The Line 6 Helix Control is a dedicated, tour-grade foot controller designed specifically to unlock the full potential of the Line 6 Helix Rack multi-effects guitar processor. While the Helix Rack can be controlled via standard MIDI, adding the Helix Control brings the same powerful, intuitive user interface found on the flagship floor-based Helix directly to your feet. Designed to keep your hands on your guitar, the Helix Control allows you to edit parameters, assign routing, and tweak amp or effects blocks completely hands-free using its innovative Pedal Edit Mode. Built with rugged, extruded solid-aluminum construction, it is designed to withstand the abuses of touring. Best of all, it connects to your Helix Rack via a single included CAT-5 (RJ45) cable, which cleanly handles both data transmission and power, eliminating cable clutter on stage. Features 12 Capacitive Touch-Sensitive Footswitches: Simply touch a footswitch (without fully pressing it) to instantly select an amp or effect block for editing, or press and hold to assign items. Customizable LCD Scribble Strips: Each of the 12 footswitches features its own individual LCD screen and a customizable RGB LED color ring, allowing you to clearly see what parameter, preset, or effect is assigned to it in any lighting condition. Hands-Free Pedal Edit Mode: Select the block you want to adjust, and its parameters are immediately mapped across the footswitches. You can then tweak the values using your foot via an attached expression pedal, meaning you never have to stop playing to adjust a knob. Main Display: Features a 20-character main LCD display to easily read preset names, numbers, and utilize the built-in chromatic tuner. Versatile Footswitch Modes: Instantly switch between Stomp, Preset, and Snapshot modes to control everything from individual effects to entire complex signal chains. Single Cable Connection: Uses a single RJ45/CAT-5 cable (a 25-foot cable is typically included) to connect to the Helix Rack, which delivers both communication data and power to run the pedal. Maximum Expression: Equipped with inputs for up to three expression pedals and a dedicated expression toe switch, giving you massive dynamic control over your sound. Tour-Ready Build: Housed in a heavy-duty, extruded solid-aluminum chassis designed to survive the rigors of the road while taking up less floor space and cutting down on overall weight compared to standard pedalboards.
