Open Box Line 6 Helix Multi-Effects Guitar Pedal Level 2 197881309107

The Line 6 Helix multi-effects guitar pedal is a powerhouse floorboard processor built for guitarists who demand world-class tone, versatile routing and intuitive control in one streamlined unit. Engineered with the powerful HX modeling engine, Helix captures the sonic nuance and dynamic response of vintage amps, cabs, mics and effects with stunning realism. Its dual DSP architecture enables massive processing capabilities, while the large color screen and touch-sensitive switches simplify deep editing. Whether you're building complex live rigs, re-amping in the studio or controlling external gear, Helix offers the flexibility and tone quality modern players demand. With a robust I/O layout, powerful MIDI control and real-time footswitch mapping, Helix is more than a pedalboard—it's the command center of your entire setup.

Dual DSP Power and Ultra-Realistic HX Modeling

At the heart of the Helix multi-effects pedal is Line 6's HX modeling engine, supported by dual DSP processors for unmatched depth and realism. It delivers the feel and responsiveness of real tube amps by meticulously modeling every stage of the signal path—from input jack to speaker cone. The result is a dynamic response that mirrors the organic bloom, breakup and compression of the analog gear it emulates. The HX modeling engine gives players access to 45 amp models, 30 speaker cabs, 16 microphone options and over 70 classic and modern effects, all ready to drop into four discrete stereo signal paths. It's a tone creator's dream, with enough horsepower to craft and layer complex signal chains without compromise.

Touch-Responsive Interface for Effortless Adjustments

Despite its massive processing power, Helix remains remarkably intuitive. The large, full-color screen gives you a clear view of your signal chain, and touch-sensitive footswitches let you edit blocks on the fly by simply tapping and turning the nearby knob. Customizable scribble strips and LED rings offer quick visual feedback. With four stereo signal paths, four effects loops and a comprehensive I/O layout, Helix supports advanced routing configurations—from blending amp models to processing two instruments independently. Whether you're feeding multiple amps, running a wet/dry rig or integrating your favorite stompboxes, Helix has the flexibility to handle it all.

Total Control of External Gear and MIDI Devices

Helix isn't just a multi-effects processor—it's a central hub for your entire rig. Four assignable effects loops let you patch in your analog pedals, while multiple expression pedal inputs and CV/expression outs give you real-time control over any parameter. It also offers amp control outputs for seamless channel switching on your tube amp. Full MIDI implementation means Helix can send program changes, control changes and more to your other devices, letting you trigger complex, synchronized changes with a single footswitch. Helix adapts to any setup, from a minimalist pedalboard to a full-scale MIDI-controlled rack system.

Free Helix 3.80 Firmware Update Adds New Amps, Cabs and FX

The Helix 3.80 firmware update, available free to all Helix users, introduces six of the most requested amp models and four meticulously captured speaker cabinets. New additions include models based on iconic tube combo amps and heads, along with matching 4x10 and 4x12 cab options. Bassists also benefit from a new Teardrop Bass Q wah effect modeled after a classic pedal. The update expands tonal possibilities without sacrificing performance, reinforcing Line 6's commitment to evolving Helix with meaningful tools that reflect the needs of real-world musicians. It's another reason why Helix remains a top-tier solution for modern guitarists.
