Line 6 Helix Stadium Talk

No. It’s not. It’s finally happening. It’s become sentient and we’re all doomed.

Thanks bud

 

[EOengineer]

Thanks bud

(It’s normal - the flashing is there to alert you that you’ve not yet selected a preset)

 

[AlbertA]

Have you tried turning down the headroom parameter on the crisscross for input saturation?

I haven’t - thanks for the tip!

It finally happened. Someone did it:

Skynet can now officially take over the world and destroy humanity. We're not worthy.

This may be user error or simply not understanding how the new preset/setlist system works, but I keep getting shifted from the setlist I'm working on to the User Presets section. I'm guessing because I'm tweaking the preset? But if I tweak a preset during a gig, I do NOT want to be thrown back into the full User Presets section.

Am I doing something wrong or what? (Gig on Saturday, so it would be great to get it sorted by then.)

EDIT: I just confirmed that it pops back to the User Presets section on save. So if I tweak a preset during the gig and save it, I have to manually go back to the setlist I was in. This can't be how it's supposed to work, can it?

Don't have a stadium but yes, doesn't sound the best way to work.

These are fun just for the hell of it. L6 has already acknowledged boot time will get faster. NDSP has probably also acknowledged it. The obvious difference is that L6 has credibility.

I can sort of see the "why". The preset is saved to the presets list, so it's showing you where it was saved to. That does seem unfriendly though.

Today I bought a Positive Grid Spark Mini and once I learned all the stuff it has, I'd be surprised if Line6 didn't make a Stadium product like this.

It even has an AI assistant to create presets for you from a prompt. And it works really well! Amazing product, and something Helix Stadium could perfectly compete with.

No, it's not supposed to do that. It did that months ago, was fixed, but a regression must've snuck in—drat. Saving a preset while in a setlist should absolutely stay in the setlist.

I can confirm that it does not. Hope that can be fixed for 1.2, but now that I know about it, I can be careful if I tweak a preset and save during a gig.

Just fixed. Should be in tomorrow's 1.2 dev build.

While we have you, do you know how many new factory presets will be in 1.2?

 

[Digital Igloo]

None. Still 64. But All. Presets. Suck.©, so does it even matter?

 

[mikah912]

Factory presets are one of my favorite parts of Stadium. Dead ass.

The included clips save me a LOT of tone hunting time, especially when the band asks me to dial up a bass sound. I just start the clip icon, then keep scrolling through presets/snapshots until they say "THAT one!".

And (sorry for y'all that it leaked because that genuinely sucks) I was looking forward to some rigs in snapshot form for the new 1.2 amps.

 

[Orvillain]

Dead ass.

mmmmm brainrot

 

[mikah912]

mmmmm brainrot

It gets attributed to Gen Alpha brain rot or whatever, but that phrase belonged to the black community waaaaaaay before that.

Anyway, more factory presets please! (until we can load our own clips and focus zones, that is)

 

[TheTrueZoltan!]

None. Still 64. But All. Presets. Suck.©, so does it even matter?

Since every newly added model surely comes with its own Focus View settings, I wouldn't say that there are no new factory presets.

They have the Yamaha THR line.
But I have to agree, my Spark 2 is one hell of an desktop amp. A portable Stadium amp with 4" stereo speakers would be killer.

I have had issues with my Stadium freezing at the boot screen after loading a ton of IRs onto it. I managed to open the editor when it was stuck on the boot screen and the connection held long enough for me to delete a lot of them. It is now working again. Will the unit or editor tell me when I have loaded too many IRs?

Also, can the next editor update please allow us to select multiple IRs at once without having to click on each one? Like with CTRL+A? It took me ages to delete the offending IRs and because I have had issues connecting to the editor over WiFi I was lucky I able to get in at all to be able to delete the IRs.

I think all of these devices should play telephone hold music in the background while booting up, as in this video. Or maybe the Jeopardy "Think!" countdown theme.

(Fun fact: The Jeopardy music was composed by Mirv Griffin. Wahh?)
