r/Hxstomp

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.

Hi, I’m trying to use the Hotone Pulze Control to send MIDI messages to my HX Stomp so I can change presets using its two footswitches (preset up and preset down). I used the Pulze app to assign commands to each switch (Footswitch A: 1/CC/72/0 and Footswitch B: 1/CC/72/127), (hx stomp midi channel is also 1). The problem is that, even after configuring it in the app, nothing happens on the HX when I press the footswitches. The Pulze didn't come with a cable, so I bought a TRS-to-MIDI Type A cable; however, it came with a 3.5mm TRS plug, so I have to use an adapter to connect it to the Pulze's 6.3mm port. Could the adapter be degrading the signal—preventing the HX from receiving anything—or is the Pulze Control simply incompatible with the HX Stomp for what I need? I'm sorry, I don't know much about that. Thanks for your replies.
