Selecting Presets and Setlists
1. Turn PRESET to select presets within the current setlist.
Helix stores eight setlists, each containing 32 banks of four presets (A, B, C, and
D). As we promised, no math - that’s a grand total of 1,024 preset locations. If
that's not enough, your cover band should be asking for more money.
