Line 6 Helix Stadium Talk

Strobe tuning mode is where it’s at.

Gotta disagree here. The old one sucked too. I had an opportunity to use both today and they’re both awful compared to literally anything else.

I dont get this. I've got a fractal AM4 in the house. The AM4 tuner works well but I have no problem tuning with the HX strobe tuner at all. I also have an analog turbo tuner that I use for setups. This forum is the only place I've heard people complain about the L6 tuner.

haha! Interesting! I genuinely think the new tuner is just as good as the Fractal one, and honestly, the old one was genuinely hot garbage.

I must be a total-tuner-tard because I’ve been fine with Helix, Stadium, and Fractal’s tuners.

Yeah, I tune fine with the Stadium all day, e'ry day. I personally prefer strobe mode, but as I often let my bandmates record overdubs and basslines with it, they seem to much prefer the standard look of the tuner.

Yeah, I find strobe tuners much easier to use but some folks can't get their heads around the spinning display. I remember letting a bandmate use my Turbo Tuner and he hated it.

I'm totally at home with strobe tuner displays. I have a Peterson Strobostomp. And that tuner is MILES better than either Stadium or Helix. So is my Boss TU-3 and certainly the Fractal tuner. I have no reservations using the Fractal tuner for intonation, but I can barely rely on Stadium or Helix to even tune the instrument roughly.

TC Polytune is best. Luckily Boss just removed that capability via FW update from the GT/GX stuff
