Line 6 Helix Multi-Effects Guitar Pedal - Secondhand

Full Description

Authentic experience

The Helix Floor is the ultimate solution for acquiring a real, rich tone. This next generation processor uses a new dual-DSP engine to provide you with an enormous amount of power, giving you the ability to accurately recreate your favourite sounds as well as discover the exciting dynamic feel of real tube amplifiers. Line 6 have accurately measured and matched each stage of an amplifiers circuit and implemented these measurements into the Helix’s engine. Every single model reacts exactly as it would if you were playing through the real amplifier. With extensive attention to detail that replicates power supply ripple, individual tube sag, and even control over B+ voltages. The Helix enables you to truly experience the unique characteristics of your dream amplifier. With the ability to load custom impulse responses, the Helix Floor is the perfect way to create your own personal sound, with limitless creative capabilities.

The centre of your rig

The Helix can be easily integrated with traditional effects pedals and other hardware. This enables you to unlock the best combination of hardware and software and utilise the unique and powerful sound of a hybrid environment. All this is achievable thanks to the Helix Floor being equipped with some of the most flexible audio routing ever implemented on a guitar processor, along with its dynamically processed DSP. Using the four effects loops, you’ll be able to connect up to four different pedal chains, or even split them up and use them as freely-assignable inputs and outputs.

Intuitive operation

The Line 6 Helix Floor Guitar Processor does away with the steep learning curves often associated with achieving the perfect tone with enormously powerful gear. Thanks to the durable touch-sensitive footswitches, the Helix Floor allows you to select an effect block to edit simply by touching it. Combined with a large 6.2” 800 x 400-pixel LCD display, endless menu-diving is a thing of the past. Achieving great tone at high speeds is quick and easy, with coloured LED rings and customisable scribble-strips letting you know what each footswitch is doing at a glance. Creating the perfect tone has never been easier with this Line 6 Helix, and you won’t even have to stop playing to tweak the control knob.

Thanks to the built-in Pedal Edit mode, you can use your feet not only for activating and bypassing effects, but for making accurate adjustments by selecting your desired pedal block and then tweaking though the expression pedal. Explore your creativity by designing complex routing scenarios for each patch thanks to the Helix Floor’s four stereo paths per preset. You can create variations on wet and dry routing schemes incredibly quickly and with ease, or use the onboard effects models in conjunction with the four freely assignable effects loops. The Line 6 Helix is truly a multi-effects unit like no other, and will allow you to discover and re-discover you own unique voice time and time again.
