The original version of this package had 175 presets (both individual files and into two setlists for quicker loading) + 25 user IRs. Now there are more than 200 presets (not counting the “Rhythm Guitar player” version of the Pink Floyd ones). Latest firmware version included : 3.15 (added : September 2022), + a few bonus presets for firmware 3.60, using the new cabs (all my presets uses my custom IRs, which I prefer).
My presets are first and foremost a very big collection of amp/cab tones, effects are a bonus. There’s also a few, like the ambient ones, U2 or Pink Floyd presets etc. in which the effects settings are equally important. They are intended to cover various genres, from classic rock to metal through pop and fusion. Some of them uses snapshots, again, check the .xls file for details.
Also included is a collection of metal presets meant to be used for recording, so they’re brighter than what I normally use. I used a DI track from one metal song I recorded to tweak them. However they probably have a little more bass than needed but I like that for playing with them. In a mix, I’ll cut the lows some more.
One of the highlights of this pack are the Pink Floyd presets. I play in a Pink Floyd cover band so I took special care with these sounds ! The dedicated Pink Floyd pack ( https://fremenpresets.com/downloads/helix-the-pink-floyd-presets-pack/ ) has more songs, and 3 different versions (for HSS guitars, SSS guitars, and Line 6 Variax), but the presets included here are also updated to firmware 3.15, with revised amp and effects settings.
Here’s two videos with firmware 3.15 versions of the presets :
User cabs (IRs)
My presets have been tweaked with my user IRs, there’s no way they would sound like intended if you don’t load them (see the screenshot, “Fremen user IRs”). All my IRs are custom creations made with various free sources, or no source at all, and various techniques like tone matching. As with any presets using IRs or a cab block, they are made for FRFR systems/studio monitors/direct to FOH.
