specracer986 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I signed up for a class next week at Line 6 Headquarters to learn more about programming the Helix. It's an all day class. I'm kind of jazzed about it as I have lots of dumb questions to ask. The only problem is I have to take the day off work, and we're real busy now, so I'll pay for my day of fun at some point. Anyone else going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyXT Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I have to say, I'd sign up if it was handy to me... just for the experience of being at L6 HQ. I trust you'll report on the experience so that we can live vicariously through you =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verne-Bunsen Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 If there was a Line 6 Headquarters in Tucson, I'd be all over it. I do hope you'll tell us all about ut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjnette Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Sounds like a class that should or could be a webinar and we can ALL attend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedFinger Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Really, record it and put it up on YouTube, website or something accessible. Most of us cannot get there from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Id have to wait until the year 2250 to get a L6 branch close to the Texas Panhandle, sigh... Hey sounds like lotsa fun, hope you learn a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specracer986 Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Well there's some advantages to living just about everywhere. For So. Cal, besides the sun, bikinis and tacos, we have a presence from most major manufacturers. I'll let you guys know how it was. Maybe you can fly in for the next one!

jshoenfelt Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 It would be nice for Line 6 to offer this online. I know I would sign up for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specracer986 Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Maybe they want the experience from a live situation before they attempt that. I don't know. But since it's an all day class it would be tough to do a webinar. Plus they are going to have multiple instructors. That would also be hard to replicate online. Sending this out to other cities would mean spending a bunch of money that they would have to charge for. Our entry fee is pretty low. I'm just glad they are doing it here.

jpdennis Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I worked at Rainbow Guitars in Tucson for six years. Love southern Arizona. And northern Arizona. Basically everywhere in Arizona except Phoenix. Wow, when I was working for the Jack Belmont Agency out of Seattle in the mid 1970's I had the opportunity to visit Chicago Music in Phoenix and was told about this little elongated narrow building in Tuscon. When we played at the Black Angus in Tuscon the following week I rolled over to the place and it was one very cool calm guy behind the counter. I was wide-eyed at some of the guitars since I had my '70 Paul and my '69 335 but always wanting a Strat. He said he was sorry but the three Strats I was looking at belongs to Frank Zappa and were in for repair. There are some memories I forget about until something triggers that dark corner of my brain.

I share your geographical preferences, there are many very scenic ways to avoid Phoenix :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specracer986 Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 I just wanted to report that the class was a good experience. Some real nice presentations by two Line 6 guys, Andy and Paul. Plus a couple of surprise guests, Elliot Easton from The Cars and Pete Thorn, of YouTube fame. Well worth taking the day off from work!!!
