Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

[GuitarGorilla]

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

I think it's because we might unconsciously associate it with a sound engineer, which probably has a more positive association to most of us than a sales rep.

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.

 

[DanRad]

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.

Shipping and receiving at Musicians Friend

I'm truly perplexed and/or glad I'm on the regular Stadium anyway. You guys can be the guinea pigs. But.......

I WANT THE MANUEL!!!

Qué?

 

[paisleywookiee]

Qué?

Yeah, I spelled it wrong again. Too lazy to change it.

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...).

I thought it was a call back

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.

Yeah usually they are real engineers, though. At least here.

Anyway I'm a so called sound engineer and I'm not engineer at all. So why am I surprised?
