jaminjimlp Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Will there be a road case available at launch? Is there a way to pre-order it? I would like to have a nice case for it when I get it so maybe now would be a good time to find out about it. I saw a post before where someone said "this one should work" but I want one that is made specifically for the Helix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaminjimlp Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 I found this but its a soft padded bag I really would like a poly carbonate hard type or Gator type road case. http://store.line6.com/accessories/bags-covers/line-6-bag-compatible-with-the-pod-hd500.html since this fits the "POD HD500/POD XT & X3 LIVE" that are POD XT Live 20.25" 11" 3.25" 10.90lbs POD X3 LIVE 21.5" 10" 4.75" 8.40lbs Helix—22.05 x 11.85 x 3.6 inches; 14.6 lbs only 1/2" longer and 3/4" deeper than these others. the type case that is for the M20D I have is really nice and pretty tough I think it is poly carbonate http://store.line6.com/accessories/bags-covers/stagescape-m20d-shoulder-bag.html would be more that adequate. At one time I remember seeing a company that makes custom cases but don't remember the name ... if anybody knows some please post a link. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarleyUK Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Swann Flight are making a Helix-specific hard case. It'll be big enough for just the Helix itself, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Line 6 is going to be making a custom backpack style case for the Helix. As far as I know, it's not going to be available at launch, but sometime shortly after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trinitypc Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I ordered this Magma Riot XXL Backpack for mine. It's not cheap and is 4+ inches wider and 1 inch deeper (26.7" x 13" x 3.2" vs. the Helix: 22" x 11.85" x 3.6"), but it's well padded and has a lot of pockets and storage space to stow pretty much everything else I would need to bring to a gig. http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-MGM-MGA47881 I also picked up one of these compact luggage carts for it. The Magma back has a strap along the back that can act as a sling to help fasten the cart in place... http://www.ebags.com/product/samsonite/luggage-cart/217535 This is a video I found regarding the case... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owiwZu_8E20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymwest Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 GOOGLE CNB PDC-4100G TN FLIGHT CASE HEAVEY DUTY. I couldn't paste the link. this fits the helix I have the CNB PDC-410G SSL for my HD500, 5lbs less than the 4100. Room for exp pedal and midi fc. I would like to have 2 additional exp. pedals with the Helix unfortunately it is a little to narrow 29.5" and their next size is 39.5. Around 32" would be perfect. The 4100G loaded would approach the weight of a DT25. It's nice to pop the lid plug in and everything's connected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lance135 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 That's good to know. I guess I would be using the somewhat less-sophisticated way to protecting it by wrapping it in a towel and stuffing it in a duffle bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpirvined Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I think the diago Gigman PB02 just might fit the Helix, a wee bit tight on depth and Height, but might just squeeze it in. The Showman should definitely fit though.. http://www.diago.co.uk/pedalboards/diago-pedalboards.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstonetom Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 What about a Gator mixer case, 12" x 24"? It has rollers and a collapsible handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
