Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

[Mooselake]

DI will probably call GC and get them to pull back everything, and the last one to get into the hands of UPS will be the one right before mine, lol.

It's possible to issue a tracking number long before an item ships, or even before the item is in stock.

Sure, but that’s so fucking annoying when it sits at “Label Created” for days/weeks

Here I was going to give Line 6 props for the stealthy green light. Looks like it surprised them as much as me maybe. Wonder if the impact is going to be 1.2 not available right away. That's the only reason I can see to leave stock sitting on shelves when you have buyers teed up.

Ya I suspect they wanted to get some ducks in a row
Like some vids from Serlacchii. Sonic Drive and maybe Leon Todd before shipping to end users

MY SW ENGINEER PROMISED ME THAT SW WAS THE BEST PLACE TO ORDER THE STADIUM FROM.

My question is, why at SW employees are called engineers?

If you can answer that you get a free Helix Stadium XL

You forgot Jason Sadites but we all know he will post a 20 min long video just to add a LA comp at the end of the chain :)

I executed a transactional optimization workflow between three mission-critical endpoints:

The client’s wallet

Line 6

Sweetwater


The challenge? Minimizing latency between desire and delivery while maintaining tonal transparency in the financial signal path.

Using a consultative impedance-matching framework, I was able to align the customer’s emotional EQ curve with Sweetwater’s throughput capabilities — ensuring seamless gain staging between budget headroom and gear aspiration.

That's awesome

With the extra DSP it could be 4 comp with and optional side chain

Digital Igloo weekend plans for a quiet Saturday after Halloween night ruined

Digital Igloo weekend plans for a quiet Saturday after Halloween night ruined

For sure - we just launched a product this week (Wednesday), the cloud update side of things barely made it to street date - and "Day 0" firmware image was done 2 weeks ago.

If product accidentally started shipping 2-3 weeks earlier there would have been panic. We also don't want users to be using the factory firmware either (other than to receive the Day 0 update upon onboarding the product).

 

[Fireproof]

Same here, but from MF. Also Wednesday.

Looks like my original guess of Halloween wasn’t too far off. Woot woot!!

Stadium XL wasn't supposed to ship out until the middle of this month. Those two weeks are mission critical to completely lock in 1.1 "The Day One Update," get our "Updating to 1.1" video finished, and...

...me finishing editing the manual and scrubbing its almost 300 PAGES of references to 9000 Stadium features that won't be in 1.1. Gah!

Y'all have no idea.

I really hate it when shops jump the gun. Fuckers do it on purpose I swear.

 

[Fireproof]

Someone dropped the ball and it wasn't us.

What does that even mean?

Sorry, DI. As if it wasn't stressful enough as is

 

[GTR37]

Stadium XL wasn't supposed to ship out until sometime later this month—and even so, the date was still too squishy to say "Oh, it's November XX." Those couple of extra weeks or so are mission critical for us to completely lock in 1.1 "The Day One Update," get our "Updating to 1.1" video finished, and for me to...

...finish editing the manual and scrubbing its almost 300 PAGES of references to 9000 Stadium features/UI elements that won't be in 1.1. Gah! Our technical writer won't be happy with the absolute gut job I'll have to do to his (excellent) work.

Y'all have no idea.

I am sorry this happened , I cannot imagine how frustrating it is for you and your team so close to the finish line

I spoke with someone from MF on the phone yesterday because I needed them to update my CC info. He said it would probably another week or two. He didn't say anything about shipping it out the next day, but he probably doesn't really know. I was surprised to get the notification. I'm wondering if they're just creating shipping labels for all these orders ahead of time to get them ready but aren't actually going to send them out quite yet. I'm not sure why they would do that, but I don't know how these types of things usually go.

The Wednesday date is just an auto generated estimate by MF, so I'm not really expected to get it then. UPS doesn't even have the package yet, so I'm not going to get too excited until that actually happens.

 

[BenIfin]

So are these 2 people in this thread at T.O.P actually going to physically get their units in the next few days ?

If so, what FW will they have / get ?

As a side note, the Stadium isnt even - as of this post- even on the L6 Support D/L page ?

 

[EOengineer]

I feel for the L6 team right now. An unexpected early hardware release is the stuff of nightmares in that world. They’ve probably already been grinding to hit anything near fall.

I’m just saying…if some Helix Stadium backpacks fell off the truck I bet many of us could be bribed to not turn them on for a couple weeks.

Because they designed, planned, and implemented your sale, as well as the follow up call while you’re either at work or on the toilet.
