The Line 6 Helix LT is the streamlined version of its bigger brother, the Helix Floor. Helix LT leverages dual-SHARC^® processing and HX^® Modeling to deliver the authentic sound and feel of analog amps and effects, and its player-friendly interface sets the standard for ease of use.

Features:

• Large color LCD
• Capacitive-touch footswitches for easy editing
• Onboard expression pedal
• Analog and digital I/O
• USB audio interface

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.

FOUR STEREO SIGNAL PATHS

Helix processors feature four stereo signal paths, enabling the creation of sophisticated presets with numerous effect and other blocks. You can configure signal paths independently, which allows you to process up to four instruments simultaneously. Presets that use only two paths 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. You can also connect external expression pedals and footswitches 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.

VARIAX CONTROL

Helix processors support 2-way Variax® guitar integration when you connect them using the Variax Digital Interface (VDI).
