Here’s a pic of the cheat sheet in case someone wants to see it.

It's the best part honestly.

Good catch. Something didn’t save in my post. Fixed it.

I just wish it was MY cheat sheet because that would mean I have the XL in hand. Sigh. lol.

Some dude just posted a NAM Super Reverb clip on the other page. Waiting for my Stadium demo that sounds like this -

"Hold Amp to jump to and cycle between any Cab blocks". That's pretty sweet since those are usually not mapped to a footswitch.

The simple signal and clipping indicators on the input/output icons are also a great idea.

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.

this is shocking, Usually, Long and Mcwait never has stock to deliver squat, the one time were they should stick to their mantra they go ahead and ignore release dates, honestly just show what a shit company they are, ill buy from anyone else before I give them a dime.

Well, I’ve had totally opposite experiences with the L&Ms around me. Great stores, overall. Probably depends on location? (I think we’ve had this convo before, ha.)

I really like the people at my local L&M, I mean even before today.

Man, I don’t know what they did to you but all the locations in my city are great. I rarely have issues getting in stuff that I’m looking for and the staff are great.

Not my experience but that's my opinion on them all good though that you've had positive experience

The constant camera changes frustrated the hell out of me when many times he's like "I'm going to add this thing" and it cuts to a camera where you can't see the actual unit being operated.

That was my first thought because I was thinking "I want to see the Helix, not you" (no offence), however it was still a good demo and I saw a few touch screen interactions that I hadn't seen before, so I found the video informative, and I was pleased with the sound of the amp models.

Which city are you in ?
Mine have been pretty decent too

I’d be interested in how the release date was conveyed to these dealers. Seems like MF / GC fell prey to the same situation that this Canadian dealer did. Not trying to be mean or critical, but at what point is it on L6? Honestly asking. Again, this is meant to be a conversation, not an argumentative statement.

“If one person calls you a horse, ignore them.
If two people call you a horse, start paying attention.
If three people call you a horse… buy a saddle.”

Again, I got all the respect in the world for L6, and @Digital Igloo, but this is starting to be a trend. Wonder what was so ambiguous to the point where multiple dealers messed this up?

One messed up, some others didn’t want to end up with canceled orders based on the idea people could get it sooner somewhere else.

It’s been more than one dealer. MF as well as this Canadian dealer.

Don't really care who messed up. Point is folks are getting some units - there are some videos on youtube for the rest of us to check out. It's all cool - just a matter of time.

The 800 sounded great in the Levin’s video. I think I liked all the amps, actually. I sincerely hope we don’t have to wait until late December to check out Agoura first hand.
