The streamlined Helix^® LT boasts the same dual-SHARC^® processing and professional-quality HX^® Modeling found in the flagship Helix Floor and Helix Rack amp and effects processors—outperforming all other products in its class. Features include a player-friendly interface with a large color LCD, capacitive-touch footswitches for easy editing, an onboard expression pedal, analog and digital I/O, and a USB audio interface.

AUTHENTIC TONE

The dual-SHARC^® audio engine in Helix products accurately recreates the sonic characteristics and dynamic playing response of classic and modern amplifiers and effects.

HX CABS/IMPULSE RESPONSES

Helix cabinet models offer a choice of 12 microphone types that may be positioned at various distances from the speaker cone and cabinet for additional flexibility. Third-party impulse responses may also be loaded.

COMPONENT MODELING

Each stage of an amp’s circuitry is measured and the results matched to the original during the modeling process, ensuring realistic sound and an authentic playing experience.

BEHAVIORAL MODELING

HX Modeling technology captures the unique behavior of analog effects devices by measuring their individual components, resulting in authentic recreations of even notoriously difficult-to-model effects such as germanium fuzz and “bucket-brigade” analog delay pedals.

CAPACITIVE-TOUCH FOOTSWITCHES

Simply touch a footswitch to instantly jump to any block and quickly adjust a parameter or assign controllers. Color-coded LED rings convey footswitch assignments and status at-a-glance.

HX EDIT

The free HX Edit software features the same intuitive user interface as Helix processors. Create complex signal chains with ease, adjust settings and parameters using dedicated sliders, customize footswitch labels, and much more.

FOUR STEREO SIGNAL PATHS

Helix processors feature four stereo signal paths, enabling the creation of sophisticated presets with numerous effect and other blocks. The signal paths may also be configured independently, making it possible to process up to four instruments simultaneously, and presets using only two paths can support true Preset Spillover.

COMMAND CENTER

Helix processors can serve as the command center for any rig. They can send up to six MIDI commands at preset or snapshot recall, and dedicated relays enable external amp switching. External expression pedals and footswitches may also be connected for additional control.
