HX Stomp vs Helix LT noob question

Recommended Posts

Hello

I want to know

Can I with the Hx stomp do exactly the same as the Helix LT?

The same split system ?

Using the same number of blocks?

Split into 4 lines?

Do i have the same amps, cabs, fx etc...

 

Is there something missing in the HX stomp compare with the helix (behalve the variax input)?

 

tx

The answer is no, yes (if I interpret the question correctly), no, no, and yes.

 

The Helix LT has more I/O, DSP, more blocks, more paths, more presets (storage), more snapshots per preset, but all of the same effects, amps, etc.

 

A really helpful place to see the differences between them is in Line6's own comparison chart.

I have both (though I wish I had the floor, not the LT).  The only reason that I have the HX Stomp is that it is more portable and can be battery operated.  For example, I can bring it onstage for an Open Mic (easily).  I can put it in a suitcase if travelling (noting I carry a travel guitar in those cases).  I can bring it into a small practice room where the Helix LT may just seem to big.

It's half an LT, with additional limitations. The tones are the same... but you cannot get as much out of a single preset.

The split blocks are the same, but you don't have the same number of paths.

No. The LT has up to 32 blocks, the Stomp has 8.

Nope.... You get one parallel split... ie: 2 lines.

For the most part... YES.  Off the top of my head I can't think of any exceptions, but there could be.
