Line 6 Helix Stadium

I love guitar, amps, modellers, pedals. What a time to be alive.

I fucking hate yodelling though.

Here is the existing Helix Soldano alongside several other modelers -



You tell me which one sounds most like the real amp. Some real squirrels from the actual amp for you as well Tim.

But yeah, this clip has limited dynamics - so there is that. But the existing HX SLO model is no pushover.

True, sounds good. Fractal sounds different and fantastic. That headrush though, holy shit it's awful

Every time I watch one of his videos, I feel like I'm being hexed.

He even pronounces his own name wrong.

He's new testament when it comes to the nebcoromponcon.

To me, the real amp sounds best of course. The Helix sounds the most accurate out of all but a tiny bit soft compared to real amp. Fractal sounds very different but nice as well. To be honest, I could use any of them.

Except the headrush

Yeah the competition in the space is great. The quality you can have now at < $300 is incredible.

Reference to the "normalizing" that Jason Sadites used to always do on Helix patches with tilt/shelf EQs, compressors and whatnot.

Thanks for the reply.

So with the extra effects, is he saying that the tone is bland/diluted then (somehow like boiled milk)? Sorry, I'm really curious here.

Said it many times before, but, kids: real amps are fizzy AF. Ever played a JCM800 in real life?

That hype knob will be a welcome addition for those expecting a more processed, "hifi" tone from these models.

True, but the thing is, I don’t even think the clip really sounds fizzy. Maybe a little, definitely gritty, but what tf do you expect when you’ve got a tube amp distorting? It’s like Tim hasn’t played a real amp before if he thinks that’s what squirrels are.

Yeah, I’m not hearing fizz. Wait for the Panama. Then you’ll get fizz.

I thought we already heard the Panama in the earlier clip? But it was dialed in more for instrumental guitar / 80s-90s lead tone with possibly higher master volume etc.
