Preset Submission Guidelines

Thank you for contributing to StadiumHelix.com.
Our goal is to create the largest community-driven library of Helix presets available anywhere.

To keep the marketplace organized and ensure that presets work properly for users, all submissions must follow the guidelines below.

1. Upload Format

All presets must be uploaded as a single ZIP file.

The ZIP package should contain the preset files, documentation, and a preview image. This makes it easier for users to download and understand how the preset works.

2. Minimum Required Files

Every preset submission must include at least three files.

Documentation File

A PDF document describing the preset.

Example:

preset-name.pdf

This document should explain things such as:

Amp model used
Effects used
Snapshot descriptions
Recommended guitar type
Any special instructions for the preset

Preview Image

An image used for the preset listing.

Example:

preset-name_image.png

This image will appear on the preset page so users can visually identify the preset.

Recommended format:

PNG image
Square image preferred
Suggested size: 1000 x 1000 pixels

Helix Preset File

At least one Helix preset file must be included.

Supported preset formats include:

preset-name_stadium.hsp
preset-name_Helix.hlx
preset-name_HXStomp.hlx
preset-name_Native.hlx

Only one preset format is required, but creators are encouraged to include multiple versions if their preset supports multiple Helix devices.

3. Optional Preset Files

You may include additional Helix preset versions in your submission if available.

For example, a preset package might contain:

preset-name_stadium.hsp
preset-name_Helix.hlx
preset-name_HXStomp.hlx
preset-name_Native.hlx

Providing multiple formats allows more players to use your preset across different Helix devices.

4. File Naming Guidelines

Please use clear and consistent naming for your files.

Example package:

my-awesome-tone.pdf
my-awesome-tone_image.png
my-awesome-tone_Helix.hlx
my-awesome-tone_HXStomp.hlx

Using consistent names helps keep the preset library organized.

5. ZIP Package Structure

Your final submission should be compressed into a ZIP file.

Example:

my-awesome-tone.zip

Inside the ZIP file:

my-awesome-tone.pdf
my-awesome-tone_image.png
my-awesome-tone_Helix.hlx

my-awesome-tone.pdf
my-awesome-tone_image.png
my-awesome-tone_Helix.hlx
my-awesome-tone_HXStomp.hlx
my-awesome-tone_Native.hlx

6. Preset Quality Guidelines

Please only upload presets that:

Work properly on the intended device
Have clear documentation
Are organized and easy to understand
Do not contain copyrighted material

The goal is to provide high-quality presets that help other musicians achieve great tones quickly.
