Line 6 Helix Stadium

I think it'd be great if they could find a way to also mirror the screen to an iPad which I could then place on a music stand. That way, I won't have to bend down to twist knobs but also have access to foot switches.

PATENT PENDING DIBS!!

I have high hopes for the wireless editing (which I'm assuming will be dashed upon product launch), but I'm envisioning the ability to essentially mirror the Stadium's touch screen on my iPad.

Beat you to it by several weeks!

That’s the “No, Ben Dover” mode, coming Spring ‘26.

Yeah, but you didn't apply for the patent unfortunately. Them's the breaks.

I'm pretty sure that this time there will be a mobile editor.

 

[molul]

I would expect the mobile app to be almost that. Not a direct screen cast, but a mirror UI adapted to any screen size that is linked to the device by wifi or Bluetooth.

As a hobbyist who spends most of my time playing at my desk, takes the modeler to band practice once a week, and gigs every few months, this would be a killer feature for me. Right now I keep my Quad Cortex on my desk for easy editing and use a Morningstar MC6 Pro for the stomp switches. It would be great to not have to have the much larger Stadium on my desk.

Didn’t I hear something about the app not being an editor but more of a librarian at initial release?

No. You were getting confused with the time you watched UHF and giggled yourself to death over the Conan The Librarian skit.

The first Stadium editor might be more of a preset/IR/Showcase track librarian to start

See? My hearing and memory are good.

Focus view changes depending on the type of item; think of it like <ahem> focusing in on that particular item.

• For amps and most effects, you see Focus zones for morphing between five distinct model defaults
• For cabs, you can move the mic in 3D space
• For most EQs, you can move band nodes around
• Loopers have Focus view 3D images but no zones because we have future plans for them
• Future items will have different Focus views
• There's no Focus view for Inputs, Outputs, Splits, or Merges

Focus zones are kinda pointless for Gain blocks, Volume Pedals, and Wahs but we included them anyway for consistency's sake.

I think Focus zones for something like a Wah could be useful . you could have different frees for example for the Dunlop cry baby
Dunlop posts all the freq sweeps so you could technically have a Slash , Buddy Guy , Cantrell, ZaKK Wylde in the focus zones

I had the same thought when I watched the video earlier today. The images and icons look like they were done by someone who actually gives a shit. I loved that the MXR-117 looked just like the original.

Little details add up and the more I see, the more excited I’m getting for the XL to get here.

I didn’t think much about graphics, but damn these look good. There’s so much that can be done by a competent UX team.
Fractal level sound with this sort of interface - ah, one can dream.

If the whole org is on mission to do the work, yes. This is a big reason why I’m now a loyal customer looking forward to Stadium. Seen too many UX/UI teams sit and push pixels and keep shipping the same shitty solutions over and over, plus losing talent when people have had enough.

With sound priorities (and a shit ton of hard work) all the different competences in product development gets to shine. That’s the vibes I’m getting from L6 atm.

Now do high gain

 

[Mikael Dez]

Now do high gain

I’m not a clean tones guy and that’s likely why I’m not picky about clean tones at all - I’ve had great clean (to my non picky ears) for years out of just about every modern digital solution. The high gain shit is where I get snobby

Yeah those are the tones I will be using 100% of the time so I want to hear those. I am sure they'll be coming down the pike at some point. The drop they've been giving on these vids are good. No huge fanfare; just quick dirty demo and I think it's good that way \m/

TBH I'm not a huge fan of how Focus View looks like. Don't get me wrong, I think the feature is great. But the picture of the amp seems counterproductive to me. It doesn't reflect the actual settings of the model, but it makes the cursor (well, it's a circle, but you know what I mean) harder to see. Furthermore, I enjoy numbers. I want to see them, I want to be able to enter them (yes, it's a little quirk of mine). It seems to me that this isn't possible for the x/y coordinates in Focus View, am I right?

I agree, I’m not a fan of the 3D rendering and will likely not use focus view because of it lol. I think the Helix signal path looks just fine and I’m glad that’s an option as well.

I for one was hoping for this to be recorded on Mt Vesuvius
