The Complete Preset Library is the best deal on my site. This is a massive folder of 186 presets (and 60 impulse responses - both acoustic instruments and guitar cabs) that I'm constantly making updates to. These are the same presets that I personally use live and they represent 5 years worth of building, tuning, and testing in live performance. A "Complete Preset" is one that I've designed on the HX Stomp with the intention of it acting as my entire guitar rig. All presets include amp and cabinet simulation, multiple gain stages, and plenty of effects to cover whatever sort of tone you need. There's something in here for everyone. Click on "Included Files" for a comprehensive list of every preset included in the Complete Preset Library.
 
These presets are designed on the HX Stomp for use in stomp switch mode, but they will work across all of the Helix family units (except for HX Effects due to the amp blocks). If you’d like to create custom snapshots on each preset, it is fairly easy - create a combination of the 5-8 stomps switches in each preset and save it to snapshot 1. Repeat the process for as many snapshots as you’d like. As of March 2024, the Electric Guitar presets now contain snapshot data, though I still prefer stompswitch layout on the smaller HX Stomp devices. For many supporters of this library who use one of the larger Helix units (LT, floor, rack), you’ll find that these presets will cover your basic tones. I know that a lot of people like to take them and use them as the foundation for building their own custom presets around.

The Complete Preset Library includes:
   - 96 presets & 1 IR pack from the Electric Guitar Preset Library ($30)
   - 22 presets & 4 IR packs from the Acoustic Instrument Library ($15)
   - 18 presets from the Bass Preset Library ($15)
   - 37 presets from the Violin Preset Library ($15)
   - 18 presets from the Special Effects Preset Library ($15)
 
My process:
All of my presets are finely tuned for live use through a single FRFR speaker or a large soundsystem. I usually start by creating the presets at home on my studio monitors and occasionally referencing on a PA tower system that I own. Once I have the presets roughed in, I crank the volume on the PA and check that levels across the various gain stages are set appropriately. Then, usually over the course of a few weeks I will test the new presets at shows and make minor adjustments depending on how they seem to fit in with a full band. It’s nice to be able to step out in front of the stage with a wireless kit to see how things sound at gig volume. Finally, I take the presets back to HX Edit to level match them with the rest of the library.
 
As a result, I’d like to think that these presets are some of the best out there. I’ve done my fair share of purchasing presets from well known makers but haven’t found much consistency when I went out to actually use them live. With that said, you probably do not own the same guitar as I do and might not be playing through the same sound system. Consider these presets as an excellent template. Make minor adjustments as needed and build out your own library to suit your playing style, instruments, and whatever platform you’re amplifying the Helix through. I always like to say that purchasing presets is a great way to get 90% of the way there, but the remaining 10% comes from learning the unit and making adjustments to best suite the way that you use the Helix.
 
Remember, this folder is a work in progress. I am always adding new sounds and improving old ones. With the purchase of this preset library, you will recieve a Google Drive link (linked at the top of the first page of the .pdf that is included with your purchase). If at any time you would like an update, you can go there to download the latest files. Your purchase is good for all future updates.
 
Each of these presets are limited to a maximum of 8 blocks, and as such will work on all of the following products:
HX Stomp
HX Stomp XL
Helix LT
Helix Floor
Helix Rack
Helix Native
     *Helix Native users please note that all of my presets exist in stompswitch mode. Helix Native is set up to prefer snapshots, however you can use these presets in stompswitch mode just fine. Check out the Helix Native manual pages 14 & 15 for information on loading these presets in HC (hardware compatibility) mode. When prompted, make sure you select HX Stomp XL as the original device since that is what I create these presets on.
