The difference between the line 6 helix hx stomp and the hx multi effects is that the stomp has got amp and cab modelling which means you plug it directly into an interface or pa system and get great guitar amp sounds.

The rack version makes sense if you already have other rack gear or if you re gigging regualrly and extremely worried about it getting beer soaked.
It has 300 effects and amp and cab models to give you a rig in a tiny pedal format.
