What is a Preset?
VL3X and many other TC-Helicon devices are
based on the concept of “Presets”. Essentially, a
Preset is a record of all the settings for a group
of effects that you can recall quickly and easily.
The Preset concept is extremely flexible. A Pre-
set can be general purpose – like a simple Re-
verb or Harmony sound. But a Preset can also
represent a specific song or portion of a song via
multiple effects and settings.
A good modern analogy for a Preset is a user ac-
count on a computer. Even though each user has
access to the same hardware (CPU, RAM etc.)
each user can change their desktop wallpaper,
icons on the desktop, program behaviors and
much more. When each user logs in, the com-
puter recalls all of their custom settings.
Depending on how you like you to work with ef-
fects, you may find that you like to use a few gen-
eral purpose Presets and turn effects on and off
manually during your performance. Or you might
be the kind of guy or girl who likes to spend a
bit more time in advance of the performance to
create Presets for all sorts of things. Or you may
be somewhere in between. Any amount of edit-
ing or Preset manipulation is fine! You can get as
“programmer” or “seat of the pants” as you like.
