Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

[Karl Houseknecht]

Not much of a chronicle. More of a pamphlet.

I'd say more like porn.

Hahahaaa! What's funny is that post was the genuinely the calmest I've been in weeks.

"DID YOU JUST PLUG A QUAD CORTEX INTO YOUR HX STADIUM?!", Digital Igloo asked calmly.

 

[Fireproof]

Mine said the opposite. He said they are waiting on L6 to give the word. No date so far.

Ha - figures!!

Can't ever get a straight answer!!

Legacy effects from XX4 and MXX are still in Helix Stadium.

Also note that HX amps aren't all going into a Legacy subcategory. Amps only get moved when an Agoura version supplants them. So given that we started re-modeling our newest and best HX amps in Agoura, amps in the Legacy subcategory on average sound better than the non-Legacy HX amps. Weird now, but it'll make sense later.

Tx a lot, DI. I'm planning on selling my beloved Helix Floor and replacing it with the Stadium XL, and this is one of the answers I was looking and hoping for.

The amp's point is not weird. As you explained it, make a lot of sense. Good to know, tx!

In related news - Frank just posted in the FB group 3 hours ago an emoji of a plane and 3 guitars. Hmmm....

I'm assuming December for my order to get to me and I'll just be pleasantly surprised if it's earlier

My rep seemed pretty certain that tomorrow's the day when they start fulfilling orders from the first batch they've received from Line6. I spoke to him an hour ago. He checked the shipping details and said it'll be in my hands by Thursday.

I just heard back from my MF rep:

"From what I gather, the Line 6 Stadium are delayed until Dec. What we have is just an estimated date anyhow. But the new window does reflect to be within the next 30 days."

I don't know what happened to the thousands of units MF had allocated. Can't trust anything these people say.

Oh, well. I've got the Sweetwater Day One preorder that never got canceled. It'll be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.

Having spent some time in call centers, this could very easily be interpreted as "we fucked up big bad a couple weeks ago and management says this is all we're allowed to say on the matter until this shit lands on your doorstep"

It's also possible there is a delay - though that doesn't even feel like an appropriate designation since we didn't have a firm date to start with.

Just curious what date you ordered?

 

[LP59]

The day of the announcement.

I will be some kind of pissed if I'm not on the day 1 ship list

Man. I just checked my Sweetwater order, just in case — and it is no longer showing. Apparently, the Sweetwater rep just got around to canceling it after I told him to do it five days ago. Gonna have to start calling him my MF rep, too, only in his case, MF won't stand for Musicians Friend.

 

[jmcecil]

LOL, this is new on my invoice ... at least I can get the backpack

 

[LP59]

The status on mine changed today from "Waiting for Items" to "Ready to Ship". (Order placed 6/11/25).

Not looking like you will be. I ordered mine 6/11 and still waiting for items for me as well. I messaged my rep back 3 minutes after he offered to get me in line

All these guys are most likely seeing stadium Floor
There was a Japan site saying stadium floor was shipping
December 16th I would be willing to bet some of these late December shipping targets are plain stadium

 

[Mongillo19]

However my rep just emailed me and said it will be shipping tomorrow "outside an act of god"

Less than a month after XL and before winter, when it's supposed to launch. I dunno...
