I posted Helrig here before — a free, browser-based Helix/HX preset editor, no install, block search by name or what they're based on. Since then, I've added support for HX Effects specifically and put together a quick video walking through it: importing a preset, working through the block chain, and exporting it back out.

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on the first post — it's already made the tool better. Same as before, if something looks off or you hit a bug, I'd like to know.

Unofficial project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Line 6 or Yamaha.

With Line 6's attention clearly on Stadium right now, felt like existing Helix/HX Stomp owners aren't getting much new tooling love. So I built Helrig (https://helrig.com) and wanted to share it with the community — free, no catch.

It's a full preset editor that runs in your browser — no install, works on desktop, iPad, whatever you've got. Open a .hlx, see the whole signal chain, snapshots, controllers, and per-path DSP usage, reorder/swap blocks, edit parameters, export a clean file.

The part I'm actually proud of: you can search the entire block catalog by name or by what it's based on — type "RAT" and you'll find every distortion modeled on a Pro Co RAT, no matter what Line 6 called it internally. Fast, intuitive, works everywhere in the editor.

Honestly, I think the day-to-day editing experience is better than HX Edit at this point — curious if you agree once you've tried it.

Free, no account, nothing uploaded — it all runs locally in your browser. Try it and let me know what's missing or what breaks — genuinely want to know.

More coming down the line too.
