Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

@Orvillain -

Or maybe you just need a Hotub instead?

Or maybe you just need a Hotub instead?

Why not get both?

That seems like important information for customers before you reserve a preorder.

I’m wondering if this was news to Andertons as well? It’s kind of looking like I got loyalty points on the £99 deposit and they’re not now giving them. They’ve already updated their website so I can’t see what they were advertising before - it’s just showing the price and date on there now and when they’re expected.

Edit - please note those points might have been there from before but I don’t think so. Someone else can hopefully confirm?

@Orvillain - there is a finance option showing on there but it’s not a zero / low interest one….. the more usual expensive kind but it’s there on their site

Mine contains no such verbiage

Maybe the 11/18 date is real then.

When did you place your order (and this is for the XL)

 

[StarF666]

Just preordered in Germany. Also got Nov. 18th for a date (Stadium XL). Should I trade my floor for a Stomp now?

Just preordered in Germany.

Where?

Interesting glimpse at EU pricing including Italian VAT 22% on that website:

• HX Stadium: 1999 €
• HX Stadium XL: 2399 €

I wonder if the non-XL Stadium price is a placeholder because that's almost 30% on top of the US Sweetwater price after converting it to euros. The XL is tiny bit more than US price + VAT.

EDIT: Found Thomann's still hidden pages for it. These are with Finnish VAT 25.5%

Well.... no Helix Stadium in my immediate future as it turns out. I had planned to use the finance option to get it, and Andertons says no.

Patiently waiting until the regular Stadium becomes available on Thomann or Musik Produktiv myself.

 

[StarF666]

Where?

Thomann.

Wow, thanks! Looks like i can preorder from Thomann CH

I just got another "Your order has been delayed" email from GC regarding my Stadium XL preorder this morning. It did not give any indication of a future date when they think it might be in stock/shipped.

I got one of these from MF this morning. These are likely just automated and going out because we just clipped the Oct 26 date that they had set in their systems. None of us know when these are coming, totally expected to not hit in Oct.

There is no date. It's still in transit across the ocean. Even if they knew exactly when it was arriving, they don't know exactly when it clears Customs, nor exactly when they get it to the Sweetwaters and like of the world.

Yamaha is fulfilling at least some of these orders directly, so they may not pass through the retailers, but yeah, the date is a Halloween mystery.

I've never been given a date by GC. I think they just automatically send one out once a month for any outstanding order that's unfilled due to out of stock condition. Sounds like MF may operate a little differently.

In the same email GC did recommend a Hello Kitty Squire Strat for me. Must be a lot of folks who are snatching up Hello Kitty strats while waiting for their Stadium preorders. Obvious overlap in customer base there.

I never saw any sort of date from MF. They have been periodically sending emails just saying it's backordered, which I already knew.

Does the VH4 model cover all four of its channels?

Of less importance, are the channels split amongst several models or can you switch channels from within the model?

No and nope. Two separate models of channels 3 and 4. They sound good and compare nicely to their Fractal FM9 equivalents, for what it's worth.

But VH4 isn't an Agoura model yet, so if or when that happens...only then is that a possibility.

You don’t already have a Stomp?
