Helix LT "lite" (that would be LT LT?): who's in?

[Whizzinby]

Line 6 at the thought of another device and price point opportunity for Helix algo’s…

 

[MindCrime]

I have a Helix LT and an HX Stomp so...nah, I'm good.

Which price point am I missing? It seems like they hit them all already.

The made-up Goldilocks Zone where you get everything you want for $700.

Give me a controller the size of a Paint Audio MIDI Captain and a "Brain Box" the size of a TC BAM200 to be placed any fucking where you want. Tablet/phone screen as editor, or Helix sized screen on the top of the Brain Box. I want to be done buying integrated all-in-one processors.

The lite one I want would be a Mooer mini sized pedal with all of Helix's DSP with MIDI in, SPDIF I/O, and you pre program it from the computer.

 

[Digital Igloo]

No expression pedal and cut both pairs of pre-dedicated buttons off each side.

Hey now. Relying on a touchscreen for every engage-type function sucks. Functions used all the time really want dedicated hardware buttons, especially in the heat of a gig. At the very least you need HOME/EXIT and SAVE.

EDIT: Never mind, you mean footswitches, not buttons, yes?

I don’t think you can beat the form factor of the POD GO.

Love the size of the Effects overall although it could be a touch smaller. If they could fit an entire Helix DSP in that box along with amp modeling I’d sell off my other Helix gear.

HX Effects is pretty much the form factor I'm looking for.

I don’t think you can beat the form factor of the POD GO.

Yeah, I like that form factor as well for casual playing and traveling.

Really wish it had some way to received audio via aux-in or bluetooth. That and a longer looper (and perhaps two part looper) would make it perfect.

Heck, could be a portable monitor as well

Yep squish it down juuuuuuuuust a bit

 

[ballhawk]

I want it postage stamp size but controlled entirely with this

The bean is where it’s at.

The $99 tablet I already use for setlists/IEM mixing would be cheaper

 

[dronerstone]

I'd buy, if my Floor ever took a shit and died (or got stolen).

 

[JCW308]

Oh you mean the HX Stomp XL.

 

[molul]

Oh you mean the HX Stomp XL.

?

As a former RP355 player I gagged at the Floor’s giant form factor when it was first announced. But a year or two into owning one, my gigging situation evolved to the point where I had to grudgingly acknowledge that L6 pretty much nailed it from the get-go. That being said, if they figured out a way to keep all the same features (including all the footswitches, scribble strips and EP) and road-worthiness but knock 5-7 lbs off the weight I would probably upgrade.
