Line 6 Helix Stadium Talk

[Sascha Franck]

But guys, why didn’t Stadium get Flux?

Valid question. For a while I actually thought they might even bring it to the OG HX line in some sort of final update.

I don’t know what that shit is, but it sounds AMAZING!!

this doesn’t have as much of “pitch up an octave on each pick stroke” stuff, and if you listen to the band it’s basically rapcore, but the guitar players just makes bananas noises the entire time.

Oh, I literally thought you were making a joke. I didn’t know flux is a thing.

Here you go. This is the IIC+ on the Stadium and Fractal FM3, both at current release firmware. Both run through the same York YA MES OS Mix 01 IR. No reverb or effects or post processing. Settings on both amps are identical. I alternate between the two units with an A/B switcher for each phrase of chords or chugs. I am not revealing which is which until tomorrow. Are there differences? Maybe? None that make any difference to me. I'll use either of those tones. Pick it apart all you want with golden ears, but there's nothing here that couldn't be tweaked into alignment if needed. Oh, and the "feel" is the same to me.

The sequence in the above clip is: A - B - A - B - A - B - A - B

This clip sounds good but I also run my presence control on the real Marks as well as the Fractal literally 10x+ higher than what you are doing here. Between that and the 2x12 cab I was using; that might explain my discrepancies in results.
