1. Ah, gotcha. Makes sense.
2. That is awesome!! Just clean with a microfiber cloth then, I assume?

Yep. I just use a glasses cloth.

They also had a buddy test the Agoura Heavy Amps.

Tomorrow it is. Supposedly. We'll see Kansas City. We'll. See.

EDIT: Holy crap! I can link directly to sections in the manual now! This is the first time I've tried this.

Great move making this web based - will be so much easier to pull up info on our phones.

But does it Golf Course?

Does it tater salad?

Way too much talking and level matching here, but someone finally got around to pit Agoura models against HX.

The Agoura 2203 sounds noticeably better, but food ole' HX is no slouch:



Comparison got way closer for the Fender Twin models:



The Agoura SLO 100 does sound much nice to me thou:

We are about to enter the "UPS /FedEx sucks" phase.

Ditto here. That's what we get for following the rules and politely taking our place in line. :)

Still only gonna believe it when I see it on my front porch.

Now where's that backpack?! SW and AMS seem to have it in stock but MF still doesn't. I'm honestly equally excited to be able to dump my dumb cable bag and the Apache case I drag around as I am for the Stadium.

Speaking of a carrying case, I can't seem to find any reliable info on the Stadium XL dimensions. Anybody have those specs?

I'm not a fan of these guys...but I gotta tell ya....those were the best, most representative clips I heard all day. Sounded excellent - every single amp!

I have a tracking number for SW but still no movement on the package. I asked my rep if I could get a quicker shipping and he said no (this was before it was shipped)....even though I offered to pay the upcharge

Again, I'll only be buying guitars from SW moving forward and even then

Anyway, probably early next week for me!

My SW order tracking info shows it is in the hands of FedEx, but this must be a hectic day for everybody involved.

Oh for sure. I'm more just salty that my rep didn't even let me upgrade to a faster shipping. He's done this before

 

[Mongillo19]

Huh my SW package is shipping from AZ. Strange!

About a year ago SW opened a warehouse in Arizona to make shipments to the west coast faster, so most orders going to the west coast ship from there now.

Why? What is it that you'd want to see that you don't already know?

If it's amp comparison clips - they're both very close - might as well go listen to the real amp. The rest is already known.

“They’re both very close” ?
Have you played both? That’s what I’m looking for - to hear their views on sound, how the easy it is to dial them in, “feel” of the amps etc. by A/B’ing them.

There’s no question that the helix UI is superior. Not sure about the amp models yet. Once the influencer/promoted videos die down, we’ll hopefully get some comparisons.

Well I'm on absolutely opposite side of that

So yes, next Tuesday for me oh well, I have family up this week and then a work trip Monday. Tuesday works I suppose.
