About this product
Overview & specifications
Line 6 Helix Stadium XL Amp Modeler & FX Processor
The Helix Stadium XL isn't just an upgrade — it's a complete reimagining of what a floor-based processor can do. Built around Line 6's revolutionary Agoura modelling engine, this powerhouse delivers amp and effect emulations with a level of accuracy and feel that has to be played to be believed. Whether you're gigging, recording, or building the ultimate pedalboard, the Stadium XL is ready to be the only piece of gear you'll ever need on stage.
Agoura Modelling: Feel the Difference
Line 6's Agoura technology goes beyond standard component-level modelling. It replicates how individual components interact with each other — from power supply behaviour to the capacitance between wire runs inside the chassis. The result? 18 guitar amp models and 6 bass amp models that don't just sound like the real thing — they respond like the real thing. Roll back your volume knob, dig into the strings, ride the dynamics. It's all there.
Hype: From Authentic to Album-Ready
Ever dialled in a perfect amp tone only to find it doesn't sit right in a mix? The Hype control bridges the gap between raw, true-to-life amp emulation and the polished, produced tones you hear on records. One knob takes you from component-accurate realism to sweetened, mix-ready perfection.
Proxy Cloning: Capture Any Amp or Pedal
With the cloud-based Proxy engine, you can clone the sound of your own amplifiers, cabinets, preamps, and dirt pedals. Send the training data to Line 6's servers, and Proxy delivers stunningly accurate captures that go well beyond what onboard processing alone can achieve — and the technology keeps improving with every update.
Showcase: Automate Your Entire Show
Showcase is a game-changer for live performance. Load tracks, split stems, jam along — or go further and automate preset changes, lighting cues, MIDI commands, video triggers, and more using timed flags. Running a cover band? Pull up a track, mute the guitar stem, and play with the mix instead of over it. Playing a more improvised set? Trigger flags manually via footswitch for full flexibility.
8-Inch Touchscreen & Focus View
The high-resolution 8-inch touchscreen makes navigating presets, swapping effects blocks, and tweaking parameters fast and intuitive. Focus View delivers context-based editing with a graphic interface that mirrors the feel of tweaking a real amp's controls — complete with five customisable touch zones you can swipe to morph. Need a specific amp or effect? Just type its name into the search function.
Built for the Stage
Despite all that power under the hood, the Helix Stadium XL is 25% smaller and 21% lighter than the original Helix Floor. Twelve footswitches with bright OLED scribble strips, an integrated expression pedal with toe switch, two instrument inputs, four FX loops, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and full backward compatibility with your existing Helix/HX presets. Plug into your DAW via USB and it doubles as an 8-channel audio interface, too.
