I don't get why everyone is so F'n butthurt over an accurate generalization.
1.The concept of an all in one work station existed before this.
2.That's a fact. This will be much more advanced due to TECH marching on.
3.It's a product the marketplace has been asking for for a while
Take a bow and shut the F up alreay.
It wasn't a dig. "recreated a modern version" of the concept.
So y'all can **** me, you oversensitive bunch of crybabies.

One of you definitely appears to be butthurt, but it’s not the one you seem to think it is…

Wow I replied too quick, should have finished reading his meltdown.

Conflating a multitrack recorder with a live automation engine because you believe they're the same type of "workstation" is... let's say egregiously shortsighted.

Unless this is all about provocation for provocation's sake, clearly you'd have an equal problem with any other company making:

• A modeling amp
• Any instrument-centric plugin
• Any plugin that emulates real hardware
• Any plugin with a skeuomorphic design
• Any sophisticated multi-model effects pedal
• Any online tone library
• Any online guitar lesson library, with or without commercial songs
• Any audio interface with built-in DSP to minimize realtime latency
• Any subscription-based model
• Any organized method of sharing presets or other content online
• Any digital instrument wireless
• Any digital vocal wireless
• Any music accessory for smartphones or tablets
• Anything with TRS MIDI
• Any MI product with realtime, online, crowdsourced content
• Any MI product with mobile, wireless editing
• Any hardware platform-compatible plugin

Because Line 6 did all of these first, at least within the guitar/bass gear space.

I have aprox the same shoe size, but I´m sure I´m much clumsier than you. For me, the Stomp is cramped. Helix LT was the limit for me (70 mm). I start to feel comfortable with 72 mm (Boss MS-3).

Besides, with 400 mm long, I can see a lot of space wasted in the sides. It could have perfectly been spaced even at 75 mm, which would have been fantastic.

Even when I find these 2 units stunning, and knowing they´re going to be great (well, We still have to hear tones and proxy performance), for me the footswitch spacing is a big fail. They could´ve done it much better. Really disappointed at a personal level. I´ll see you all enjoying your awesome Stadium while keeping my eyes in other alternatives...

Probably has to do with the PCB boards and all that and the switches sizing and things like that with the boards underneath the switches maybe

Don't waste your precious forum time talking with him when we could be talking about the Stadium

Yes, but will you or will you not be shipping Helix Stadium in a tote bag filled with vegetarian chili?

I appreciate the detailed and polite roast lol

@Digital Igloo i know there’s probably very little you can say about it now, but is there anything more you are able to divulge re: Agoura?

In particular I’ve always found the lack of small brown and tweed fenders (brown or tweed Princeton, brown deluxe, etc) curious in Helix. Somewhere along the way Ben let on that some of the smaller and simpler amps are the hardest to model due to the interactions within those old circuits.

I’m wondering if you all have found Agoura to cover these areas more effectively?

Have there been any big unexpected surprises or things you’ve learned about circuits due to you’re work with Agoura?

I just really want to know the 16 models
We know DLX , Ac30 modern
XtC , 800 , Revv

That 5 11 to go

BRB. Gotta hit the grocery store...

I dunno I never go by sound samples of a unit based on youtube so many factors that wont represent the tone you hear
it might give you a general idea but thats the extent of it
best tool is in your environment with your gear and your hands
I think all top tier models can sound really great when you tweak to your liking
IMOHO

Cheers

Exactly this when the influencers in pro line 6 guys on YouTube get this and rave about it how it sounds so much better and different than the helix which they will do no matter what you just can’t trust these people anymore
Of course, the back pedal and say well no the helix regular helix is still very good blah blah blah blah blah you know the routine

Given that the AC30 is a different one than the one currently on Helix, I'm holding out hope they have some unannounced new goodness in the other 11 that are unknown too.

FYI, the new business model, seems to be annouce a product months before it's fully capable.

And the new consumer model is to pass judgment months before using said product?

Target?? Dude, are we reading the same thread?

I would love to be the "target" of so much praise and adulation.

your overuse of “…” and lack of grammar despite typing on an electronic device that fixes that shit for you tells me that you have more liver spots than you do years left to live so, have a great one with all that money and shit attitude you fuckin boomer

Hey... woah... go easy there, man...

(Ellipses are the new liver spots. Who knew?)
