What we say:

At A Glance:

Line 6 bring to you the fantastic Helix HX Effects! Over 100 FX models from vintage to modern and drawn from the vast library Line 6 have curated over the years.

Fully editable with cutting edge features like capacitive-sensing switches with LED rings and scribble strips that will make this the command centre for your latest guitar assault!

Features We Love:

Vast Tonal Selection

Dive deep into some of the sounds and FX that changed the pedal landscape back in the early noughties with a vast selection of Line 6’s famous sounds. All modeled from the original source and with unbelievable precision you’ll be amazed at the scope and sound of this pedal thanks to the same DSP chip and patented HX modeling found in the top of the line Helix.

Behavioural Effects Modeling

The HX Effects painstakingly recreates every nuance of vintage FX by the ingenious method of modeling their individual components. The authenticity of these are off the scale! Making it possible to bring back the characteristics of vintage silicone as well as the warmth found in certain tape echo preamps!

In Depth routing Options

One of the great things with the Helix range is the ability to absolutely geek out and get crazy with pedal routing. Split/parallel signal paths provide flexible routing for both simple and complex signal chains as well as stereo options to fill out any stage your are in the middle of destroying!

Highlights:

  • Next generation FX sounds in a compact footprint
  • Surprisingly easy yet in depth interface that can be mastered quickly
  • The ultimate control centre of any rig

Customer reviews

Overall Rating 5/5 (31 reviews)

A superbly versatile piece of kit, I'm currently using it to give me a virtual pedalboard per-song (song title on the scribble strips)...and within each song, I can create snapshots of different tones for say Intro / verse / chorus / solo - also shown on the scribble strips. Just got an expression pedal (Boss EV-30) for the wah / volume blocks. Creating / editing the virual boards / the HX Effects settings via "HX Edit" on a laptop is very straightforward and quick. Effects quality is excellent, I play a large cross-section of styles from funk/disco to metal and I was concerned about the quality of overdrives, figuring I'd use the unit's ability to switch channels on the amp if needed, instead of using the HX's drive blocks but they're actually superb for soloing and rhythm parts - I just run the amp on the clean channel and the HX Effects does everything I need. Overall a massive improvement on tap-dancing the pedal board for every track/section and really high quality effects to boot. Highly recommended.

Exactly what I was looking for. Editing soft makes is super versatile but it's also easy to use from device itself.

Aleksander P. - 2/11/2023

Still need to set this up properly but at first look it seems to be a fantastic piece of equipment with a huge range of sounds.

Melanie W. - 8/5/2023

Great product. I used to have a pod xt and it's amazing how things have evolved. Easy to use and sounds great

les c. - 13/12/2022

An excellent product from Line 6, representing superb value for money given the number of effects and programming features that are available. It is intuitive to use and very straightforward to set up if you just want it to act as a basic pedalboard, but it is worth spending time looking through the online manual to get the most from it.

Philip P. - 7/7/2022

I have yet to explore it fully, but on first impressions it's a great piece of kit, very solidly built and well worth the price compared to single pedals.

Mark J. - 28/6/2022

Had one of these a while ago, but I got bored with it. After trying a hotone, then a headrush and then a HX stomp, (then a HX stomp XL) I've gone back to the HX effects. Its easier to use for me with the separate loops and the 6 mini screens , and it still sounds great.

Nevil D. - 7/6/2022

Just a perfect service in every way thanks guys ????

Stephen . - 6/3/2022

This very much lives up to the excellent reviews it gets online.

Simon B. - 18/2/2022

Peter L. - 17/2/2022

Incredible quality of sound and build. Only just touched the surface of what this can do. Really does replace most of your other pedals.

Richard M. - 12/2/2022

Paul C. - 15/1/2022

Quite easy to use but bit of a learning curve and reference to manual required. Good range of sounds and very configurable once you get the hang of it. Product provides just what I need for replacing/complementing pedalboard with asking me to pay for extras (amp modelling) which I don't require.

Howard S. - 26/11/2021

Love the number of tones that come with this product. Great for small and big gigs and holds some helix features.

Zun T. - 26/4/2021

sturdy build, big selection of sounds,and good software editor ,there is a learning curve to climb if you want to get the most from this effects unit, but it is worth persevering

William S. - 27/3/2021

Love it. Great bit of kit!

Christian B. - 22/10/2020

Brian J. - 30/9/2019

Great piece of kit which is easy to use and packed with features. Well worth the money. Sounds are amazing and very easy to edit.

ian l. - 29/7/2019

Fantastic always with line 6 easy to use for a bedroom guitar player one of best ever bought

ian S. - 7/7/2019

You always have to have in mind what you plan to use the item for and what the competition is. For me, this was purchased to use with normal amps either valve or a DV Mark. I was probably more leaning towards wanting reverbs and delays but have to say the overdrives etc are fantastic. They are comparable to my AX8 and better than the ones in the DV Mark. Plenty of flexibility and options and as of yet I haven't tested out everything for controlling external gear. Easy to use via the onboard stuff and also with the PC editor. Those buying this type of device need to have some patience. Every time I have used digital modelling (including the AX8 and DV Mark) the initial impression has been poor. You have to spend time honing the sounds to work with your gear especially with this effects only HX box. So many things need to be got in balance but once you have homed in on a couple of settings you can use them for all your other presets. It is simple to use so you can't complain about that. Construction wise it is not in the same league as the AX8 but that is as good as it gets from my point of view. This at L400 is a great price. I've had more than L300 worth of overdrive pedals in use at one time and managing them is a nightmare. Cables playing up, tap dancing etc etc. Personal choice of course but it is very convenient without sacrificing sound.

Best service, best prices, great delivery and packaging. This item was bought on line and the companies staff are knowlegable and professional in handling the products. Everything is prompt, helpful and efficient. I have always had a great experience shopping with Guitar Guitar

Mary S. - 12/11/2018

Lost of stuff in a small box. Lots of ways to be use with the fx loops, amp channel switching and midi. You can also use up to nine loops on any preset witch means you can have all your fav pedalboard in one small place. Save room on your board for your best pedals or just use this as your main pedalboard

SEAN W. - 3/11/2018

Perhaps it's my age but it has taken me a while to get used to this unit. I have a Boss GT 1000 and that is a far better unit in terms of ease of use and sound quality. In time I will get there and maybe it is not fair to compare these products.
