I love mine. Honestly, I thought it was a bit of an unnecessary purchase as I love my OG Helix floor just fine and I had no desire for a touch screen. After getting it, I do not regret it at all. It has some quirks, it has some things I like better about the old Helix, but overall I think it's an improvement and will only get better. Line 6 has said that most folks said they'd rather have it sooner than later even if that meant more features and bug fixes in later updates. I've come to LOVE the touch screen that I initially thought was unnecessary (for me). So yeah, I don't think it's going to be any huge world shattering game changer for you, and it takes some time to get used to the new ways of doing things (set lists, presets, and such are very different now and I do still prefer the old way better, but I'm getting used to the new work flow). I've gigged with it, and it is now my rig of choice going forward. I use it with every band I play with as well as a MIDI controller for my Nord Stage 3, so as with my old unit, it will get used a LOT, but I've gone all in on it now.

I felt the same way! It worked in reverse from what I *thought* it meant. It's not "bypassing the snapshot control" it is meaning that snapshot control of the block's bypass state is on or off. I think. IIRC.

Am I just missing it? I don't see a way to do a quick "full backup" in the Stadium app. This is puzzling me. I see that you can do it ON the unit to the SD card but see no way to do it in the app to your PC.

I too use Youlean and have my Stadium hooked up via USB-C. I make sure all my presets are hitting around -23, maybe a little more for a solo boost, and that always gets everything at least in the same ballpark, even if there's always some tweaking that still has to be done once you scale it up to a full PA (I run direct).

I did and they basically brushed it off and said "I'm not certain if that is expected behavior concerning search parsing, but you encouraged to submit this as feature request."

I'm curious to hear ideas on how to approximate a Vox UL730 sound being that it was a transistor preamp into 4 EL84s for the power amp. I'm guessing maybe one of the many stomp boxes in front of an AC30 model? Just curious to hear how others might approach it.

Here's a weird one I found today (and opened a ticket). If you do a preset search that includes an apostrophe, it will not match any presets. For example, I have presets titled "I'm Alright" and "Couldn't Get It Right." Searches for "Alright" or "Couldn" will turn up the related presets but searches for "I'm" or "Couldn't" turn up no matches.

I put in a ticket about this as I would love the OG Helix behavior where Wah and Volumes get auto-assigned correctly, but anything else doesn't get auto-assigned to a switch.

I submitted all this to the product feedback. My set lists are per band as well. So I see what you're saying but I don't see it being a problem at least for my personal scenario. Especially as I won't be using showcase at all. the SD card thing just seems like a lot of hoops to jump through. I'm currently still of the opinion that the old Helix way of doing things was actually better, but I'm trying to adapt to the new way to make sure it's not just a case of "familiarity" vs. "new." It used to be so simple and easy to just swap in/out setlists which also included the presets.

The one area I'm finding lacking so far is Preset management. In the OG Helix I had a setlist for each band and could easily offload or reload sets by band as necessary. My current method in Helix Stadium is that I group all User Presets by band, batch color them by band as well, and alphabetize within band groups. Then I can easily just save one band's presets to my PC to make room to load another band's presets if need be. I play and sub in a lot of projects and also lots of one-off shows, and make a preset per song so that the Helix is also my setlist, so they can build up fast. To that end, 3 things I think could vastly improve management. 1. Folders within the User Presets. Then I could have a folder per band. 2. since set lists are just "aliases" pointing to a user preset, being able to rename ONLY the alias would be super helpful. That way if I have 10 songs that just use my "Marshall Plexi" preset, I can rename them for each song while also have them all just pointing to the same preset. As it is now, I just have to have 10 redundant copies of the same preset if I want them to be named for 10 different songs. 3. If I save presets from the setlist to my PC, it only saves 0K "alias" and not the actual preset, which I can't see why I would ever want to do. It seems like it should save the actual preset to my PC. There very well may be better solutions as well, this is just what I've thought of while figuring out my workflow.

While I'm still getting to know the new unit, I've been keeping Hype at 0 to try out the most realistic model sounds but I do think Hype is a great and useful feature! I'm just curious if any of you are generally using it or dialing some in.

Mostly IEMs but with one band where I need an on-stage "amp" I use a QSC K10.2 and it works great. I use all kinds of models as I always have a preset per song.

NICE. Almost makes me want to get one even though the Gator case I used with my OG Helix works great with the Stadium and has a handle and wheels! But I do have to take it OUT of the case to use it.

Weird indeed! I was definitely tweaking on the unit itself and it happily stays right where I am in a set list now after saving a tweak.
