Line 6 Helix LT

LINE 6’S HELIX AMP AND EFFECTS modeler instantly became one of the go-to devices for a subset of players who eschew amps onstage in favor of emulations.

It joined Fractal’s Axe-FX II and the Kemper Profiler as a solution for guitarists who need to access a wide variety of sounds without hauling around a humongous pedal board, or racks with drawers of pedals, amps, and amp switchers. But, as attractive as Helix LT is (and it is gorgeous), if you are playing in bar bands rather than with Katy Perry, you might find the $1,499 tariff a bit steep. Recognizing this, Line 6 has unveiled the LT version, which streets at $999.
