Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

[Chocol8]

The plan would be to place it with a traditional pedalboard so I'm totally fine with the "not all in one" approach.

I could just use the software but running pedals into the front of my AI just doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies

This is a perfect use case for a Tonex One. Put a couple good captures on it, and then stick it at the end of your pedal board in place of an amp. I would absolutely recommend the One for this over the software as I find the software to be a less than pleasant user experience, while for me, the One just works.

If you plan to change captures every time you play, then the software is easier, but if you can setup a couple profiles and not touch them for weeks or longer, it's better for your blood pressure and mental health to avoid the software.

I’m probably buying a Tonex One soon mainly for running a capture of a power amp into HX Stomp for post-FX, with my pedalboard and preamp first in chain.

I’m thinking the capture function coming next year should cover that ground pretty well. Hoping it trickles down to the HX Stomp version of Stadium that will be more in my price range.

But I’d still like to see a few power amp models as well!

That’s a great use for the Tonex One! I sold my big Tonex but kept the little guy for utility use cases like this. I haven’t tried the new capture process yet, but the UI looks to have batch processing now. That will make it much easier to grab several captures of your power amp at various settings, depending on what you are using. I need to give it a whirl as well!

Are dedicated power amp models on the roadmap? It’s probably not a common use case, but I run synergy preamps into the QC along with captures of my rack mount power amps. It’s not a critical use case for me, but it’s fun to experiment with.

Good question

@Digital Igloo Just to break up the Tonex One discussion for a bit, are we at "release candidate" status yet for 1.1?

sounds tight. I could live with that tone.

Technically yes, but every day is a new release candidate, so no, not quite. The daily bug reviews are now much shorter.

Not my kind of thing - but I have to say that the new Yamaha guitars are very beautiful!

Looking at the qc they seem to rip off the og helix gui somewhat but a lawsuit would be hard to prove I bet… look at what happened

Haha! Just noticed the filter.

The article doesn't say that B£#®!n&€® got away with anything; only that the case was dismissed. They very well could've settled out of court or Klon may have dropped the suit because B£#®!n&€® acquiesced and changed the name/logo.

EDIT: It's still super slimy, tho', especially considering that it's a much bigger financial burden for Klon to defend their IP than it is for B£#®!n&€® to just shrug and change their silkscreen.

He said in the comments he remembered it being either the REVV or the Soldano.

Correct, Behring Turd changed the name and logo and settled out of court. This was certainly not dismissed because of a lack of having a case. Quite the opposite, BT quickly realized they had no chance and settled quickly.

Good variety of styles in this one and for the high gain folks go to the Revv at the end :)

that's the first time I saw Focus view demonstrated for a drive pedal? Is it an available option for all blocks? I thought it was just a global parameter originally.

Sorry Tim - couldn’t resist and hope I’m forgiven :)
