The Line 6 Helix Stadium is a next-generation amp modeler and multi-effects processor designed to push digital modeling to new heights. Built by Line 6, it features the revolutionary Agoura modeling technology, enhanced DSP power, and a high-resolution touchscreen interface for unmatched tone and workflow.
Built for both stage and studio, the Helix Stadium combines ultra-realistic amp modeling, advanced performance automation, and professional connectivity. Its compact pedalboard-ready design delivers the same processing power as the Helix Stadium XL in a lighter, more streamlined format.
Next-Generation Agoura Modeling
The Helix Stadium introduces Agoura, a new modeling methodology based on Sub-component Behavioral Modeling. This approach recreates not only individual components but also their interactions within the circuit, including power supply behavior, saturation characteristics, and dynamic response.
This results in:
- Ultra-realistic amp response
- Tube-like touch sensitivity
- Natural volume knob cleanup
- Authentic amp and cabinet interaction
The Helix Stadium includes:
- 16 Agoura guitar amp models
- 6 Agoura bass amp models
- Full Helix/HX preset compatibility
Hype Control for Mix-Ready Tones
The Hype knob lets you instantly transition from an accurate model to a polished, production-ready tone. With a simple adjustment, your sound becomes fuller, wider, and ready to sit perfectly in a mix.

- Automatic preset switching
- MIDI and lighting control
- Parameter automation
- Backing track playback
- Track splitting for playing within mixes
