Line 6 Helix Stadium Talk

I had a bunch of "Ok" captures yesterday and thought about it this morning. I usually gain up the loadbox level but it wasn't that hot going into stadium. I cranked it and did a few with the levels basically not going above the green level, riding that top line (I actually tested above the level and its also good but it raises the noise floor so Im not going to go above it unless I have to)

This is the same test as yesterday pretty much. No boost pedal just the EVH 5150iii 50w Ivory RED channel with Gain on 7 which is pretty absurd. These are now excellent results considering its a first iteration and there's fixes and optimisations coming. If it was the final product I might have concerns about it but as a developing thing, this is great.

I can hear differences for sure but its a lot better with the levels being hot compared to yesterdays ones, happy with where its at for this release.

(This is also why I didnt race to make a video about this on day1 for clicks...... now that it's working optimally I can work on some stuff)

 
is that a dog barking at 0:25 of the proxy clip? Something going on there. thanks for sharing tho as always
I’m pushing the extremes here to see how it holds up so not surprised at some of that kinda stuff. I hate it when I talk this level of gain and people say “but you wouldn’t do that in the real world”.

Even in this case here no I wouldn’t run this amp on this gain here in the real world it’s more of a test. I’d probably have the gain at 4.5 and run a tubescreamer into it with a noise gate.

Obviously that kinda thing masks the results so I’d rather hear the results warts and all.

Oh damn forgot the all important LUFS and NULL tests /s

you guys are gain monsters. I don't even touch the red channel on the EVH and even on blue, as long as there is enough sustain, it can sit around 3.
