Download my JM Pedalboard Preset for the Helix: https://justinmuncy.etsy.com/listing/1881179275/helix-jm-pedalboard-preset
It’s 2025, and I finally took the plunge on a Line 6 Helix LT! While the Helix platform is nearly a decade old, its continued updates and the amazing sounds I’ve experienced from the HX One convinced me to give the Helix a shot. But was the budget-friendly LT model worth it compared to the flagship Helix Floor?
In this video, I’ll take you through my first day with the Helix LT:
• Unboxing and initial impressions
• Testing out some stock sounds
• Dialing in my very first preset and tones
• Taking the Helix LT to a live church gig to see how it holds up in a real-world setting
Is the Helix LT still a worthy option in 2025? How does it compare to modern modelers, and does the LT offer enough to make it worth saving over the flagship Helix Floor? Let’s find out together!
