TheRealZap Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 faster processors than the HD, and 2 of them! and plenty more.... the HD is sticking around too, for this reason i believe. Except the price tag! Ouch. Looks really good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumblinman Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Doesn't say if new amp models or same HD ones. The new fx would be nice. I didn't see a power switch though.... ;) Looks pretty awesome. Too expensive for me to play bar gigs with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncann Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Looks awesome. Also likely, a direct competitor for the new AX8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazzy Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 WOW! I want one, lol. I love the idea of being able to use third party IR's and being able to tweak on the fly with my toes. So much more I could say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palico Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 hmmm might have to try one. But at that price point, it would not be given go ahead like I did on the HD, have to look at compeation capablities in similar price range. No body was comparable in the price point for the HD. And I just got my HD expansion packs setup nicely! Almost wish they had not come out with them if a knew POD was in play. Maybe different division in the company worked independantly but seems like a quick money grab on the expansion packs now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealZap Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 That's not finalized yet.... but more than the HD for amps and cabs... less than the M-series for effects so far... (around 70 effects) List of amps-effects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueViolince Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Too bad they haven't released a full feature set, unless I'm missing that page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxnew40 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I know I will end up buying one of these eventually. At least my old HD500 is doing a fine job at gigs, so I can wait for the Helix to be out for about a year to get all bugs worked out (and time to same up some money). -Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tboneous Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 "Line 6 doesn't listen to its customers!" "Ideascale is a joke!" "IR's! Why won't Line 6 give us IR's" "I guess Line 6 doesn't want to be in High End gear category!' (that one was mine!) "Line 6 only cares about the bottom line and doesn't care to give value to its loyal customers." "Good Bye Line 6, you guys and all of your fanboys suck!" "I'm going to Fractal!" Anyone want to apologize at this point? Nice job Line 6! You listened to the most impatient and at times mean spirited crap from folks who probably don't play guitar all that well to begin with! And from it all, it is so obvious that you do listen, you do care about your customers. And you do it in a great spirit! Once again, NICE JOB LINE 6! Where and when can I get 2 of them? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrellM5 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hopefully it's a few hundred bucks cheaper on the street price. Looks incredible though. 4 effects loops---sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumblinman Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 The vid wouldn't load when I first looked. I saw it later. Plus, that was a joke. Calm down man... Looks like it has everything folks have wanted. People on TGP are already saying AX8 will still be better lol. They're not even on the market yet!

radatats Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 hamana hamana hamana..... mumble, drool, mumble... holy crap... this just rearranged my entire priority list for gear... $1499 street, I predict $1199 at Sweetwater soon...

ScottCarlson Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 1. Not just a switch, but no wall wart either. Just a standard NEMA 5-15P. Much better 2. I wonder if this addresses the global volume from the HD500s that was big complain switching between patches. 3. Having that giant screen and digital labels on the switches will be awesome for gigging. I wonder if they'll add some bluetooth-foo as well. I'm a bit confused by the 8in8out USB though.

TheRealZap Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 yes there will be an editor for the computer... but with the large screen... the only thing easier on the computer is naming the presets... (maybe moving presets around) it's very easy to use.... and the editor mirrors whats on the screen.. so they operate about the same.... and yes 1499$ is the footpedal version... the rack version is also 1499$ but does not work with the current floorboards... the helix floor controller is 499$ Thanks Zap for the info. Just 2 questions. Will there be am edit program on computer? and 2nd, is this a foot pedal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tearitupbaby Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 ahhhh its $1499 street...so sweetwater will be $1499....of course they will post $1999 and say you save 500.00 buying it from them..lol 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
