He's on my ignore list. Unbearable.
Did you pre-order the Helix Stadium?
- Thread starter LCW
- Start date
I just got off the phone with my MF rep. She is saying an 11/23 ship date. She said they had 3,500 in their first installment. She also bumped me up to two-day shipping for free.

Yea my guy said 11/18 ship date for an 11/23 delivery. I just shot him an email to see if he can upgrade my shipping since I did cancel my Sweetwater preorder after all

Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, but I'm hoping my rep was confusing the shipping and delivery dates.
Probably not worth it, but also maybe worth it? I'd probably spend more than $50 of time refreshing the package tracking page.

I’m in SoCal - MF is based out of here so I’m hoping their distribution location is local. I’m about an hour south of LA.
I also got a great deal on it so maybe tacking on $50 would be fine.
Not far, actually, from Agoura Road

While I'm fairly happy with my current board, wish I had the means to go into the Stadium early like I did with OG Helix. I was never really happy with the amps, but the overall user experience kept me within the HX family this whole time. The prospect of having improved amps that can hang with UA, the best amp models currently IMO, makes it really enticing. Looking forward to watch all the coming demos.

I’m pretty sure MF’s main warehouse is in Kansas… at least that’s where most of my orders come from.I’m in SoCal - MF is based out of here so I’m hoping their distribution location is local. I’m about an hour south of LA.

I have stopped by the Fender plant in Corona and have been by the original site in Fullerton. Pretty neat.
Suhr is right around the corner from my house.

I did the Fender factory tour in Corona when they still did them (before the pandemic) - it was pretty cool

That’s one feature I really liked about the Kemper Player.

Yeah it's easier. Honestly one reason I sold my FM9T is because I really don't want to carry anything more than an iPad, which fits in either the Helix backpack or my Gator GoPro bag. Well, I guess so does a laptop. But it's just more money traveling around with me.

Yes, I've never tried a triple, myself. My current bike is an inline 4 and before that I had a v twins and parallel twins. Apparently the xrs900 is an absolute blast to ride and great combo of pep/horsepower and light weight. Looks-wise, it's their "neo retro" spin on the MT-09. Basically the same bike dressed up differently. I would love to try a Triumph! That's where my heart is, looks-wise, with bikes, even though my current one is modern sport bike (Suzuki GXS S1000GT+).

Triples (at least Triumphs, anyway) are a fun, interesting beast. Definitely a different feel than either a Ducati V-Twin or any of the IL4’s. The XRS series looks awesome; definitely on my radar now too.
