I've owned one for the past 9 years and I purchased it with the very 1st batch of production models. Everytime the product gets a firmware update, feels like Santa brings me tens of thousands of dollars of free gear! Best 1000 bucks I've ever spent in my life on musical gear.
That is exactly what I was thinking back in 2016 when I bought one used. Still going strong. I did finally have to abandon my win 7 computer because the latest firmware updates needed win 10/11. I guess I am just stubborn.
I just pulled the trigger myself after fawning over it for many years. I haven't done much more than mess around with the presets, but wow, this thing sounds great!
Don't hesitate to build different versions of pedal boards you would have assembled if you had the money to do so. It is really satisfying to just rearrange the fx chains at will.
Dan, thank You so much for your insight and advice. I picked up my Helix Lt a few days ago. It has the latest update and sounds phenomenal with my hand wired Vox ac15. I am sure that we aren’t late to the party. I’m also using it in an effects loop with my ToneX pedal.
Great vid as always Dan! I use a HELIX LT in 4 Cable Method to get the best out of both real amp (power amp & cab) and sim recording & it's ace! Grabbing a DI plus the HELIX outs as well as the mic/cab gives great flexibility as well as useful feedback. The accompanying HELIX EDIT makes fine tuning sounds on your computer fast and the NATIVE plugin compliments the recording process in your DAW - so a great studio all round ecosystem. We are truly spoiled 😋
Thanks so much! Sounds like you got your setup down. I’m actually using a 4 cable method with the Tonex Capture box. That’s a topic I have coming up. Pairing Tonex and Helix for great amp capturing. Stay tuned!
I bought my helix in 2020. I came from the TC electronics g system. I use to love the G system but it was so heavy. the helix gave me a solution for internal distortion , effects in general and amp modelers. 2024, I still loving my pedalboard and each time know it better.
I just picked up a Helix LT at a great price. Having sold my HX Stomp a few months ago I found that I missed its functionality and versatility, although the larger LT and flagship versions are fantastic and provide more options. I have been using Neural Plug ins to get most of our bands guitar sounds which are awesome. Even though with the new 3.71 update I decided to replace all the Neural plug in with Helix Native and honestly the Helix sounds just as good! Overall the Helix platform has proved itself over and over, endured many years of new comers to the market and imho remains a very strong contender for anyone after a extremely versatile great sounding and easy to use product its respective market sector. No brainer and a definite safe bet even in 2024.
The biggest reason I pulled the trigger on this years ago was my plan to quit buying gear. If you aren't a gear snob and have to spend $500 on every fx pedal, you can save (and I have) thousands of dollars using those near equivalent fx built into the Helix - not to mention the $'s I would have spent on the devices required to do all of the routing that is available in the I/O's.
Hi - thanks for this video it was super timely for me. I just crawled out from under a rock and was wondering which modeler to get and whether the Helix was (still) the way to go.
You have to look at the numerous (free) updates over the years and see how the Helix is still relevant. They proved to be good for their promise that they would keep it relevant. I didn't have to buy anything new + I can still use any of my old gear I want in the fx loops. I'm finally about to dive into making full use of the stereo circuit in the 345. What more can I ask?
Thanks so much! Actually setting levels is really good. Every stage has a gain/volume adjustment. Even the send/returns have their own level adjustment. And the final output stage also has a level adjustment. I’ll dive into this when I tackle specific topics but flexibility with gain staging is really good.
Yes but I need phantom power for the condensers. I have an external mic preamp. Would just be nice to have two mic preamps on board. Not a biggy though.
@@LonelyRocker You can use the tube preamp block in the Helix as a mic amp. That's what I do with an SM57 on my HX Stomp XL. Also needed an impedance transformer on the mic cable to match the low-Z XLR cable to the high-Z HX Stomp XL 1/4 inch input.
Great video! The size might be an issue, if you're travelling around a lot in airplanes....you can easily bring e.g. the Quad cortex or the Mooer GE 300 as hand luggage. And the processing power can be an issue, especially with the high end units using complex algorithms. Like the Fractal audio FM9. Try using a reverb, Multiplex delay and some modulation effects + drive block with your amp and cab.... you'll overload that thing pretty quick. Even with the Axefx3. these things are not terribly efficient imho. Some units like the Boss GT1000 or the Neural DSP QC don't seem to have these problems though...
Thanks! Yeah, I mentioned that the experience will be different for each player. And I get the travel bit. Though back in the day we didn’t have these options so it’s still a bit funny to me 😂
With Helix Native, you can have unlimited DSP (limited oniy by the power of your PC). It is hard to know where the Helix can go.., when Line 6 gives you the software to run on your computer, and it will just be updated. There is no noticeable latency in the Helix Native plugin.
It's great for sure...but latency may still be present if you try to record into it. It's more to do with the individual interface and/or computer....the beauty of the hardware is direct monitoring with ZERO latency....
I have zero latency indirect monitoring...through a focusrite 4.4 (version 3), when recording. My PC system isn't that special. I also have a fcb1010 midi foot controller to control snapshots etc. I have a line 6 helix LT, a HXFX, and a Boss GT1000 core, and I barely use them. With the Focusrite interface you can do loopback, (so you can loop backing tracks off CZcams, straight into your DAW).
It fried whatever pre amp chip that is that makes it work. I discovered that it happened on my device at the start of a sound check :/. There’s multiple reports on Google about the same issue.
I've always been leery of using the mic/phantom power feature. I just can't wrap my head around mic's, phantom power, and that whole interaction with the Helix (or any other mic related uses for that matter).
I’ve never heard of an issue powering it off with phantom power enabled, but the earlier hardware builds indeed had a problem with plugging or unplugging a mic while phantom power was enabled and the Helix was on. TL;DR: Don’t plug or unplug things to the mic input with phantom power enabled when the Helix is on. Either turn off phantom power first or turn off Helix first. Also, afaik, this was fixed with a hardware revision on more recent units, along with a noise that was produced if you had phantom power going *in* to the XLR outputs.
Does the Helix work as a load box? I know the Revv amps don't need a speaker connected to operate, but if you were to use the JCM 800, you'd still need to connect to the speaker, wouldn't you? Update: just saw you mention load boxes.
Glad you saw that...yeah, you need an external load box...You have to be careful with that. No modeler will have the load necessary to support amps. But some load boxes are not that expensive and are well worth the investment if you have at least one tube amp and you like recording....
Help!!! So, I just bought a brand new Purple Helix from guitar center and it arrived this weekend. I tried to mess with it last night with headphones that I know work and I got absolutely no sound. I know I have signal because I tuned my guitar with it. But I just have my guitar plugged in and headphones. That's it. Any suggestions? I'm hoping I'm dumb and missed something and that the headphones jack isn't broken. Thanks!!!!!!
All the modellers are great at this point and quite honestly i doubt the tones will get much better in future ones. Pick the one that suits your application not the one that some youtuber told you is better. (in their opinion)
What seems to be improving are the size and features. You’re right. And as I said, in a mix, no one will know the difference. Always best to choose gear that suits your personal needs.
@@LonelyRocker yup. I reread my answer. I wasn't having a go....lol. I've been on the modeller merry go round and honestly they all sound good so the deciding factor is the one you will get along with.
I was actually agreeing with you. The growth in modelers has become a bit dangerous because some feel they always need the latest. I got my FM9 barely two months ago and already there will be a new one soon. It’s hard not to feel a bit left behind. But I will resist temptation! 😂
@@LonelyRocker - line6 hasn't left my me behind with the Helix in the last 8 years (well except when I finally had to give in and update my computer to win10/11 - that should tell you something @#*!). I still haven't close to reaching it's limits. I'm a little less complicated than most I guess.
Now that I have both I actually enjoy each of them for different reasons. I will make more videos about this but there is definitely a greater simplicity with the Helix but the FM9 is such a versatile device. They both sound great. But I will likely dive into comparisons soon here...stay tuned!
@@LonelyRocker It's usually acknowledged - even by many Helix advocates - that the quality of Fractal effects is superior and that it's easier to get better amp tones out of it, especially out of the box.

