## What is Helrig?

Helrig is a preset editor for guitar multi-effects processors, made for a touch screen.

On an iPad with an M-series chip, plug your pedal in with a USB cable and Helrig opens the preset it's playing. Turn a knob on the glass and you hear it from the pedal. The iPad sits on the music stand, and you tweak between songs without a laptop.

On iPhone and other iPads, connect through a Helrig Box over Wi-Fi and edit the pedal the same way. Without a pedal, Helrig is the full preset editor on every device: open, edit, convert and export presets.

EDIT
• The whole signal chain, snapshots, footswitches, controllers and Command Center on one screen
• Undo and redo, with a named history of your changes
• Find blocks by the gear they're based on: type the pedal or amp, whatever the model is called
• See an estimate of the DSP each path uses as you edit
• Convert a preset from one pedal to another, with every change listed

ON YOUR PEDAL (over USB or a Helrig Box)
• Edit live: changes are heard on the pedal as you make them
• Save presets to any slot. Helrig keeps a copy of what was there and offers to put it back
• Manage the IRs on your pedal

HELRIG BOX
A small Wi-Fi box you build yourself from an off-the-shelf ESP32-P4 board and free firmware (box.helrig.com). It plugs into the pedal, and your iPhone or iPad talks to it over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. It also lets a setlist app switch presets on the pedal over Bluetooth MIDI.

KEEP AND SHARE
• Keep presets from all your pedals in one cloud library: 10 editable presets with a free account, unlimited with Helrig Pro
• Browse and open presets other players published

WHAT'S FREE
Opening, editing, converting and exporting presets is free, with no account. Connecting to your pedal, over USB or a Helrig Box, needs Helrig Connect (a one-time purchase) or Helrig Pro (yearly, includes Connect and the unlimited cloud library). Sign in and connect your pedal to try it for 7 days first.

WORKS WITH
Line 6 Helix Floor, Helix LT, Helix Rack, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL and HX Effects. Helix Stadium isn't supported.
USB: an iPad with an M1 chip or later, iPadOS 16 or newer, and a USB-C to USB-B cable that carries data.
Wi-Fi: a Helrig Box, with the iPhone or iPad on the same 2.4 GHz network.
Back up your pedal before writing presets to it.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.5.18 — 2026-11-12

What's new since 1.5.15:

• Stage mode: your footswitches, snapshots and presets big on the screen while you play, plus pages of your own that can send MIDI.
• One preset sidebar for your pedal, your library and the Community Library. It shows beside the editor on a wide screen with a trackpad or mouse; ⌘B shows or hides it.
• Previous and next preset arrows beside the preset's title.
• For the community NAM firmware: edit NAM presets for the Helix Floor and LT, and convert them to and from the HX family. Not made or supported by Line 6.
• Converting between Helix models keeps Path 2.
• Each block is listed once when you add a block.
• A knob with Snapshot Control off stays where it is when you change snapshots, as on the pedal.

### 1.5.15 — 2026-11-11

• Helrig Box: edit your pedal over Wi-Fi from your iPhone or iPad. Pair once in Helrig, then press BOOT on the box. It's a build-it-yourself box, see box.helrig.com.
• Bluetooth MIDI: with a Helrig Box, a setlist app can switch presets on your pedal.
• Fit puts your whole signal chain on screen: block names when they fit, colour chips when they don't. Text never shrinks, which helps in split view. On a phone you can still split a path from the fitted chain.
• Tap a block's LED to bypass or enable it.
• Changing a split or merge now reaches the pedal straight away, not only when you save. Selecting a path's input, output, split or merge selects it on the pedal too.
• Settings below zero, such as Dual Pitch's Interval, now change the pedal as you turn them.
• Resync reads the preset back from the pedal and tells you if the pedal has something different from what Helrig sent.
• Smaller pedals with one block per position: moves and undo now work like on the pedal.
• Fixed blocks shifting one slot when reading a preset from the pedal.
• Fixed − and + continuing to step after you let go.
• Fixed tapping Connect for Bluetooth MIDI closing the app on iOS and iPadOS 27.
• New display setting: Show touches, for screen recordings.
