Line 6 Helix Stadium

[mbenigni]

If the fm9 next version has a touchscreen it will make things interesting

It's not just a matter of slapping a touchscreen on, though. I'd put my money on Agoura modeling eclipsing Cygnus (or whatever FAS' latest is called) before FAS develops a UI/UX to rival the Stadium's. Thus far, FAS hasn't even expressed an interest in trying. But anything's possible I guess.

The best part is you don’t have to think about it when stadium has both. How many rigs do we see with tonex in the loop of a fm3 or other device, just having it all in one is very smart.

Just gimme a SLO, 800, and Mark IV.

See that’s why I find you not liking the 5150 , Invective and 5153 interesting as they are all based on that SLO cold clipper circuit ,so the gain structure have a lot of similarities IMO

Get ready for this: I like Rectifiers too.

If any of the 5150 variants sounded like an SLO to me, I’d probably own one. I’m obviously well aware of the lineage of all of them. I just have never gelled with 5150’s.

Just so I’m being clear, I’m not saying no one is allowed to like them. I’m just saying I don’t like them.

I’m sure there is. No amp appeals to everyone.

that's fair I do not particularly care for a Sunn Model T . but many love that amp

They're a great generic high gain amp. The 50 watter is a GOAT in form factor and functionality.

Conceptually, the 50 W is the perfect amp. Small, based on the Soldano. MIDI.

Good sounds for my ears but the only reason I would own one is because of its size and features.

I'm far too addicted to mids for any of that

I get that. I doubt fas will add a touchscreen but they may make a better user friendly gui

I like how they sound when other people use them. Hate playing through them, real or modeled.

I feel bad about talking about this even as @Digital Igloo says Proxy leaves a bad taste in his mouth, but I JUST saw the @2112 video on the new Hotone Verbera convolution reverb pedal.



In addition to having a ton of modes and cool presets on its own, um....this MFer clones reverbs?!?!

If that's the case and that Pandora's box has already been opened, Proxy almost certainly is going to be able to clone time-based effects at some point.

Capturing IRs of reverbs (of real rooms or devices) is something exists since convolution reverbs became available almost 30 years ago.

Has been common practice in the recording studio world for decades and there are IRs of any hardware reverb imaginable.

Well, Cliff from Fractal said they were working hard on a new device that would make all modelers look like a Game Boy. I would expect that to include a totally new UI.

  • Talent Boost. You know this is the most requested new block.
  • Shred block to make you play faster.
  • Jazzifier. Plays the wrong note twice randomly.
  • Autotune. When your bends or vocals just don't land. Or you want to make your voice sound like a bad video call connection. Up to you.
  • Cork Sniffer. Adds a randomly occurring voice to the signal that says things like "That doesn't sound like my real tube amp", "Real men play tube amps" or "I can hear the squirrels!"
  • Black Metalizer. Adds noise, sound clips of screams and 200 bpm double bass drums to the background. Also applies two Metal Zones in series to every guitar signal chain.
  • Freestyle. Adds an AI generated freestyle rap on top of what you play.
  • ChatGPT block. When you absolutely can't make decisions without the help of AI.
• Additional column C: 1
  • New amp model generator. Because some people will never be happy with what they have, it will generate a random amp model based on what's on the market, put a nice description of it including its boutique price tag. Why yes, this is totally an accurate amp model of that one-of-a-kind amp that you've never played but saw going for $10K on Reverb.
