Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

[SillyOctpuss]

Xenomorph fuzz is a stone cold classic for me.

It's the only digital fuzz I've ever liked.

Friday, baby!

Oh WOW!

My unit is on the way - just shipped from GC! It's amazing because I switched from MF to GC (better rewards) exactly 2 weeks ago and it still worked out!

My first time ever ordering something early - usually I wait 3-5 years before getting something like this. There goes all my self discipline - but I do think this unit is worth it. Can't wait to get it!

Shipped shipped or just label creation?

 

[AlbertA]

Some great sounds here too, all the chugs you guys wanted here as well.

Fluff + Scarlacci combo

I am not a Fluff fan on some videos but without effects just that 5153 red is Insane sounds like your in the room w it

Shipped shipped or just label creation?

Just checked - it says 'shipped' in my GC email but then it says 'label created' on the UPS website. However, when I talked to GC, they said that the UPS pickup for today would be in the 3pm - 6pm timeframe and it would actually be leaving the warehouse. Looks like it may be here this Friday / weekend.

A real surprise to me - for some reason, I'd just assumed in the back of my mind that I wouldn't get it till Feb 2026 because of my late order (even though my GC advisor told me that they had plenty of units available).

Either way - great news!

It's funny how opinions can differ. I never truly was happy with the amps on Helix, but the Fuzz stuff, specially the Fuzz Face - IMO - is the best digital recreation of the effect, behaving remarkably close the real ones. The way it reacts to the volume pot of the guitar is quite amazing. Of course we need to take into consideration how different the circuit can differ, but it does have all the stuff that makes me recognize the Fuzz Face thing. And you need to also be careful about the input impedance. Years ago I made this video to showcase the fuzz and the importance of the input impedance.

What fuzz is this btw? I'm not a fuzz lover - but this is a very musical fuzz....more to my taste.

Big EJ vibes. Great playing!

I really did not have "The Worship Tutorials guys putting out the best high-gain showcase at launch" on my bingo card, but here we are.

I mean, to be fair, they had a ringer helping them out, but still....

It's a good day. After my Sweewater rep said mine probably wouldn't ship until after the 20th when the next batch arrives, he just texted me and said it ships today. Someone canceled. I wonder who that might be?

He was not with Sweetwater I don’t think

He "changed" his preorder to the non XL

SHOCKED

WHERE IS TIM TO LET US KNOW OF HIS ORDER STATUS

Post in thread 'F@ck it. Wallet opened. Helix Stadium XL inbound…'

Tuesday at 3:54 PM

I decided to change my order from the XL to the regular stadium because I think I should wait until the OS is more advanced so when the regular stadium comes out next year, it should have a further advanced OS for me to actually use it and like it because I’m worried I’ll freak out like I did with the helix originally and return it too soon

I don’t know what’s more stupid the fedora or the band name “The Midnight”

100% the hat. Band names are almost unilaterally bad.

Stop watching vids, stop watching vids, you're an amp guy and don't even use your OG Helix now . . .

you're also about $1,950.00 short of $2k right now, lol

It's the Arbitrator fuzz, it's Helix's Fuzz Face model.

Thanks!

Is that supposed to be the manual? I see Helix stadium logo, a picture of both Floor models, another picture about a declaration of conformity, and then some legal text. I've tried to find links but nothing.

PS: I'm on mobile, but I've also tried "view as desktop".

Attaching a screenshot of what I see.

@Digital Igloo couple questions, for your spare time .

1. Why are the Agoura amp models listed as "Panama Red, Panama Blue, Revv Purple, Revv Red" when those are just different channels of their respective amps?
2. What's the screen made of? Hopefully more robust than the shit plastic FAS uses.
