Line 6 Helix Stadium Talk

[JiveTurkey]

Ben Eller has done some good stuff for Synergy

Dagan the new guy at Andertons

Euge Valovarita who just did packs for Fractal NDSP and Helix his tones are killer

I am actually quite surprised Andertons has not done one yet but perhaps maybe they dont have them in EU yet

Dagan is Russell Brand with a Katana.

Truck is less than 2,000 feet from my house. Looks like it's just driving aimlessly around the neighborhood in circles hoping I'll stroke out from the wait so he doesn't have to drive to my house. Should be "soon" though.

Gorilla was my practice amp too. We definitely need a Tube Stack (TM) switch on the Helix.

I’m waiting for the Marshall Valvestate 100 to get modeled. I miss that one.

My second amp was a Marshall Valvestate but I think mine was a 40w….. looong time ago :)

I don't really think Dagan is a drugged out insufferable twat

How does even have time to play the guitar if he’s making a new video every 14 minutes? Next time make them all buy it like everyone else, lol.

YouTube is one hell of a drug.

Isn't that Line 6's job, and isn't it called Proxy?

For freq. response, we've got classic metrics like RMSE, MAPE, LUFS

I wonder how FEEL is objectively measured. What the key metrics might be?

Old school metrics like rise time, % overshoot...other more advanced metrics like group delay, centroid etc?

Or are folks calibrating primarily on player feedback?

Watching his stuff amidst the flood of Stadium videos lately reinforced for me how far from behind he is in quality and value for his audience. I started watching this one, but the incessant rambling and background hiss had me closing that tab with the quickness.

He’s definitely no Tom Bukovac who can do the minimalist YouTube thing better than anyone.

I watched that Cordy vid in the background and he does an interesting tonal take for him during the X-Y controller section.

My first practice amp was a Kramer brand that was part of my guitar and amp combo we bought from Sam’s Club lol. It was tiny and sounded horrible with maybe a 5 or 6 inch speaker. The Gorilla was actually an upgrade with I think an 8 inch speaker!

My first first guitar and amp was a Peavey T-60 with a Peavey Pacer amp with "overdrive" knob. I later upgraded to a Peavey Heritage twin amp with solid state preamp and a power amp based on 4 GC-6L6 power tubes.

My things massively changed over the course of 50 years ago getting my first acoustic and lessons. Mom rented to own my little Yamaha acoustic and paid it off after I stuck with the whole guitar thing!

Does watching in the background help?

Dude has been on his own roll for a LOOOOOOOONG time

Have any particular in mind?

I'm genuinely struggling to think of some. I have some I want to see that haven't got it...yet (e.g. Leon Todd, Michael Nielsen, The Studio Rats).

But the only names beyond the usual suspects that I can really think of are:

1. Zach Wish. he does mostly amp playthroughs, but he did a full-length demo of Archetype: Rabea a few years back.
2. Kyle Bull (similar, although he'll do more modeling stuff, and he's done some Helix content before)
3. Maaaaaaaaybe Keyan Houshmand? I think he's mostly a NDSP loyalist, but I've seen him review a few plugins from other companies

Who else reviews modelers and has good production quality that you'd want to see?

Zach Wish would be a guy I'd be interested in. Our very own @MirrorProfiles or Nathan, that Aussie dude who you can never fucking tag on this forum, for the riffage. Chords of Orion. Paul Bradshaw. Stefan at The Pedal Zone. Blake Mansfield. A guy that most people probably don't know, Colin Thomas Nicols. Do Noise. Euge Valovirta. John Browne from Monuments. Mark Johnston.

@[Nathan] would be great. Great ear for tone and great overall presentation. John Browne has some great tones and super cool riff style \m/

It's here!!!

If the public is in a feeding frenzy over Stadium release and every early access YouTuber is putting out their video during the first 24 hours so Cordy puts out 3 or 4 in the same time span so he games the system for maximum points. Quality of content is a casualty of the algorithm war.

I recommend you take an acoustic guitar outside and heal thyself.

So at least 3 guys have it now.

Let's have some reviews then - what's the concensus. I need to know whether I should open the box or just return directly to GC!
