When Line6 announced the Stadium, they said at that time that the HX framework was not dead and they would continue to update it, but it's been 2 years and nothing.
Also, I cannot get my Variax USB interface to work at all on Windows 11, and Line6 knows about the problem, yet does nothing.
I have little confidence at this point that Line6 cares about anything but the Stadium at this point, and though their intentions may have been good with the statements they made about the old Helix stuff, it does not seem like they are doing anything at all for legacy customers. I equate all of this to what Fender is doing, killing their own brand... Yamaha may be the problem here, but at this point, I would not even consider a Stadium, knowing how they have turned their back on HX users lately. Why keep supporting them? The same is true for all Line products I own... Helix Floor, G30, G10s, Variax JTV69, and PowerCab 212+. I previously owned a Spider and an HD500 rack. How do I trust Line6 now that they are owned by Yamaha. They have a real image problem right now that will take more than the Stadium to fix. Perhaps sites like sweetwater.com should clearly state on Helix, Variax, or PowerCab listings that these are unsupported products, and buyer be ware... We are on our own.
Yeah... I'm pissed.
