Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

[EOengineer]

Of all things, I’m most excited they put the tweed champ in there. Very curious to hear how Agoura handles a simple circuit like that.

No Recto No Party

I was disappointed to see no Mesa Mark or IV. Oh well, hopefully soon

No Recto No Party

Yeah no Mesa’s at all. That is a bummer but I doubt it stays that way for long.

That looks like a pretty good list. In the vid, it looks like the Brit MegaBass is a Marshall Superbass! That's pretty cool. I wasn't expecting that.

I'm sure some people will be disappointed that there aren't any Mesas, but I don't really use them so it doesn't bother me. I'm sure they'll be added in updates.

Oh they got the blackface Bassman in there! I skimmed right over that bass section. That happens to me in helix sometimes too.

Solid 100 (aka Soldano SLO-100) should be a decent stand in until we get a Recto.

That and the Superbass are commonly as guitar amps theses days, so I don't even really consider them bass amps.

I disagree but heyho. I also prefer the Peavey 5150 to the EVH ones, sometimes the green channel of those can scratch a similar itch for me.

Not too fussed, hopefully be the time a Stomp or Native plugin are released we’ll get some refreshed Mesa/Peavey/Diezel amps and a new Uber.

I like how they sound when other people use them. Hate playing through them, real or modeled.

I have never played a real one, and my experience with models makes me not want to buy one. However, when I hear one played it slays. maybe I have to buy one someday and figure it out

 

[Dez]

Intransigence?

I always have to ask my wife what words mean but then, I can do calculus etc etc and she has issues with algebra so we fill in each others’ blanks lol

 

[HomespunEffects]

Whew, I tough solid meant solid-state.

 

[EOengineer]

It has to be exhausting coming up with the model names.

No Recto No Party

I said it at the other place, but I'm fine getting by with the HX Recto for a bit.

The Mark missing is a bit of a bummer because I'm less happy with the HX versions, but I bet that hole gets plugged sooner rather than later - whether by the Proxy launch early next year or by them adding it shortly after launch.

Finally a jumped 103 and a super bass…

That super bass has me super curious. That’s the one thing I think is missing in fractal.

The PODxt had a pretty good sounding superbass for that period. Would be interesting to know if they modeled the same amp. Not really sure if they are even targeting specific amps they own at this point.
