Line 6 Helix Stadium

[timbuck3]

Of course.
Unless they've taken that function away, which would be pretty stupid IMO.

I hope they made this pedal to do both and it’s solid and won’t cause the unit to tip to the right

Huh? It's not so interesting when you understand that ChatGPT and other AI services are very often dead wrong.

I know there’s just a lot of disinformation on the stadium out there.

Okay, enough with the understatement. You designed a keynote that made even Tim (pre)order the product you presented. A pretty impressive achievement.

Well yeah, if you use AI and ChatGPT I can't really think of much disinformation. Any examples?

I would be the happiest person in the universe if people stopped posting ChatGPT answers as facts, and AI image slops as fun.

Is there anything that can be said at present (if the answer is no, that's fine, I'll wait--my preorder is in and won't change unless I develop a little more patience and switch from the XL preorder to a non-XL preorder) about what I'll call the DSP architecture? By that I mean, is it going to follow the basic dual signal paths each with it's own dedicated hardware powering it a la OG? And that question isn't a masked criticism of OG--I was always perfectly content with the old arrangement. Just curious about what's to come.

never considered blocking you through all your "will not buy" shenanigans but if you're going to insist on copy-pasting AI slop that YOU KNOW IS GARBAGE to junk up the thread, off you go. fuck's sake, use your head.

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH MISINFORMATION

I was thinking non xl and maybe switching to that instead of xl but being visual the scribble strips and having all in one pedal is a plus as is the various impedance inputs

If you count AI generated texts which are always adviced not to be taken as facts by the very AI provider, and some posts here and there by people who didn't fully get a few things (which is normal and expected), instead of what Line6 has communicated so far, yes.

But you get how absurd that statement is, right?

I wonder if there’s a reason why line 6 is not at least coming out with what kind of processors and stuff they’re using inside of it if it really is that much better than the helix regular just curious

I wonder if there's currently a reason to come out with that just because some forum user is curious about that

 

[HomespunEffects]

I never said that. I said the dynamic range on the inputs is better than that of many multi-thousand-dollar audio interfaces. Which it is, measurably. So was the Guitar Input(s) on Helix and HX products, due to a patent we still own.

Ok. I misunderstood that to mean the same thing. Thanks.

Personally I love when this happens! I can understand why you wouldn't.

 

[timbuck3]

Will they model the amp1 or amps eventually?

Given that competitors have sort of swiped L6's ideas/plans when they've discussed things early ahead of release, they are understandably much more tight-lipped about what's coming, and I don't blame them. DI talked about that a little in a post earlier in this very thread, IIRC.

Does anyone know if the foot switches are the same distance apart on both the standard stadium and the XL?

 

[Mooselake]

Well, GC sent me a 15% off coupon via email today but the rep couldn't apply it to my Stadium order, he though maybe because it was a preorder. He did give me enough of a discount to cover the sales tax, which is better than nothing I suppose. I signed up at MF but they haven't sent me bupkus yet, so it looks like GC it is, and I won't get the best deal on the block.

 

[HomespunEffects]

And all you other people with your "pshaw, marketing guys" can suck it. I'm a designer who got sucked into doing a keynote because no one else would do it.

You did an awesome job. Seriously.

Yes. If you add Wah (or Pitch Wham or Poly Wham) and Volume blocks, their Position parameters are automatically assigned to EXP 1 and EXP 2, respectively, and pressing the toe switch automatically toggles the bypass state of both of them.

I don’t really need my external expression pedal then. Awesome!
