OUR STORY
Inspiring innovation.

We’re musicians. We’re technologists. So, we’re fanatics about engineering innovative, amazing-sounding gear that’s ready to go right out of the box. And we’re pros who have a track record of designing category-defining products that shatter technical barriers─so you can focus on your music.

We introduced the world’s first digital modeling amp. We’re the ones behind the groundbreaking POD® multi-effect, that revolutionized the industry with an easy way to record guitar with great tone. Our Variax® guitars can do more than any other instrument in history, and we’ve led the wireless analog-to-digital transition for musicians everywhere with our Relay® products.

We haven’t stopped, either. Now, Line 6 has introduced HelixTM, our new flagship tour-ready guitar processor. Helix represents a giant leap forward in guitar processing, as well as a new way of thinking about guitarists and their relationship to technology. Helix joins a long line of past Line 6 innovations including the AMPLIFi family for Practice, Play and Recording, and the FirehawkTMmulti-effects processor, which both incorporate intuitive app-based editing capabilities. Our StageScape® live sound workstation and StageSource® loudspeakers make music creation even better by incorporating powerful technology like iOS, the cloud, digital networking and more.

We’re proud that our long history of ingenuity and passion for innovation has helped us to change the industry. We’re all about giving you access to the tools you need to create, perform and record in ways you never thought possible. We promise that we’ll always take dramatic leaps so you can reach new heights with your music. That’s our commitment to you, because in the end, we love being a part of making great music.
