Line 6 Helix Stadium

Interesting glimpse at EU pricing including Italian VAT 22% on that website:
  • HX Stadium: 1999 €
  • HX Stadium XL: 2399 €
I wonder if the non-XL Stadium price is a placeholder because that's almost 30% on top of the US Sweetwater price after converting it to euros. The XL is tiny bit more than US price + VAT.

EDIT: Found Thomann's still hidden pages for it. These are with Finnish VAT 25.5% :cry:

 
I just got another "Your order has been delayed" email from GC regarding my Stadium XL preorder this morning. It did not give any indication of a future date when they think it might be in stock/shipped.

I got one of these from MF this morning. These are likely just automated and going out because we just clipped the Oct 26 date that they had set in their systems. None of us know when these are coming, totally expected to not hit in Oct.

I've never been given a date by GC. I think they just automatically send one out once a month for any outstanding order that's unfilled due to out of stock condition. Sounds like MF may operate a little differently.

In the same email GC did recommend a Hello Kitty Squire Strat for me. Must be a lot of folks who are snatching up Hello Kitty strats while waiting for their Stadium preorders. Obvious overlap in customer base there. :rofl

I never saw any sort of date from MF. They have been periodically sending emails just saying it's backordered, which I already knew.
 
Does the VH4 model cover all four of its channels?

Of less importance, are the channels split amongst several models or can you switch channels from within the model?

No and nope. Two separate models of channels 3 and 4. They sound good and compare nicely to their Fractal FM9 equivalents, for what it's worth.

But VH4 isn't an Agoura model yet, so if or when that happens...only then is that a possibility.

Thanks for the links! I just pre-ordered the non-XL version. :banana

1797 EUR incl. 19% German VAT at Thomann, which is actually a little bit less than I expected (1799.99 USD are currently 1546,70 EUR, +19% VAT = 1840,57 EUR).

For anyone who has ordered from Andertons in the U.K. I already replied to their email and said ‘I’m happy to go ahead’ but didn’t get a reply (yes, I know that patience is a virtue). As they’re available to order and pay in full on the website I decided to ring them to pay the balance.

The guy I spoke to wanted a BACS transfer; he said a credit card was not possible. His manager said the same. Finally, I got through to another chap there who did a credit card over the phone. Said they are ‘not setup to do secure transactions unless it’s via the website’. But also couldn’t send me a website link to pay. This is bonkers as you can pay the entire amount via PayPal, credit card, bank card if you simply go on their website as a new customer. But if you’ve put down a deposit their initial response is to ask for BACS for the balance. This, coupled with their ‘no regular credit’ might be an issue!

The reason I wanted to pay with a credit card - I always pay the balance to avoid interest but I would rather have a few more weeks with the money *and* card protection rather than BACS where you say goodbye to the money immediately with no protection.

I explained that, as they’d sold out of pre-orders already, he’d probably be having this exact same conversation with an awful lot of other people, especially as they’re not doing their usual credit terms. You never know, me saying ‘brace yourselves, others will be in touch in the same boat’ might mean they find a more elegant way! But just in case that’s why I’ve mentioned it here so you can allow adequate time on the phone to get through to the guy that can do this.

Anyway, as I’ve paid in full and will be receiving one fairly soon, do I get some honorary Timbucks to spend on a new hot tub? :)
