Thanks to the good folks at Line 6 for the FREE update. Awesome as always. I think some of the other digital solutions could learn a lot from your approach on updates. Much appreciated!

People say “is the helix still relevant” which doesn’t make any sense…as long as something sounds good and works, it doesn’t matter if its old or new…well done👍

[nikhilnarahari]

This. This right here is why I just added an HX Stomp to my pedalboard - proud to be a new member of the Line 6 family 🤘🏽🤘🏽

Thank you, Line 6! I bought the first gen Flextone HD in 1998 and have been enjoying the Helix for years now.

[Onemanband]

Excellent playing and demo as usual Paul! Thanks to you and everyone on the Line 6 team!

Thank you Line 6 for your ongoing support for your customers. Been in the family since Pod XT Live, and won't be leaving anytime soon. As a huge Steve Lukather fan, I can't wait to try the German Models.

This is what makes Line 6 the first option for choice, performance and support with integrity. The best purchase I have made throughout my guitar journey. For the 19th time, thank you Line 6.

[LeonardoLexMinati]

Please guys, keep on doing this! I think HX is the best digital solution out there! ❤

Line6 is KILLING IT! Awesome work. Thanks

[biggingergit]

Sounds amazing mate, really insane tones … and playing of course.

[Double___Strings]

I’ve been waiting for the 5150 III’s forever! Now they gotta add the Stealth and EL34’s.

[ignaciovaldesfernandez]

excelent as always, can't belive how well ages my helix floor and still getting updates that really impact my tone and the way i can create more sounds, thank you!!!!

[thebunn]

I just updated and these new models are captured WELL! Excellent work! I already loved the platform, but these new models really deliver that extra sonic detail and response I was looking for. The only dream I have left for Helix, would be flagship DSP in the HX Stomp form factor. The HX Stomp Pro Max!? Hahaaa! Thanks for all you do!
