Nothing is sacred an NDA is just a suggestion

Despite the clickbait title, this is a cool little video showing creating a preset using a template, and using the XY grid for more ambient effect adjustments.

God damn it, I'm now back to half-mast.

 

[Deadpan]

What is anyone supposed to do with that? You didn’t use the same IR, so there’s virtually nothing anyone could conclude here other than that they sound different just as one would expect them to. Different cab, speaker, mic, mic position, preamp, and who knows on eq treatment.

D

The same IR is used. I sent him the amp only and he added the IR. Also, I sent him the Stadium Amp only with disabled cab.

You can hear the same differences in the original clips I posted but with my IR.

 

[Karl Houseknecht]

Interesting. With the same IRs, I’ve been able to get the same sounds from the Agoura equivalents of the Fractal models using the same settings.

Which amps? Maybe you can post examples with Agoura/Helix Legacy/Fractal?

So, I gotta admit I haven't played with the XY controller at all. But I'm wondering what the use case is? Are people really going to lean over and fiddle with the touch screen during the middle of a song?

It seems like a potentially extremely cool feature; I just don't understand how we're supposed to use it in an actual live performance situation (at least until the iPad mirroring I'm really hoping happens becomes an actual thing).

2203, Revv, Ecstasy. Try it for yourself. I’ve got a dozen or more songs to learn for this coming week. On three different instruments, no less.

Howdy folks! Please try to be kind with me on this problem that I can't seem to figure out. I got my Helix Stadium and was able to get it connected to WiFi, got the update from 1.0 to 1.1 taken care of with no issues. But, I can not get my Helix Stadium Edit to connect via Wi-Fi or Ethernet to take care of manipulating some presets, IRs, etc. on the Helix Stadium unit itself. It simply will not connect. I've tried manual connections, auto-connections,etc. I've never had issues like this with WiFi and hardware/software connections, editors for other applications, etc. And, I'm pretty sure I'm doing something just plain stupid on my part -- apparently! Have any of you just not been able to connect via WiFi or Ethernet once your get past the initial 1.0 to 1.1 connection and firmware update? I would kinda' like some affirmation that I'm not a total dummy. I just cannot seem to get the Helix Stadium Editor to shake hands and be nice with the Unit itself. Any guidance, clarification or similar issues any of you may have had similar to mine? Many thanks in advance for any pointers you can offer. I'm 63, a former validation technician, a user of all Line 6 products esp. the Original Helix from 10 years ago and still holding on to it as a backup, etc. Merry Christmas and good health and well-wishes to you, my friends!

If you can assign it to an expression pedal or even a one-shot button press you could do all kinds of fun stuff.

Guess you missed the examples in the thread of the 2203 being darker than HX Legacy and Fractal then?

 

[Orvillain]

Le sigh. I was going to bloody work today... but it looks like I'm going to be doing a bunch of bloody examples doesn't it. Kerrrissssst.

Hi and welcome :)

I’m afraid I don’t have any particular wisdom on this but mine ‘just worked’ and claims to be connected - hx edit again ‘just worked’ which isn’t helpful to you! Sorry about that.

The only thing I did see was a user who had connection issue similar to yours was advice to make sure it was on the same physical network. I have a wifi extender here and normally I connect everything to that but my PC is actually hard wired to the router so I connected my Stadium to the router WiFi itself, not to the WiFi extender. I don’t know if this is significant or not but, as it works, I’m not going to poke it with a stick! If you look back to the early part of this thread you might see a few folks who struggled but I can’t remember if I saw the hx connection issues mentioned here or somewhere else…..

There’s also the 1.2 update due to drop sometime before Christmas so that might cheer things up too but you’ll have the chicken and egg of needing to be on the WiFi to get it!

Good luck with finding a fix - hope you get it working.
