Flagship Tone – The Line 6 Helix Stadium Floor and Effects Processor

• Focus View with contextual parameter control
• Preset Audition audio clips and information
• Showcase automation and playback engine
• Highly precise expression pedal with toe switch

The flagship Helix Stadium XL Floor amp and effects processor may be thought of as a performance workstation, given its high-resolution 8-inch touch screen, 12 high-contrast OLED scribble strips, ability to morph between ultra-authentic and idealized amp sounds with a single control, 8-channel audio interface, versatile Matrix cue mixer, Proxy amp, cab, and effect cloning, and Showcase automation and playback engine. Showcase enables it to serve as the centerpiece of an entire stage setup—including automatically recalling presets and snapshots, controlling loopers and software, and using MIDI to control pedals, keyboards and synths, video, and even lighting. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi control are also supported.

Helix Stadium XL Floor offers extensive connectivity, including various analog and digital audio inputs and outputs, MIDI (DIN and USB), multipurpose Control jacks, and a proprietary Nexus port for use with the optional Expand D10 unit and future peripherals. The Expand D10 provides Variax, L6 LINK, 8-channel optical, and other connectors. Multiple external footswitches and expression pedals, such as the optional EX2, are also supported.

Whether musicians are current Helix owners seeking to further their sonic adventures (Helix/HX presets can be loaded into Helix Stadium), are considering upgrading from another modeler, or are traditional amp and effects players intrigued by the convenience and nearly unlimited tone-crafting possibilities offered by multi-effects—Helix Stadium XL Floor can help them realize their musical visions.

New Sounds

Agoura modeling establishes a new benchmark for authentic sound when modeling physical amplifiers—from tube and transformer behavior to dynamic interaction with speakers and cabs—while also greatly increasing the accuracy of how amps respond to the player's playing dynamics, so they feel as authentic as they sound. Should players prefer their amp tones to be more polished, the new Hype feature enables them to morph between ultra-authentic and idealized sounds using a single control. Plus, Proxy cloud-based processing enables players to capture the sound of their own amplifiers, cabinets, and effects.

Interactive Interface

At the heart of the sophisticated yet intuitive user interface are a high-resolution 8-inch touch screen and 12 high-contrast 1.7-inch OLED scribble strips. These work in tandem with the 11 knobs, 13 buttons, and 12 footswitches to create the most ergonomic and inspiring interface available. Features include Focus View with contextual parameter control, Preset Audition audio clips, and explanatory information text for most parameters. A fully integrated and assignable expression pedal with toe switch enables highly precise control of nearly any parameter.

Showcase

Showcase is a live automation engine that empowers Helix Stadium XL Floor to control a wide range of parameters and functions, whether musicians are jamming in their basements or automating every aspect of a sophisticated stage setup—from onboard preset and snapshot recall to MIDI remote control of external devices to playing up to eight internal stereo audio tracks to automating lighting and video rigs—all while tempo syncing everything. It is like having a team of techs at their feet, helping them transform smaller venue gigs and livestreams into buzzworthy events.

Extensive Connectivity

Helix Stadium XL Floor provides an extensive array of analog and digital inputs and outputs, including two Instrument inputs and a microphone input, XLR and 1/4-inch analog outputs, a Phones output, four send/return jacks, two multipurpose dual Control jacks, and S/PDIF digital I/O. There are also DIN and USB MIDI connectors, a USB A port, and a proprietary Nexus port for use with the optional Expand D10 and future peripherals. Multiple external footswitches and expression pedals, such as the optional EX2, are supported.

Optional Expansion

The optional Expand D10 greatly increases the flexibility of Helix Stadium XL Floor. Connect Variax modeling guitars using VDI and Powercab 112+/212+ active guitar speaker systems using L6 LINK. It also expands the ways in which Helix Stadium XL Floor may be used with audio interfaces, digital mixers, multi-connector breakout boxes, and other devices via 8-channel optical out. The optional EX2 expression pedal/toe switch perfectly complements Helix Stadium XL Floor both functionally and aesthetically.

Future Ready

Although Helix Family products have been continuously expanded, updated, and improved since they were introduced, Helix was not originally designed for that purpose. The architecture of Helix Stadium Family products, however, has been engineered from the very beginning to provide a foundation for developing exciting new tools that help members of the Line 6 community realize their musical visions.
