Waiting For Helix Stadium?

No. More than likely not October. If things don't blow up, November is quite possible, but I'll need plausible deniability here.

Had no purchases planned before Stadium because my gigging needs were mostly being met between my FM9 and my ToneMaster Pro (Helix has always been the centerpiece of my home studio and Stadium will ensure it stays that way).

I'm going to sell the FM9 and Tonemaster Pro closer to when the XL version actually drops.
Did fender ever fix the speaker impedance curve issue?
 
So if I did the preorder (in absolutely LATE fashion); how do I know if I am on this first wave that goes out? I'd ideally like to NOT be receiving a $2000 piece of gear on Christmas :oops::LOL:

You....won't have to worry about that at all. Plus, you get a ton of first-hand user experiences and wide range of clips of all the Agoura high-gain amps in detail well before you'll have to plunk down money,

Just over a month ago my Sweetwater rep said they had 1945 pre orders in and they predicted any new orders would be in the third wave of shipping. I bet Guitar Center has a solid number as well because some folks found a way to make a 15% coupon work that was posted everywhere.

I tried to cancel mine via email and my rep called like 7 seconds later.

“Bro, you’re in the first batch, anything ordered now won’t ship until February or March. That spot is valuable. I’ll call you when it’s here, but keep your spot. ” :ROFLMAO:

That was two weeks ago, so depending on who you ordered from, jumping in now might be well into next year.

Or my dude is full of shit like any good drug dealer. :ROFLMAO:

Why are you canceling is the bigger question 😀

I was debating about getting a new amp and just decided to go that route.

Technically I haven’t canceled, but it’s likely. I’ll round back once the Spotlight, Editor, Cloning etc. is out. I’ve also become a little bit of a FASshole, so I think it might be a cleaner landing for me with the Stadium if it’s in its full form.

Who knows. It might land at SW while I’ve got a buzz and YOLO. :rofl

Yeah don't blame you. Hard to go wrong with FAS and amps 😬

I’ve had similar internal debates, I don’t blame you. I’m barely using modeling anymore and when I do it’s captures of my own amps. I have almost no use case for a multi effects unit these days. There’s a Mark VII locally that I’ve been eyeing since before I even preordered the Stadium XL that keeps looking more and more enticing.

Makes sense. The 1.1 version will share A LOT of sonics with Helix Floor, so if you've already counted it out as not being up there with current firmware FAS.....I predict some remorse.

I did shootout after shootout of my FM9 with my current Helix to make sure I wasn't just plunking down for this out of hype, and I was able to duplicate the vast majority of my preferred FAS tones, while also discovering a lot of great Line 6/Catalyst originals and factory cabs I'd otherwise dismissed.
