymon pedals via midi, but never really looked at what else was possible. This is the best breakdown by far. Nice work dude.

[Hoagiemon]

I did this with the looper controls but seeing all the other options here, really make this the best live rig in my humble opinion. Thanks Steve.

This is a great my head hurt trying to figure out what I want it to do, but still really just keeps getting better and better...

[sjsphotog]

great tutorial video walkthru Steve. Im sure this will really help those pros who need these kind of advanced features on tour. Just like my Sony camera, you can pretty much setup most of the buttons on the camera to do whatever you want them to do to customize it to your needs. Great stuff. Line 6 keeps giving us great things, for no extra $$ amazing. Keep it up

FANTASTIC WORKFLOW! Read below for how I will use this. First, thank you Steve for the well laid out video. Get me to my preset, get me to my subset (snapshot) and let me modify my sound (stomps) all on one screen. Simple reset back to snapshots without having to switch modes.
HOW I WILL USE THIS . . . My acoustic IR preset will have jumps to my electric presets since I don't need much control on the acoustic preset and will have plenty switches available. My electric presets will have a jump back to my acoustic IR preset. Two buttons to ANY of my main presets organized the way I want. BRILLIANT!

For some reason I had to press twice on snapshots in the stomp view when I set it through the HX Edit desktop app. Setting it up on the Helix Rack worked right away, I've been scratching my head for a while and this video solved my issue instantly. Thanks!

Great video! I'm three years into my Helix and still amazed by it and the continuous updates and improvements. Thanks for sharing this information!

[averageguitarist]

GAME CHANGER! Was trying to figure out how to access my Snapshot 5-8 in some of my presets. Thank you so much!

[timhintz]

Love it! Will make my live playing so much easier as I'm using the Helix to switch light scenes and sometimes having the Program Change on a switch works better than using a snapshot. Now I can have both on one setting of switches, awesome!

[struong]

Thank you for this highly informative video! I’ve had my Helix for just under a week and have done all my edits on the computer, but thanks to this video, I now know how to do it on the unit itself! 🙏🏽

[peterchapman]

Thanks heaps for that, very well explained and super clear! This is HUGE! Going to be so useful for my live setup. Being able to jump to any other preset from a stomp mode - how awesome! No more copying the same patch to another bank just so it is in easy access to another used in the same song. Also, snapshots AND stomp in the same mode! I will definitely editing my current setup to use this.

I love how you are talking about touring as if we are allowed to leave the house

[MD_is_me]

Well done. A teacher in another life, no doubt.

[JimHoy-Rockstar]

This is very simple and to the point. Followed along as directed and worked perfectly. I can think of many uses for this. Thanks Steve!! And thanks for the templates to explain it. Perfect!! Not sure why anyone would give a thumbs down on this, but hey people gonna do what people gonna do:-)

[bobs]

Great video Steve! I am watching all your Helix videos, they are a life saver.

[robgroden]

That is pretty badass. Thanks for taking the time to explain it. I need to rethink everything I know lol.

[andrewbettis]

Would also love to see a demo of how you'd use it in a gigging situation set up like that...
