The rack version makes sense if you already have other rack gear or if you re gigging regualrly and extremely worried about it getting beer soaked.
Difference between helix rack and floor.
I like the idea of having a v small footprint at the front of the stage the rack can be tucked out of the way wherever.
Join paul hindmarsh as he discuss.
So what are the differences between the helix floor and helix lt guitar processors.
It provides almost exactly the same features and facilities but it s not fitted with control word clock or guitar thru connectors and since it has an integral expression pedal connects to only two external expression.
We meet paul from line 6 at the frankfurt musikmesse 2017 to establish the differences between the existing helix floor unit and the brand new helix lt.
The line 6 helix hx stomp is the smallest in the range is incredibly powerful for what it is.
The floor mounted version of the helix which wasn t sent for review combines the functionality of the rack and control.
Something else to consider is that helix native will be coming out this month or next month and its 399 for non helix owners 299 for helix lt owners and 99 for full helix or rack owners.
It has 300 effects and amp and cab models to give you a rig in a tiny pedal format.
They certainly have a lot in common.
It d be a cool option for someone who usually needed helix floor but occasionally wanted to go a different route.
If you get at least 10 off the full helix that will be 1349 and with the 300 discount on native for all intents and purposes your at 1049 for two.
Helix specializes in floor units so they only offer a single rack style product known appropriately as the helix rack.
For example preferring to keep helix floor on their desk or music stand for editing i know i know there s an editor but wanted the option to control it with their feet in the studio.
