The Line 6 Helix LT guitar processor is a powerful and intuitive multi-effects pedalboard packed with over 300 amps, cabs, and effects modeled from world-class gear. This premium processor puts a vast tonal palette at your fingertips to inspire new creative directions for your playing. The Helix LT features the same high-quality modeling found in the flagship Helix Rack and Helix Floor processors, distilled into a streamlined and gig-ready stompbox form factor.

Massive Tonal Possibilities in a Stompbox-Sized Unit

Despite its compact size, the Helix LT offers over 300 amps, cabs and effects derived from real-world gear to shape your tone. It covers all the amplifiers, cabinets and effects you'd ever want, from vintage classics to modern powerhouses. Select amp and cab pairings, add your choice of studio-quality effects, tweak essential parameters, and save the results as presets you can call up instantly during a performance.

Intuitive Interface and Workflow

The Helix LT features a simple yet powerful interface with a large 6.2" LCD display and hands-on encoders for the most intuitive experience. Build presets from scratch or start from templates, tweak settings on the fly and instantly recall saved sounds, all without scrolling through complex menus. The Helix LT offers a fast, creative workflow for crafting and experimenting with new tones on stage or in the studio.

Premium I/O and Signal Routing

The Helix LT offers high-quality ins and outs for integration into any guitar rig. It features dual inputs, XLR and 1/4" outs, MIDI I/O, an FX loop, and USB. The Helix LT also provides powerful signal routing, allowing you to use amp and effects models in any order, and in series or parallel. Craft complex signal chains with ease and switch between them instantly with the footswitches or an external MIDI controller.

Road-Ready and Built to Last

The die-cast aluminum chassis of the Helix LT is built to handle the abuses of touring while keeping things lightweight. It features a rugged yet compact design, large backlit footswitches, and a high-contrast LCD display that's easy to read on dark stages. The Helix LT is a premium multi-effects unit ready to take your tone and creativity to new heights, gig after gig.

Helix 3.80 firmware update (as of Nov. 2024), is free to download by any owners of this product.
This free firmware update for Helix and HX hardware devices and the 3.80 software update for the Helix Native plug-in finally delivers six of the most requested amp channels and four unique cabs. Although the focus is on new amps and cabs, please note that the HX Effects processor and HX One pedal will still receive a new free effect.
