Helix 3.7: The Freeman Update

[holoholo]

Guessing it’s something like their DL-4 mk2

 

[Digital Igloo]

Let the speculations begin!

Uber looper.

Nope. It’s a fairly obvious box for us to make, with a really fun twist that will have a lot of people asking “when is [that really fun twist] coming to Helix?!”

Will preface those comments with “it might not.”

Amp captures, huh?

EDIT: Mere speculation.

Next up is a new box (not any replacement for Helix/HX), then new POD Go firmware, then 3.70. Gonna be a busy couple of months.

Awwwwwww. I was hoping it would be something rhyming with Belix Mini.

 

[James Freeman]

"fun twist"... as in twist of events?
"it might not"... but it can?

New POD Bean confirmed!

At first I was thinking maybe it's another reissue of one of the 4 series pedals, but I think only the DL4 has had any kind of real following.

Successor for the M5/M9 as a cheaper, smaller than HX FX box?

They've gotten so sick of you pestering them they've made a tiny Line 6 handwired, analog, point to point JCM800 attached to a giant bright cap. It's just big enough to write "STFUJames"

With knobs?

Sliders.

Finally!

I'm gonna go with some sort of small power amp for helix devices and the 'twist' is that they've got some power amp modelling in there which is the part everyone will want in helix to mix and match with the pre amps.

Fair point!

 

[Jarick]

I will say their take on an Ox Box that has integrated effects and maybe room modeling?

I just noticed this means 3.70 is coming within a couple of months :-)

Finally!

That was my main drive pedal the 1 time I played in front of 15k+ people.

I like this guess. Especially since they now have all those thousands of IRs they shot for the new Helix cabs. Boss, Fractal, UA all have their own loadboxes. Seems like a hole that Line 6 could fill in their own product line, maybe.

Line6 loves to make "me too" products, dont they?
