We introduced the world’s first digital modeling amp, the AxSys 212, in 1996. We were behind the groundbreaking POD^® multi-effect that launched in 1998, revolutionizing the industry with an easy way to record guitar that had great tone. Our Variax^® guitars can do more than any other instrument in history, and we’ve led the analog-to-digital transition for guitar wireless with our Relay^® products.

We haven't stopped, either. In 2015 Line 6 introduced the Helix^® family, our new flagship guitar processor. Helix represents a major leap forward in guitar processing, as well as a new way of thinking about guitarists and their relationship to technology.

In 2014 Line 6 became a part of the Yamaha family, creating a network of global collaboration which, in 2017, led to the creation of the first-ever Guitar Division within Yamaha. This culminated in the formation of Yamaha Guitar Group, Inc. in 2018.
