Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

[TheTrueZoltan!]

Oh guys, I'm so jealous right now. I still have to wait a few months before I get my non-XL.

 

[bucephalus]

Any word on when the Backpack will ship?

Well, a backpack is always a little behind.

 

[bucephalus]

On the expression pedal?

It definitely was hard to click on my LT

Yeah really hard on my LT also.

Holy shit, utopia has been realised with these knobs. I cannot wait for stadium native (I’m assuming these will never make it to helix native)

Finally getting there, holy ****
Since I'm really not in the market for the big Stadium (until Stomp successor at least) I'm so hoping for a nice Stadium Native plugin.

Sadly, it seems UK retailers aren't receiving stock until next week at the earliest - Andertons originally had a date of the 20th Nov, but that has now slipped to the 25th. Guitarguitar were initially saying they expected stock yesterday, but now they just say "Stock coming soon".

It is particularly painful for me, as I'm going to Cape Town for work for a couple of weeks next week.

PSA for prospective Stadium XL purchasers in the UK - Guitarguitar have stock for delivery tomorrow!

Thomann has removed both Stadiums from their site. It is looking grim for europe.

They're both there. XL expected in 1-2 weeks (can and will most likely be delayed) and regular in a few months.

Both seem to be available online, and shipping in a couple weeks? I recently cancelled my order for the regular Stadium at Thomann thou and placed one with Musik Produktiv instead - which was ~5% cheaper

Interestingly, i just got an email from MP stating "your order is expected to arrive with us on: December 15, 2025 and will then be shipped to you.". I'm cautiously optimistic.

Only Finland then! I didn't want one anyway!

I thought that was a fanny pack?

 

[Aleksi]

Now it's back on the Finnish Thomann site. That was weird. Search still only shows a case for Stadium XL

Andertons are still quoting 25th. If I can walk into GG in Camden tomorrow and pick one up, I will cancel my Andertons order.

You can definitely "click & collect"!

Obviously, it says tomorrow now - earlier on, it did say today.

I very nearly did drive up to Epsom to pick one up, but delivery tomorrow is fine.

Oh man, I’d love to go to Edinburgh to pick up a Helix Stadium.

IT HAS ARRIVED!!!!!

One question I can't figure out: How do you toggle between 8 and 10 stomp switches? I don't do that much tap dancing, so I prefer to be able to cycle through presets without changing modes.

Oh, I've only played two of the presets so far, but damn it sounds good!

Yeah but when I sent a message to the staff, they told me they come in stock tomorrow. That was around 5pm.

Fedex has acknowledged, off the record, that yes they do have some boxes on a truck that they can neither confirm nor deny are moving in my general direction.

There's no 8-switch Stomp mode in Stadium; both Stomp A and Stomp B are 10-switch. We ditched it because eventually, there'll be a better solution and we didn't want methods conflicting with one another. In the meantime, you can assign FS1 to Bank Up and FS7 to Bank Down from the Command Center, but this is per-preset. Easy to copy/paste them into other presets tho'.
