Line 6 Helix Stadium

Then, this is my official request for an Agoura original that is the ultimate mod-your-own-Plexi.

Basically, you'd Frankenstein the KWB with the 100-watt Agoura Plexi. But instead of just having it in front as a switchable boost, make it so you place it in different places in the topography. So, post-phase inverter like a typical Jose mod would be one area. Around the V1/V2/V3 could be others. Keep the option to select the type of clipping you want and give us a bright cap on/off option.

Give us tweakable negative feedback/Depth knob too for good measure.

That would be really friggin cool actually a hot rodded plexi

What’s the over/under that between all of us here we could orchestrate and execute a covert operation to “borrow” Hetfield’s crunchberries IIC++ and give it to L6 for a few weeks….you know, for science.

They can do their Agoura thing and then we just slip it right back under James’ pillow??

I know he’s all Fractal this and AxeFx that, but who cares. He probably can’t play Blackened anymore anyway.

So we find a guy who looks like Hetfield, then get him to go to where the IIC++ is stored. He tells the guard/roadie/tech "I just came to pick up my IIC++ amp-ah!" and we should be golden.

Instructions:
1. Get amp.
2. say "yeayaaahhhhhhhh" if you see anyone.

Rare modern amp model request for Agora - Fryette Aether. It's totally one of a kind and can really showcase the touch-sensitive/dynamics capabilities of Agora modeling (if Agora is up to the task of course!)

That's pretty neat looking.

Best Metallica song imo

I don't know how to feel about the reality that I could hear that in my head.

I don't care much for the idealized stuff but this I like!

The KWB is just fantastic and super transparent and will work well. Only other request to add to this - please also include a VARIAC!

If Stadium doesn't dispense ice cream, real important users will never adopt it. Touring musicians need ice cream and that's why they don't use Helix.

I’d love on amps like VH4 and Rectifier and Plexi’s that have had a ton of small circuit revisions over the years to have an option to toggle between them within the same model.

Presumably if the models are running something close to the real schematics in real time it should be somewhat achievable (often the tweaks retain the overall layout and it’s a couple of component values difference).

IMO it’s a good middle ground between exposing the user with too many complex parameters, and giving a bit of customisation that’s tried and tested. It also means everyone has their favourite version of an amp model.

I’m less fussed about (say) James Hetfields amp. All the dumbasses will play it, realise they sound nothing like him, and then blame the modelling rather than the actual amp not really having anything special about it.

This would be amazing but IMO you quickly start to encounter problematic edge cases. If I want to toggle through revision a-g rectifiers, probably not a huge issue. More significant changes, such as the move to 3 channel models, likely becomes its own model or something.

Not saying it can’t be done or isn’t valuable, as I think it would be an AMAZING feature, but may get hairy.

Maybe they can include some Hetfield and Gary Holt DI’s so they can at least hear how good it CAN sound

Fasho! You taking notes, @Digital Igloo? I'm telling you, if this is one of the first Agoura originals, people are gonna lose their minds.

I think it mainly makes sense for amps that have those "some component changes over revisions" type stuff. Dual Rectifiers, Mark II, Mark III, various Friedman BE models, Orange Rockerverbs etc.

 

[ispunk]

@Digital Igloo I know a Stadium Stomp is at least a year to two out *if* one is in development. Just one request. Please PLEASE fight for at least one XLR out. There is no reason for a top tier modeler to not have at least one XLR out.

Oh for sure. I bet they could grey out parameters that don’t belong, or just split them accordingly (so 2 recto models rather than 20). Dual’s and Triples from C-G would be pretty rad.

A lot of multichannel amps are kind of trying to offer what modellers offer and I don’t think I’d care too much about some amps clean channels. Friedman BE, Uberschall, a lot of Peavey’s are just kind of functional basic circuits to fill a need rather than the core of what the amp is about. Not sure I’ve ever used the clean on an Uber, BE100, or Peavey XXX for more than about a minute. There’s definitely a couple of exceptions, but it’ll be interesting if L6 take a completionist route now.

Also am I crazy or did Di say 22 amp models
16 guitar 5 bass did another one get added or was I remembering wrong

I'd really like to see a kind of playground amp. IMO it really doesn't need to be as complexed as the FAS stuff, but what I'd like is:
- Different pre- and poweramp topologies to choose from.
- Two EQs, one pre, one post. (something like the simple EQ would possibly be sufficient already, but adjustable Q for the mids would be welcomed). In fact, it could be two typical BMT tonestacks with the extra midband parameters hidden.
- Switchable boost/dirt (a handful of variations would be fine, bass and treble controls should be included at all times, think RC Booster). Could possibly as well be semi-hidden.

It would be a dream if they could just release their modeling toolset so you could virtually create your own amps. Something like sticking together your own schematic. Real world modeling stuff is probably way to complicated and needs a lot more digital know how than your usual DIY throw some tube amp parts together and tweak until it sound good. But a virtual tube amp construcion kit, that would be fun for some people. On the other side... option paralysis, rabbit hole, less play time.
