Your instrument input, with a switchable pad and selectable impedance.

Worth knowing
This is the only instrument input. The Floor adds AUX IN and MIC IN. The LT has neither, so its input block list is shorter.
audio path

Facts about the audio path

The engine is identical to the Helix Floor

Two paths, 32 block locations, eight snapshots, the same 440 models and the same DSP rules. Everything about Helix tone applies to an LT.

Helix 3.80 Owner's Manual

No mic in, no aux in

The Floor can be a whole one-person rig with a vocal mic. The LT is a guitar rig. If you plan to sing through it, buy the Floor.
