Line 6 Helix LT Streamlined HX Guitar Processor

AUTHENTIC TONE: The dual-SHARC audio engine in Helix products accurately recreates the sonic characteristics and dynamic playing response of classic and modern amplifiers and effects.

HX CABS/IMPULSE RESPONSES: Helix cabinet models offer a choice of 12 microphone types that may be positioned at various distances from the speaker cone and cabinet for additional flexibility. Third-party impulse responses may also be loaded.

COMPONENT MODELING: Each stage of an amp’s circuitry is measured and the results matched to the original during the modeling process, ensuring realistic sound and an authentic playing experience.

BEHAVIORAL MODELING: HX Modeling technology captures the unique behavior of analog effects devices by measuring their individual components, resulting in authentic recreations of even notoriously difficult-to-model effects such as germanium fuzz and “bucket-brigade” analog delay pedals.

INTERACTION: Helix family products feature an intuitive interface that replaces unwieldy menu diving with straightforward interaction.

CAPACITIVE-TOUCH FOOTSWITCHES: Simply touch a footswitch to instantly jump to any block and quickly adjust a parameter or assign controllers. Color-coded LED rings convey footswitch assignments and status at-a-glance.

SNAPSHOTS: Snapshots enable you to create up to eight variations within a single preset and seamlessly transition between them, without the audio dropouts that occur when switching between presets.

HX EDIT: The free HX Edit software features the same intuitive user interface as Helix processors. Create complex signal chains with ease, adjust settings and parameters using dedicated sliders, customize footswitch labels, and much more.

POWERCAB: The Powercab family comprises the Powercab 112, Powercab 112 Plus, and Powercab 212 Plus active guitar speaker systems—all of which provide an authentic “amp-in-the-room” playing experience when paired with Helix amp and effects processors. Powercab Plus integration with Helix via L6 LINK is especially powerful, transmitting multiple audio signals and command data over a single cable.

FOUR STEREO SIGNAL PATHS: Helix processors feature four stereo signal paths, enabling the creation of sophisticated presets with numerous effect and other blocks. The signal paths may also be configured independently, making it possible to process up to four instruments simultaneously, and presets using only two paths can support true Preset Spillover.

COMMAND CENTER: Helix processors can serve as the command center for any rig. They can send up to six MIDI commands at preset or snapshot recall, and dedicated relays enable external amp switching. External expression pedals and footswitches may also be connected for additional control.

EXPRESSION PEDAL: The built-in expression pedal controls volume, wah, or any parameter or combination of parameters. Hands-free Pedal Edit mode lets you edit any block parameter using your feet.

HELIX NATIVE: The Helix Native plugin brings the power of Helix to any digital audio workstation. Preset compatibility across the Helix family allows presets created in the studio using Helix Native to be transferred to Helix hardware processors for live performance—and vice versa. Registered Helix and HX product owners receive a substantial discount on Helix Native.

VARIAX CONTROL: Helix processors support 2-way Variax® guitar integration when the two are connected using the Variax Digital Interface (VDI). Toggle between two instrument models with a footswitch, control Helix amp and effects parameters using the controls on your Variax guitar, change string tunings when switching presets or snapshots, and much more.
