Patch Collector Chrome Extension

A browser extension that enhances your experience on the Line6 CustomTone website by providing advanced features for downloading and organizing guitar patches.

Features

• Download patches from multiple pages at once
• Search and filter patches before downloading
• Track download progress

Supported Devices

This extension works with Line6 guitar processors including Helix and Pod Go series devices.

Installation

Official Installation (Recommended)

The easiest and most secure way to install Patch Collector is directly through the official Chrome Web Store. This ensures you always receive the latest features and automatic background updates.

👉 Install Patch Collector from the Chrome Web Store

Manual Installation (Alternative/Legacy)

This method is primarily for developers or users who need to install a specific legacy version from this archived repository.

1. Download the Source Code:

   • Download the Source Code from this GitHub repo.
   • Important: Unzip the downloaded file into a dedicated folder on your computer. Remember where you save this folder.

2. Install in Chrome:

   • Open Google Chrome.
   • Type chrome://extensions/ into the address bar and press Enter.
   • Enable "Developer mode" using the toggle switch in the top-right corner of the page.
   • Click the "Load unpacked" button that appears.
   • Navigate to and select the folder where you unzipped the downloaded source code in Step 1.
   • The Patch Collector extension icon should now appear in your browser toolbar and in the list on the chrome://extensions/ page.

3. Verify Installation:

   • Click the Patch Collector icon in your Chrome toolbar to ensure the popup window opens correctly.
   • Visit the Line6 CustomTone website and log in to check if the extension's features appear on the page.

Note: When installing manually, Chrome might display a warning like "Disable developer mode extensions" upon restarting. This is expected. However, be aware that manually installed extensions do not update automatically.
