Just select the tracks you’ve recorded and mute the tracks you want to play yourself. But that’s not all...

In a perfect world, you’d want to play live without having to use a single footswitch, but now you can assign your favorite tones and recordings to specific sections of your tracks to play with complete freedom.

Agoura—Responsiveness Taken to the Next Level

Agoura is Line 6’s new modeling methodology, setting a new standard for authentic amp tone and responsiveness. Agoura allows you to sample amps and pedals, adding nuances to make your recordings feel “more real” than ever before. Model circuit feedback and capture the dynamics of your playing volume for added emphasis. Agoura captures the detailed behavior of your gear at new levels; it’s as if your gear is literally “talking back” to the Helix Stadium to achieve the most accurate, lifelike recording ever.

Learning as You Go

Instead of having to navigate confusing menus, the UI provides tutorials so you learn more the more you use it. You can dive in and see just how much depth Line 6 has put into creating one of the most intuitive guitar products, one that showcases what’s now possible in guitar technology—no more manuals!

Showcase

Many bands these days work with click tracks and backing tracks. A click track is a very powerful tool for keeping your songs tight and preparing your show in a more structured way. Backing tracks give your songs a whole new dimension. Adding just that piano line, or having that synth lay down a nice chord in the background while the band plays the essential parts, can elevate an amateur band to nearly professional level.

The Helix Stadium’s Showcase mode makes this very accessible, replacing the often-unreliable laptop with an interface. You load your multitracks via the desktop editor, and when you turn on the Helix Stadium, it automatically loads the track. Mix the tracks to your liking, and assign which tracks should come out of which outputs. This way, you can easily route the backing tracks through the XLRs, while sending the talkback and click signals from output 3 to the monitors and in-ears.

Using flags, you can then trigger your presets, snapshots, and MIDI signals at specific moments in the song. So your Helix Stadium will automatically switch to, say, a lead sound when it’s time to play the solo. It’s even possible to control the light show this way.

So for anyone who enjoys programming this, you can pre-program your entire performance—backing tracks, clicks, talkback, snapshots, MIDI, and lighting—and just go for it. You simply press play and don’t have to worry about a thing afterward. Pure performance.

Continuous Updates

Line 6 is now changing the way its equipment is updated and offers continuous updates to keep fueling your creativity. You can even set the Helix Stage to update wirelessly, so you have more time to play.
