Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

Looking at those frets like

I dunno man... I don't think that guitar is THAT attractive....

Line 6 should reach out to Dagan to do a demo.

The way it works is that nothing goes into the "Legacy Guitar" category until it gets an Agoura version.

So the HX amps, Line 6 Originals and Agoura models all co-exist in the amp category so as not to bias someone against trying them. In fact, the Line 6 Originals no longer have "Line 6" at the beginning. They all get graphics and look like they belong with each other.

Cool, didn't know. Thanks for the clarification.

100% or get him one through Andertons , he gets great sounds

What's the time code for when they show the tuner? I can't find it.

5:55

And here comes the videos … slowly but surely!

Here some cool info on the FB regarding CPU
One guy is able to fit 2 Agoura amps plus duals cabs and some effects on PathA , he said some effects like poly pitch was greyed after that but that was only Path A

So it seems conceivable that you could run a Clean/ Drive / Lead combo w 3 amps and still get poly pitch on the second path

If that really is the case , then my original request to have virtual A/B for amps may not be quite as important or a priority

Tuner looks nice finally. Also some more amps to be spotted, Voltage Queen, Stone Age 185, L6 Clarity! and some more tweed. Excited to see the Agoura release list.

It does look nice. I used the strobe tuner. Would be good to see what that looks like.

It's more responsive. I like the tuner in Helix Native. It's the same one as in the Floor but more responsive. The Stadium tuner seems completely new and very quick. Guess that's another thing where the GPU comes in handy.

That's just a one-off from Line 6 Japan. The "launch" day won't happen until mid-next week most likely.

Ha, everything this thing can do and we're all in love with the tuner

That's .... not what I was expecting. Maybe I need to see it in motion.

Looks like upside down Space Invaders.

You've never seen a digital strobe tuner?

Yeah, but the tuner in the floor was something that really bothered me. It show's they didn't just update the hardware and put software 3.90 on it (as some suggested). Excited to see more of these small but important improvements.

I use the strobe tuner on the Helix Floor. That's not what mine looks like. Mine looks like this:

That's basically what hardware strobe tuners look like. Imagine like different layers of blocks with different spacings and therefore speed showing different levels of precision.

Just talked with some MF at MF who stumbled around and then threw out a mid December release for the XL I ordered the day they announced it.

I get wildly different answers depending on who I speak with. I don’t trust any of them.

 

[Digital Igloo]

I don’t trust any of them.

You got more reason than most given what the Canadian dealers have done in the past 24 hours. I'm probably going to go reeeeeeeeaaaaaaalll light on Reddit, the FB group and elswhere until this thing drops.
