Line 6 Helix Rackmount Multi Effects UnitThe latest generation of Line 6 amp simulation is here! For decades now Line 6 have been leading the wave of digital amp simulation ever since they launched the POD all the way back in 1998. Now the next wave of premium products is here with the Helix Rack System.Using Line 6's dual DSP HX modeling engine you can get even closer to the sound in your head at your feet. With 45 amps, 30 cabs, 16 mics and 70 different effects built in to this thing you really can get any guitar or bass sound your heart desires.Every Nuance CapturedLine 6 have always had a great attention to detail but what they have done for the Helix is from another world. They have gone through and perfectly modeled every amplifier in the Helix from the power amp to the preamp even to going as far as to measure the power sag in the amp and implement that in to the models.If you have ever wondered if a digital amplifier can feel like the real thing it is really worth coming down and plug in in to the Helix you will not believe what this one unit can do.So Many OptionsLine 6 have spent years developing the Helix to be everything it is right now. So they didn't just want to stop at delivering the best possible amp and effects modeling but also incredible levels of control that you have never had before.That is why you can run up to four amplifiers simultaneously with up to 32 effects all running on four discrete stereo signal paths for ultimate clarity. You really can take full advantage of every effect, amplifier, cabinet and mic to make your own distinct sound that no one else has.ConnectivityIt is likely that you have already built up a rig of your own that you love the sound of. Line 6 know that you aren't just going to chuck out all of your boutique effects and amplifiers so they have included enough connectivity so you can use all of your own gear.With the ability to not only run four loops of your own external effects pedals but also change the channel on your amplifier either via MIDI or 1/4" jack this will soon become the centerpiece of your entire rig. AllReinvented UIWe all know one of the biggest pains with digital amp systems is that they take so long to set up and changing things on the fly is not easy.
