Every pick, every nuance of your playing is faithfully reproduced, so you immediately know: this isn’t a simulation – this is your sound.
Want to shape your tone even further? With the new Hype feature, you can easily dial between raw, authentic amp feel and a clean, perfectly polished sound – all with a single control.
And the best part: thanks to Proxy Cloud Processing, you can capture your own amps, cabinets, and effects in the cloud and use them anywhere – in the studio, on stage, or on the go.
Agoura Modeling – for guitarists who make no compromises and want to take their digital sound to the next level.
INTERACTIVE INTERFACE – Control That Inspires.
At the heart of the modern yet highly intuitive user interface, a high-resolution 8" touchscreen and 12 high-contrast 1.7" OLED scribble strips work seamlessly together. Combined with 11 knobs, 13 buttons, and 12 footswitches, this creates a workflow so natural and ergonomic that you can fully focus on your music – no detours, no distractions.
With Focus View, you always see exactly the parameters that matter in the moment. The Preset Audition feature lets you hear sounds instantly and quickly find the right preset, while the integrated info texts clearly explain what each parameter does – simple, clear, and musically designed.
Rounding it all off is a fully integrated expression pedal with toe-switch, fully assignable to control almost any parameter precisely and dynamically in real time. Whether you’re on stage live or fine-tuning in the studio, this interface not only responds to you – it inspires you.
SHOWCASE
Showcase is the new live automation engine that gives your Helix Stadium XL Floor full control over nearly every aspect of your performance. Whether you’re jamming in the rehearsal room or managing a complex stage setup, Showcase makes it all possible.
You can automatically recall presets and snapshots, control external devices via MIDI, play up to eight internal stereo tracks, or even automate lighting and video systems – all perfectly tempo-synced.
It feels like having an entire tech team at your feet, handling every move in the background. This transforms smaller gigs, livestreams, or club shows into impressive experiences that stick in your audience’s mind.
Showcase – so your performance not only sounds great, but looks and feels like a true event.
EXTENSIVE CONNECTIVITY – Everything Connected, Everything Under Control.
The Helix Stadium XL Floor offers an impressive array of analog and digital inputs and outputs, allowing you to shape your setup exactly how you need it. Two instrument inputs, a microphone input, XLR and 1/4" outputs, a phones output, four send/return loops, and two multi-function dual control jacks provide maximum flexibility – whether you’re playing live or working in the studio.
Everything digital is covered too: with S/PDIF I/O, DIN and USB MIDI, a USB-A port, and the proprietary Nexus port, you’re perfectly equipped – for the optional Expand D10 and future peripherals.
The Helix also supports multiple external footswitches and expression pedals, such as the optional EX2, allowing you to fine-tune your setup to match your playing style even more precisely.
Helix Stadium XL Floor – maximum connectivity for musicians who know no limits.
OPTIONAL EXPANSION – More Possibilities, More Control.
With the optional Expand D10, you can take the flexibility of your Helix Stadium XL Floor to a whole new level. Connect Variax® Modeling guitars directly via VDI and seamlessly integrate with Powercab® 112+/212+ active guitar speakers using L6 LINK – for flawless integration and professional sound flow.
In addition, the 8-channel optical out opens up new possibilities to connect your setup with audio interfaces, digital mixers, or multi-connector breakout boxes. This turns your Helix system into a flexible centerpiece for any modern performance or studio environment.
The optional EX2 expression pedal with toe-switch complements the Helix Stadium XL Floor not only functionally but also visually – for even more precise control and a cohesive overall setup.
Expand D10 & EX2 – the perfect expansion for anyone looking to upgrade their rig without compromise.
FUTURE READY – Ready for What’s Next.
Since its introduction, the Helix family has been continuously expanded, improved, and equipped with new features. The Helix Stadium XL Floor takes this a step further: its architecture was designed from the ground up to serve as a platform for future innovations.
This means new sounds, new tools, and new creative possibilities can be seamlessly integrated – without compromise. The Helix Stadium XL Floor becomes a long-term investment in your musical vision and a system that grows with you.

With the HX series of pedals , Line 6 has created a new standard. As a further development of the popular POD, POD XT and POD HD series , Line 6 finally brought the HELIX, the flagship of the range and a new light (or many small lights) to stages and recording studios around the world. Rarely has such an extensive range of amplifier simulations, speakers and IRs as well as effects been shown in such a stage and everyday format . It was more than an evolution in modeling, it was a revolution in the way future devices of this type should look, function and, most importantly, sound. In good Line 6 fashion, however, it didn't end there. While the hardware remains largely unchanged, the software is continuously improved through free updates for customers. A HELIX customer gets a device that is just as modern today as it was when it was released, and can continue to look forward to new features, new amps, new speakers and new effects . Using the free Line 6 Edit software , users can also control their Helix directly from their computer, making it even easier to create sounds .
In addition to the flagship HELIX, a variety of products are also released under the HX label that offer a smaller feature set but always the same outstanding sound . HELIX LT offers slightly stripped-down hardware with the same sound options as its big brother. HX Effects delivers hundreds of modulation effects, drives, reverbs, delays and the like to anyone who doesn't need amp simulation. The smallest, full-featured HX model, the HX Stomp, is particularly popular. In a enclosure that only takes up a fraction of the HELIX, Line 6 offers a fully comprehensive sound processor that brings all the sounds of the HX series and fits on every pedalboard. This means musicians can take their entire range of sounds with them in their guitar bag, or create great sound worlds in the studio in a space-saving manner. And of course this including software updates and Line 6 Edit.
Line 6. Hardly any name is more associated with modeling and innovative sound design than the Californian sound company. The brand took off with the famous red “bean”, the Line 6 Pocket POD , in the early 2000s. This meant that musicians could suddenly access a wide range of amplifier model and effect sounds in the recording studio without having to set up complex setups and microphones. “Modelling” suddenly found itself in the mainstream, found on almost every studio console or delivered sounds to headphones at home. At session , the POD series is still a top seller today, adding new features such as improved sound, significantly more amp models and hundreds of effects in every generation, POD 2.0, POD XT, POD HD500. Current models like the Line 6 POD GO also offer the option of using multiple rigs at the same time and playing complex sounds with multiple amplifiers and effects at the same time.
For professionals , Line 6 expanded the product portfolio in 2015 to include Helix, a type of high-end POD with endless options for precisely adjusting the perfect sounds. With professional routing options, displays on the footswitches to show the current setup and the most realistic sound in LINE 6 history to date, the Helix can still be found on stages and in studios around the world today. With the Helix LT, a reduced model with fewer features, and the HX Stomp , a very compact, cheaper version, the Californians later expanded the range to include slimmed-down versions for smaller budgets. HX Effects rounds off the Helix series with a pure effects module without amplifier sounds and is extremely popular at session !
But at session you will of course also find the second mainstay in the Line 6 range alongside the multi-effects pedals: amplifier model.
Line 6 Modeling didn't begin in pedal form, but first reached musicians as a kind of all-in-one amplifier model, the AxSYS 212, which included a variety of classic amp tones, from clean to metal. These roots later gave rise to classics such as the Line 6 VETTA II, but also an absolute entry-level top seller: the Spider! Today, the Line 6 Spider V MkII is an absolute classic in the entry-level amplifier sector and offers great sound for a reasonable amount of money for home, music school, rehearsal room or the first stages, no matter what style of music.
Whether modeling amplifiers for electric guitars , multi-effects pedals or now also wireless systems for instruments for wireless use of the guitar on stage, Line 6 is and remains a standard for everyone who is looking for outstanding sound with maximum flexibility.
