In June 2015 Line 6 announced their new Multi-effects processor Helix. Helix will be available as a floor pedal and rack version, both with the same audio and control capabilities. For the Helix rack version an optional foot controller will be available.

Line 6 claims Helix to be a giant leap forward in guitar processing.

I’m using Line 6 gear since the first POD (Bean) came out and had almost every version of them (XT, XT Live, X3). At the time I’m using the HD500. Even if the Helix isn’t considered to be a replacement of the HD500 or HD500x, I’m very interested in how it sounds and feels and it’s capabilities. I will probably write a few more articles about it. So please stay tuned and check back on a regular basis.