I own both a Helix Floor and an FM9, and as an overall package, I would give the nod to Helix. The only thing the FM9 really has on the Helix is the fidelity of amp modeling, but it is a subtle difference that you aren’t likely to notice unless you’ve used both extensively. It’s not night and day, but some of the finer subtleties of distortion texture and decay are a bit better on the FM9. For effects, I don’t know why people often say Fractal is superior in that regard.

Until you posted that update I bet you were about to get hammered with comments. I'm glad you worked it out. They say patience is a virtue right? Goodonya for thinking it through.
@@78tag The one thing I would like potential buyers to understand is just how much study is required to optimize modeler tones. You don't just push a button. There's a lot to know.
By why are you trying it out, you made your decision to use the Fractal FM9 exclusively only a couple of months ago. So what are you doing? Ohhh, I get it, with you being tied down to one modeller you can't grow your channel, it will stagnate to only fractal users, then contract and eventually die. So you have made a decision to try and keep yourself current by using other modellers to stop that from happening - very clever. Will it work? Probably not as more and more viewers catch on to what you are doing and releasing more and more FM9 videos. You can fool some of the users some of the time, but you can't fool all the user's (of different modellers) all of the time. Prepare to go niche!

@@LonelyRocker 🙂
I love the tone ya are getting. If/when i get my helix, would you come to TX and help me set up? lol
Ha!! That would be a fun trip! At the very least I should upload some presets to my Patreon :)

Thanks so much! And that was kind of an afterthought for this video. I could do a dedicated bass video for the Helix. That might be fun.

For good reason!
9 years is a very long time, so the question is, what will come next from Line6? BOSS GT1000 has also been updating firmwares and softwares.
Everyone wants to know! So far it’s been the HX One! But we want the big boy!!!!
You should be able to control some of the features on your Revv amp and a number of other products via MIDI with instant messages on the Helix.
You know I’ve never tried that. I should!
You could use the aux input with a mic with a 1/4 plug and run a second mic.

Careful with the mic input. Don’t turn it off with the phantom power still on. Learned it the hard way
