Hi all, after watching so many videos on youtube about the Helix and the Agoura models I am really clueless of how to dial in a patch which convinces me that I can switch from Kemper to the Stadium. I must admit that I own the Kemper for 10 years now and I am quite experienced how to make it sound like a real amp. today I tried to dial in a sound based on the Plexi Agoura model. Up to now I am still not satisfied. I tried the stock cabinets, some Celestion IRs and also some TH-U IRs which I imported to the Stadium. I am looking for some nice breakup tone, full of clarity but without the harshness. So I tried to tame the harshness by setting the high cut in the cab down to 4 to 5 KHz but that didn’t do the trick. I mean, it is ok for a lead tone but the breakup sound is then not sparkling enough.. maybe someone can post a patch so I can learn the important tweaking parameters.. Thanks and best regards, Christian

Hi all, I am new to Helix (and of course Stadium) so maybe I am missing some basic concept (like Setlist). what I would like to know is if there is a way to load a backing track based on the patch that I choose. so actually it is the other way around instead of selecting a backing track and put flags in it to choose a patch. the reason why I need this workflow is that we are only planning to use backing tracks for a few of our songs, all other songs are completely played live. and since I do not want to bend down and choose the backing track during a show I would like to load the backing track once I choose the particular patch for the song. Thanks for helping! best regards, Christian

Hi, I have experienced now the second time a massive boot problem: I had it one time after I imported some IRs (well, around 200) and I thought the long time for booting (took up to 15 mins) was caused by some problem with the IRs. Today I have the same problem: I have turned the Helix Stadium on and since 10 mins it is still showing the "X" and I did not import any new IRs since last time. So this is for me a real issue. I am not daring to take this unit for a live gig since I do not know the reason why it sometimes needs a nearly infinite amount of time for booting.. Does anyone ecperience the same issue and more important knows the reason for it and how to get rid? Thanks, Christian
