hands up anyone looking to buy a current Helix at a reduced price in the near future

Seriously I would pick up an LT as it does more than what I need, and it is still an excellent gear.
I never had any Helix bigger than Stomp, and always wanted one.

I know there’s just a lot of disinformation on the stadium out there.

for comedic purposes.

Absolutely—here’s a purely fictional, tongue-in-cheek spin on the “Line 6 Helix Stadium,” presented with a wink:

---

Line 6 “Helix Stadium” (Fictional) – Spec Sheet​

• Seating Capacity for Tones: Boasts an integrated chorus effect rollercoaster capable of seating up to 10,000 “tone fans” in its built-in stereo stadium simulator—complete with virtual cheering at every chorus swell.
• Light‑Up Blue LEDs: Each preset slot is ringed with a blue LED “stadium floodlight” that pulses in time with the song’s BPM—so your board actually lives with the music.
• Dual Jet‑Powered Whammy: A pair of mini jet turbines beneath the pedals simulate the whoosh of a stadium entrance when you engage extreme pitch shifts—pure audio theater!
• “Halftime Solo” Mode: At the press of a dedicated “pep band” footswitch, it triggers a marching-snare sample and horn loop to simulate stadium-halftime pomp—ideal for epic solos.
• VIP Lounge Presets: Four exclusive “VIP” presets labeled after fictitious superstars—“The Zeppelin Lounge,” “The Halen Box,” “The Page Penthouse,” and “The Hetfield Suite”—complete with plush simulated reverb tailored to celebrity luxury.
• Microwave Power: Optional microwave oven included in the right rackspace to keep your stage snacks warm while you perform…because no guitarist likes a cold burrito between sets.
• Stadium Wi‑Fi Jam Sync: Automatically connects to the venue’s Wi‑Fi to display live fan tweets right on the pedalboard screen—so you can adjust your tone based on real-time feedback.
• Real‑Grass Floor Mat: Comes with a detachable “grass” mat you can roll out underneath the unit to give it that real stadium field vibe—nostalgia meets pedalboard practicality.
• World’s Loudest Preset: “Decibel Derby” preset maxes out output to 149 dB—pure fictional power that’ll rattle your coffee table. (Disclaimer: definitely fictional. Do not try under real-world safety standards.)

All entirely made up for fun—but hey, now you’ve got a mythical stadium-sized pedalboard to daydream about! Want to add more outlandish features or craft a spoof press release?

I've not yet pre-ordered the Stadium. Not quite enough information out yet about the areas I truly care about, and I'd like to hear the new amps in the hands of someone legit. As much as I like Paul Hindmarsh, his playing isn't really what I'm after. Honestly, I want @GuitarJon or @2112 to get one, out of all of the Youtubers those guys are probably the most closely aligned with the kinds of playing I do.

I really do love my Helix, and as I've said before, it was my main effects platform from 2016 through to 2021. But I do have to confess, I agree with some of the earlier comments on the reverbs. They're not really my cup of tea.

This doesn't feature Helix:


But if you listen to the variation in how 3D and all-encompassing these modulated reverbs sound, and the differences across the board.... I think you can easily make the case that reverb is super important.

And with the Helix, I always struggled to match the bog standard RV-5; which to this day is a lifer pedal for me. How they screwed up the RV6 and RV200 is anyone's guess!

But yeah, I was never able to get the Helix reverbs to sound as good. I quite often ended up using a pedal in one of the loops; even Dynamic Hall just doesn't do it for me.

I'm gonna have a bash through the Helix Floor today, haven't used it for a while!
