Multi-Effects Pedals

Helix Floor
​made by Line 6

This is multi-effect pedal is truly incredible. It includes nearly every effect imaginable (including a looper), 12 customizable footswitches, an expression pedal, a color LCD screen, an array of in/out jacks, and MUCH more. 

One reason why I chose this pedal is because it includes a dedicated microphone (XLR) input jack and preamp settings. This greatly streamlines my setup.

If you are just starting out with effects pedals, this is the pedal I would recommend to you!

A great feature for flutists is the built-in microphone/XLR input and built-in preamp.

This pedal includes effects such as distortion, delay, harmonization, octaves, strobe, flanger, radio, and others. It also has the ability to have user-created sounds. AND it's a loop station!
