More blues and edge of breakup styles like Gary Clark jr stuff…some world music/ ambient style as well. Not really any chugging metal stuff or heavy metal.
I will say that I was heavily looking at the fractal stuff, but at this point being that I’m more of a visual person I really need some type of bigger on screen touchscreen type interface because being more visual and less technical it just is more comfortable to work with
My old Vox tone lab SE floor pedal was nice. I still use it. It’s very simple layout, even though it didn’t have a big screen. Every single thing had a knob to control it so I still to this day really enjoy that whole set up interface thing and kind of would prefer it Like if a unit had exactly that style of layout but the screen was like say the roll in GT one even basic screen I would be happy with that because I really liked my GT one when I had it. The screen was very bright and the resolution was very clear. It wasn’t a touchscreen but for the price point you know at that time it was interesting.

Massively agreed. I’ll no doubt get an axe4 whenever it comes out but I just don’t see fractal moving the needle much in terms of usability (I’d love to be wrong but just realistic)
Stadium being on par sound wise but also having great usability and eventually capturing, it really is ticking all the boxes and will seemingly excel in all areas.

This is what my fallopians are telling me too. Whispering in my ears, as I dream my Kevorkian nightmares.

Are you live posting new song lyrics?! The Stadium is truly inspiring

No, but I'll put that in my emo poetry book for safe keeping!
For reals. I'm very excited to get my Devito fins on it.

Last gig I did playing that sort of stuff was backing up a great female singer. UA Dream set to break up (footswitches set to reverb and trem), DOD 250, EJ fuzz face, Bonamassa Wah. Best tone I had in a long long time. If your tone needs aren't all over the place like mine, I strongly suggest - if you haven't already - to try an UA amp sim with a few pedals. It's awesome.

I would have to agree with you on the XTC. We waited a long time for it - something seems off.

Expand D10 only has ADAT out, not in, so the ADA8200's mic pres would be wasted. But at $179, how big a deal is that really?
Also, Stadium/Nexus isn't designed to be a massive 24 or 32-channel live console either.

One of the more effective marketing pieces that stuck with me from the OG Helix era was a video montage consisting of various guitarists play testing Helix Floor for the first time in a studio. Their reaction to the dynamics and interaction was front and center, IMO a brilliant approach. Seeing their reactions made me want to experience that difference for myself.
We’re seeing the same thing now with stadium, albeit in perhaps a more organic manner spread out through clips from the events this past weekend. There’s clearly a sonic difference, but whatever is happening with feel must kick ass because it seems to dominate the conversation. I’m very excited to plug this thing in, crank up the cans, and see what’s new.

It seems to me like Cliff over at fractal’s not gonna go with the whole touchscreen route but I may be wrong. I hope he does because can you imagine a fractal FM nine with the helix touchscreen on it? Oh my God

But I should be able to get that out of the stadium, shouldn’t I?

I don’t know if sound is a given. I’ve seen “YouTubers” give great reviews for everything from helix, to fractal to nux , hotone etc. I don’t quite trust these reviews anymore. Helix was good, but it took a lot of tweaking to get on par with fractal in the raw amp sound.

To truly know we'll need to see/hear A/B examples and that hasn't been done yet. The opinion poll on Stadium (from people who've tried it) is extremely favourable, and that's all we can really go off for now.
No, you can't. Go ahead and cancel that pre-order.

Would the Stadium be ready to deal with more inputs, though, hence being prepared for a D20 box, offering ADAT in instead?
Thing is, as most of the stuff many people are doing, is happening ITB, they typically need more ins rather than outs (*check* for myself as well). So, for it to become a kinda centerpiece of a small studio (which I could pretty much imagine some people would love to be doing), more ins certainly would be a good idea - even if they can't all be processed internally but would just be passed through to your DAW (maybe with monitoring leveling options).
