Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

[EOengineer]

I didn’t really care for the tones there at all but don’t use the Revs in the current Hx either. I think those amps aren’t for me, and I’m good with that. I’ve enjoyed all the other stuff so far and obviously the UI is top notch.

Man ... thats not a tone I -would- have associated with that Amp ?

Its dynamic hi gain

 

[mikah912]

Weird ..... not knowing what it was, I would have picked it as some sort of crunched-up EL84 style Amp :)

I always thought the Revv's were "meant" to be for modern hard rock / djenty stuff .... how wrong was I !

Paul is definitely using the neck single coil on his custom Pacifica, so that's playing a big role in the tones in the first part of the vid as well.

 

[Vic Winters]

I like that the video is exactly what people were joking about before the release and now they love it.

Gotta say, I’m liking a lot of what I’m seeing with the Stadium, as well as the sounds so far. But I definitely agree with Michael here.

The knobs turn both ways.

Just sayin', I hate that 3D picture type crap. It's a waste of the screen real estate.

Could be worse. Could be a full-screen cartoon rendering.

I don't really know what the answer is. I just don't like that stuff in a UI. I hate how the Fender TurdBlaster Pro is too.

I don’t even like having pictures on the screen at all. Just give me the cold digital abyss view of the grid, with the selected block params above the knobs. But everyone has their preferences.

When I want to be properly immersed I’ll just plug into an amp.

I think Line 6 over-corrected for people complaining about sideways sliders.

TBH I think that would actually be cool(er) than officially unofficial 3d renderings, but that’s just total boredom speaking. lol

 

[JiveTurkey]

I was actually thinking about this the other night. I actually dig the graphics on the Turdblaster. Their signal chain representation and overall methodology is gross beyond belief.

That’s my silly irk with Bogner
It looks more like a Caricature
With a blue grill and Red grill
For gawd sakes just put the real basket grill and make the channels leds blue and red
Or make the background glowing blue and red to depict channels

 

[AlbertA]

I'm so glad you guys aren't designing this thing hah

 

[JiveTurkey]

Also looking at my own digital "workflow" and realize if we're discussing anything beyond the sounds which still have me pooping pants; the UI has me

 

[Whizzinby]

I’m here for the future amp and pedal skin pack opportunities

 

[ispunk]

Dude that’s slick as hell how you can use the scroll knob to cycle through only favorites while on the grid. (Which include the controller assignments)

 

[mikah912]

This offset graphics discussion seems like Groundhog Day: It bubbles up every few weeks and never resolves.

The great thing is, you can avoid them altogether if you stay out of Focus View. Especially once you get a big enough library of Favorites, you won't even have to look at the list when you're making new presets (using the lower scroll wheel trick).
