Line 6 Helix Stadium Talk

You mean this online knowledge repository?

Correct. It sends the signal to Paths A and B evenly. Helix/HX works the same way; what would you expect it to do instead?

Too much to read through

When I first came across that, I expected the signal to B to be muted.

Yeah, this ^

Sorry for the slightly off topic!!

Good afternoon Digital Igloo/ Eric! Are the Stadium XL units still shipping to US distributors for order fulfillment between now and Christmas? Reason I asked, I received mine early on from AMS around Nov. 21, but there was an issue with the unit and had to return to American Musical Supply. They assured me I would be at front of the que since I had already received my Stadium early on. But it doesn't look like any of the US distributors are receiving any over the last 10-12 days or so based on their "availability" information. I'm just anxious to get mine replaced!

Thank you sir for any insight! Kind regards!

Sorry; no idea. If you ping Frank on the FB group, he'd have a much better idea than I.

Thanks brother! Appreciate your quick response!

There are four different types of Splits—Y, A/B, Crossover, and Dynamic. For A/B, bypassing the block gets you the Y state for a two-stomp A/B/Y switch (one assigned to Route To and the other to Split bypass). For Crossover and Dynamic, bypassing the block disables the special path handling. We erred on the side of maintaining bypass behavior consistency for all split types.

Sorry for going slightly off topic here, if you don’t mind, I’m still a little confused about split paths. My question is for HX but it should apply to Stadium too I hope. Let’s say I want to have a split path for parallel reverb and delay, but I want to be able to switch either one on and off with their own separate footswitches. How would I configure that so that for example if only the reverb is active the delay path is disabled, or vice versa, and so that when both are switched off the signal isn’t getting doubled up by the parallel paths?

@Digital Igloo , perhaps I'm remembering incorrectly, but when I used to run dual amps in full stereo, I noticed that once I panned left and right at the split, I'd have to put in a gain block of +3dB before it to keep the signal level the equivalent of just going straight with mono.

I still think there's some ambiguity whether a stereo signal is hitting an amp harder than a mono signal, or if it's just collapsing down. Let's take the following examples:

1. I put a mono transistor tape in front of a Deluxe Reverb, everything is fine.
2. I then put a stereo transistor tape in front of two Deluxe Reverbs split to paths A and B. The split and join are A left 100, B right 100 for full stereo.

For 2, do I need to put +3dB gain block before the split to keep the signal input level to the amps equivalent to mono? Do I need to adjust the join dB level to keep the total output level equivalent to mono?

I've turned off the auto-assign block to switches. I added a deluxe looper to an empty preset, then manually assigned it to a switch using the capacitive hold mechanism, and no matter how much I mess with it, the looper will not record. It activates, but when I'm in the looper view, none of the switches do anything.

So baffling.

I feel seen!

@Digital Igloo instructions were spot on!

We did change the pan laws in Stadium, but I can't remember how.

Fixed in 1.2. Not too much longer now.
