Helix Stadium Floor

Agoura is the modelling approach behind the Stadium family, and the Floor launched with the same 22 Agoura amps for guitar and bass. Up to 48 blocks run across four stereo paths, depending on DSP load. Presets from earlier Helix and HX units can be loaded.

The twelve footswitches have coloured rings but no OLED scribble strips, so switch labels appear on the touchscreen instead. There is also no built-in expression pedal. Up to two external pedals can be added, such as the Line 6 EX2 with toe switch.

Compared with the XL, the Floor halves the instrument inputs, effects loops, expression inputs, amp control outputs and drum trigger inputs. Its top and sides are cast aluminium rather than extruded. Focus View, the Showcase automation engine, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth control are common to both.
