(firmware 2.82 and above)
This pack has 61 presets for a 4CM setup (*), sorted in three different categories :
1 – Pink Floyd : 20 presets
2 – Drives : 21 presets
3 – MISC : 20 presets
1 – The Pink Floyd presets covers 20 songs, and uses snaphots. They’re optimized for fat sounding settings on the guitar amp (lot of low mids/mids). I use them with a Friedman Buxom Betty Synergy module.
2 – The presets from the Drives folder uses each a different drive model and needs to be used with a clean amp. They’re also optimized for fat sounding amp settings.
3 – I made the presets from the MISC folder for various purposes – covering specific songs, or just a basic setting to be used with a clean/distorted amp etc… They use either the clean channel or the drive channel of a tube amp. Many presets in this folder are very similar, and basic. Even if I made them for myself, with no selling purpose, I chose to include them all.
Initially, I had no intention of selling HX Effects presets, as I made them for myself only, but I got many requests for them, and specially for the Pink Floyd songs… Usually, my presets are for FRFR systems and uses my own IRs, which are a big part of my tone, but those of course are different. This is what explain the low price of this pack, the third folder specially is just a backup of my unit.
I didn’t record a proper demo for these presets, but here’s the video of a gig where I used some of them (apologies for the low quality, it was recorded like that)
(*) The 4 Cables Method (4CM) :
Cable N°1 : Guitar to HX Effects Guitar In
Cable N°2 : HX Effects Send Loop 1 to Amp Main Input
Cable N°3 : Amp FX Send Loop to HX Effects Return Loop 1
Cable N°4 : HX Effects 1/4″ Left (mono) Out to Amp FX Return Loop
This way, the Compressor/Drive effects are before the preamp, the Delay/Reverb/Modulations are after.

Please, how do you recommend to use HX effects and Marshall 2245 JTM 45 / PLEXI /
The 4 Cables Method (4CM) ????
What should I change in the HX effects settings to make it work with Marshall PLEXI?
Well thank you
Daniel

hello, yes those presets are for 4CM, and 4CM only. If the amp doesn’t have an effects loop, they must be used with a clean tone only, but that’s not their purpose

I purchased the Freman pack from Line 6 Marketplace, but I am not using an amp, only a DAW, can I loop with a pre-amp pedal? Is that all I need to be able to use your 4CM patches?
Fremen
Hello, yes you can use a preamp instead of a real amp with this pack.
Cheers

Hello, I purchased the HX Effects pak from the Line6 web site a while ago, and I have a question.
The Comfortably Numb preset is great for the rhythm part, but can it be tweaked to do the epic lead as well? or is there another patch that works better?
Thanks in advance
Fremen
Hello ! For the lead part, I would just add more delay mix and feedback.
DigitechTV
Regarding the post above. I didn’t notice that the Comfortably Numb preset had 4 snapshots, and snapshot 3, is for the 2nd solo. It sounds superb. Great job!
Fremen
Good ! 🙂

I purchased your Presets for HX Effects, excellent combination of sounds. Any more products coming for the HX Effects? Thanks
Fremen
Hello, thanks for your comments ! Not at the moment but next year, who knows ?

Hi, I downloaded your presets pack, but I looks like it works only with the 4CM, while I use my HX Effects directly to console through a PALMER PDI O3 JB DI.
Any suggestions…?
Fremen
Hi Giacomo, yes, it’s clearly stated in the product page, it’s a 4CM only pack. You need to use it with a real amp or preamp that would provide the distortion and clean tones
Giacomo Valenza
Ok…wasted money, my mistake

Ok…wasted money, my mistake. I should have bought the helix pack, but I think the difference in the number of available slot would make it useless as well
Fremen
The pack will work if you bypass or remove the Send/Return block
