Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

I don’t have any reason to vehemently disagree with you, except to say that there’s already precedent for code theft. But perhaps we’ll never know.

I think it's also wrong to lump companies together.

I can believe e.g Donner, Mooer etc brands take an OEM product and rebrand it, but Hotone and Nux are certainly doing their own thing from scratch.

Mooer has already been caught once ripping off code. So I don’t think they’re a particularly ethical company. But yes, they can’t be lumped all together.

Finding audio developers is not that difficult. Another thing is that you can hire many really good ones.

How did you come to that conclusion?

 

[molul]

How did you come to that conclusion?

I'm a developer and worked 3 years for an company that had an audio app for gaming (not as audio engineer, but I met a few there). And the second part is pure logic: hiring top developers, or top anything, isn't easy.

If I was an audio developer, I might work for brands like Hotone in my early years, but if I became really good, I'd aim for companies not known for making good enough cheap products.

When you end up creating an Agoura amp model, if it is replacing an existing Helix model, do you plan on keeping the "legacy" version or just completely overwriting it?

It gets moved into Amp > Legacy. What’s odd is that some of our newest HX amps are getting moved into Legacy before our earliest HX amps.

Awesome! Thanks for the reply!

Maybe I am misunderstanding, but does this mean that some of your earliest HX amps will just be in the regular amp category until they get an Agoura glow up?

So, would that mean that nothing goes into the legacy folder until it is updated?

I think Hotone might be an interesting place for a developer.

PS. A TGF mascot needs to be something pickle-based.

There was definitely a pickle involved in some of that dude's antics.

Lexx is not more.

Really interesting Q&A

Really interesting Q&A

Doug rules, just comes across so upbeat and positive and someone who wouldn’t EVER get on your nerves. Pretty sure that guitar is permanently attached to his body, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him apart from one.

I think that might mean that out of the 16 at launch the older ones have been Agoura’d first so maybe something like the 5153 Vitriol etc are not in launch but things like the Recto Freidman , MK4 are
Again all speculation under Igloo can confirm the 16 on the list

I didn't know Doug Doppler before, but he seems like a great guy and the interview was very well prepared and really informative. Will definitely check out more of his videos.

He kinda flies under the radar a bit, imo; because he isn't out there making stupid thumbnails or being coy or weird. He's just smiling and ripping it up respectfully.

@Digital Igloo How will Stadium handle channel settings? I know you can select different channels on Agoura models, but what happens to all the other settings when you do so?

Will it remember what you dialed in on ch1 if you switch to ch2 and vice versa? Or will it just throw away those settings and go back to defaults unless you configure everything in snapshots?

Or in other words: Will you be able to configure your channels, and then do nothing more than assign that channel change in a snapshot?

@Digital Igloo Will Stadium murder my Axe FX 3 and wear its face like a mask whilst doing its little kooky dance?

The way you worded it, I interpreted as "it's easy to hire audio developers, including many good ones", hence my confusion.
