Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

[dbagchee]

I would generally agree. But I trust line 6’s warranty enough to order from musicians friend.

Not sure if this will apply to Stadium but you were able to get an extra year of warranty on Helix just by registering your product:

Hopefully it will be similar for Stadium so you aren't restricted to Sweetwater to get a 2 year warranty.

I emailed my rep and said others are getting price matched and if he can't I'm switching reps and ordering from MF.

If not, a kind person did send me a code

I just registered my used Rack and it shows a year of warranty on it.

Doesn’t anyone want to wait to hear how the damn thing sounds ?

It’s going to sound awesome. You can get awesome sounds for $80 now. It’s the other features and GAS everyone is preordering.

 

[EOengineer]

It makes sound? I just thought it was fancy home lighting this whole time. Mines been under a lampshade since I bought it.

There will be a purplillion videos and clips before any retailer collects a dime.

Well if you preorder and get 330$ off with coupon they don’t charge you until it ships anyhow right? Plus sometimes you can get 6-48 months financing on a gear card

There's enough buffer to flip it without losing money if the sound quality is not there.

And this way, I get to put it through its paces with my own guitars and my own 0-3-5 riffs and Palm mute chugs.

And I mean it’s got a better gooey than the original helix and if there’s a new engine, it’s gotta sound better right that’s what evolution is all about so chances are if you love helix now you’re even gonna love it more plus there is also a chance or if you never really got along with the helixthere’s an even better chance that this time around you will if it’s as advanced as they say compared to the last iteration

I found a 15% MF code from Coupon Cabin that I got to work and put in a pre-order. I checked and it no longer works, so I guess it was a single use one, otherwise I was going to share it. I tested out several from multple other sites and that was the only one I could get to work, so I guess I got lucky.

I considered trying to get Sweetwater to price match, but I didn't really like the last time I had to deal with a sales rep there. They wouldn't bother to double check what I thought was an obvious ding in the top of a guitar I wanted to buy. I ended up just buying one elsewhere.

So are the scribble strips optical better then the original helix? What is advantage of 2 input in and 4 stereo effects loops vs 2

I believe they are of better quality

 

[TheTrueZoltan!]

[…] We have at least one post-launch Agoura amp finished that's never been modeled in a Line 6 product before. […]

JVM410H confirmed!

I think it’s 4 mono effects loops vs 2 mono - advantage of 4 is you can have two stereo fx loop chains vs one stereo.

So I guess you can place those loops anywhere in chain? Before poweramp or after?

Yep same as current Helix!

Old or newer?

Newer
