Hey there fellow Stadium users.
I've been following this thread some time now ( what a ride) and since the weekend I am also in the game. So far, no issues and loving it.
While I didn't have any Wi-Fi issue, I followed a discussion on the German Helix site that could be a reason for Wi-Fi issues worth mentioning here.
If you have 2,4ghz and 5,8ghz activated on your router and they both are using the same SSID the Helix Stadium connection was always unstable. Turning off or using a separate SSID for 5.8ghz solved the issue for the people.
I have also a separate SSID for 5.8ghz
For the ones with issues, take a look and try it out. Would be great to get some feedback
Cheers
I agree that this is a good idea but can't it at least be "simulated" by linking and bypassing the cabinet with the desired SIC before running the output into an IR?
No I don't think that works right now. At least it doesn't sound like it to me. Loading an IR block always seems to make the amp just use its default SIC.
Back when I really lost my shit and threw my regrettable little childish temper tantrum over the Agoura Plexi, this was the core of my frustration.
I think their point is that software probably shouldn’t be going out the door with broken core/critical functionality. The dual band SSID thing isn’t unusual or crumbling edge tech at this point.
I had similar findings performing tests a couple weeks ago. The SIC selection thing is something they are going to have to expose. Period. In this day and age too many people use IRs to not provide control of this parameter. This should have been in 1.0 and if they aren’t planning to implement it they are going to get laughed out of this space.
I just think of how amazing Line 6’s amp collection is, and the potential of what they’re able to achieve with all their talent, experience, resources, connections etc. Gets more frustrating when it’s internal decisions that make them slip into avoidable potholes.
Thanks man! That really may be it. I like the Helix so not super stoked to move to something else but I have to be able to connect to it. This was way more helpful than that retard post above yours.
Not really accurate. You cared so much you just had to respond…. so yeah.
Are you one of those coming from TGP these days? At least the posting style matches.
When Marshall have reissued their 1959’s, they’ve gone to great lengths to hunt down the most desirable circuits and model versions. The 1959HW is a “pre-July 1969” circuit and IIRC their reference unit was very close in serials to some very famous users amps.
there’s nuance that’s important. If the traditional 68 Plexi is what L6 was going for - they nailed it. My point is that we either need control of bright cap and filtering parameters on that model, or we need a good 70s Superlead to do “that other” Superlead thing. The L6 Plexi is an opinionated take and we’re going to need more variation. I don’t need fractals 10+ Superlead’s or whatever it is, but I need a 70s spec model.
Nah. There is no such thing as a “most popular” version of the Plexi. The 68 is coveted by the Hendrix and EVH guys, but that represents a very narrow take on a circuit that evolved over a couple decades and sounded quite different across those ranges. It’s unrealistic to think one Superlead model with no ability to account for some of those changes would cover all sounds the different variants produce. There are coveted tones from literally each version.
One thing L6 did that I really appreciated with Stadium was to include a SuperBass. I have to give them props because that amp doesn’t get enough recognition.
The 68 Plexi is expensive because the supply is so limited. There were a billion 70s Superleads.
