Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

[Sascha Franck]

I know it's blueballs prior to release when people are looking for an extensive traditional runthrough, but I love these kinds of unorthodox players.

Yeah, quite a decent idea to get those on board.

Thanks for the tip. I chatted with them and they confirmed that orders placed now will be in the first shipment that they expect to go out on the 18th. They seem to have good Google and Facebook reviews, so I placed an order with them. I'm forfeiting the 20% discount from MF/SW, but at this point I'll consider it a fee to not be additionally jerked around by call center employees of big box stores.

It will be funny if MF, SW, and Chuck Levins all ship my preorders the 18th in the end. If they don't accept returns I suppose I'll sell the extras on Reverb and make a small profit on due to the discounts.

Yeah my SW invoice has said 11/18 release for a few weeks now. Seems about right

My rep said end of Dec for my mid July preorder, but nothing would surprise me at this point.

I’m thinking some reps may be conflating the Stadium and Stadium XL dates.

What has been consistently communicated is 11/14-11/23. The 14th is past us - it is likely it starts shipping before the 23rd. This also somewhat aligns with DI's communicated timeline (earlier by a week)

Hey @Digital Igloo I got my Stadium XL today! It's awesome, just the update said something about using the app with it. Is there a desktop application? If so could you link it? Cheers brother!

Long & McQuade in Canada.

@Digital Igloo staring at Long & McQuade ^^^

I got the email last night it was in, which surprised me because people were saying they'd be shipped to the stores next week. Needless to say I was pretty excited and was there at open to pick it up.

Oops! My next question was going to be how do I register it since it doesn't appear in the drop down menu on the site. Makes sense if I got it earlier than they expected.

No, you've just opened the door to fame. Just get your video/audio equipment ready and practice for that soyface thumbnail already.

No, just make sure it you do a video, don’t use smartphone audio

Even the law firms in Canada have the Stadium before the music stores in the US...we've gone from first to last. DI - do something!

Hey amigo!

The Helix Stadium application will be available the morning of launch day, along with the manual. I know it sucks because Stadium is right there in your room, but after a lot of back and forth, we've ultimately decided to stick with the plan, regardless of our channel partners... not sticking with the plan. Feel free to hit up your dealer and tell them you're pissed there's no editor or manual available (whether you're actually upset or not).

In the meantime, I'm more than happy to answer any questions you might have, y'know, when I'm not shaking back and forth, mumbling to myself in the corner.
