Placater TNX Ultimate – Helix & HX Stomp Presets
Part of the TNX Preset Series
The Placater TNX Ultimate is the latest addition to the TNX Preset Series—an exclusive collection of Helix and HX Stomp presets crafted to deliver the nuanced feel, depth, and response of boutique amp captures within the Line 6 HX ecosystem.
This preset is built around the Placater Dirty amp model, expertly dialed in to replicate the tone and dynamics of the Friedman Pink Taco Mk. II—the same amp featured in my popular Fried Taco Double Cream collection from another capturing platform.
Included are three tailored versions of the preset:
-
Helix Floor/LT/Rack – Full stereo preset with five snapshots and a complete array of FX.
-
HX Stomp XL – Four snapshots with Delay, Reverb, and Compression.
-
HX Stomp – Three snapshots with Delay, Reverb, and Compression.
The five included snapshots (Helix version) give you a seamless range of tones, from gritty breakup to singing lead:
-
Push 1 – Touch-sensitive edge-of-breakup
-
Push 2 – Classic crunch rhythm
-
Push 3 – Big open rock tone
-
OD 1 – Focused boutique gain
-
OD 2 – Singing saturation with FX that cut the mix
The magic of this preset is captured and stored within the included Custom IR, voiced specifically to bring out the amp’s character, cut, and punch—delivering the realism of a mic'ed cab in a great room.
Whether you're playing rock, hard blues, fusion, or modern gain styles, the Placater TNX Ultimate gives you the tone, touch, and vibe of a boutique amp-inspired rig—without relying on capture technology.
You can hear it in action—both in and out of the mix—in the demo video above.
