Line 6 Helix Stadium Talk

[GTR37]

Where did you get this image?

If I had to guess I’d say the white one to the right if the 2203 is almost certainly a Jubilee. The amp to the left of the AC30 could possibly be a Super Reverb or perhaps a tweed or brown Princeton or deluxe.

I’m not sure about the third amp.

Super reverb as it’s up with Fenders


I am going to say those 2 look like Marshall variants
Maybe a Freidman

Silver looking one might be a tread plate

 

[Fireproof]

I need to mess with that parameter. Not even touched it.

Same. I don’t even really know what it does. But with Line6’s integrated manual and help text - I’m sure it will tell me once I get there! Pretty cool!

I think someone guessed it at TOP

fender super
Mesa Lonestar
and a some sort of Marshall

I’d love the Lonestar but they better release a Mark or Recto for my friends here not to have a meltdown

And also, IIRC, it’s 7 channels right?

ENOUGH OF THE NULL TEST TALK. What do we think the three new amps are?

The blurred ones have more latency.

I did a thing.

• Amp sound is a Vox AC30 boosted with a Minotaur, using the default cab 2x12 Silver Bell with 67 Cond mic.
• In the first half, the amp sound is fed into a Keeley Halo Core pedal connected via Loop 1/2. The Halo Core is set to Andy's settings at a tempo of 125 bpm, set to wet only mode and mixed at 20% in the FX Loop 1/2 block.

• The second half of the clip is the Helix Halo emulation using some crisscross delay blocks, EQs and phase reversal stuff with some creating routing to emulate the Halo with those settings.

I think I got pretty close to the Halo core sound:

It appears the taper for the feedback controls in the Crisscross delay block are not linear? I guess it's audio taper?

I needed ~43-45% feedback to emulate the Halo core feedback (with Andy's settings) but I need to use 65% in the crisscross feedback values to match it.

WTF is a LUFS

LUFS and LKFS are two loudness measurements standards developed by EBU (european broadcast union) and ITU (international broadcast union) and used in television since 2010 or so. I believe they are now identical, we use LUFS here in Europe.

In practical terms is a way to normalize content by loudness and not peak value.

The LUFS/LKFS measures are k-weighted meaning that not all frequency weight the same (but follow a weight curve based on how humans perceive frequencies).
The LUFS/LKFS integrated measure also ignore quieter portions (gating) if under a threshold value.

TV content (being live or not) has to be mixed and delivered to the broadcasters with LUFS/LKFS measurements within strict ranges in order to avoid big volume jumps within and between programs and to over compression.

When I deliver a mix to a production house (and then to the broadcaster) it must have all the LUFS (and true peak) measures within their specifications otherwise it will be rejected.

LUFS have been later on adopted by music streaming platforms like Spotify and that's why has become "popular" in the guitar community.

No those are usually japanese

Nice!

I'd say bottom right is a Silver Jube, the one above... no idea, but looks to be a combo?

For the Fender one, not interested as only girls play Fender amps.

(I'M JOKING! A JAPE! A JEST!)

Not exactly. DI said two of the three never appeared in a HX product before and that it added up to 7 channels.

The list above only has one new one and six channels.

We'll find out soon enough in a week or three.

Based on the blurred photos and where they are on the list, my guess would be from top to bottom:

• Maybe a fawn Vox AC15?
• Looks like an amp with a short name. No idea.
• Marshall Silver Jubilee?

It's possible they are counting a jumped setting as a channel.

Bottom one is clearly a Recto.

 

[Orvillain]

highlight the specific areas that do not null.

Yep!!!

 

[MirrorProfiles]

Defo looks like a Jubilee, one of the homies here already said it sounds great.

 

[Orvillain]

It could be a Jube. But I really hope it isn't.

I'm hoping the central black blur is a Boogie-esque logo, and the white/grey blurs are treadplate.

 

[Orvillain]

You've depressed me now. It's a fucking Jubilee isn't it. BLERGHHH.

Yeah this is really common across all of the Helix delays. I'm not exactly sure what is causing it, but compare the Simple Delay to a Boss DD7 bog standard digital delay and set them both to 50%

The Helix has far fewer echoes, and the later echoes seem more diffused than the Boss ones. I find it very confusing and distracting myself.

true a Jube and Super would be 4
Then the third has to be a never seen before three channel
Clean Crunch Crush maybe ?
