Line 6 Helix Stadium Talk

[banned]

I feel like it will be, but they hired DSP people whose specialty is reverb, so the Helix Stadium reverb slander is probably going to be "Hold my beer" moments for them after the last slate of "Dynamic" reverbs.

I think algorithmic and convolution reverbs should co-exist peacefully in this thang. Same way that Agoura amps and Proxy captures should.

I'd be interested in knowing if Focus View has exposed some optimal/different settings for the Reverbs.

I'm starting to feel like there's a whole pile of "coming in version 1.x" features in the pipeline here, so I'll probably sit and wait for y'all to find the quirks and pitfalls and see if I want one next year.

Totally fair, but when 1.2 drops, we'll do the same with 1.3. When 1.3 drops, we'll do the same with 1.4. When 1.4 drops... Suddenly you're looking at a you-know-who situation.

Yeah I know. I've got a birthday at the end of January so that might be a nice spot to jump in as the smaller HX Stadium should be out...

PS. What do you call the two models internally? Do you talk about the HX XL vs HX? I feel like I have to mention something like "non-XL Stadium" if I want to talk about the smaller one.

Timbuck4?

He's looking for the software to be improved so he won't return it this time. Maybe 4.0 and he might buy?

I did some kind of super wet, modulated, and moist-as-fuck post-rock stuff. Just one take.

There's a band called VyPole, I semi stumbled on some of their chords, so thought it only fair to promote them:

C'mon mate. Fix up.

Well by 1.4 it should be pretty full featured , I am curious to see the Freq of updates obviously not going to be Fractal , but out of the gate it’s impressive with 1.2 slated for December and 1.3 slated for right after Namm that’s a lot of content in a short window

Anyone got on tips on how I get the guitar tone in this?

Tell me more about this. I am hoping for new reverbs and delays at some point.

They have the Lexicon guys or some of that team so cool thing like the PCM90 circular delays etc should be attainable

I mean the song tells you how

They hired a gent named Norm who I think designed algorithmic reverbs for Lexicon and/or Digitech. I believe he's responsible for the "Dynamic" reverbs, and he's likely cooking on new stuff too.

Maybe they'll give it lip service at NAMM when they talk about 1.3? I have zero insider info on that, to be clear.

Here's a clean ambient-ish thing, using US Super Vib, Adriatic Delay in stereo, and Dynamic Hall in stereo:

I'm going to be honest, and kinda forthright.... I don't really like the Helix reverbs. Like, at all. There isn't a single one in there that gives me the horn. I'm definitely going to need to add verbs in the loops.

Adriatic Delay is as beautiful as ever.

Wow... you guys are picky (seriously what is wrong with the Helix tuner? LOL) . I hated the legacy verbs with a passion. But I like the Dynamics verbs just fine. 99% of the time its the dynamic plate. on my patches I dont like spring reverb of any kind at all and shimmer is overdone. I just need good sounding bread and butter plate, room and hall and I think the helix delivers as well as any of the other pedals out there. YMMV

Here's some total silly bollocks. Using the US Princess 76 and the Heir Apparent drive. Transistor Tape for the delay.

Line 6's KoT and PoT > Fractal's, based on actually having owned a real KoT, and a pal who currently owns two (and feels the same way).

Here's another clip. The German Xtra Red now. Through one of @MirrorProfiles 's IRs from his Brit Vintage pack. Using the Horizon Gate after the amp too.

This ones sounding great!
