Line 6 Helix Stadium XL Multi Effects Processor

The Line 6 Helix Stadium XL Floor is a next-generation amp and effects processor that redefines what's possible in a performance rig. Building on the legacy of the original Helix, it harnesses advanced DSP power and Line 6’s acclaimed Agoura modeling technology to deliver ultra-responsive tone, world-class sound quality, and exceptional creative control—all packed into a streamlined and intuitive interface.

Engineered as a full-scale performance workstation, the Helix Stadium XL Floor features a vibrant 8" high-resolution touchscreen, 12 crisp OLED scribble strips, and seamless morphing between hyper-realistic amp models and idealized tones—all accessible from a single control. It doubles as a powerful 8-channel USB audio interface, complete with a Matrix cue mixer, Proxy amp/cab/effect cloning, and the groundbreaking Showcase automation engine. Showcase makes it the nerve center of your stage setup—automating presets and snapshots, controlling external loopers and DAWs, and managing everything from MIDI instruments and pedals to video and lighting cues. Built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi make remote control and integration easier than ever.

Connectivity is vast, including comprehensive analog and digital I/O, DIN and USB MIDI, flexible Control jacks, and a Nexus port that supports the optional Expand D10 module—offering additional ports for Variax, L6 LINK, 8-channel optical, and more. It also supports multiple expression pedals and footswitches, such as the optional EX2, for expanded real-time control.

Whether you're a long-time Helix user ready to elevate your rig, switching from another modeler, or a traditional amp enthusiast looking for modern flexibility, the Helix Stadium XL Floor delivers the tone, control, and connectivity to bring your musical vision to life—on stage, in the studio, and beyond.
