## Preset Info

All factory presets include tips on how to use them best. Type in info for your own presets, like guitar/pickup/playback system used, creative controller assignments, tips/tricks, self-affirming platitudes, taco recipes, etc. This Preset Info is saved with the preset and is also referenced when using the Search Presets function.  
**Tip:** All factory presets include helpful, descriptive notes in their Preset Info screens. Please review the factory presets' Info to get some ideas for how to enter effective details for your own custom presets.

1. **In the header, tap the Preset Info icon** ![Preset Info](https://manuals.line6.com/__attachments/a_34fc0f0e45e70d34394c3bcd0157cb9adb5c9d78fbb8b491b6dde81bdc95beab/Button_PresetInfo.png?cb=d470190ec5cc55e5942989767e04c1d3) **.** Alternatively, **press FS1 (Info) from** [++**MORE Footswitch mode**++](https://manuals.line6.com/en/helix-stadium/live/top-panel-and-footswitches.md).

## Preset Clips

Every factory preset includes a unique dry guitar or bass riff so you can hear it in context; also known as the "Ohhh, I've been chugging with 7-string EMGs through a country preset designed for a single coil Tele. *That's* why I thought this preset sucked" feature. Clips can also help you dial in presets without constantly switching between playing and tweaking.  
**Important!**

Be sure to reduce the volume of Stadium's output(s) before entering the Preset Clip view, and gradually increase the volume as needed.

Audible playback of Preset Clips requires that at least one of the current preset's Input blocks is set to **Instrument 1** or **Instrument 1+2** (on Stadium XL) or to **Instrument**(on Helix Stadium). All factory presets already include one or more such Input block by default.

1. **Load a factory preset and tap the Clip icon** ![The Clip View Button](https://manuals.line6.com/__attachments/a_da6bb8a68890ad7060ba914a413cba168b9d421f2da59ddbe37895f590c6ac8d/ClipViewButton.png?cb=ace5a9c1437a2590c72f56baeb6fc20e) **in the header.** Alternatively, **press FS7 (Clip) in** [**More Footswitch Mode**](https://manuals.line6.com/en/helix-stadium/live/top-panel-and-footswitches.md)**.** The Preset Clip screen appears (see below) and plays a short audio clip.

2. **Tap the transport icons to control playback.**

**Tip:** By default, clip playback stops automatically if you exit the Preset Clip view. However, **if you set Knob 4 (Auto Stop) to Off and Knob 5 (Repeat) to On**, the clip continues to play when exiting Preset Clip view. This lets you edit your preset and hear the changes in real time.
