What's preventing you from getting a Helix Stadium (if you really want to buy it eventually)?

[Chocol8]

That isn’t a thing.

Uh OK

They shat the bed with that 100%, and I’m not a fan of the power supply debacle either. However the sounds, and product design is better. Fractal is king.

The capture sounds on QC are better, the modeling is a mix for both. Fractal is king for modeling but bottom tier for UI/UE. They are all a mixed bag and none are objectively better at all things.

But you are only here to shit on Line6 with idiotic takes we have all heard many many times already. It got old a long time ago...for anyone who is objective and has a functioning brain, and you might find that is a large portion of the posters hear...no matter which brands they (currently) own.

How is the QC design better? Only because it’s more compact? I mean of course their design is good, they were inspired by Line 6 after all.
But I haven’t tried or seen anything beating the Stadium when it comes to UI and how well the combo of a super responsive touch screen, tactile knobs and capacitive switches work.

Correct. It just ain’t it right now. It’s half baked.

Curious, have you actually used one? I don’t own one, but have spent several hours with it. I wouldn’t remotely consider it “half-baked”.

Relaaaaaaax. A friend in Niagara Falls let him use one for a few hours, and after his totally open-minded and comprehensive evaluation...he realized it just wasn't up to snuff.

I would bet he hasn't been in the same room as one, but he might lie about it.

I only ask because a cursory glance at his posts doesn't seem to mention anything beyond last gen, and commenting on things with no first hand experience is of little value.

 

[sashimi]

And of course he stops replying after we start questioning his experience with the Stadium. Because he probably has none and is just shitting on it blindly.

If it was $2.20 you still wouldn't buy it.

If you’re not capable of being objective that’s ok but there’s a reason touring guitarists opt for everything other than Line6. It’s close but it isn’t there, yet.

My opinion is they should have launched with a little more incentive to actually buy it, which includes improved effects.

I see tons of regular HX in rigs for touring bands. The ONLY device I’ve seen go right into touring rigs on launch was the QC and that’s because they gave a metric shitload if them out to people at launch in exchange for promo. And a lot of those quickly went back to whatever they were using prior because the QC was pretty fuckin far from prime time ready at launch.

 

[mbenigni]

Of course not, he is one of the forum shills on the NDSP payroll.

If people are getting paid to shill for the QC, I really need better representation.

The Dear Hunter guitarist touring with his Mark V 25 & Helix would beg to differ, just to name one very excellent and professional band.

Thrice, The Contortionist and Rivers of Nihil all had at least one HX device in their rigs the last time I saw them or saw live performances online.

Your problem is your posts are too positive, fair, and rational. If you want to get paid you need to work on shitting on other brands better.

How much money are we talking? (My Stadium XL just made a weird noise and my cat caught on fire. System reset?)

You will have to ask dbfretz. I only shit on Kemper these days and no one gets paid to chase away potential Kemper customers except their own forum mods.

I will say no more until I get my hands on the stadium floor which should be available in the next few weeks and the QC Mini. Back to your shanties.
