Line 6 Helix Stadium Talk

It isn't the only amp that has the phenomenon.

@Nathan
we all know what an amp block sounds like without an IR
what happens if you pull cab off completely, does it sound like there is still a cab?

Still sounds like there's no IR but its the same sonic differences. The Legacy is crazy shrill and the Agoura one is mid heavy shrill

there's that mid frequency thing again. I think it's on all Agoura amps. It's welcome for certain amps, in the sense it feels more AITR, if that's what you're looking for, but for the high gain tones, perhaps not so much. For the plexi and Princeton, I like it generally because it's in the direction of the sound I'm driving for. For others not so much.
Like him or not, Leo had a video comparing his Soldano and the Stadium and he struggled with getting it to sound close. (no latency or null tests in that one)
Overall, for the folks that were hoping the Stadium would be a step towards authenticity, I think it's gone the wrong way. Once again, this isn't a debate on if it sounds good or not, because it does.
I think with the focus view lens feature, a good tone can be achievable in seconds. If you are trying to mirror your amp, it may or may not work for you depending on the amp.
Clones are another story. It is up to L6 on where the goal post is. It's pretty good right now. The bugs with the unit itself are more an issue for me than anything else.

Agoura sounds fine. It’s all the amps that sound wrong.
