Helix 3.8 when?

[molul]

@Digital Igloo was this Pod Express Black that product "tangentially related" to Helix you mentioned a while ago?

I still want to be hyped for new stuff coming before the end of the year

Probably? I don't remember the reference to be honest.

Probably a question you can’t answer but what the hell are any of these items in the Helix Multiverse The one coming out later this year is tangentially related to Helix. And if one maintains a very loose definition of "Helix Multiverse," several others potentially could as well. One particular...

We're going but won't be showing new hardware.

Its also insane what they’ve accomplished with keeping Helix relevant and “in the game”.

As much as I despise the "Is the HELIX still relevant in 20XX???" videos on Youtube... Well, we are 9 years in, already close to 10 and this clickbait question still comes up. It seems L6 has hit a nerve with the HX line.

I'd really like to know how many units L6 has shipped of the Helix and Stomp in these 9 years.

Floor would be most interesting and LT maybe. Stomp is recently turned 6 the little bastard so it’s a few years “younger”.

I guess they might have sold more stomps than the big ones… my guess is worthless though.

 

[molul]

I'm guessing there are more sales of smaller products too, seeing the latest products footprints.

Hopefully that would lead to smaller flagship units in the future.

Smaller in weight maybe, not so small that I have to buy an expression pedal.

I know it’s not a fair comparison but I wonder if the collective yawn at the release of the Headrush Prime has influenced the bean counters at other companies.

Even though nobody talks about the MX5 anymore, that little pedal was hot for a few years. Nobody has talked about Prime since its marketing push ended.

Mx5 was a great move and concept by HR.

the basic comparison would be as if the FM3 had the same power as the FM9, or the Stomp had the same power as the LT/Floor.

I think the collective yawn at the Prime was there because support for the original was minimal and it was a very half-assed product IMO. They just grabbed a bunch of shit they already had and stuck it together in a box. Even the "FRFR" was just a rebrand of an already existing product with a MINOR adjustment to the input hardware.

@Digital Igloo I know that the update is just a few weeks away, but can you tell us any other info about it? Maybe if it will bring profile/captures compatibility?

Maybe if it will bring profile/captures compatibility?

It won't. In the past he's mentioned that adding such feature would be a significant undertaking, which seems to imply L6 has other priorities.

That said, the update is rumored to include currently missing cabs (using the new engine) and several amps mentioned by others in prior posts.

Thank you my friend!

No offense at all @bluesbrazil

But I keep wondering about the idea behind posts like this. Do you think he'll go "yeah, sure" and possibly spill the beans weeks before it drops?

1) the competition is always hawking along each and every move (if they're clever enough, that is)

2) some of us want a surprise (remember presents as a child)

Cheers


EDIT: I wouldn't expect capturing/profiling/NAM from L6 just yet. Always in for new stuff that goes beyond the current capabilities, but I'd deem that unlikely, tbh.
Always up for a nice surprise tho.

Didn't consider as an offense at all!

I've just made the question, with no "idea behind", it was just based on something I've read in another forum, from a guy inside L6 (can't remember exactly where) that said that if profiling were a market trend at some point in the future, it would probably come in an update and not necessarily in a new device. So I thought he might give some brief information or some clue about that. Without wanting him to give all the information about something that is about to be released. Just like the things he already said here before. But I agree with what you said. Let's wait and see what's to come.

Cheers!

Ah, yes. The tangential product is indeed POD Express Black. The stuff I started working on in 2017 is not, nor will anyone see them anytime soon.

Oooh, I was hoping it was something like Fender FR10/12. I guess I'll have to start considering getting one, and hope it's one of the new ones that doesn't have the hiss issue
