What about customtone.com?

Lots of love for customtone.com! I have spent many hours poring through the patches on that site, for many years over several generations of Line 6© devices. As cool as customtone.com is, I wanted a deeper level of functionality so I created this site in the hopes that other will also find it useful.

OK, what is better about this site?

Some cool features you may appreciate:

  • When you upload a patch, the site discovers the "blocks" that make up the patch, and this is done for you automatically. To upload a patch, you only supply a few details. This enables you to quickly see the effects that make up a patch and you can "deep search" for patches with specific effects.
  • Patches are categorized by Performance Type, such as direct, 4 cable method, front of amp, etc.
  • Your patch information can contain a Youtube and/or Soundcloud link, and they'll be embedded directly into the "view a patch" page.
  • You have the ability to upvote a patch, and patches can be sorted by upvotes or by number of downloads.
  • You can view details on each effect/amp/cabinet that's available in Helix, and get a description of the details, plus patches that contain that particular effect.
  • Browse all Helix models and effects by category.
  • Both patches and individual effects have comments enabled.
  • Your profile page allows you to upload a picture and details about yourself.

But I use HX Effects (or some other unsupported device) - Why do you hate me?

Hey we added HX Effects support in July of 2022!

Is there a fee to use Fluid Solo?
