Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

It a worse strategy to try an fix it in the mix or try to set your sound when you get to the studio

As said, I always adress any such issues on a patch base.

It a personal ,thing if someone has high output picks low tuned guitars heavy strings and has noticed a lot end flub
They may prefer to have a low cut in a global setting
It a worse strategy to try an fix it in the mix or try to set your sound when you get to the studio
Why use a backup camera if you can stick your head out the window ?
Because it makes it easier
And the less the front of house guy or studio engineer has to do to make you fit in a mix the happier he and you both are apt to be

Trying to get too close to “studio tone” is how people chop the balls off their live sound.

 

[GTR37]

Most likely something you don’t want to hear , so carry on

We are or at least I am talking about having to much low end in a mix be it live or on a recording and if the guitar player feels comfortable to address it in their own gear and has preferred settings

The original post is is why would someone use a global low cut
I mean Brad whitford uses a 4500 setting on his Fractal but what does he know

So you don’t see the value
Of a global setting but you seem to always be clamouring for Global blocks on a modellers ?

 

[GTR37]

Magnets, I think.

Nailed it

No, I do want to hear it. You're not making any sense. Who has even implied any of the things you're railing against??

The original question was why would someone use a global low cut , I answered that in order to address a low end buildup live or in a mix
That’s was the answer and obviously personal preference of the player

I also stated that a problem area on many heavy dense guitar mixes is too much low and frequently will have to be addressed

That’s the Cole’s notes
Control the lows live or in a mix
And some make like to make low cuts on a global control

At this point I withdraw my statement
And maybe we can go back to discussing stadium
I am sorry for the de rail
And my part in it

 

[Fireproof]

Magnets, I think.

“Vacuum!”

(Throw back to Just Shoot Me - such a great show)

 

[mbenigni]

I mean, using it as a way to pass time is probably your best way to use it.

The technical jargon can be great but more often than not it's best for entertainment

 

[Sascha Franck]

For entirely different reasons.

 

[SymphonicDischord]

Magnets, I think.

We’re still at least a couple months out, we can handle a derail or two. As long as it’s not a whole new thread because L6 releases a video I don’t see the issue, lol.

 

[Calaban]

No I mean when you were a flip flopping turd that joined in with the rest of the paid Nueral turds that facilitated the creation of this forum. That time.

Oh

You’re delusional

Got it.

 

[Calaban]

Gotta be honest man, soon as I saw your name pop up I thought, oh no... not that cunt.

Gotta be honest as well…I don’t care

So I'm gonna go ahead and wager that you will not follow through on actually buying this.

I will but I can have opinions on it can’t I?

 

[timbuck3]

Remember that they got roasted for modeling the exact same real life amps that were modeled for the HD500?

Remember that no one else in the industry has completely broken away from the content in their previous modeler.

You're just nitpicking, man.

I guess I wonder if any of these companies when they say they have “new modeling“ if they actually go back and remodel the same amps they have in stock or they can get their hands on or if they just take the existing models and play around with them and then release them as new? I mean, starting from zero and remodeling amps with new technology will take a lot longer to do than just messing with the original amp somehow and releasing it.
Somehow, I feel head rush just takes tones. They already have and just tweak them and releases them as new, but I’m not sure about other companies.

At the end of the day it’s an arbitrary distinction. You’ll like the sound of the Stadium doing what you need it to do, or you won’t.

Line 6 is launching with 16 amps. Not a particularly impressive integer on the face of it, but probably sufficient. The question you seem to keep poking at is: by also giving us a shitload of legacy HX content, are they giving us more, or less? Hardly a question at all.
