Free Line 6 Helix 3.50 Firmware Update Features Entirely New IR-Based Speaker Cabinet Engine
CALABASAS, CA. November 3, 2022 — Line 6 has released the free Helix® 3.50 firmware for its Helix Floor, Helix LT, Helix Rack, HX Effects™, HX Stomp™, and HX Stomp XL processors, as well as the Helix Native plugin.
“The 3.50 update introduces the biggest sonic improvement to Helix since it first shipped back in 2015,” enthused Eric Klein, Chief Product Design Architect, Line 6. “There’s an entirely new IR-based speaker cabinet engine that includes 20 guitar cabs and four bass cabs with a choice of 12 microphones, and you can change their angle, position, and distance in relation to the cabs. You can even drag the mics around in space when using the HX® Edit 3.50 application. There are also five new amp models, seven new effects, a Dual IR block, and other improvements. The 3.50 update continues our unwavering support for our community of Helix and HX users.”
New Speaker Cabs
The 20 new guitar cabinets include a 1×10, three 1×12, five 2×12, a 4×10, and ten 4×12 models. The four new bass cabinets include 1×15, 2×15, 4×10, and 8×10 models.
Despite their increased power the new cab models only utilize roughly one-third to one-fifth of the DSP as the cabs in version 3.15 and earlier due to the improved Helix Core.
