The open-source editor for Line 6 Helix and HX pedals. A tiny download that opens fast, connects fast, and runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

stompchain editing a preset on an HX Stomp: a drive, amp and cab on the main line with a delay and reverb on a parallel branch
🎛️

Your whole rig at a glance

Blocks, branches, and knobs laid out like the pedalboard they are. Drag a pedal below the line to run it in parallel, and move the fork wherever you want it.

🐧

Every OS, including Linux

HX Edit covers macOS and Windows. stompchain covers those and the Linux machine already sitting next to your pedalboard.

Small and quick

A few megabytes, opens in a blink, connects in a moment. No launcher, no installer ceremony, no waiting.

⌨️

Script everything

A full command-line tool for backups, preset changes, and parameter tweaks. Automate your rig like the computer it secretly is.

🛡️

Safe with your presets

Presets travel as the device’s own data, byte for byte, and every operation was verified against real hardware. What you save is exactly what was there.

Next up: a home for tones

A community tone library is coming to stompchain: browse tones other players share, load one onto your pedal in a click, and publish your own straight from the editor. Star the GitHub repository to follow along.
