Line 6 Helix Stadium Talk

[ian_dissonance]

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 ?

If you assign the “on” effect first with the switch lit then assign the “off” effect second with the switch on and the effect off this should do exactly that. It did on the old hardware anyways.

I don’t know if this helps but the way it works on my Stomp is whichever you assign last is the one that is indicated for that switch on the screen and led ring (and I assume the scribble strip). So first assign the plateau, turn it off, then assign the tank.

I don't care about modelling so much that I spent the entire New Years Eve attacking some random dude who on a forum.

 

[Mooselake]

I definitely slept on the Glitz reverb. I think I tried it for about 45 seconds when it was new and decided it wasn't useful for whatever I was most interested in at the time. It's a situational thing and worked really nice with a cleanish or slightly strained tone out the US Super Black.

Ok this wins the internet for the day if not 2025. Maybe 2026 too

 

[Lysander]

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

Hell, if we had releases of The Modeler Wars more often, this would've never happened!

 

[Sascha Franck]

Can we go back to talking about LED brightness?

You mean the ones being perceived as too bright, which you have proven?

 

[mbenigni]

I went back for a while with a plexi and jcm. I suddenly found myself wanting to record again and there I was. Which cabinet, which mic, should I get a load box, which one, should I try an ox box. Maybe. Which IR? What about effects. AHHH. Back to modelers I went. Full circle about 20 times.

I get as far as realizing I don’t have a tuner handy.

Ftfy

I already have this.... and other amps... and four high dollar rockin' @$$ top of the line modelers!!!

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

Never said I don't care, I've said that I don't use.

 

[[Nathan]]

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

Never said I don't care

Ok

Assuming that with helix stadium is still possible to build chains of snapshots like is possible on OG Helix, if you like to make things a bit more complicated more elegant, you can use snapshots in stomp A or B view and command center, if you are not already using snapshots for other things.

You need two snapshots, one that has reverb A on and B off, and one that has reverb B on and off A off.

Assign snapshot A to the footswitch you like via command center and set it to show snapshot B once is selected. Then set snapshot B to show snapshot A when selected.

You'll have a single footswitch that will toggle between snapshot A and B. Name the snapshots accordingly* and set to color rings as you wish.

* You can name them to show the reverb that is on or the reverb will be on if you press.

To avoid other blocks to be turned on and off by mistake set their snapshot bypass control to off. Do it at least for any block bypass assigned directly to a footswitch.

If you are using other footswitches or an expression pedal to control parameters in of the reverb blocks, to a avoid conflicts set the snapshot control of those parameters to off.

Ok

Oh I see, you like to twist meanings.
Good for you, buddy!



Hint: device is not synonymous of modelling.
Hint2: ....naaa time wasted here

This thread was better when it was about stepping in other people's shit in your bare feet.

Clips or gtfo

Just remember: it's better to be Mr. Big Dick, than having a little dick wiener.

It's not whats you got, it's how you uses its.

Here come the mirrors...

I just wish he'd spend less time laughing and finish the damn books already. It's now 14 years since the last one.

True. Such a shame as they have been superb up to this point.
