How I Gig With The Line 6 Helix In 2021 (Demo)

I last used my Line 6 Helix Floor about a year ago. But with the gig scene looking like it's opening up again and with the recent 3.0 firmware update, I thought I'd get my Helix out again, dust it off and play with some of the new features and preset creation techniques.

In this video, I walk you through how I use the Line 6 Helix for my live gigs particularly when I am using in-ear monitors (IEMs). I like to create my patches by re-creating the circumstances that the Line 6 Helix will be used in when integrated into the PA system on a gig. That means, when I create my presets, I plug out of the Helix and into a mixer or audio interface and listen with the same IEMs I will be using live.

This way, I can expect the tones I get to be same on gig day as the day I program them. It has happened before where I created my presets at home on studio monitors only to be surprised when they sound completely different through my IEMs on the gig, leading to last minute panic tweaking.
