Helix 3.8 when?

[ballhawk]

This is how it looks like.

Reminds me of my trip to San Francisco

November 31 is my guess

XIV

Couldn't agree more, Mark XIV will be released before 3.8.

Then we can play the "Mesa Boogie or Pope?" game!

Firmware questions for 100$:
Name his holiness who's papacy began in 2037, when Helix firmware 3.8 was not released yet.

Trick question! At the time there was no His Holiness! Instead there was the interim appointed cardinal Frank IV, who took office after a sudden heart attack took pope Giuseppe XII to the kingdom of Heaven.

Coincidentally, this happened on the same day that Kemper Profiler Operating System 12.5.9.97654 was released. Its ominous release notes said simply "Pope fix."

I remember when Pope John Paul II ( the Polish Pope) said, "I want to bring cheeses to the world".

I thought well that's sweet and nice and all that but shouldn't he be concerned with more important stuff?

3 weeks later I found out he had said Jesus not cheeses.

At any rate, 3.8 will be regarded as a miracle when it finally arrives.

A whole year... I bet the update is HUGE,. like new UI, remastered Amps and FX, at least seven... no, eight cool new features, twelve Cabs, nine Ams, and a LOT more.

Dude, you know what's in it. You know 3.80 is a relatively small update and not just because I've said so for many months.

I'm going on vacation a week from tomorrow, and it was planned long before we knew 3.80's release date, so y'all know what that means...

Oh, I didn't know this was exclusive to the LT. I only use snapshot or stomp view. Would love being able to color snapshots, btw.

You can. Same place where you name them.

it probably means my timeline of 18th or 19th is correct
If only it had an XTC but I think that ship sailed in your earlier post when you said if we ever do one it would be the 101b , unless you are a really good poker face

I mean I'd like to think I have a pretty good poker face but that doesn't mean an XTC will be in 3.80 or even 3.90.

Does L6 own an XTC? Haven't seen one in any of their amp room videos.

Need one to model one....unless they borrow amps to model.

We'd want to own it just in case we need to go back and check/fix something or years later, re-do it all in a new engine or something.

I was damn sure the pope looked different the last time I saw him.

Well, time leaves traces.

If folks had a choice of XTC, which one would you get?

• The 3534 50W (per reviews) can sound close to the 101B but also has updated modern voicing. Also costs only 2 Helix Unit sales to purchase. Easier to justify
• The 3534 35W is the one with the noisy loop
• The 2 100W Ecstasys cost 2-3 Helix Unit sales - I don't know much about the 6L6 version; reading up on it now. It's the most expensive so maybe it's the 'best'?
• The Mini is SS but supposed to capture a lot of the mojo.

Hmm depends , the 50 oddly enough is quite different than the red channel on the 35 watt , it’s more in the classic mode , it will do the 80s rock and beautiful leads but the 35 gets way more aggressive
For example Red channel maxed on the 50 would be about equal to the Red 35 at 10 or 11 o’clock
The loop was fixed on the 35 after the first batch if the boost led is orange instead of purple you should be good

Oddly where the Red is less aggressive , the blue on the 50 watt has more gain than the 35 and is very similar to the blue channel on the 101b that many consider THE Bogner sound

I would say if you can try to play them both , depending on your style you will probably prefer one over other .

Here is a good example although they sound similar 35 is more aggressive and the 50 needs the gain cranked , bright 1 on and boost on to get close

I hope the new models are more fx

Me enjoying the 3.8 update.
