Hello Line6 and dear community, many of us watched the livestream and saw the UFO they’re calling the Helix Stadium. It’s clear that, after 10 years, new hardware needs to be released. But I’m not here to talk about the new Helix — I want to talk about the current (or maybe now “old”) Helix Floor. I have a few questions that I hope Line6 will be able to answer. But first, I want to say that I love my Helix and consider the years of support a shining example of great product maintenance. Now for the questions: Will there be further updates? Will our beloved Helix continue to receive new effects and amps? For example, a slicer is still missing. Will earlier amps be brought up to the quality level of the later ones? If there is another update — will it be the final one, or can we expect further additions in the future? (Even if they come in longer intervals than before.) Will there be a VST plugin for Stadium? Will this plugin replace the current Helix VST, or is it going to be an entirely new offering? When can we expect support for the Helix Floor to be discontinued? Has this already been decided? Are you able to speak about it yet? Or is there currently no plan to end support? Lastly, I just want to say that I’ve always been satisfied with both my Helix Floor and my Pod Go. Thank you for many years of musical joy!

Hello, as a professional musician who seeks to capture any and all tones of a plethora of artists, the Helix products really help me archive my preset goals. Here's a list of a few things I would like to see in the next coming Helix updates. (as far as the Helix floor and Rack is considered.) Please feel free to add to this forum I'd be interested in hearing your suggestions for a future episode of the Pedal Head Show. #1: As a studio musician who uses their Helix as their main #1 recording interface I have had only few discrepancies with the helix disconnecting it self from time to time, I checked the sample rate, I checked my USB ports and I've learned to live with swapping output interfaces and power cycling on numerous occasions. I would like for my helix to stop disconnecting all together... A big request I know as everyone out there has different studio setups, different computers, Pc or Mac M1 chip or intercom Hada-hada.. I think we can all agree to have a stable high performance DSP interface that doesn't interrupt your work flow is crucially a must for all of us willing to spend money and time on our Line 6 Helix. So my first request would be to have a update that really helps this issue. #2: For those musicians who use the Line 6 Helix as their Gigging unit or Studio interface, you'll know that you can get great Audio quality from the mic input. This might be fine in a studio context since you can add any plugins to your vocals via your DAW. For us studio and gigging musicians you might find the mic parameters to be pretty limited. I think it would be great if the Helix Floor also had a huge list of vocal quality effects that you could use on the fly that could also depend on your guitar input. Here's a list A) A quality vocal pitch correction that you can set to chromatic, key or the key the guitar input is receiving. B) A vocal vowel sensing controlled talk box effect. C) A Vocoder effect to line with a synth block . D) A quality harmonizer that's matched better for vocals. E) A neve style preamp or channel strip F) Feedback limiter gate. Those effects aside, an easy route to access the control of the mic's input gain would be great as well #3 A guitar modulator that turns your solid body humbucker equipped guitar into a open coil Strat, that gives you full flexibility of different guitar tones without having to haul 6 guitars to a recording session, jam or gig. Humbuckers to single coil which position the block is receiving and converting to such as; Neck Humbucker >>> Neck or Middle and Neck single coils / Bridge Humbucker>>>Bridge or Middle and Bridge single coils. Solid body to hollow/semi hollow body Les Paul style to Tele Style Ect.... #4 A small request in full honesty I think this ways out the rest of these past suggestions for a future firmware update... and that is! (Drum Roll Please) A Distortion Block that's modelled after the Ibandez TS10. (hold for dramatic effect) Thanks for reading this forum, please add any suggestions you might have, I'd be interested in hearing the community's thoughts. Thankyou to the Line 6 team for all their amazing work on all their updates so far! Hopefully we see some of these effect blocks / updates in the future.
