Development of Helix with Eric Klein
Description
The Line 6 Helix limited-edition multi-effects guitar pedal offers the powerful performance of the original Helix in a striking Lightning Blue or Gold enclosure. With its renowned dual-DSP HX modeling technology, Helix delivers authentic amp, cabinet, and effects sounds in one sleek, intuitive unit designed for both studio and stage.
Realistic Amp and Effects Models Powered by HX Technology
The Helix limited-edition features Line 6’s award-winning HX modeling, recreating the sound and feel of vintage and modern amps, cabinets, microphones, and effects with exceptional accuracy. Each stage of an amp’s circuitry is meticulously modeled, allowing the Helix to react to your playing just like the original hardware. It even recreates rare effects like the Shin-ei Uni-Vibe pedal using the unique Throbber technology.
Intuitive Control With Capacitive-Touch Footswitches
Helix’s capacitive-touch footswitches and customizable scribble strips make navigation and adjustments fast and efficient. Simply touch a footswitch to access any block or parameter, or hold to assign controls. With a large 800x480-pixel LCD, the Helix eliminates complex menus, giving you a clear view of your settings at all times, perfect for on-the-fly tweaks during live performances.
Extensive I/O for Ultimate Rig Integration
With four mono or two stereo effects sends/receives, three expression pedal inputs, MIDI integration and more, the Helix limited-edition offers unparalleled flexibility. You can easily integrate both digital and analog gear into your setup, create complex signal routing schemes, or use it as the central hub of your live or studio rig. Its comprehensive I/O makes the Helix ideal for any type of performance or recording setup.
Seamless Compatibility and Preset Sharing
The Helix limited-edition is fully compatible with the entire Helix family, including Helix Rack, Helix LT and the Helix Native plug-in. Easily share presets across all Helix devices, ensuring that your custom tones are available whether you're performing live or recording in the studio. Regular firmware updates from Line 6 continue to expand the Helix's capabilities, adding new models, features, and improvements.
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.
Based on the Bogner Ecstasy and EVH 5150III (6L6), these new models round out the portfolio of amps, and the Teardrop Bass Q represents the first new Wah since v1.0.
The update gives you the following:
