Recently some of my friends have purchased new Line 6 Helix units, and it dawned on me that some people don't know what to do with their Helix as soon as they bring it home.

The obvious answer is to play it, as surely they will do, but they may not know how to register it for warranty, update it, or create presets.

So, in this video we'll show you how to register your new Helix, upgrade to the latest firmware and have you creating presets the same day you bring it home.

"Now we're gonna press save, and call it Eddie Van...oops I mean Eric. Lol.

[brad-guitar-miller]

Gave you the thumbs up just for "it's got that new Helix smell"

[markrohrbaugh]

That noisegate will save ya Everytime!! Thanks for the awesome video!!

[lcd]

Exactly the tutorial I needed to convince me to get the Helix. Cheers

[pokerfacemonks]

Dude! I’m only at 17:00 right now. I just have to jump in and say that Duel Pitch is bad ass! Right when you strummed the chords I thought I was back as a Van Halen concert! I had no clue this board it that bad ass! I’ve had my helix for about 6 months now and been doing shows with it on simple setting but, now after watching this in going to delve deeper and see what I can come up with!

[BobBerardjr]

They should really have a class on this. Seems easy but I know if I buy one. It would confuse me. One on one with a person would be the path I’d like to go

[chrisjeemusic]

Fantastic demo! Probably one of the best i've seen out of all the helix demos on here. Well done!

[mytubeable]

I’m glad you pointed out how easy it is to put in a noise gate! I’ll remember that, next time I’m using real single coil pups 😁🤘
Cheers!

Helix is so amazing. I sold mine & got the HX Stomp, which works EXACTLY the same. Line 6 is really amazing. I decided I can get away with the Stomp, a Morningstar MC6, a Seymour Duncan PS170 & basically tour the world & be just fine. Tiny board that I can carry on a plane with no issues. Technology is incredible nowadays. This is a great video to show someone just how easy the Helix can be.

[TRNyerereX]

This is the Absolute best i've seen, such a master class, i learnt so much .... i really appreciate you sir

[SirSneakerPimp]

Beyond Spooky. Yesterday I was looking, I repeat 👀 at the Line 6 Helix to see if I wanted one. And 24 hours later your video pops up to view. Your video alone has convinced me to make the purchase. Thank You so much for such an easy, user friendly intro into getting started with this.

[dukegdl]

What most of us look for is how to reproduce those tones that are heard in Helix's videos. Through the different brands of frfr speakers, real speakers, PA, amplifiers that work very well with stomboxes, such as the Fender Princeton. but as much as I try I mean adjustments in the equalizations, compressors, changes in the signal chain. etc. We never found, mainly with distortions and amplifier emulators.

[paulcreed]

I am so glad I watched this as I nearly threw away the USB stick and the cable as they were in the bottom of the packages. Thank you!! :-)

[GinnitunesRI]

This is one of the greatest how to’s I have ever seen

[LB-vnlu]

This was a truly helpful introductory video -- the best I found for a first-time user. The Line 6 Updater didn't work for me. But the HX Editor has the update functionality and did work. Building a first patch that used some of the best sounding effects was just great and really fun. This takes away a lot of the "what did I get myself into" effect" from first attempts to use the Helix and opens the door to learning how to use the Helix incrementally. There is so much. Thanks!

[josephstewart]

An extremely well-organized and helpful video. Why in the world Line-6 didn't offer such an introductory video (or series of videos) themselves (?), I do not know, but this introductory walk-through is enough to keep some new owner/users from getting frustrated and bagging the unit altogether, and quite frankly, I'm one of 'em! Haaaa! So kudos, and many thanx! ;-)

[sjsphotog]

awesome video and patch Eric. Great job. Hoping I can be able to get my Helix LT one day and join the Helix comminity....once I get back to work :) Keep up the good work

[adrianrafolsapacible]

I finally able to understand this Helix more... might buy one soon.

[kmwells]

Watched the video. Got a Helix. Bout to create a patch. Thanks for the great content!

[valuedhumanoid]

I work nights and this evening I saw my Helix was on my porch from zZounds delivered by FedEx. Whoo hoo! All I had time to do was get it out of the box and I brought all the cheat sheets and documents and have been studying them on my breaks and lunch. I just checked and it’s firmware 3.1 I believe. Yours is the first video I have come to and I am glad it is so good! Soon as I get home I am logging in and checking. Liked and subbed
