Line6 Helix Stadium Floor

Your Sound - Center Stage!

The Helix Stadium processors raise the bar for modelers. With powerful DSP and the all-new Agoura modeling method, they deliver exceptional tone, highly responsive dynamics to your playing, a sophisticated yet intuitive user interface, and unmatched control possibilities.

The refined Helix Stadium Floor amp and effects processor can be considered a kind of "performance workstation" thanks to its high-resolution 8" touchscreen, its ability to morph between ultra-authentic and idealized amp sounds with a single control, its 8-channel audio interface, versatile matrix-cue mixer, proxy amp/cab/effects cloning capability, and its Showcase automation and playback engine. Showcase lets you use it as the heart of an entire stage setup — including automatic recall of presets and snapshots, control of loopers and software, and using MIDI to control pedals, keyboards and synthesizers, videos and even lighting. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi control are also supported.

Helix Stadium Floor offers extensive connectivity, including various analog and digital audio inputs and outputs, MIDI (DIN and USB), multi-purpose control jacks and a proprietary Nexus connector for use with the optional Expand D10 unit and future peripherals. The Expand D10 provides Variax, L6 LINK, 8-channel optical I/O and other connections. Multiple external footswitches and expression pedals, such as the optional EX2, can also be used.

Whether you already own a Helix and want to expand your tonal adventures (your Helix/HX presets can be loaded into Helix Stadium), are considering an upgrade from another modeller, or are a traditional amp-and-effects player captivated by the convenience and near-limitless tone-shaping options of multi-effects, Helix Stadium Floor can help bring your musical vision to life.

New Sounds

Agoura Modeling raises the bar for authentic amp modeling — from tube and transformer behavior to dynamic interaction with speakers and cabinets — while also increasing the accuracy with which amps respond to your playing, so they feel as authentic as they sound. And if you prefer your amp tones a bit more refined, the new Hype control lets you switch with a single knob between ultra-authentic and idealized sounds. Also, with Proxy's cloud-based processing you can capture the sound of your own amps, cabinets and effects.

Interactive User Interface

At the heart of this sophisticated yet intuitive interface is a high-resolution 8" touchscreen which, combined with 11 knobs, 13 buttons and 12 footswitches, creates one of the most ergonomic, intuitive and inspiring control surfaces on the market. Features include Focus View with context-sensitive parameter control, preset audition audio clips, and explanatory info text for most parameters.

Showcase

Showcase is a live automation engine that lets Helix Stadium Floor control a wide range of parameters and functions — whether you're jamming in your basement or automating every aspect of a complex stage rig — from recalling presets and snapshots to MIDI remote-controlling external devices, playing back up to eight internal stereo audio tracks, and automating lighting and video gear — all tempo-synced. It's like having a crew of technicians at your feet helping turn small gigs and livestreams into major events.

Extensive Connectivity

Helix Stadium Floor provides a wide array of analog and digital I/O, including instrument and microphone inputs, XLR and 1/4" analog outputs, a headphone output, two send/return jacks, two multifunction dual-control jacks, and S/PDIF digital I/O. There are also DIN and USB MIDI connectors, a USB-A port and a proprietary Nexus connector for use with the optional Expand D10 and future peripherals. Multiple external footswitches and expression pedals, such as the optional EX2, are supported.

Future-Ready

While the Helix family has been continually expanded, updated and improved since its debut, Helix wasn't originally built for this scope. However, the architecture of the Helix Stadium family was designed from day one to serve as a platform for developing exciting new tools that let the Line 6 community realize their musical visions.
