It’s because of my enormous biceps

 

[Sascha Franck]

My armpits maintain their form, even when the shirt is folded

Wait another 10 years. And don't forget to take before/after pics.

I think a lot depends on what "a few things" means. Missing an Agoura amp model or two? Who cares. Missing Focus mode? Bigger deal.

I'd actually prefer if you were able to cook and release when you feel it's good enough. I get people want to try the new thing, but first impressions matter, even when Line6 has a trusted track record.

I have the same thoughts. Would rather wait until the first impression is really good. If not it might go back durning the return window.

"A few things" means what you suspect it might mean... Showcase. Most everything else planned for 1.1 is pretty much done; we're just tightening up what we have and fixing bugs.

Really liking the volume dynamics!

I have to commend the marketing folks at Line 6; they’re doing a great job at teasing what’s coming. They already had me a few weeks back and I must admit to having refreshed the page a little too much this afternoon waiting for the new clip.

Everyone is going to have their own takes, but I'll say that while Showcase matters, it's for a subset of users....just like Proxy.

Neither is worth holding up access to Agoura, Focus View and the things that 100 percent of the users will be working with every day.

Yeah, they're making Thursday afternoons (on the east coast, at least) extra zesty for sure.....

Nice, listen to how that cleans up with the picking dynamics. So far the clips have been pretty impressive.

I wouldn't mind if Showcase is not available at launch, because it's such a huge feature that it deserves kind of its own launch - showing what you can do with it and how to integrate it into your uses.

Will pre-orders come with a free pair of JNCO's or are you saving that for the ICP signature version?

Apple Bottom jeans.

Boots with the fur.

Whoa hold on a second? You guys’ juggalos had JNCOs?

No Midi Pants?

Order canceled

Damn I must have slept on the SLO video. If that’s all picking dynamics without rolling down guitar volume, I’m blown away. That seems way more dynamic than anything I’m getting in Helix right now, at least out of anything high gain.

I’m sure my brain is just hopium injecting all this, but I feel like there’s generally something different, tighter, more solid or more held together? The thump on the muted notes and transitioning between muted and ringing notes just sounds better.

Time to bring back the clown emoji!

 

[Orvillain]

Is it me or ... does that sound really good??

Not even my kind of playing, but I can hear a 3D quality to it that I don't think Helix regular has ????
