Somebody invariably asks "what is the difference between the Helix Floor, LT and Rack units in terms of software" and the forum answer is always the same: "NONE"
But I'm looking at the manual and seeing differences in the number of effects between the Rack and regular Floor unit.
For example:
Line 6 Helix Floor: 12 Distortion Models, no legacy
Line 6 Helix Rack: 15 Distortion Models, no legacy
That's 3 more in the Rack. Why do people say "none"?!
Going further, trying to compare, there is confusion b/c they always lump in the advertisements the models WITH the effects
or just label the model/effects as "more than xxx".
So I check the manual and see that the HX model has:
Line 6 HX: 37 + 15 Legacy Distortion models. That's triple the Helix models (or double w/o legacy) for a LOT less money.
I get why there $$ diff for hardware, but the software differences are confusing to me.
I record, don't play live, and want just a pedal fx unit (to add to Kemper and amps) so is the Line 6 HX Effects the better model to get vs the Helix Floor or Rack models?
Also, is there a chart to compare various models and effects, one by one? Looked but haven't found one yet.
