The Line 6 Helix HXSTOMPII is an amp modeller and multi-effects processor in an ultra-compact, stompbox-sized pedal. It offers over 300 amps, cabs and effects. It uses the same HX Modelling technology as Line 6's flagship Helix guitar processor and can run up to six processing blocks at once.
The pedal has a color display and capacitive-sensing footswitches with color-coded LED rings that speed up editing. A TRS dual expression pedal/footswitch input adds more control. It can serve as a backup stompbox, a tone expander, an audio interface, or a complete guitar or bass rig.
Its effects library includes legacy effects from Line 6 M-Series pedals and from the DL4, MM4, FM4 and DM4 stompbox modellers. It also has bass-specific presets and individual bass amp and cab models. The free HX Edit app lets you customize the pedal's operation, create, save and load presets, manage a preset library and load third-party IRs.
