Line 6 Helix LT

Build tones and soundscapes with the Line 6 Helix LT Multi-Effects Guitar Processor. Powered by the same acclaimed HX modelling technology as the flagship Helix Floor and Rack models, it combines dual-DSP processing with incredibly detailed amplifier, cabinet, microphone and effects modelling to deliver a responsive, authentic playing experience for guitarists and creators.

Designed to fit seamlessly into your existing rig, the Helix LT offers versatile routing and streamlined connectivity for a wide range of live and studio setups. Its large LCD screen and touch-sensitive footswitches make navigating presets, editing effects and fine-tuning your sound straightforward, even when inspiration strikes mid-performance.

Whether you're building complex signal chains, recreating your favourite amplifier tones or exploring entirely new sounds, the Helix LT gives you the flexibility and control to shape your ideal guitar sound with confidence.

Authentic Guitar Amp and Effects Modelling

The Line 6 Helix LT brings together advanced HX modelling technology with powerful dual-DSP processing to recreate the sound and response of renowned amplifiers and effects. From bell-like cleans to dirty overdrive, its detailed modelling captures the nuanced dynamics and character of real-world equipment, bringing a whole world of amplifiers and effects into your personal sound palette.

Custom impulse response (IR) support lets you personalise cabinet sounds, giving you greater flexibility to create your ideal guitar tone and fine-tune every part of your rig setup.

Flexible Guitar Rig Integration and Advanced Signal Routing

With the Line 6 Helix LT's versatile signal routing, you can easily integrate it with your existing amplifiers, pedals, and external equipment. This lets you build customised signal chains and place effects exactly where you need them for a tailored playing experience.

What's more, the L6 LINK supports compatible Line 6 equipment, while the Variax input lets you control compatible guitars and instrument models.

Intuitive Controls for Fast, Hands-On Tone Editing

The Line 6 Helix LT lets you shape your sound quickly with touch-sensitive footswitches, a large LCD screen, and colour-coded LED rings. Select effect blocks by touching a footswitch and adjust them without navigating complicated menus. Fast and efficient effects at your feet.

Plus, the customisable footswitch labels help you identify effects at a glance, making live performances and preset editing more straightforward, especially when playing on the fly.

Pedal Edit Mode for On-the-Fly Adjustments

You can also fine-tune effects while playing with Pedal Edit Mode. Select an effect block and parameter, then use the expression pedal to adjust settings such as delay feedback or modulation depth, letting you create while you perform. This hands-on control makes it easier to refine your tone without stopping to access additional controls.

Helix Edit Software for Custom Presets and Signal Chains

Connect the Helix LT to your Mac or PC via USB and use Helix Edit to create, organise and customise presets. Its visual interface lets you drag and drop amps, cabinets, and effects into your preferred signal chain. Here, you can easily save and manage different tones for gigs, recording sessions, and musical styles.
