This Line 6 Helix Floor has been used onstage with Ed Sheeran – and it’s listed on Reverb for a totally reasonable price
Reverb is a great place to find unusual gear gems, and occasionally, you might just come across something that’s been used on stage with a huge celeb.
Right now, one seller has listed their used Line 6 Helix Floor, and says it’s been used on stage with Ed Sheeran, of all people. The seller, based in London, has owned the Helix Floor since 2019, and says it has been used on tour with not only Ed Sheeran, but also R&B singer Jorja Smith.

They say it is in great condition minus one small screw missing from the IEC power socket, but the unit itself works perfectly fine. They’re also including an original Helix backpack case for transport. The seller doesn’t have much information on their profile, but has provided a YouTube link of them using it for a performance of Bad Habits with Sheeran in 2021 (though it is difficult to see the unit in shot).

They also say it was used for a recorded performance of Smith’s Falling or Flying on Later… With Jools Holland, and one of the provided pictures shows the unit displaying “She Feels” on its screen, the title of a Jorja Smith song. Most gear used alongside well-known artists is often sold at higher prices, but this Helix Floor is listed at £660. Most brand-new Helix Floors still sell for around £999.
The Helix Floor first launched back in 2015, and has undergone several updates over the years that have expanded its offerings of amps, cabs, mics, and effects. The Helix utilises Line 6’s HX modelling engine, and captures the sonic nuance and dynamic response of vintage and modern gear.
Line 6 has recently upped the ante for its offering of floorboard modellers with its new Helix Stadium line. At its huge announcement last year, the company teased the pair of new modellers, with the flagship Helix Stadium XL Floor earning an earlier release and shipping out at the end of 2025. Now, the standard Helix Stadium Floor has just begun shipping.
While the XL model offers the most “comprehensive and integrated guitar processor ever created by Line 6”, according to the brand, the smaller Helix Stadium Floor offers a cheaper, more streamlined alternative. It scraps the built-in expression pedal, and halves the amount of effects loops, external expression pedals, and drum trigger inputs it can support to just two each.
To check out the Line 6 Helix used on stage with Ed Sheeran and Jorja Smith, head to Reverb.
