Helix LT vs Helix Rack

[trugamer]

Sorry on the website it says Line 6 Helix LT and Helix Floor has 63 amp and 37 cabs, but on the page of Helix Rack it says the Floor and Rack have 93 amps and 65 cabs.

 

I was thinking of buying the LT because I read it is the same as the Rack but has maybe less processing power and less I/Os. My setup is very simple so I'd only need the power of the LT.

 

So is does the LT have the same amp/cab/mutlieffect features as the rack?

Processing power of Helix Floor / LT / Rack is the same. Same sounds, same blocks, same processor.  With every new release, new amps/cabs get added, so that may be the source of discrepancy. 

 

What LT has fewer of (as opposed to the Floor / Rack):

 

1) no physical scribble strips, instead it has virtual ones

2) fewer in/outs: fewer loops, no XLR input, etc.

3) does not have 10 stomp mode, you can only assign things to 8 buttons in stomp mode. 

 

Rack allows you to have 3 expression pedals at the same time.

 

I don't see the need to get the rack personally, go for the Floor...  It's all self-contained, no remote is needed, etc. 

 

If you use snapshots, and run your guitar, and maybe use a couple of loops, you'll be fine on any of the 3 pieces of hardware.  For example, I use my Floor and LT interchangeably.

The website has not been updated on the LT page.

 

Nothing to worry about, the LT has everything the Rack & Floor has regarding amps/effects. There are just some physical and functional differences, some already mentioned above.
