Line 6 Helix Stadium

That’s cool. I def fall in the camp of let’s get a DR, Mark and JVM before a Revv, but I’ve got to imagine they know those need to be in the queue sooner rather than later.

Yeah, I'm surprised the REVV made it in before any Boogies as well, but if I'm being honest....I dial my Recto sounds (usually goosed with the Precision Drive with the "Attack" knob up a good bit) in a way that's in the vicinity of where the REVV Red channel starts by default.

Just like I love playing with different modded Marshall variants, but when I listen to my Placater, Ecstasy, EV Panama Blue and Soldano patches back to back.....I dial each of them toward a single type of tone too.

That is probably my most important takeaway from yesterday. To be honest, I previously considered this feature to be more of a gimmick. Nice, but not particularly important to me personally. And now I was sitting there in front of the device, moving the cursor back and forth on the touchscreen... and I instantly understood how great it actually is. Especially when I think about recordings... ‘Hey, I need a sound here that’s kind of like...’ swipe, swipe, done!

Damn, I feel so hyped today, almost like a little kid waiting for Christmas. I can hardly wait for the day when I can finally order a Helix Stadium (non-XL, because I want to put it on my desk).

Thanks again @Digital Igloo for being such a nice and approachable guy.

Plus, like so much of the content in Stadium, it’s an opportunity to learn a few things. Swipe to a good sound in Focus view, pay attention to what the params are doing, and voila, you know more about that amp/ effect!

I wasn’t hip to Revv until I stumbled on that Aaron Marshall preset in FAS. That goes really hard.

I’m with you on that though, we are looking for 50+ amps to do that one tone we like.

Its game over for all the competition guys, Glenn liked the Helix Stadium a lot! In all seriousness, I had a chat with him after he tried it and he genuinely was impressed with the realism of the amp tones. I thought that was pretty cool! In his words he said "gotta give credit where credit is due".

See? That sounds great, and it works. I just shouted that at my daughter, then gave her a hug. She’s a bit baffled, but she’ll be alright.

In his words he said "gotta give credit where credit is due. Until the camera starts rolling, of course. Then I’ve got to bash it for the clicks!".

FTFY.

It’s something I think you’ve never compromised on, Jon. You’ve not done the silly over the top reactions to something, to get the clicks.

Can't wait for you to get yours if they're not making that happen already.

You'll undoubtedly give us the high gain showcase we've been craving.

The “problem” with Jon is that he’s got the blessing/curse of everything he does sounds pretty damn awesome. They should also give it to someone who can’t dial in a tone to save their life, but somehow still have a YouTube channel.

Didn't you hear? Jon's going to beta-test the Agoura version of Badonk for us!

We don't say such things in Germany. We hate people. We hate ourselves. We hate life.

No you don’t. You at least like the people who created the Helix Stadium, and perhaps your local barista.

I think I need to have somebody check the foundations of my house first!

I like coffee, but hate the barista.

There is a great bit on the German language in the new Andrew Santino stand-up special

TWO HOT MITTS!!!

"Just use the Placater" and I'm not doing that in 2025.

But you might be in 2026!

Well, I tried.

This is fantastic.
