Line 6

Line 6 helped bring digital amp and effects modelling to guitarists with the AxSys 212 modelling amplifier in 1996 and POD processor in 1998. The Helix family, introduced in 2015, extends that work into floor and compact modelling systems, while HX Effects brings a broad effects library to conventional amp and pedalboard rigs. JustPedals lists Helix Floor, Helix LT and POD Go alongside FBV controllers and expression pedals. The brand therefore covers complete amp-and-effects systems as well as rig-control accessories; compare the specific unit’s inputs, footswitch layout and routing.

Pedal Switchers

A pedal switcher routes effects through independently controlled loops so several pedals can be engaged, bypassed or reordered from one set of footswitches. Simple loop strips shorten the live signal path; programmable systems store combinations as presets and may send MIDI commands or change amplifier channels. Loop count, buffer placement, stereo support, spillover and routing flexibility define the system.

Presets

Stores complete groups of parameter values for later recall. The number of locations, switching time, spillover behaviour and whether presets include routing, expression and MIDI assignments determine how completely one sound can change into another.
