Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Helix Stadium XL Floor places Line 6’s Agoura modeling, 48 dynamic blocks and four stereo signal paths in a floor processor. The 8-inch touchscreen works beside 12 footswitches with individual OLED labels, and an onboard treadle provides hands-free volume, wah and pitch control. Its Matrix mixer handles separate output mixes; Showcase automation can synchronize preset and snapshot changes with MIDI, lighting, video, loopers and up to eight stereo audio tracks. Two instrument inputs, a mic input, four send/return loops and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth equip it for elaborate stage or studio routing.
