FlyingsCool Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Just a reminder that the Boston Helix User Group will be meeting at the Somerville Jamspot (111 South St, Somerville, MA 02143) in 3 weeks on Sunday, June 25th from 2 pm to 5 pm. @Frank Ritchotte Senior Director of Operations at Line 6 will be joining us . Hope everyone in the area has left the date open. Looks like there should be plenty of parking around the building and in the area. Hope to see you there!

ncockerill Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Just asked to join the Facebook group. Unfortunately I won't be able to make the June 25th get together, but want to stay informed of future gatherings. I would definitely be down to hang with some Helix cats. I actually saw Frank a couple of months ago at the BOC show -- watching Richie Castellano rock a Helix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimicthefrench Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I'm hoping I can make it! Don't have my schedule for that week yet but I usually have Sundays off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooey Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Hey guys, not that anyone super cares, but I'm not feeling well and probably won't make it today. Wish that wasn't so, would be great to see folks again, and see what everyone's got going on. Too bad these get-togethers are so far apart, but I know everyone's busy, myself included.Anyway, rock on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooey Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 So how'd it go? Roughly how many people? Any particular major events? Sorry I couldn't make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderod Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Sorry we missed you. Six of us - Tom, Rick, Mark and Katia, me, and a newcomer named Ben who brought his LT. I brought my A/B box so Ben was able to hear how a decent FRFR sounded vs his old battery-powered Cube subway amp. We jammed on a few tunes and checked out a few more of Mark's guitars! Frank had a conflict but sent along some cool swag. We agreed that everyone's rig's sounded great - a testament to the Helix models and flexibility. We're looking a few months out for the next one, probably back up in Wakefield; less urban traffic BS. Next time I'd like to: Audition my guitar (and others') through different rigs A/B more speakers Play through some tunes that allow blends of clean tones and distorted tones, with agreement on who's doing what so folks can hear stuff stand out for critiquing Dedicate some bass and drum duty for a couple of tunes (we all just stuck to our guitars and a couple of vox for the jams) Thanks again to flyingscool for organizing - Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talonmm Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 You are all very lucky to have a users group in your area! wish we had a helix group here on Long Island..... any one on Long Island getting any ideas????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooey Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Ping Richie Castellano, he's in your neighborhood, kinda, I think, if he's not on the road. It'd be pretty cool having him come to your local meetup :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooey Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Thanks for the rundown Mitch, hope to make it next time. Like you, I'd love to hear my guitar and patches through some other FRFRs, I just have low budget Alesis ones. Cool that this is happening, and thanks to flyingscool for the legwork.

mimicthefrench Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Yeah, I had a blast! Thanks for letting me hear how my patches sounded through decent speakers. Really cool to hear how different (and uniformly great) everyone sounded. Hopefully a friend or someone from the group can give me a ride if we're doing the next one in Wakefield, without a car that's a pretty difficult trip.
