Dreaming about forumites? That's how you know you've gone native.

Y’all invade my personal spaces. I used to have terrible dreams of not having the right part to fix a component on the Chinook or that I fucked up something mid-flight. Now I dream of crazy shit spawned by you assholes.

Sounds like a major de-escalation. You’re welcome.

My buddy who works /teaches at LM here is Canada is a die hard NDSP fan
He is trying to get me to change my stadium order to mini
Says save $500 or 600
And they both should be in end of Feb

For me, that's still a no-brainer with the advantage going to Stadium. Way better workflow for my personal tastes, and way less compromises on footswitching. Also, i trust one company waaaaaaay more than I do the other.

But I give NDSP credit for closing the gap with recently adding a synth and mostly shoring up their reverbs (even if they're just catching up to Line 6 with stuff like a new spring reverb engine and "bloom" reverb that Line 6 has had for the last couple of years already). It's less stark a choice than it would've been a year ago.

And yep, the Mini sure is smaller.

I agree.
-The Stadium will only get better. 1.3 will introduce Proxy (target is March)
-I'm picking up the mini to see if anything has been corrected from the OG QC
-I think the Mini and Stadium are for different audiences when it comes to stage use. The Stadium has a ton of extra features (if it is studio use only it doesn't matter as most of those features are available within DAWs/Software/PC editor)
-The FM9 FW11 is pissing me off so a Stadium may replace that soon enough.

Why's that?

I would 100% go for NDSP QC Mini or a QC, as the captures is sooo good now! Line 6 don`t have captures as far as I can tell ??

Captures are coming to Stadium pretty soon. I've typically favored modeling over captures anyway, although the NDSP amp model lineup was a bit more threadbare back when I owned a QC, so I ended up using captures 50 percent of the time if not a smidge more.

They have nice amps now I feel. Who needs more then 50 amps? Haha! And the Cortex Cloud
is full of nice capture og anything you need, and also NDSP can have 8 captures in a row. I hear maybe 2 in a row on the Stadium ( and we don`t know how good they are at all)
So if he likes capture NDSP is the way to go

Also I don`t like the look of the stadium, it don`t look like a 2026 device to me. +it`s expencive ( holy hell )
