Power to spare





Line 6 spearheaded the modeling revolution years ago. Now they step into the future with Helix Rack. Helix Rack's brain is Line 6's dual DSP HX modeling engine. Representing a giant leap forward in guitar technology, the HX engine reproduces every minute detail that goes into a great amplifier. Guitarists at Sweetwater know that feel is important to most players, and every single aspect has been taken into account, down to an amplifier's power supply ripple and tube sag, ensuring you receive an ultra-realistic playing feel and experience. The classic bloom and compression of some amps and the powerful punch of others are all faithfully accounted for. And you can also load custom impulse responses to personalize your tone.





Up and Running in No Time





Before Helix Rack, powerful amp and effects modeling often came with a significant learning curve. But even with a massive amount of routing, recording, and editing power under the hood, Helix Rack's workflow is incredibly easy to learn. And the large 6.2" LCD display rids the system of all the menu surfing while giving as much control as the deepest editing software. It's so intuitive to navigate that Line 6 claims you'll have 90% of Helix mastered with a five-minute glance at the full-color Helix quick start guide. And we're not just talking tone editing. The four stereo paths per preset allow for all sorts of routing setups. You can design your rig at the speed of thought.





Give Helix the Control





Already have a beloved guitar rig that you've spent years getting just right? Helix Rack also makes a robust controller for your rig. It allows you to easily create a hardware/software hybrid setup integrating your other pedals, your channel-switching tube amplifier, rack equipment, and even other instruments, offering you one of the most in-depth routing I/O on any guitar processor. And you do it all through Helix Rack's four stereo effects loops. You can send multiple wet and dry signals to different sources, place the loops in various locations in your signal chain, swap between your amp and modeled sounds, and so much more. You can even take control of your band's MIDI rig with up to six separate MIDI commands at patch recall.





A bevy of extras worship musicians will appreciate





The Line 6 Helix Rack is amazing on its own, but this House of Worship bundle includes a cache of extras that worship musicians will find extremely beneficial. For starters, you get downloadable patches for the most popular worship songs from Worshiptutorials.com ? your one-stop shop for learning worship songs, gaining pro leadership tips, and maximizing your musical skills.
