Line 6 Helix Stadium

I have to say, much as I love Line 6 (I own a Helix and some Variaxes), those tones weren't groundbreaking. Not much better than the Helix amps, and certainly no better than my Axe FX III's amp tones. Hoping some better demos come about soon.

Line6's own demos have sounded a lot better to me.

The reality is that amp modeling from a lot of companies is really good and we are firmly in incremental improvements territory rather than drastic improvements.

While these clips are fun, I don't think you will know for certain if the toanz are for you until you try one in person

Good variety of styles in this one and for the high gain folks go to the Revv at the end :)

Yeah, not a fan of those tones. I'm guessing he's dialled the cabs in to be quite dark sounding.

Pretty much in line of him saying he's mainly a live player. For live, any excessive low or high end will not be too great, so you get used to dial in rather mid-rangey tones.

There’s a lot more than just Agoura in those clips. Could be the cab, the mic, the guitar, who knows. What bothered me more was the gross plastic honky midrange when that boost was kicked on. Thats something I attribute to current Helix and was hoping would be less prevalent in the new platform.

I wouldn't use any of those tones live myself.

I actually didn't like the clean tones much. They didn't sound as if they'd cut through a band context, either. But that's defenitely not the Stadium's fault.
