Totally. I got a used Precision Drive to offload on DSP when I had an HX FX. The difference is definitely there and now I have a hard time running the modeled one, even if it would be more convenient. After that I’ve gotten a compressor pedal and a ”transparent” drive as well. It will be interesting hearing what you early adopters think of the drives running on Stadium!

Agoura doesn't do anything with the FX pedals. It's just amps. Don't think we'll hear much difference.
I always thought that an OD pedal would be way easier to model than an entire amp given the simpler circuit...but no it seems.
I guess that's what Proxy is there for. But I prefer modeling that scrolling through a million snapshots so hope they do some updating of the ODs.

Definitely not for nonces.

Do you think we will ever get a copy of the Ibanez Weeping Demon wah pedal in the Helix or the Stadium? This seems to be one of the few pedals nobody seems to be able to recreate! "Pleasseeeee"

I was thinking of the new hardware (converters etc.) and how DI has mentioned that older stuff might sound different based on such things.

We don't take ourselves that seriously around here. Well, except for that one guy...

As easy as it gets. HX Stomp analog mono out into Motu M2 (could as well have used the Stomp as an interface but it's just more comfortable with the permanently hooked up Motu) into Logic on a Macbook Air. Delay and reverb courtesy of Logic because I wanted some stereo width. And that's it.

The drip feed of excitement in this launch has bordered on tantric

Been waiting for a Helix Stadium non-XL footprint for years, and now that it's closer, I'm starting to consider the XL
So far I've only used expression pedal to mute (something I hope I can do with the Stadium tuner if Line6 is kind enough to implement the alternative mode I suggested a few months ago
), but I've recently started to use it for controlling modulation blocks rate or delay time, and also the scribble strips could be handy in some situations... But I still struggle to decide if those two things only are worth the extra 500€ (there's nothing else I would miss in the non-XL).
Scribble strips are something I would only miss in sunlight gigs, which are quite uncommon in my case, and if I ever needed an exp pedal, I could get one for much less money (with the small inconvenience of having to carry it separately).
Aw shit... I know I'll love any of the Stadium version once I get one, but I'm getting absurdly anxious for making the choice I won't regret.
Also, the lighter weight and smaller footprint is still very important to me. Slightly more important than the exp pedal and the scribble strips, but just slightly.
Any other one here having had this hard time, so I can feel equally silly but at least not alone?

Consider this: With an external EXP pedal, you could comfortably put the unit on a stand and still check all your EXP assignments, while being able to enjoy on-unit editing.

I went XL because of the extra IO and the scribble strips. I will say L6 has the next decade to find interesting and novel uses for the expression pedal and I’m not putting it beyond them to have some cool functionality hiding on the roadmap somewhere.
If the Stadium had scribble strips then I 100% would have gone that direction.
