Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

Some definite scratchiness on that Panama preset. Smooths out a bit and sounds good when it's pitched down though.

I actually came away from that video liking the Panama Red and I’m not usually a 5150 guy. There’s a spot where he starts sliding octaves around and there’s SO MUCH more weight there than I’m used to in Helix.

Yeah I thought the Panama sounded good. Better than what I remembered using from HX.

I noticed a bit of that and string noise but that to me is going to happen if you are gating really tight or if you have a tone of upper mid / presence but that is the modern sound and easy to rectify switch mics , high cut the cab , move the mic
I have my Fractal and it does that as well with noise under the notes depending on gate and eq setting

I’m thinking we won’t hear anything until about 9 am. That’s when my guys hours are.

I’m VERY much looking forward to a shipping notice from MF today. I pre-ordered on 6-25 though, so I’m actually not 100% I’ll be in the first batch. I did get one of the shipping apology emails earlier this week though, so staying optimistic.

Yup, that’s totally possible. Unfortunately my impatience is always on duty.

MF site now says in stock and ready to ship. Hope that means mine will soon. No notice.

I upgraded mine to next day air lol. Worth it for me at the end of the day.

I am trying to hold out for the Stompium, but my rep said it is still showing a 2028 ship date.

This is a small but good example of Hype in action. When he does the couple of rips on the SLO. I like the "togetherness" of the Hype cranked up.

Is all of that "demo Hype" listen to "high gain clips" type stuff... is that all new as of today? I don't remember it all being there when I checked the site ages ago.

Yea, however this is new in the sense that when you click on multi-effects, the Stadium pops up.

No manual in the download section yet.

 

[Orvillain]

I'm fucking hyped. My credit card is about to take a battering. I can feel it welling up in my pantaloonies.

For all the MF / GC folks, my status just updated from “processing” to a blank.

Andertons website is down for maintenance.

SUSPECT!

Hit by the Cloudfare outage probably.

 

[Hapless]

My Stadium at MF just switched to processing, but my backpack is still showing backordered.
