Helix Power in Rack Form

The Line 6 Helix Rack multi-effects processor reaches far beyond anything you've ever experienced. It can be a great addition to your rig, a streamlined controller for your existing system, or an incredible-sounding guitar interface for recording in the studio. It can even replace your entire effects setup! Equipped with Line 6's new HX modeling engine, Helix Rack will let you hear brand-new models of modern and vintage amps, cabs, mics, and effects, all designed to sound and feel amazing. And your rig-integration options are limitless, with Helix Rack's astoundingly comprehensive I/O and routing capabilities. What’s more, this House of Worship bundle includes the Helix Native amp/FX modeling plug-in, custom downloadable patches from Worshiptutorials.com, free Helix training from Doug Doppler’s Helix University, and advance emergency replacement. Line 6 has long been at the front of the modeling revolution, and Helix Rack is the professional guitar processor Line 6 was destined to make.

Power to spare

Line 6 spearheaded the modeling revolution years ago. Now they step into the future with Helix Rack. Helix Rack's brain is Line 6's dual DSP HX modeling engine. Representing a giant leap forward in guitar technology, the HX engine reproduces every minute detail that goes into a great amplifier. Guitarists at Sweetwater know that feel is important to most players, and every single aspect has been taken into account, down to an amplifier's power supply ripple and tube sag, ensuring you receive an ultra-realistic playing feel and experience. The classic bloom and compression of some amps and the powerful punch of others are all faithfully accounted for. And you can also load custom impulse responses to personalize your tone.

Up and Running in No Time

Before Helix Rack, powerful amp and effects modeling often came with a significant learning curve. But even with a massive amount of routing, recording, and editing power under the hood, Helix Rack's workflow is incredibly easy to learn. And the large 6.2" LCD display rids the system of all the menu surfing while giving as much control as the deepest editing software. It's so intuitive to navigate that Line 6 claims you'll have 90% of Helix mastered with a five-minute glance at the full-color Helix quick start guide. And we're not just talking tone editing. The four stereo paths per preset allow for all sorts of routing setups. You can design your rig at the speed of thought.

Give Helix the Control

Already have a beloved guitar rig that you've spent years getting just right? Helix Rack also makes a robust controller for your rig. It allows you to easily create a hardware/software hybrid setup integrating your other pedals, your channel-switching tube amplifier, rack equipment, and even other instruments, offering you one of the most in-depth routing I/O on any guitar processor. And you do it all through Helix Rack's four stereo effects loops. You can send multiple wet and dry signals to different sources, place the loops in various locations in your signal chain, swap between your amp and modeled sounds, and so much more. You can even take control of your band's MIDI rig with up to six separate MIDI commands at patch recall.

A bevy of extras worship musicians will appreciate

The Line 6 Helix Rack is amazing on its own, but this House of Worship bundle includes a cache of extras that worship musicians will find extremely beneficial. For starters, you get downloadable patches for the most popular worship songs from Worshiptutorials.com — your one-stop shop for learning worship songs, gaining pro leadership tips, and maximizing your musical skills. You also get free Helix training from Doug Doppler’s Helix University, and advance emergency replacement to ensure that you’re never without your essential gear.

Worth Reading

The Helix is about control. You can do anything you can imagine. You can make an expression pedal do multiple tasks. For example, heal back and volume is at 60%, amp #1 is at 80%, amp #2 is at 20%, 15+ effects pedals are engaged and your MIDI lighting is being controlled. Push pedal down and everything changes. You can choose to use stomp pedals instead and do the same thing. Whatever you imagine. You can load up a program that you created that can have eight different sounds. Each sound has its own stomp pedal with label (Intro, Verse 1, Chorus 1, Verse 2, Chorus 2, Instrumental, and Outra). It is all about control. You can choose which input and output is for your guitar and which are for you microphone. You can process each differently at the same time. If you desire plug-n-play only, then purchasing the Helix would be like purchasing a 1000 H.P. car to drive to work.

Pros:
1. User friendly (After initial setup). I connected my laptop and the Helix allowed me to click-and-drag, double click, and make changes similar to a Windows program. It is very easy to create your own programs from scratch: add an amp, then choose your effects pedals.
2. The amps sound real. I found amps in there that I liked better than my $5000 Marshall.
3. You can purchase and upload programs and IRs from the Internet.

Cons:
1. When you initially connect your computer, you need patience. None of the advice I received from the Internet or Line 6 worked for me. I had to try different approaches to get my laptop to communicate with the Helix (Worth the hassle).
2. The control pedal has been on backorder for months. (Still, not a dealbreaker).

Suggestion: Purchase a good quality flat response speaker made for amp modeling. I bought the Electro-Voice PXM-12MP 700W 12-inch Powered Floor Monitor and I love it.

The Scoop

I bought the Helix Rack over a year ago and have developed some nice sounds from clean to screaming leads. I originally plugged it straight into a converter but started sending it through a stereo tube pre which makes it sound like an amp. Don't waste your money on buying presets because the Helix sounds best when you craft it to your specific guitar/pickups.
Music background: Studio Owner

Most of the guitarists here at Sweetwater remember well the first time we heard a Line 6 POD - that strange kidney-bean-shaped gadget that totally rocked the guitar world. As one of the world's largest Line 6 dealers, we've had a first-row seat to every groundbreaking release they've come out with. In fact, many of us gig out with Helix, their latest multi-effects pedal, or their modeling amps every week. What's more, Line 6 brings the same innovative approach to their live sound equipment that's made their guitar gear so popular. Whether you're looking for the perfect guitar rig to cover a wide range of styles or fantastically affordable digital wireless, ask your Sales Engineer about Line 6.
