Line 6 Helix Stadium

I kinda feel acknowledged...

F*** if you Laxu, James Freeman and Mirror are on the beta team it won’t ship until June 2026

But imagine how the previous units would've looked like...

as i really really do not have anything to say to contribute to these fine and interesting discussions, i will try to only post one unnecessary post on each page. Hope that’s contribution enough.

With all the Helix/HX devices I've had so far, I've had pretty nasty USB ground loop problems that could only be solved with a third-party isolator (iFi iDefender) that I had to buy separately.

Similar here. Didn't buy any filter stuff, though. They also only seem to occur in some scenarios. And by now, I always only open the editor when I want to transfer some stuff or set up an initial patch.

In the Line 6 lab

Laxu: “nope… you can’t release it… ui needs more fixing with, or just erase it and show me another one”

Line 6

James: “nope… stall the release another month and get me Ben… I need him to revisit a few caps a few hundred times over until they’re good”

Line 6

Mirror: “what the hell is wrong with you people, why did you bought this amp? Have you had this amp for this long and not asked me about it…. wtf… roll that shit out of here please. Be gone with it… get me another one… but the same one”

Line 6

Tim: “I’m going to buy it…..

Another feature I was pleased to hear about is the Wi-Fi connection to the editor software. With all the Helix/HX devices I've had so far, I've had pretty nasty USB ground loop problems that could only be solved with a third-party isolator (iFi iDefender) that I had to buy separately. Apart from that, all the USB ports on my iMac are already occupied, so I'm happy about any device that can be connected wirelessly.

Sounds kind of contradictory that I pointed out the importance of fast USB drivers a few posts ago, doesn't it? I am talking about different use cases, though.

This actually brings up another question from me: are those amp control jacks isolated to avoid the ground hum the current Helix has?

Has there been word of how many snapshots are on Stadium?

 

[Karl Houseknecht]

Going to guess same as Helix since we have the same number of footswitches.

I'm not sure if I understood that correctly, but I think they said there would be like twice virtual footswitches. If anyone actually got that, I'd like to know if they meant we could have 16 stomps or 16 snapshots divided in 2 pages.

We can joking aside those 4 are guys that you absolutely want looking and scrutinizing your product because they have good ideas and will point out things you may have thought were maybe not that important

I think double the stomps was mentioned, but that's an interesting question about double the snapshots.

Ya I thought it was a virtual A/b
The eight switches that are not bank mode tap
I believe DI said they operate in 3 ways Tap / Hold/Toogle
The toggle would obviously be between 2 states be that FX or Amps

BTW does current Helix do this I thought it was just tap

Has there been any word from DI or other Line 6 insiders confirming a future Helix Native with the agoura modeling is going to happen.

That seems like a no brainer to me. That, and an updated Stomp.

This is where they said it:

Still don't fully get it xD

I disagree. It was posted on his own company forum and he was just letting his customers know Fractal is not dead yet and is actively working on new and better stuff. Customers should be happy for the competition.

Now, I’m not sure more DSP power is top of my wish list for next generation Axe-Fx devices, UI update gets my top slot, I also won’t say no to more DSP. Especially at the low end like FM3.

Thats cool. We'll have to agree to disagree :)

There are two Stomp modes—A and B, each one with 10 assignable switches. And if you set Control A, B, C, and D to be footswitch ins, you get a total of 24 stomps per preset: 10+10+4. Snapshots are currently still 8 per preset.

So basically could you toggle between 2 amps DLX/ Revv
Just with 1 step

Sure but you've been able to do this in Helix/HX from the beginning. You could also toggle between two amps from a single switch in POD HD500.
