Did you pre-order the Helix Stadium?

YZF-5005 - when you need a two-wheeler with five strings in B standard.

I was actually just looking at the MT-07 this weekend. Actually, I had a '98 YZF-600R, so in a sense I was a Yamaha fan before most people here.

Yeah I've had a vmax for nearly 30 years now.

I’ve been playing for almost 30 years but I don’t sound like it….. I can sing reasonably and consequently my lazy side has allowed me to stagnate on both vocals and guitar. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it :) i held my own in a cover band for a while (I did backing vocals occasionally and was the only guitarist) which was great fun but if I was earning a living from it I’d have starved to death by now. For me, it’s for fun and not a race. If I’m better next year than I am this year whilst enjoying th journey that will absolutely do. If I play live again that would be great but if not, I’ll live. It’s my fun time and completely different to the day job (that funds the guitar habit).

I used to write and record a few songs but haven’t actually written anything since before Covid. A few of the things I wrote back then were kind of based on sounds that fell out of the guitar whist I was playing around and then attached to something on my mind. I’m hoping that a new effects box will kick my creative side up the arse and get me back there. We will see. Beyond that, I’m looking forward to teaching my daughter’s boyfriend the little bits of music theory I know before he goes zooming past me and teaches me stuff - he’s a nice guy and I enjoy playing guitar together with him. Being able to load a backing track into this thing and enjoying ourselves together is something I’m really looking forward to.


Thank you - I knew about the 3 amps / 7 channels thing but please accept my apology on the 1.1 / 1.2 confusion.


Why would you think this?

I owned Line 6 products many years ago (I had an original Pod Pro, a Bass Pod, a Pod XT and one of the original Variax). On the Yamaha side of things, I’ve owned a Pacifica (one of the best budget guitars you could imagine back in the day) plus another guitar lost to memory that I regret selling. All were rock solid.

These guys are literally holding up the launch so that they can fix as many teething issues as possible by having 1.1 ready when us first-batch folks get them. Will they have caught everything? No. It’s software. Will it be robust enough for 99% of us? I think it will. I am basing this on the fact they are *holding it up till it’s ready*. That, to me, says that the product team have a significant voice in this compared with the sales team who (I’m sure) would like them out in the wild as of yesterday.

Can you tell me more about why you’d ’put money on it having loads of teething problems’. I miss things all the time and I’d appreciate it if you could help me to understand your logic in coming to this conclusion.

He isn’t putting money on the possibility of issues u till better sorted out…he would just rather hold off. That’s understandable and should not be met with flak for his opinion.. agreeable or not to you

Yeah I really don’t get how some people, including a particular hot-tub lover, can say “it’s not going to be much different than Helix for at least a year…”.


And this is another insane take.

Like Line6 hasn’t proven itself over the past 10 years with Helix, Helix LT and all the launches of HX Stomp, HX Effects, HX Stomp XL, POD Go, etc.

You must have Line6 confused with NDSP.

Well as I said I bought the og line6 but didn’t care for it after like 40 days and returned… I know it’s had a ton of updates since but I just never revisited it … yet.
Like any new release there may be issues possible

I don't think you'll like anything. It has nothing to do with the units. It's got to do with the way your mind works.
