Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

I spoke with someone from MF on the phone yesterday because I needed them to update my CC info. He said it would probably another week or two. He didn't say anything about shipping it out the next day, but he probably doesn't really know. I was surprised to get the notification. I'm wondering if they're just creating shipping labels for all these orders ahead of time to get them ready but aren't actually going to send them out quite yet. I'm not sure why they would do that, but I don't know how these types of things usually go.

The Wednesday date is just an auto generated estimate by MF, so I'm not really expected to get it then. UPS doesn't even have the package yet, so I'm not going to get too excited until that actually happens.
 
I feel for the L6 team right now. An unexpected early hardware release is the stuff of nightmares in that world. They’ve probably already been grinding to hit anything near fall.

I’m just saying…if some Helix Stadium backpacks fell off the truck I bet many of us could be bribed to not turn them on for a couple weeks. :rofl

Well at least you dont have to worry about Long & McWait to ship before release date, hell they wont even have any stock to ship after release date, you will just have to wait a few months.

So is it just MF orders shipping early? Damn my allegiance to Sweetwater!

I don’t think the MF/GC orders are shipping. I have no source or anything, but I suspect it’s a bug or unexpected operational reason we’ve seen charges and label notifications generated from only those two sellers, who are effectively the same organization.

My question is, why at SW employees are called engineers?

It's industry terminology for technical sales. When selling complicated products you usually want to have someone technical that understands (is supposed to anyways...) the products bring sold and can advise you on the correct combination of products (usually called solution). It's a bit pretentious for a music store to call their sales people that but it's trying to give an image of consultative sales that should appeal to professional buyers (like studios, tour managers etc...).

Yeah, until I see a shipping notice saying "We have your package" or "On the Way", I wouldn't believe anyone is getting it "early".

And keeping it a buck, if Line 6 doesn't have a 1.1 experience ready to go when I open it up...... I'd wait anyway. We've waited this long. What are a couple of more weeks?

Yeah, sales engineers are a very normal thing in IT, for example.
