Did you pre-order the Helix Stadium?

[wharf rat]

Honestly that doesn't make sense. They had to get more than 46 units. Maybe 46 on his list but who knows overall.

When I asked my rep where I was in line, he said it depends on how many units he got. So it sounds like each rep gets an allocation.

I've cooled off and I can wait until December if need be. I just won't be buying much of anything from SW again though. I don't feel like the hassle of returning, refunding my card, etc etc

I was #46 on the list total. Confirmed by several reps. I was told they were releasing 25 on ~18 Nov, and then they had another ~400 the following week, but it could be after Thanksgiving into Dec.

Ultimately, timeline wasn’t what won me, though.

I got my unit for $1900 all in from MF with a similar timeline.

If I’m waiting until Dec anyways, I’d rather pay $500 less and have better financing options. That’s my 2 cents tho.

Hahaha sorry

-The sound isn't just heard it is felt. My LT has been amazing, but compared the Stadium XL it doesn't compete. It is amazing for what it is, but the response and articulate tones of the Stadium XL are next level

This is from that guy on Facebook that apparently got his shipped to him and he received it so basically he says his OG helix is not near the tones of the stadium in comparison

that’s what I get out of it what he wrote

@Digital Igloo - I know you are under the gun to get 1.1 bug free & finalized as well as hiding the last Easter egg in the Manual…

…but if you could drop us a progress update of any sort that would be cool. All interweb signs point to shipments possibly starting 11/14?!?

Hope things are going smoother than you expected.

I think I may switch to the regular stadium as my future plans are also to get the new fractal when it comes out or maybe the TMP so I’m not really in need of the expression pedal or scribble strips while they’re nice as well as the extra input and outputs Since I’m a home player it seems like those may be overkill for my needs

 

[timbuck3]

By the votes it seems the stadium isn’t as popular to buy as the xl or fractal

I don’t use an expression pedal much. Mainly because of lack of skill lol. But I know I won’t get better if I don’t have one integrated. So now it’ll encourage me to try to improve wah usage and plus have the advantage id using it as a volume pedal, boost, or just play with changing parameters on the fly.

I can see that. I think the stadium will have that view function that will tell you what effect is on which switch??? I for get what the term is but it has view in it

We're close. Shot an update video on Thursday that's supposed to drop next Tuesday, where I was asked to make the dates very conservative.

They never do. Vacation can't come soon enough.

I feel your pain brother. Hang in there.

Giving birth is typically never easy. But it’ll all be worth it!

If the update video drops Tuesday , will we see the YouTubers allowed to release stuff like Jon from Sonic Drive
Serlacchi , Leon Todd ( hopefully ) early next week as well

Can’t wait. Need some longer high quality walk throughs.

Also really would love to have access to the Manual while we wait for ours to arrive so I can start internalizing the workflows and such. It’s been a long time since I’ve had my LT.

The nice thing about musicians, friends coupons if you get them regularly as you’ll get more in the future like I’m sure around Christmas and Black Friday and probably next year as well. I mean they send those out like all the time to me so really there’s no rush to get this unit. A lot of people want to be first, but it’s not really gonna have a ton of stuff yet for at least a year I bet.

New theory: TimBuck3 IS Cliff.

I mean, have you ever seen them in the same room together?

(Not that Cliff, who I understand is a good guy, would intentionally try to dampen sales for a friendly competitor.)

Come on dude. What do you mean it’s not gonna have a ton of stuff. It’s going to have everything the OG Helix has plus a LoT more at LAUNCh!

Hype knob
Focus mode
New Agoura amps
Touchscreen and whole new way to interact
Preset auditon
Wireless updating
Updated/better components
Upgraded sound quality (mic pres and headphone outs)
Etc.

Off the top of my head. I’m sure @Digital Igloo has a copy/paste note somewhere of the differences.

But just because showcase and proxy aren’t ready - doesn’t mean it’s not worth the upgrade for many.

lol. Or we are getting close to shipping so he’s increasing his rationalization to cancel his preorder like everyone here predicted.

Plus I don’t know if it will be their regular pace of updates but 1.2 is already going to have 3 new Agoura amps , so if they have a couple of Agoura amps every quarter that list is going to expand quickly
