The next Helix in the family
From a highly successful product family — where you might think there was no room for more — the Stadium XL Floor has now claimed its place. It is their most advanced modeling unit to date, aimed at professional musicians, live bands, and setups where control, flexibility, and sound quality are essential.
If you’re looking for an all-in-one rig platform for stage or studio, this is the best you can get.
New features
The brand-new Agoura amp modeling methodology sets a new standard for authentic amp tone and response.
“Hype” control on every Agoura model allows you to morph between ultra-authentic and idealized amp sound.
Proxy cloud-based cloning engine for amps, cabinets, and effects.
Compatibility with previous Helix/HX presets.
I/O & Control
The XL version includes, among other things:
- 2 variable impedance instrument inputs (126+ dB)
- XLR mic preamp (128 dB)
- S/PDIF in/out
XL supports up to:
- 4 effects loops
- 4 external expression pedals
- 4 amp-control outputs
- 4 drum trigger inputs
It also features the Nexus™ port for accessories such as Expand D10 and future expansions
Interface and workflow
Large high-resolution 8” touchscreen for intuitive navigation and editing.
“Focus View” function provides contextual parameter control for the selected model or effect.
“Preset Audition” with audio clips and information — so you can hear and see before you use.
New signal-path icons and advanced graphical chain visualization.
Timeline engine for synchronizing sound and effects with songs.
XL means more of everything
If you’re looking for the ultimate multi-effects processor, XL is clearly the way to go.
Helix Stadium XL Floor is the most complete and flexible version in the Stadium series. It offers twice as many connections and control options as the standard version, including 4 effects loops, 4 expression inputs, 4 amp-control outputs, and 4 trigger inputs.
This means XL can better handle large setups, external pedals, MIDI configurations, and advanced rigs.
XL also features 2 instrument inputs instead of 1, a more powerful analog section, and a built-in expression pedal that saves space and improves live control. The 12 OLED scribble strips make it significantly easier to see functions and effects on stage — a major advantage for live use.
In short: the XL version is the best choice for musicians who want maximum flexibility, better stage overview, and a future-proof platform with room for advanced setups and upcoming expansions.
However, if it’s not quite within your budget, the upcoming Stadium Floor is the best alternative without compromising the most important new features.
