Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

[Fireproof]

I didn’t like it (Neural). I think the Helix is better. Maybe I should try it again.

Why bother? There’s no benefits of working hard to try to like NDSP. Especially if you are already happy with Helix.

I enjoy the SLO NDSP plugin. Was actually playing it last night and probably my most used NDSP plugin.

That and Nolly

I think if one owns the helix or the new stadium or the fractal units that there’s so many amps in there already that tweaking them could probably get you close to other amps
My personal favorite am I’ve played in. My life is a train wreck. I know there’s a different versions and I don’t remember what version it was. I didn’t own it of course but this was many years ago. I had a chance to buy one at a pretty good price, but somebody else scooped it up, but I did get to play it a bunch of times and the dynamics were amazing in it and I see that some of these modeling manufacturers have a version of train wreck in there, which I haven’t really playedbut when I get my stadium XL I think it might have a pretty good one in there to try at least

It’s the perfect observation to have when sitting in a hotub mulling over your preorder.

You have Fractal right? Try those Train Wrecks.

Tim, are you a native english speaker? What country are you based out of?

I can't tell if you're a young guy, old guy, French, American, African, British - can't tell.

FWIW, I too had a chance to play a Trainwreck Express once at Ultrasound studios in NYC. It was everything I ever wanted an amp to be - warm, raunchy, aggressive, melodic....all at the same time...truly the king of guitar amps....in such a simple circuit.

To this day, if someone gives me the money to get any amp that I want - I'm first getting a Trainwreck and that a Dumble that I like (although a Fuchs ODS is a good stand-in for me).

I've always been curious about the Z-Wreck and Z-Wreck Jr. I've played quite a few Zs but not the Wrecks. Really wonder what they're like.

The Kuykendall videos are still the ones that remind me of everything I love about Wrecks. They are truly some of the most special amps on this planet.



Another good video -

True. I just always wonder, when other people seem to dig it so much.

 

[paisleywookiee]

I’ve found the SLO models to be kinda all over the map. The HQ Soldano on my Hotone is nice but it has Clean, Crunch and Lead choices. The Soldano in my NUX Amp Academy is not something I really like. It’s not due to it being a completely inferior modeler IMO because I dig the Uber and Friedman on it. It makes me wonder if I’d even like the real thing. I do respect what has been accomplished on it on a few recordings though.

Well, I know I love the real thing. I played it and the 30 at Sweetwater and it was amazing.

That's what I always though...esp. with the dog pic and some of the language....but sometimes I wonder. What an enigma!

Whenever I hear talks of the Trainwreck - I think of that first video above. Just glorious tones.

I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing one in person.

I think he is using a text to speech app and it sometimes writes in a more entertaining way.
