This is my signature patch, “the tone I hear in my head.” It’s open, airy and ambient, with a supportive wash underneath that works really well for modern worship. It’s built using the GFHG AC+Chimera Fusion amp Clone and GFHG Daily Driver No Cut drive Clone, with sounds ranging from clean and lightly driven tones all the way through a big overdrive and huge lead sound. It also includes an ambient wobble sound, dual delay, and a dedicated swell snapshot. Three options for modulation: Destroyer, Tremolo, Vibrato. Optional POG that can be activated at any time.

Meaty yet bright in all the right ways, the Bethel patch is built around the GFHG UKAC30TB and Prosonic Clones. Features three flavors of drive/boost: Daily Driver, SoloDallas CD65 (Clone) and GE-7. It also includes a chewy vibrato, tremolo, modded delay, and optional compression via my TonePress favorite block. Super fun! Three options for modulation: Destroyer, Tremolo, Vibrato. Optional POG that can be activated at any time.

This alternate Bethel version swaps in a whammy effect, à la “Glory to Glory,” which is also useful in other contexts.

Bright, defined and fun, the Hillsong patch is built around the GFHG Match C30 Clone. Features four drives/boosts tuned like a few of my favorites for Hillsong: Apollo Approved Buckartie-Boo (Clone), Scarlett, Analogman KOT, Jackson Audio Prism. It also includes dual/galloping delay and a POG for those big octave runs. Optional compression and a dedicated swell button are also present.

Aggressive and in-your-face, the Elevation patch is built around the GFHG Match C30EF86 Clone. Three overdrives tuned to pedals like the Analogman KOT Red, Analogman KOT Yellow, Jackson Audio Prism, and Fuzzzzz. It includes a chorus for songs like “There Is A Cloud” and “Hallelujah Here Below,” along with 8th or dotted-eighth delay and a dedicated swell button.

For when you’re not playing songs from the teams above, this patch covers everything else. It’s thicker than Bethel but not as washed out. You get three drives tuned to my favorite light gain, medium gain and boost pedals: Lightspeed, Daily Driver and Jackson Audio Prism. It also includes a choice between 8th or dotted-eighth delay, chorus, tremolo, two stages of reverb, POG, optional compression via my Cali76 favorite block and a dedicated swell button.

After importing the presets themselves…

Step 1: Import the Clones First

In Helix Stadium Edit, go to your Library, click Clones, then click Import.

From there, find the Clones included with the pack and import them into your library.

Once they’re in your library, load the preset and replace the corresponding Clone/Proxy blocks with the proper GFHG Clones included with the pack.

The presets themselves are already programmed and labeled, so you’re not building anything from scratch. You’re simply assigning the proper Clones to the preset.

Step 2: Import Any Included Favorites

You may also see some Favorite files included with your download. These files end in .hsf and are included when I’ve made adjustments to the stock settings of a Clone for that preset.

The file name might look something like GFHG Daily Driver BETHEL.hsf. That example would mean this is my Favorite setting for the Daily Driver Clone within the Bethel preset.

A Favorite is a saved setting for a specific Clone or block. After the Clone has been imported, you can import the Favorite through the Favorites section in Helix Stadium Edit.

If there is no Favorite file for a Clone used in the preset, simply import the Clone as-is. No additional adjustment is needed.

Easy as that!

GFHG [Amp Name] [Character] [Tone Profile] [Gain Level]

Example: GFHG UKAC30TB A SPRKL 1

Character: A, B, C, etc.

The Character letter represents a different voicing or capture approach for that particular amp.

For example, one character may be warmer and fuller, while another may have less low-mid content and more upper-end presence. Some amps may also include additional characters that blend or explore different aspects of the amp.

The exact differences between Characters vary from amp to amp, so refer to the individual product description or included documentation for more details.

Tone Profile

• Balanced / BAL = Even response across the frequency spectrum.
• Sparkle / SPRKL = Added top-end presence and a little extra shine without getting harsh.
• Mid Push / MID = Additional emphasis in the low mids and mids.

Not every amp will necessarily include every Tone Profile.

Gain Level: 1, 2, 3, etc.

The number represents the amount of gain/breakup captured from the amp.

• Lower number = cleaner / more headroom.
• Higher number = more breakup and saturation from the start.

The available gain levels may vary depending on the amp.

These Clones respond really well to adjustments inside your unit. You can shape them using the parameters inside the Helix Stadium.

• Prefer a little more presence and high end? Start by reducing the bass slightly. If it still needs clarity, add a bit of treble.
• Prefer a little more warmth? Start by lowering the treble.

Here’s the approach I recommend:

Want more drive/saturation?

Step 1: Increase the Pre Gain on the Clone itself, but don’t go crazy. If there’s not enough gain available in the current Clone, move to Step 2.

Step 2: Move up to the next Gain Level Clone and, if it’s a bit too much, reduce the Pre Gain to match your desired feel.

Tip: This is a really great way to increase the headroom of a Clone while still keeping the amount of gain where you want it. A lot of players end up preferring this approach.

Want less drive/saturation?

The opposite applies as well. If you need to clean up a Clone and reduce the amount of overdrive, lower the Pre Gain and compensate for the volume loss by increasing the Clone’s Post Gain control.

For example, if you want something in between Gain Level 1 and 2, start with a Level 2 Clone and reduce the Pre Gain to taste.

To balance volume between Clones, use the Post Gain control inside the Clone block, or use the Merge Mixer block and adjust the A Level, left amp, and B Level, right amp.

Just don’t forget you’ve done this, because if you start swapping amp blocks, it might drive you nuts trying to level things if you forget. 🤪

In the regular Bethel patch, the Jack-of-all-trades patch, the Elevation patch, and the GFHG Sig patch, the expression pedal is assigned to an extra ‘verb block to give you a little more control over the amount of reverb in those on-the-fly moments.

It is assigned to Expression Pedal 1, and it is set up “backwards” on purpose because I felt that worked best. Heel down is the maximum amount of reverb I set it to, and toe down is the minimum.

This makes transitions a lot smoother than putting the toe down and suddenly getting a huge wash of reverb when you’re trying to flip from expression to volume. I’m excited for you to try it out and see if you agree!
