Line 6 Helix Stadium Talk

[Karl Houseknecht]

the Helix models sound and feel better to me.

Than what?

Than what?

I interpreted that as him saying he prefers Hx over Agoura.

 

[jmcecil]

Internet code for "wife found out and have to send it back"

 

[EOengineer]

For as long as modelers have been iterating there have been folks that prefer prior gen models. It’s all personal preference. There are others, like myself, who prefer agoura. People should use what inspires them.

 

[jmcecil]

I was just kidding .. I have no problem with whatever people decide is right for them.

But , if all the HX models are in there wouldn’t it be useful just to have a new touchscreen and much more powerful Helix w proxy and a bunch of other stuff coming ?

Not sure if you saw my reply to @banned, but I was able to resolve this by hitting the back button and rejoining my network. Then when it advanced to the QR code step, one had populated. Felt like maybe a bad handshake.

Yeah saw that and it didn't resolve my issue. I just skipped all that and hit the "don't show this again" when it boots up. Hoping they have a resolution in a update.

Agoura.

Yes, but I didn't want to have to pay $2000 just for the privilege of doing that.

Don't have too much interest in Proxy...unless they've figured out the equivalent of liquid profiles and can integrate the tonestack (which I suspect they will)

I think so, yes.

Bummer. FWIW in 1.1 you’re able to go into the settings and access network settings. Not sure if it’s there is the OS they shipped. I’m pretty sure that device thinks it’s on the network when it isn’t. You could log into your router and see if it handed out an IP address to your Stadium. The next thing I’d try is to have it forget the network and re-enter everything.

 

[GLiDE-BPM]

shipped OS for me let me manually connect to my router in the Preferences menu I think it was. Then I forgot I had to log into my Line6 account on the Stadium to get the firmware update,.

 

[Rocco Crocco]

@ejecta have you tried a hard reset?

I initially updated through the app. I also selected that same option and skipped initial setup.

Then after clicking through menus I configured the wifi (isolated network) and when I went to do Account login on the device, I had the same white no QR code screen. Then I left it overnight on. Trying today again, it didn't even showed the screen, it just popped a screen saying it didn't have connection (but it did).
I went to wifi, disconnected the network and reconnected again - that seemed to do the trick, I got the QR code screen and was able to login fine.

Yeah I think this is confirming my hunch. Getting wireless devices to connect to who knows what plethora of routers isn’t a perfect science. Reconnecting should eventually get it.

 

[EOengineer]

Am I losing it or did agoura kill off the bias parameter? That’s interesting and a little bit unexpected.

 

[jmcecil]

hard to say but if simply rebooting the router fixed things, that sounds like a DHCP problem .. maybe connecting to a band on initial connect that isn't configured for how the stadium does IP requests, or accepted the stock IP because it couldn't find DHCP etc.. many, many permutations.

I wasn't seeing Hum either .. and i turn all the hum settings to 0 on every patch.

 

[jmcecil]

Wooohooo my shipment of stale candy arrived!!!

 

[Mooselake]

There should be a login button on that screen. Sign in with your L6 account.

Yeah, iirc I just touched the linr.com/go, or pressed in that empty box, and that took me to a screen to log into my line6 account.

Yep tried rebooting several times disconnecting the network and nothing helped. Not the end of the world and it's a new product so these things are to be expected. I'm really liking the unit a lot and the way it sounds. I'm sure they'll get figured out .
