Line 6, Inc. has introduced the Helix Stadium Family of amp and effects products, the company announced. The family includes 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 Backpack¹².

The two processors use what Line 6 calls the Agoura modeling methodology and run on the company's DSP. Both have high-resolution 8" touch screens, the ability to morph between what the company describes as ultra-authentic and idealized amp sounds with a single control, 8-channel audio interfaces, Matrix cue mixers and Showcase automation and playback engines¹². High-contrast OLED scribble strips are listed for the XL model only¹². Legacy Helix and HX presets can be loaded into the Helix Stadium processors¹². The Expand D10 adds VDI, L6 LINK and other connectivity¹².

U.S. advertised prices start at $1799.99 for the Helix Stadium Floor, $2199.99 for the Helix Stadium XL Floor, $219.99 for the Expand D10, $149.99 for the EX2 and $249.99 for the Helix Stadium Backpack¹². Line 6 directs customers outside the U.S. to local retailers for pricing¹². Reservations open June 25 online and in stores; the XL Floor is slated for Fall 2025 and the Floor for Winter 2025¹².

Klein said the units can serve as performance workstations for writing and learning songs, jamming or controlling a band's stage rig, and described them as fun to use¹². A listing for the Helix Stadium Floor on the independent multi-effects reference PedalPedia gives its circuit type as digital and its current draw as 2000mA; its width, depth, height and weight fields are shown as placeholders rather than figures³.
