Waiting For Helix Stadium?

[Whizzinby]

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.

Yeah, I’m slowly drifting back to just enjoying playing amps more and more, so my internal debate was “What is going to get you more pumped up to turn on” which kind of answered itself. Ha

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.

Yeah I’m not too worried about tones, it’s more the new features. I was kind of pumped to load backing tracks, using the stem splitting for custom drum backing tracks, the DI loading etc. Kind of turning it into a standalone practice/multimedia jam device. (Which is going to friggin rock btw) I have full trust Line 6 is going to deliver, but I think without those feature I might be more inclined to obsess over the dumb shit. Might be better to be patient and jump in when it’s flexing it’s full feature set and I can have a proper first impression.

I’m more worried that digital igloo is gonna leave Yamaha in line 6 and go work for fractal

Why are you worried about that super hypothetical scenario? May as well be worried the sun is going to explode soon.

Soon is relative lol, so in that case yes it is going to explode soon

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. ”

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.

I am the same I have a regular stadium on order which at the earliest probably won't get here until early next year , after the showcase and 3 new Agoura amps are out and a large amount of content is already out , as well as NAMM and proxy info likely just around the corner , as Timbuck says "I am in no rush really

I have to admit to being a bit of a FAShole, too I really dig the tones and effects my JVM orange preset with dynacab just sounds really good IMO
fractal modelling is STILL king for me at least until we get a whole lot more content on the Stadium , I have no doubt its going to be a killer product , but in true squirrel fashion I am also looking at something like the SYN20 IR I have heard some pretty damn good clips as well as Marshall now involved

Omg. You throw out the most out of pocket hypotheticals. Are you outside of your mind?

Maybe y’all can identify more as FASboys or FASnatics or something because I don’t tend to see you acting like real FASholes like I’ve seen from others.

Just watch the video that Cordy will be releasing very soon.
