Thank you for the comparison. I have the HX Effects together with a tube amp. I was considering the Helix LT and didn't actually notice it didn't have the scribble strips compared to the Helix Floor and I love that with my HX Effects.
Awesome video, bro! I appreciate it. It covered all my concerns about them both. Thanks.
Love video! Thank you.
At 1:55 the LT actually does have AES/EBU digital xlr output. I think some high end mixers and computer audio interfaces have AES/EBU, but definitely not that useful. Most people will have no problem using the usb in the LT, but I wish to get the floor soon. I’m upgrading from the HX.
Super video thanks 👍 as long as the Tone quality and the processor are the same, I'll go for the LT.
Nice comparison. I bought the HX Stomp last year. Then very quickly traded it in for a Stomp XL.... And now another few months later, I've decided I want the LT. Doesn't sound like I need those extra free features from the Floor. Especially for an extra £400.
scribble strips are also a source of light! I've had a few times where the stage went completely dark, the scribbles saved me.
Great explanation thank you so much for the information. I think the Floor looks much better but thats not really enough argument to get that one right? i doubt i need all the extra stuff that floor has so i guess LT would be a better choice for me.
Thank you! This is super useful!
Great video, very informative.
Super helpful video. I'm going back and forth deciding which one I want to get. I'm just a living room guitar player but want something that could be helpful without using just my computer DSP profiles. Thanks for the video!
LT will work just fine!
This is an EXCELLENT review comparison. Thank you tons. I personally just can’t get away from how I feel I would use those scribble scripts and things would just be less nerve-racking and easier for me. I came here wanting to buy the LT but I think for the money I’m going the other way! Thank you!
Glad I could be of help!
Thanks for this video. I am a guitarists and I didn’t know which one would be better for what I do for church. Thanks!
The LT can do the same as the Floor it just has less I/Os and not as fancy looking. It's the best bang for your $$ though. Middle of the road. Not too cheap and limited and like a HX Stomp or PodGo and not all out mega nax high end like the Floor.
What about audio interface ? Do the both have this option ?
Any after market expression pedal replacement available for LT?
Does this effects pedalboard have the tones sounds of Cello, Orchestra, Strings, Flute, Clarinet and Choir Praise music? Looking for something to create Praise & Worship music.
Correction.
LT has digital output with AES/EBU
Good work
I'm buying a Floor as my ADHD brain NEEDS the scribble strips (seeing as they exist :-D And the mic pre is also nice
I recently purchased the Helix LT, If one doesn't care about or need the extra inputs or the headphone volume knob, then why pay more for something you will never use? Although the volume pedal is a bit chimsey on the LT compared to the Floor model, unless you are going to jump on it like an animal, it is fine. Everything else seems to be the same as the floor unit.
100% agree.
But we are animals
@@saigonproducer 😂😂😂👍
whats is chimsey?
@@MelissaEvila Like flimsy
I still use my original POD 2.0 😏 very nice video, I am sure a LT would be an upgrade. 😎🤘
Uh YEAH big time
Quick question helix floor or headrush prime?
A real quick simple way is, if you make your money by Playing live shows. I would strongly recommend getting the floor. Also as stated in the video if you incorporate a lot of your own pedals The floor version is perfect. However if you’re like me and you spend most of your time in front of a computer recording at home, well more than I would ever play live. The LT is perfect. In addition I took the extra money and purchased a VST, which is a game changer. At home I can run basically as many helixes as I want or as my computer and handle, on the same source signal
I've been the computer musician for most of my 'creative life', but with the two bands I play in, we're now starting to look at doing our first shows in the city.
I'm looking at getting the LT mostly with the perspective you mentioned. I'm curious why you said you'd 'strongly' recommend the big helix over the lt for (semi/pro) live musicians? I'm not too familiar with gigging, is it mostly compatibility and features (in- and outputs) thatll make it easier for front of house technicians?
@wavewithus4081 Yo man! Honestly, I’ve done a lot of live gigging in multiple different genres and I’ve only ever needed to use a couple outputs on the Floor model. The main L/R XLR outputs, the 1/4 mono output for an external monitor for stage noise, and then the L/R send to a recording device for recording my live signal for social media purposes. I like to have a recorded signal just in case I wanted to layer it over some recorded video footage of the show to post.
