Line 6 Helix Stadium Talk

I don’t know about golden ears but I have golden nipples.

In all seriousness what does it matter how someone else hears things? They don’t have your ears and vice versa. People hear things differently and people like what they like. The arguing and getting a little bent about someone else’s opinion is really unproductive in the discourse of places like this.

Lastly I don’t get the micro nuancing the sound of these modelers either. They don’t sound and feel like tube amps to me so I let it be what it is… and if I can play with it and have fun when that’s the best option for the gig then that’s all that matters to me. I couldn’t care less about weird top end of squirrels at that point.

It’s not enough for some people to just like the gear they like. They need other people to tell them they did a good job in choosing. I can get a sound I love and will use from pretty much EVERY digital unit made in the last decade, it’s now way more about esoteric features that I’m probably in a minority of using.

That’s probably true for me too. The Stadium (to me) is just more fun to use than the other stuff. So that’s why I decided to move that way.

oh of course for sure, go get one and do it
I just edited your post for lols because.... it's an in-joke from a few months ago re: dsl

Oh yes....

The screaming....all the screaming

“What are the digital dudes up to?”

***Reads three pages of the Stadium thread***

“What are the amp and cab dudes up to?”

Hahah. I could only afford shit amps as a teen and then ‘decent’ digital along and I fully embraced that, the tones were mind blowing compared to what I could get with a budget amp and 2 shitty pedals. All digital has made me do now is get a taste test of the actual real stuff I want, and have been accumulating. Presets are cool, scenes/snapshots are cool, tweaking everything to the decimal point is cool, but they’ll never be as satisfying as just plugging into a good amp, flipping a switch, and being done with it.

I don't even use a modeller anymore other than back up and night practice.
I'm back to full analogue.

AND YOU'VE BEEN ARGUING THIS MUCH ABOUT IT???

Now that’s a really good use of AI.

Now that’s a really good use of AI.

The only thing AI should be used for is 1. Telling me what arcane script will allow me to take a nap instead of doing something manually, 2. Advanced meme creation and 3. Comedic songs.

That’s because I don’t care about modelling, but about more important things in life

Seems like a weird thread to get in an argument then.

Don't agree and not my fault.

Hard to defend your use of time when you’re engaging in heated forum debates about a device you don’t care about

 

[ian_dissonance]

No matter how many times yall post that generative slop I’m not listening to it.

 

[GTR37]

It‘s all your fault. You started The Modeler Wars.

Speaking of that have we not waited long enough @Whizzinby
Surely it time for a year end wrap up

Happy 2026, everyone! Having spent the last five days at various social occasions, I have spent New Year's Eve at home playing my new stadium, and I don't regret it! Caveat, I have a nice coastal trip planned for tomorrow with friends, so I don't feel too much like a shut-in.

Now that it's the new present year, I'm going to ask for one new quality-of-life update for Stadium, which I think would be very easy. Here's the problem. If you use one stomp to on-off two separate items, two separate blocks in inverse state, on-off, off-on, tapping the switch isn't particularly indicative of which one is on and off, as it depends on what block is being highlighted.

It would be great if combined assignments had either A, a stated dominant assignment, or B, an inverse state option for one of the blocks. In my particular case, I have a tank reverb in front of the amp, and a light plateau reverb after just to add a touch of shimmer when the tank reverb is off. I want the plateau to be the default no-light state, and the tank reverb to be the lit active state. But currently there's no dedicated way to do that. A solution for this would be brilliant. What do you think? @Digital Igloo ?

Happy new year, FFS!
