    Oh LAWD...

    No, Helix Floor isn't anywhere close to being discontinued. It's poised to remain our flagship processor for years to come. Helix LT is simply an addition to the product line—a more affordable version with the same engine and models, just no scribble strip LCDs, fewer ins and outs, and a less expensive chassis and treadle. Basically "okay, what hardware can we remove to get Helix down to $999 US without totally freaking everyone out?"

    We designed LT before Helix and Helix Rack were even announced. It's always been in the plan.

    Thanks for that.
    I would have been very surprised that a product was discontinued after 1/5 of the time it took to develop :)

    @robinbowes tell your retailer that they are very naughty boys.

    I have inside information from a major UK retailer - the Helix is being discontinued.

    I didn't see that coming. I wonder what Line6 plans are?

    I love these 'inside information' rumour posts where no source is disclosed. I read the replies for comedy value then dismiss the rumour as total bollocks.

    Not a troll or typo. Am passing on what I have been told by my friend who works for the retailer.

    This was all a ploy to see how fast it could get on TGP and wind up some nutters

    It was a bloodbath in the burrow. Police reports suggest that it was mostly Orinoco flow.

    I was so worried about this scare that I rushed out and bought 4 Helixes.
    Your mate wants locking up, causing a panic like that.

    Say what you like, but I've been on TGP for a bit now. The main difference?? There are musicians on TGP.