The LT is perfect if you’re just starting out with playing live music. It’s lighter and slightly more compact.
@@joeycobra ayye appreciate the reply! Based on what I've seen and similar reviews like yours and comments like the OP I responded to, I'm starting to feel like the LT would be the perfect choice. Thanks!
I've been looking into these for a while. I'm thinking about getting an HX stomp and attaching it to a quality DI, or getting the real deal with the full blown helix.
LT = best bang 4 for your buck with hardly any compromises. If youre a touring pro and have extra cash laying around. then yeah get the full Floor. For non pros and hobbyists who don't need a dedicated mic input then the LT is all you'll ever need. Use that 500 bucks for your next guutar / pedal or FOOD/gas ;)
I just upgraded from a Pod Go to a Helix LT and truth be told, I already miss the foot pedal on the Pod Go. Helix is new to me so hopefully I will learn to enjoy the LT and not go back to the Pod Go.
Why? The podgo had a chesper pedal than the LT and cheaper still than the floor.
As a performer only, who requires stereo to both front of house and to a pair of Line 6 Powercab plus, can the Helix Lt route non cabinet block to the pair of Powercab plus while routing cab block to front of house?
Yes
How are headphones controlled on the LT? I will definitely be using headphones so is it more comborsom using headphones with the LT?
Main volume controlls both the phones vol and the patch volume dependently not separately like on the floor. Not a game changer for most
Ótimo vídeo!
Hey man, I also play at a church. I use a lot of expression pedal. Would the LT be ok to use since it’s supposedly not as heavy duty as the floor model.
Also are the scribble strips overrated?
The scribble strips are a MUST for me. It's the main reason I went with the Floor over the LT. I don't regret it at all. The ability to see what each button is and to customize it is worth the extra money for me. The sturdier and better built pedal is certainly worth the extra money as well. But that's a personal opinion of course.
Hey man, if you’re looking for a “set it and forget it” type of setup with the foot switches, I’d go with LT if you’re trying to save some money. The LT is fine if you’re good at somewhat memorizing what each footswitch does in your signal chain. The scribble strips really solve that problem.
The expression pedal was one of the biggest differences for me between the Floor and the LT. If you’re planning on using a ton of expression movements in your playing, I’d go with the Floor which has the more durable expression pedal.
@@joeycobra awesome. Yea I don’t think I’d need scribble strips since you can still color coat the switches. I would always have them in a certain order so I think the memorization would be fine.
Thank you for your help!
@@seanentrikin9263 yea the scribble strips wouldn’t be much help (I don’t think), but the sturdier expression pedal may be the make or break for me.
I’m a skinny dude and think I’d be pretty easy on it but who knows..
It's fine. AND line 6 will repair if it does break. The early models had some issues but they fixed that several yrs ago. Check the mfg date if you buy used.
can you connect a pedal that has midi features to the HELIX to turn that pedal on and off?
Yes!
Year
Is the DSP on the LT the same as the floor? I’m using the POD Go at my church & love it but want to have more effects options & a dual amp set up instead of one. Having the pedal view you mentioned sounds like my POD Go but bubbles so that transition will work for me. Just the DSP I’m more curious on.
Yo Roger! Yes the DSP on the LT is the same as the floor. The LT would be an easy upgrade for you.
I didn't know there were scribble strips on the expression pedal XD
Should have gotten the Helix Floor, but oh well. I can do it next month...
To answer your last question, Quad Cortex is best. :)
bro i want to join your church 😅
also, as flimsy as the LT's exp pedal seems, it's actually built better... the Floor's pedal is an overengineered mess---have had issues with it already.
what do u mean Floor's pedal is a mess? and how do u know the LT is built better?
@@owkelahkalobegitu 1. Floor's pedal operates on one hinge and gets crooked, squeaks. 2. LT operates on 2 hinges and operates smoother, doesn't get crooked. 3. I own both
@@ericajohnson7535 i c. Im considering getting the LT soon. Can u use LT for recording guitar tracks and in your opinion is it as good as they say? Thanks
@@owkelahkalobegitu recorded a lot of tracks with it. Yes it’s awesome. The weak point is the buttons-micro switches need to be cleaned out time to time. Visit the line 6 forum btw.
The early ones had an issue but the fixed that yrs ago and stand by fixing it if yours is bad.
My worship leader Allowed me 😂😂😂
