If you’re as excited about the Line 6 Helix Stadium as we are, you’ll be pleased to know you can now hear it in action
As we continue to edge closer to the release of Line 6’s incredibly hyped-up Helix Stadium amp modellers, the brand has released some more content revealing what they sound like, and what they’re capable of.
The new Stadium line was announced in early June, promising the “most powerful and most flexible” Helix yet. The range includes the flagship Helix Stadium XL Floor and a streamlined version, both of which will be arriving this year in autumn/winter.

Not only will these new additions bring highly-anticipated upgrades, including new cloning capabilities and high-resolution touch screens, but they also introduce an entirely new modelling methodology called Agoura.
Agoura replaces Helix’s former HX modelling tech for improved authenticity when modelling physical amps, as well as offering increased accuracy when it comes to how amps respond to you. And, until now, we’ve not really heard how these new floorboard modellers actually sound.
As we grow closer to the drop, Line 6 has been releasing a number of tour videos on its Youtube channel. In a new sound sample video, you can hear its Marshall-inspired ‘Brit Plexi’ amp, which is played through a ‘jumped’ channel and hooked up to two virtual 4×12 Greenback30 cabs and runs through an LA2A Studio Comp, a delay pedal, and a Dynamic Plate reverb – all of which are displayed on its new, snazzy screen.
Hear it below:
Other recent demos include a tour of its search field to show you how to locate models, presets, and more, plus two wider tours on both the touch screen – in this one, you can hear a little bit more of the Brit Plexi in play via the background music – and the range of Agoura models available at launch.
To view more details about the Helix Stadium amp modellers, head over to Line 6.
