One of the most eagerly anticipated launches in recent memory, the Line 6 Helix Stadium XL is a comprehensive workstation for tone creation and a thorough control center for managing live performances. Starting with the powerful Agoura modeling engine, the Helix Stadium XL delivers 134 amp and 46 cabinet models, as well as 274 effects models. Whether working in your DAW or thrilling audiences on stage, Helix Stadium XL provides quick and simple editing tools, numerous I/O options, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, built-in expression pedal and 8” high-resolution color touchscreen.
In this video, tone maestro Yvette Young (Covet) digs into the Helix Stadium XL’s sonic capabilities with Line 6 Chief Product Design Architect Eric Klein.
“Anything involving a lot of menu diving and things like that I get intimidated by, because I’m used to just turning knobs and pressing switches,” explains Young. “But immediately the Helix Stadium XL feels so inviting to use. The tone alchemy component is so convenient, such as being able to audition different amps and swap what my chorus and fuzz would sound like in a different order within the signal path. Having everything laid out visually for me is a big win.”

Tonal Power and Intuitive Control
As demonstrated by Young and Klein, the Line 6 Helix Stadium XL expands the sound design process, as well as making it quick and easy to document your creativity in your home studio and share it with live audiences.
