Excellent for playing, recording, and time management (great saver)

I find this device to be excellent and joy to use. I gave only four stars in the features/sound quality only to highlight that I am not satisfied with most of the presents available out-of-the-box. But since there is a huge community and lots of excellent instructional YT channels out there (e.g., John Nathan Cordy) the sound can be tweaked to where it needs to be, but for the novice like me the factory presets are no starter at all.

What can I say?!?! Wow

Took a chance and believed the hype. If you spend time with this, you can easily go out and gig it. No amp, no effects board just Helix. Also amazing in the studio to sculpt any sound you can imagine.

Good Tool

Using this pedal for both Lead guitar and Voice at the same time. Perfect solution for guitarists who sing as well in the band and want to experiment with voice effects.

Still good

The stock sounds are good, but not great. Once you put good IR's in it, the game changes. It's so good and powerful. 4 years of use and it still rocks.

Les pédales, c'est pour les vélos !

Sans rire. Ce truc est dingue.

Déjà les très nombreux presets dedans sont ouf, mais vu que tout est modifiable dans une interface vraiment bien foutue, c'est un must have !!

Puis dès qu'on chipote avec les Impulse Response, là, c'est le nirvana. Pas le groupe hein, le paradis !!

Versatile unit for home recordings

Works perfectly. I use it as home unit, has most of the things you might need as a up-and-coming guitarist/vocalist. Many effects to choose from

Biggest pros: many amps to choose from, apparently you only need headphones or simple cab the rest will give you Line6, surprising sound (you can adjust "mic settings" to make your own sound). Nice distortion effects and other stuff.

Flaws: looper is weak (one channel, small buffer) - if you need looper to practise it is fine, but if you need looper for wider usage you might need something more. Also the foot switch is kind of hard to use.

The Helix is unbelievable.

The Helix is unbelievable.

This is hands down the best money I've spent on guitar equipment.

Sounds amazing, and has very flexible inputs/outputs.

The Helix has many options to built a good tone , it is complex and you have too keep that in mind when you buy one. Because it is complex you can easily build tones but to build good tones you might actually stick some time to it , to learn the way you properly use it but after you do , you get very good tones , especially for Modern metal genre.

The feature are way more then enough. The Quality is SOLID. you can rest assure nothing will brake easily , all you have to care about is the screen , but there are many screen protectors you can buy on the market. Compared to a Kemper , this is way better in my opion since you can manipulate the sound you want way much better.Line 6 also has a pretty active community and a site for sharing patches. The other day, I heard a song, and was pretty intrigued by the sound on the guitar. I watched a video of the band to see what he was using for an instrument (Les Paul) and then went to line 6’s site and searched for the song in the presets archive. Sure enough, grabbing the preset from the archive and plugging in my Les Paul, bam, I’ve got the sound.

This is 10/10 guitar processor, hope you enjoy it !
