Line 6 Helix Stadium

It’s not a blame thing at all, more of an observation of the steady shifting of how we receive information.

Way back when, the leaders of the church were the only literate ones around. People relied on them to receive information.

Then literacy became more and more commonplace and people were able to read things for themselves without the risk of any “interpretations” from whomever they had previously relied upon to inform them.

Now, Siri, Alexa, and Grok have reassumed the role once held by the early priests. People ask them to get the information for them, and generally don’t question how accurate or unbiased it is.

You can preview the NAM files right on the website.

Which gives you the roughest of the roughest ideas - in the best cases. Sure, it's ok to see what kinda ballpark you're shooting at, but you still need to try most of them out yourself to really tell.

Honestly, within a window, I've had some really good sounding captures from my amps over the years, even the Kemper ones. I generally haven't found many others that I liked out in the world though. For me, I'm always a bit surprised (but also kinda not) at how people are so willing to just use off the shelf captures, without making their own.

I have no idea. Between Kemper, ToneX, and now NAM, I’ve spent WAY too much time sifting through shit, paid and free. It’s a waste of time when I can just do it myself either 1. With a fucking amp modeler or 2. Capturing it myself.

Instant gratification has rooted itself pretty deeply since the internet exploded. People seem to want everything to be handed to them these days.

It manifests itself in many personality disorders.

With the inflationary amount of NAM files (and we're likely only at the beginning), this will possibly become the same as it's been with IRs, namely an endless rabbit hole. Which possibly is the positive aspect of proprietary formats a la QC and KPA - you do at least need the hardware, so not every single hack on earth can upload and share their captures of whatever it might be on Tonezone3000.
Also, with the QC and KPA, you can at least kinda access captures more or less straight on the unit, whereas with NAM profiles you have to download them, possibly prelisten to them in whatever NAM plugin (all of them offering no proper onboard database management) and finally transfer them to whatever hardware.
During the time that takes I would've created a dozen gigworthy patches within any decent component modeling hardware.

Great! Too bad that “captures are stupid” for some morons.

Captures are stupid. Line 6 is only doing it to separate morons from money.

I spent about six years with a Kemper before entering Fractal Land. For me, the Fractal approach is much more efficient for quickly homing in on what I'm after. The caveat to this is that I have a pretty good grasp on which amps to start with, and which thingies to twist and push to get to my desired sound.

You take offense when none was given, the dude just said captures were stupid lol that does not make him a moron ffs

I am a moron. And I’m fine with that.

That dude just spits garbage 24/7, I know I can say some dumb shit sometimes but god dammit

Sure champ. Everyone is stupid. Including Line 6. The market, according to even Line 6, says otherwise. But feel free to shake your fist at clouds. Just use your white-box and STFU. It’s live and let live on your preference… until an asshole says it’s not.

Tribalism overload...
