Indeed. Line 6 needs to release some more content to appease the vultures, stat!

I’m gonna go see if he’ll argue with me about whether the title is clickbait or not. Or maybe that was a different guy.

Yeah, but that would generate even more influencer videos.

The amount of random jabronis popping up in my YT feed giving their 5 reasons why they're not getting a Stadium or whatever is getting a little ridiculous.

Y'all are propping up the "influencer" economy now....

How so? It's not really parallel when there's literally nothing in parallel between send and return.

1)

Maybe that one path is “dry” and the other has effects?

This!

2)
What I was doing in each and every patch on the Floor, was having a split path containing multiple blocks that I would then control per individual footswitches (or sometimes just toggle between two). The split path's A/B selector itself however would then be controlled via snapshots (or sometimes its own switch). That way, I could, for example, preselect some different drive blocks in that split path, but regardless of what I had selected, it would always be within one step's reach (namely calling up the snapshot activating the split).
In fact, I'm still doing it exactly the same on the Stomp in some patches (just not with snapshots).

Fwiw: That's also part of the reason why I waited with my purchase until deactivating snapshot bypass was introduced. The above wouldn't have worked without that functionality.

And fwiw #2: When snapshots were introduced, I was possibly the first one to complain (without even owning a unit) about the lack of that very functionality @ TOP. Very obviously, as per usual over there, people didn't understand why I would ask for something like that - "You don't even own a unit, just believe us, nobody needs that!". Fortunately the guys at Line 6 did better.

Can I now have my royalties, @Digital Igloo?

But DI, we have people reviewing hardware which isn't even out yet!

Dedicating so many hours to creating garbage content... One needs serious vocation to become that.

Had a brief intercourse with the guy on the L6 forum. Friendly but a pretty clueless dude. Trying to tell you how the USB protocol (as in 2.0 vs 3.0) would be oh so important to achieve smallest latencies.

Question for Helix veterans: what did the Mode switch do before snapshots were added?

Switched between preset and stomp, basically.

Switched between preset and stomp, basically.

And holding it accessed Pedal Edit mode.

This was the ONLY song I learned on drums lmao

He admits pretty early on it's just conjecture on his part.

All of the usual suspects are REACHING for any Stadium-adjacent content to get clicks. Sadites has a travelogue of his time to get to the event up now, which came after his "I played it and here's what I think" video which came after his interview with DI which.....well, you get the idea.

Tubers gotta Tube. As an old fart who used to read both of the two guitar magazines I could find in the store (once a month), I’m still in awe of the cereal-box-aisle experience of guitar content we get now. So I still like JNC even if I don’t care for every video. The dude’s got to work.

And yes, I walked uphill both ways in the snow to get to the pharmacy with the magazine rack.
