Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

Yeah that sounds pretty dope. Tight with just enough fizz. (Boost off)

Now that I'm back home, I can confirm HX REVV Gen Purple sounds almost identical at the exact settings through his TV Mix 7 IR.

And the way he dialed that already had a bit of JVM OD 1 Orange to it, but I increased the Sag a bit and stuck a parametric EQ in front boosting 800hz or so with a gain bump too....WHOO LAWD. I riffed out 6-7 minutes straight.

I knew there was some modded Marshall tone in that channel, but it just needed the right coaxing to get out.....

However, the Omega Granophyre was amazing and I kick myself for selling that work of art

That's a great sounding hi-gain amp; i'd love to see it in Helix some day.

I know a guy who bought a QC exclusively to run NDSP's plugin for the Granophyre live, the poor soul.

That is a truly dreadful tattoo

I very much disliked the Revv 120 Generator I had.

Then again, I've tried/owned multiple boutique amps and never found one I loved. However, the Omega Granophyre was amazing and I kick myself for selling that work of art

The grano keeps rising to the top of my “I irrationally want to own that amp”. Right next to a mezzabarba and redseven.

The first one was so-so in my book but the newer revision of the Grano (1.5 IIRC) sounds much better.

I think KSR did that amp if I am not mistaken it was sub contracted

Ohhh... really??

Really? You even hate this Purple Channel tone at 3:11 here:



That sounds like Heaven, and also how I wish ANY of the high-gain Agoura tones were demoed thus far.

Wow, his IR chops off a ton of bass. It's pure mid-range goodness. But I like a bit more bass in there for standalone guitar playing.

Yikes. More than that? I get why it might be satisfying but seems like it would flub.

You know...I wish they'd at least keep the clips, or some other videos, coming given that it may be a while before folks get this thing

The forum should get a single donor unit we pass around to make clips. Someone’s gonna need to bribe DI.

Yeah I agree about the low end, its not really pushing the lows as much as I'd like.

This was one of the few Revv cli[ps I liked - sounds pretty good, if a bit generic sounding:



I'm not anti-Revv by any stretch, but I'd take a Krank Revolution/Krankenstein, or JSX or XXX over one without blinking. Way more distinctive and interesting sounding (and under-represented in modelling)

It sounds like the auditory version of a guy who skipped leg day, didn't wear pants, but has big boots on.
