I just watched Rick Beato interview Bumblefoot - who is using Helix Native throughout - and OMG, someone needs to ship this guy a Stadium.

Alternately: Hobo, Wizard Shredder. And we're both right.

Magnetic thimble holder for the win. Just edging out Paul Gilbert's magnetic slide holder. :)
Bumblefoot is incredible. A while ago he did a video showing how to play the same scale at different tempos simultaneously (like minor pent one at 1/4 and one at an 8th) using hybrid picking (no tapping). He did them both linearly and as a round and swapping cadances on individual lines. I practiced it for a bit and could sort of do the simultaneous version as long as I had my tongue in Jordan position and concentrated for all I was worth. Let's not talk about using it as part of a soloing context and doing it musically.

I watched a good chunk of that. I thought we had it on good authority that no player/act of his stature would use anything other than tube gear! Extremely impressive what he got out of the Helix. I agree it would be neat to get his take on a Stadium. (though it looked like he was running into that Marshall too)

I had no familiarity until this morning (clicked on it randomly), and my mind is blown. This is the video:

I imagine he runs digital effects into tube amps when he can, but he talks about using a laptop/ Helix Native rig when he wants to travel light, so it's safe to say he does some playing through all-digital setups, too.
It just goes to show that good notes are more important good tones. :)

He doesn't look like a hobo wizard now 
IMO, the programming takes a back seat to his playing skills.
I'm not a fan of modern technical playing and shredders, but he's (and GG) is the exception. What a style, what a sound and what a nice guy.
Many people don't know. He's very unassuming and low key but overflowing with talent and capability.

That album Bumblefoot did last year with his supergroup, Whom Gods Destroy, was pretty bussin'.
The vocals/lyrics are the weak point for me, but the underlying riffs and shredding is beyond sick, and he actually brings unique ideas to modern prog metal, which is something of a miracle these days.
Oh, and the album is all Helix and he sells a preset pack of his tones on the Line 6 store.
