Did you pre-order the Helix Stadium?

[ChordInversion]

Looking like I will have made a job decision by the end of this week. Presuming the best, the smaller Stadium will be ordered promptly.

Same thing here. I decided to call and they said it would probably go out tomorrow. They said they have a huge amount that they're going to try to send out in the next few days. That's all I could find out for now.

My recent experience with MF is that it's like shaking a Magic 8-Ball. Call again and talk to a different rep and you'll get a different answer. We'll all know when they end up on our doorsteps, or don't.

Booyahhhhh!!!!
Pre-ordered early October. Shipped today.

 

[Frodebro]

No , DI has said that 1.1 will be available to download for users day 1 to get anyway
The problem here is that they expected a couple of weeks to put the final bow on the firmware upload now if units ship that window gets cut to 3 days vs 10
That’s a big difference

Ordered from SW. Got a discount code from MF and asked my SW rep to match it (or come close). He wouldn't budge at all so I cancelled the order and ordered one from MF with the discount on 9/19. It will be here tomorrow!!!

PSA for Helix Stadium XL purchasers in the UK - Guitarguitar has stock for delivery tomorrow!

 

[12tone]

Okay - The Stadium XL is here! Just getting through the updates & registering process and went through a couple of stock presets. Sounds great so far but lots more to dig through. Unfortunately I don't have tons of time in the next few days so it will take me a while to see & hear what I want but it's going to be fun!

 

[GLiDE-BPM]

On FedEx truck for delivery!!!!!!
Woooohooooo!!!

 

[GLiDE-BPM]

Got mine! Dining out and then sound testing begins!

 

[Fireproof]

Giddy up!! Wi-Fi connection was instant. Downloading 1.1.0.1274 right now.

Couldn’t be easier.

So glad for this new update process. The old convoluted days are behind us! Haha.

Compulsory Stadium selfie. Same experience with getting on wifi and updating. Super simple and worked flawlessly.
LETS GOOOO!!!

I’ll also say the touchscreen is amazing. Super clear hi-res and very responsive. Definitely iPhone like and not “cheap modeler vibes” like some of the other multi effects I’ve tried.

Man I’m really liking this thing. I have a great sounding plexi based rig with a 4x12 with greenbacks and another with black backs. Mixed and panned a little even though I’m in mono. A few drives in front of the plexi and some verbs and delays that work for the sound of my next gig. Going to play it tomorrow in a PW setting. Should be a good test.

Honestly, with how critical you are on gear, this means a good amount to me

No Sunday Tones preset?

If you have not, check out the MegaBass (Marshall SuperBass) model. It’s in with the bass amps and easy to miss. It’s a useful variation on the Plexi. It’s GOOD. Might also want to check out the black panel Bassman while you’re in there too (US Dripman I think).

It did great at the gig this morning which is big tell for me. I'm hanging on to this thing for a good while.

I'll have to say the new modeling L6 is doing not only sounds good but the feel for me got better much more so especially compared the OG Helix. Still got some tweaking some stuff and getting my head wrapped around how to use it which so far has been pretty easy and one a of the big things I like about L6's gear designs.

So far for a unit I honestly didn't think I'd end up keeping because they don't IMHO tend to live up to the "next best thing" especially at this price... I'm not asking for a return label.

The playing feel is my favorite part so far followed by the better tones. I’ve spent a lot of time with Tonex the last 2 years, and I’m getting things out of some of the agoura models that I prefer over anything I’ve had in Tonex V2.

It’s a testament to agoura that I haven’t been able to try all the new models yet because every time I hit either of the Bogner channels I end up playing guitar for an hour and don’t even touch the modeler. There’s some irony in L6 creating the perfect control interface and slapping it on a unit where I adjust things 1/10 the amount I did on Hx.

I know we’re not all having the same experience, but I’m having a blast. Put the kinky boost through the bogner and it’s immediately apparent you can’t get that in Hx.

Finally made my job decision. Now I can pre-order. Are people here getting any coupon deals on pre-orders from anyplace?
