Helix Stadium XL

Agoura is a new modelling approach for the Stadium family, and launch firmware added 22 Agoura amps for guitar and bass. Up to 48 processing blocks can run at once, depending on DSP load.

Twelve OLED scribble strips label the footswitches, and the treadle includes a toe switch. Focus View shows contextual parameters on screen, while the Showcase engine handles playback and automation. Presets are organised in setlists, songs and banks, with a stopwatch and clock for timing a set.

Compared with the smaller Helix Stadium Floor, the XL doubles the instrument inputs, effects loops, expression inputs, amp control outputs and drum trigger inputs. A Nexus port connects the optional Expand D10 interface. Storage uses a removable microSD card.
