Line 6 mystery product speculation

[Lysander]

We already have +90 pages of speculation for Fractal, so, might as well...

Yamaha Guitar Group applied for a new trademark on 8/15 for N Nexus :

The trademark identification reads "Amplifiers, amplifier cabinets, effects processors, loudspeakers, and loudspeaker cabinets, all of the foregoing for use with musical instruments and all featuring network communications interfaces capable of bidirectional multichannel audio, bidirectional control data, and DC power over networking cables."

Full application is available at https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=...TION&caseType=DEFAULT&searchType=statusSearch .

HX equivalent of the Spidervalve/DT50/Vetta type of concept???

 

[TheTrueZoltan!]

I have absolutely no idea, but I am very curious to see what it will be.

Saw the thread at TOP. Getting those "neural network" vibes.

Whatever it is, hope we get more news on it soon (and not Neural "Soon" lol)

I saw a bunch of people speculating this will be L6's foray into amp capturing/profiling, and, dude. Read the trademark description

We sure this is Line 6, and not a new PA/speaker line from Yamaha?

I did read it - anything I missed? In one of the other threads in here earlier in the year, @Digital Igloo somewhat alluded they may have some sort of neural network adoption (or at least didn't rule it out completely)

Oh, sorry, wasn't referring to you specifically Just noting, this has almost assuredly nothing to do with capturing.

I do get it, yeah. The only reason I typed what I did is that the logo seems to hint at how neural networks are represented graphically in most papers:

neural network layers - Google Suche

It also looks like a classic network topology graph - which aligns with the trademark description.

It's registered for Line6 headquarters address so I expect it is a Line6 product.

My guess its more to do with networking and interoperation between devices and might be a brand name for that rather than a product line itself even if it refers to actual devices.

"Nexus let's you control your fx processor, and amp all conveniently and wirelessly from a mobile device" type deal. Instead of MIDI Sysex it could be a more advanced protocol that let's them do things easier.

if it’s called nexus, then the models should be renamed replicants

I'm going to pretend that the Yamaha team were rinsing one of our songs when they came up with the name.

 

[ragingplatypi]

Isn’t nexus a shampoo? Though it wouldn’t surprise me if there’s a helix shampoo out there also.

That would be tasty AF
