5 Problems the Line6 HELIX solves in 2024

Today I'm continuing my exploration of the Line6 Helix with a little commentary talking about five reasons I think Helix is still a viable and valuable option in the multi-effects and digital modeling conversation.
I'm admittedly new to Helix but have loved exploring all the effects and amps it boasts and tailoring presets to my personal tastes and needs. It's an endless playground and a convenient and increasingly approachable tool for studio and live use and one that I think is still a great choice in 2024.

I love that Line 6 has come from the original PODs to where they are now. I've used Spiders, I now have a Catalyst, and I still use a Pocket POD. Love them. Line 6 and IK with their AmpliTube and TONEX are killing it right now. I'm so OG I knew them back when they were Line 3 😛

[@AmbientEndeavors]

I grew up on POD 2.0 and there are still some compelling sounds on that one! Cool to see how far they’ve taken these platforms and sounds!

[@observatory3095]

Your playing was beautiful wow man cheers

[@AmbientEndeavors]

Aw thank you! Thanks for watchin ✌🏼

[@SethDStanley]

What a beautiful preset in that ambient section! One of my favorite parts of the Helix is the additive synthesis and unlimited routing and creative options for sound crafting. Any chance you can list that preset or any others you've made for sale? Would love to play around with those as you explore and build more!

[@AmbientEndeavors]

Thanks! Yeah, I'm feeling really excited about where this preset has come. It's on my list of to-dos to get a couple presets out into the world for you guys to check out!! Connect on IG and I'll make announcements over there when it comes time.

Thank you! 🙏🏼

I fully agree with your arguments , as I have been using Line 6 products since the red POD. Also, for those using a Line 6 Variax guitar in combination with a Helix ….

[@AmbientEndeavors]

The red bean is a classic! Still have a 2.0 around here somewhere :)

[@ryanreeves8931]

I found it pretty interesting that you put your drive after the amp on that second patch. I loved the first patch. I would love a video that shows the breakdown. It’s a great shoegazer patch. ❤

[@AmbientEndeavors]

Cool, thanks! Yeah, hoping to shoot a video with a little more behind-the-scenes exploration of the presets. Thanks!

[@AmbientEndeavors]

Also - I'll have to double check but I believe it's just reverb after the amp on both patches. I don't think I even used a drive in either, but almost always keep those before amp.
