Real Tone
When it comes to authentic sound and feel, Helix represents a giant leap forward for guitar technology. The award-winning HX modeling engine provides powerful dual-DSP performance to accurately recreate and capture the dynamic feel of amps, cabs, mics and effects, not just their sonic fingerprint. Every component of the selected sound is captured, measured and matched to ensure you get the most realistic representation. The legendary Helix sound quality provides incredibly clean tones and its 123dB dynamic range offers an authentic and sensitive gaming experience. With Helix you can also load custom impulse responses so you can customize your rig setup to suit your playing style.
Great compatibility
Designed with a generous I/O complement with extensive routing capabilities, Helix LT integrates easily with your existing rig and offers incredible flexibility for a huge range of stage and studio applications. The pedal is designed with the same sounds, workflow and editor as other Helix products. Featuring L6 link connectivity, it offers seamless digital integration with other Line 6 products and StageSource speakers for an optimal live performance experience. A Variax guitar input provides instant model and tone recall, effect control and power for Variax guitars.
Incredibly easy to use design
Helix LT is designed to be so simple and easy for us to use while still providing extensive editing for the experienced player. The large LCD screen clearly displays the entire signal chain and provides instant access to amplifier and power parameters so you can see all the important information at a glance. The clear and intuitive sound card enables quick tone creation and easy interaction, eliminating the need for complex menu diving and allowing you to plug-and-play instantly. The foot pedals are designed with touch sensitivity and colorful LED ring and offer an incredibly fast and smart control setup while letting you mark each effect block for editing. Helix LT also has four stereo paths per preset so you can design complex routing scenarios for any path.
Pedal edit mode
Unlike other pedals, Helix lets you adjust your sound as you play. With pedal edit mode, you can edit any parameter by simply using your foot to select the block you want to adjust. Select a parameter and adjust the value using the expression pedal and let you find the perfect sound for your playing style or create new tonal possibilities.
Helix editing software
Helis offers a USB port and this multi effects processor can be connected to your MAC or PC and edited using Helix editing software. Create and edit your presets for completely personalized sounds, drag and drop amps, cabs and effects to build complex signal chains, or simply reorganize, rename or edit your tones. With endless possibilities, you can completely customize your pedal to your playing and musical style.
Keep your Helix up to date
Helix firmware updates offer new features for your multi effects pedals, adding new collections of models and improvements to give you an even greater playing experience.
