what you actually bought
the one thing
It is a whole guitar rig in one box—amps, speakers, microphones and effects, all modeled. Whether it sounds right depends almost entirely on what you plug it into.
what it is
A full-size floor modeler with two DSP chips, two signal paths, and a mic input, four sends and returns, XLR and quarter-inch outputs, AES/EBU and S/PDIF, and a Variax port. It is the flagship of the original Helix generation. The other modelers in that generation are subsets of it.
check your modeler
If your modeler has a touchscreen, a Song button and a big volume knob on the left, you have a Helix Stadium, a different generation with a different manual. If it is a 3U rack with a guitar input on the front, read the Helix Rack guide instead.
check this first
If the footswitches seem to have stopped working, press FS6. The modeler is in Preset mode and you want Stomp mode.
