bbehrens Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Line 6 Expand D10 was announced in June 2025 along with the Helix Stadium. But no ship date on the horizon yet? I know that I am just asking for more headaches but I have already paid a lot of money for Line 6 for promises that we are all still waiting for. My Helix Stadium is not my primary rig yet. And Rhett Shull has not been able to put his faith into the Stadium yet either. I know that Line 6 will get it's act together and the Stadium will be a compelling unit to buy. But as time marches on and problems don't go away, and hardware fails to get delivered, things may change. Permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Permanently. bbehrens, The D-10 is available for advance order and estimated to ship April 2026 via Sweetwater. Go to 13:16 in this youtube video and watch the whole short strip about Line 6. You will see the D-10. There is chatter on one of the vlogs about PROXY being in the next firmware release. But nothing solid I can find yet. Someone else in this forum may have better information. jpd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbehrens Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 April. I will look forward to it. I placed my order for the D10 when I placed my order for the Helix Stadium. I got it the date that the 1.20 update came out. And I have run into a plethora of issues (primarily with the Stadium App editor. But there are still issues with the Stadium unit. Last night I swear that I lost a preset that I was working on even though I was repeatedly saving during the build process. Really NOT sure what was going on because that was the only time THAT issue has happened but it was quite distressing! I think that PROXY will come out in April as well (a guess), unless they have issues with the online service, which is likely in my experience. The number of users and the number of proxy cloning requests will be critical in their roll out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adflaker Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Sweetwater's website now says shipping in July. Most release dates on websites should be taken with an entire shaker of salt these days (not a Line 6 exclusive issue, either...these things take time). There's going to have to be a concurrent firmware update in the Stadium so people can use them when they're released. I will definitely be one of those people...I have a JTV89 that I'm dying to use/automate with the Stadium and I have a sneaking suspicion that I'll be able to capture a DI signal without a DI box with the ADAT outputs.

Eric Klein also mentioned the Scott Uhl demo as having occurred the previous day during his own NAMM demo with Paul Hindmarsh that posted to the Line 6 channel a few days ago. It was interesting to hear Eric Klein state the Stadium (unlike the Helix OG) was designed from the outset for a ten year lifespan and over-engineered to accommodate new functions some of which haven't even been foreseen yet.

maxnew40 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I have been using a couple of JTV Variax guitars for years. Sweetwater now says July delivery for a preorder D10 box. For now I am using a strat with bridge humbucker and an SG, but there is so much I did with the Variax that I can't currently do like switch between an acoustic sound and an electric sound or use the Variax Sitar sound for the song Come And Get Your Love. I also miss being able to change the tuning for some songs with a preset. I was a little disappointed that variax and powercab support was not built in and requires a separate hardware box that won't be available for quite some time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my ship to doorstep for my Stadium took only about 4 business days. And a friend of mine had his rep place expedite which set his ship to delivery at only 2 days. I do hope you will be able to use your variax(s) soon! jpd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxnew40 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Of course we need a firmware update to support the Variax model change with preset/snapshot and hopefully control of a powercab to go with the D10 box. Seems like profiling is going to come before support for Variax. It might be fun to make a profile of my old ADA MP1 preamps (one stock one modified) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bverdon Posted Saturday at 09:29 AM Share Posted Saturday at 09:29 AM If I had to do my pre-order with Sweetwater over again for the Stadium... I would have done with multiple resellers and canceled the other one once the other one shipped.... what a mess that was with Sweetwater!
