October 1, 2025 · 2 sources

Line 6 announced the Helix Stadium family of amp and effects processors, a flagship multi-effects line, at about the same time as Valeton's GP-5 became available, according to a Sound On Sound review of the GP-5¹.

The family comprises the Helix Stadium XL Floor and Helix Stadium Floor processors, the Expand D10 digital I/O expansion unit, the EX2 expression pedal/toe switch, and the Helix Stadium Backpack, per a PedalPedia listing². It gives the Helix Stadium Floor a digital circuit type and a current draw of 2000mA; its width, depth, height and weight fields are shown as placeholders rather than figures².

Sound On Sound's John Walden wrote that the GP-5 "can't compete directly with that sort of multi-thousand-pound dollar flagship unit," and said the magazine would review the Helix Stadium when it was available¹. No price or ship date for the Helix Stadium appears in these sources.
