thanks. I'll give that a try.

what is the optimum level for the right level meter on the focus view of the amp.... mine is probably at 80 to 90 %.... is that too much or just about right?

Before I was able to capture the helix levels using the YOULEAN Loudness Meter 2... was connected using USB. Is it possible to use YOULEAN Loudness Meter 2 or something else when connected to laptop using WiFi?

I am connecting to my Stadium XL to my mac Stadium Edit by wifi. Before all changes from either inside Edit or on the floor unit would sync to each other. That is not happening now. For example, I click on a block (delay) in edit, the floor unit does not select that block. Is it supposed to be sync'd like the old one? The old one used USB to connect. I read somewhere that the stadium will not connect using USB now. Is that correct?

Wow, what an interesting endeavor! Thank you.

I liked using the level meters in Helix to set my compressors. I don't see that in Stadium. Hopefully I am just missing it.

I've always set mine to -18. sometimes it moves up some.... I have had FOH engineers say it is very hot. -23 would be safe.

was in a preset on focus view... showing plexi amp. switched to preset that uses lux amp. the focus view still showed the plexi amp, it did not update until I got out of focus view and went back in.

Got my Stadium a few days ago... today I was messing around with the Nash Sessions preset.... changing/adding speaker cabs. Then switched to the Bringing Plexi Back preset. After about 20 secs, it started giving what sounded like white noise coming out. very loud. turn the volume pedal down did nothing... clicking on fs's did nothing. The Kinky comp and the LA Studio were the only fs's that were on. I could change to another preset and the noise went away, however when I went back to the plexi preset, the noise came back. Turned on Stadium, then back on, the plexi preset seems to be working now. Just wanted to put this out there in case someone else has this issue.

Just picked mine up! thanks for the info.

instead of adding a block to the chain, use the output block, assign a button to that, and set it to zero min and max of 3db or whatever you want. Using the output block saves a block in the chain.

Hey All! I was in Guitar Center yesterday and asked if they had heard anything about the release date of the Helix Stadium XL. All I can find online is "the fall"! The guy (very helpful) told me that they are expecting to get 3,600 units in their warehouse on Nov 10th. He said they would then start shipping to the stores after that and that should take 3 to 5 days. He said they have about 1500 preorders for this. Just wanted to share this info... hope he is correct.

I have that and really like the convivence of it. However when we setup up our wireless IEM system, it started cutting out because of interference. So you have to watch out for that.

yes, click the mode button to go into stomp mode and you can access all of the blocks that are tied to a button. You can also combine stomps and snapshots in stomp mode using the control center view. I do that alot. he has some great vids on how to set this up. good luck!

I have different patches.... yes, fixing one means(sometimes) fixing 3... but that's just the way it is. I guess you could have an eq block(s) that you could turn on/off?

I really like having the multiple split option on the paths... also being able to have the two control stomp pages.... It's like I can have a bigger pedal board. I use it in Stomp mode with mostly stomps and a few snapshots. I have always wanted "just one more" stomp on the preset. Now it is there. That to me is worth it.

interesting topic.... last night my friend entered some lyrics she had been working on and said southern rock.... it spit out a completed song in 5 sec. She was amazed. It was exactly what she was hearing! Of course this started a long conversation on the good and the bad of AI, how it can be a great tool, or a crutch that would eventually atrophy any creative thoughts. She brought up the analogy of her working with a producer in the studio. She just has part of the song and the producers helps fill in the lyrics and music. I had not thought of that analogy before. I see both sides, and admit to leaning toward the AI is bad side (somewhat).... but that analogy got me thinking!

Wow, what a setup! Sounds like the new Helix show stuff was made for you:) Good luck with your issue.

testing one two three

what happened?

"I don’t see it as a PowerCab thing. The same is true for Variax users like me; no VDI. I think it makes good business sense to ask the small minority of PowerCab and Variax users to pay for the additional features rather than include them, meaning everybody else subsidizes us." Yeah, don't think I agree with that statement. wonder how much it would have costs to have kept the L6 link? I am still very excited about the product and really looking forward to using it.

I can see why, but I don't like that they did not include the L6 link. I guess they really don't like PowerCab users :) I will have to buy $250.00 adapter to use it the way I do now. plus one more thing to carry around, setup, breakdown, and probably leave on the stage somewhere! :) However, thank you for adding all the cool stuff!

He did mention somethings will come later, he also said that they will reveal new "stuff" when the units are available for purchase. You will still have more options for footswitches. I always seem to just need one more effect! this will give me that. Also, I love having the Info or Notes on each patch.... and a new filing system. I wonder if we can sort by last edited date? Also, did anyone else hear (or was this wishful thinking on my part) him say that changes made to a template will push out to the others? Meaning, if I have an amp set as a template (or favorite), then I can make a change to the amp (more bass) and it will push out to every patch that is using that template amp? Or effect? That would be nice.

I like smaller, but not sure how it will work in real life... agree about the pedal as well. Can't believe they have SO MUCH MORE STUFF in there.... I spend way too much time tweaking as it is :).... I need to retire so I can have time for this.. Really do NOT like the fact you have to have an adapter for the L6 link... guess that tells you what they think about the PC's. Also glad they said they will keep adding to the original helix, however I guess we will wait and see how that works. But if I'm honest, I love the tones I get now and would be ok if nothing changes... Still have plenty of flexibility to get great gigging sounds! Doesn't seem to be much of a price drop for the exiting:

have you tried the new Super Vibrato Amp with the Amppeg 1x15 cabinet? That gives me a very full clean rhythm. I also use the mic that is the 2nd to the last in the list. (Sorry, can't remember the name)
