Sep 24, 2025
Packing next-generation processing power in a pedalboard-ready form factor, the Helix Stadium marks a bold step forward in the art of amp and effect emulation, complete with the company's groundbreaking Agoura modeling methodology, enhanced DSP, and streamlined touchscreen navigation. This boundary-pushing processor raises the bar on modeling accuracy with 16 Agoura-powered guitar amps and six Agoura bass amps. Meanwhile, Line 6's innovative "Hype" knob takes your model's tone from lifelike precision to a perfectly polished and produced sound. Next, the addition of a high-resolution 8-inch touchscreen, 12 footswitches, and a robust collection of physical controls ensures intuitive navigation of the Helix Stadium's myriad functions. You can even completely automate entire tracks with Helix Stadium's Showcase engine, while Focus View supplies an in-depth, context-based editing for your selected model. Did we mention that the Helix Stadium's Proxy cloud-based gear cloning lies just on the horizon? It's all finished off with a comprehensive array of stage- and studio-ready features, including increased headroom, improved sound, reduced weight, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Preset Audition, and more. Whether you're eyeing a portable rig replacement, a stage-ready workhorse, or a limitless sonic canvas to realize the tone of your dreams, the Helix Stadium delivers grand-slam performance, pushing the boundaries of floor-based processing to the stratosphere.
5150 Iconic

5150® ICONIC® SERIES 40W 1X12 COMBO The EVH® 5150® Iconic® Series satisfies the needs of gigging and recording guitarists craving that powerful EVH tube tone, but at a more affordable price. Evolving from the revered EVH 5150III® amplifiers, the Iconic Series delivers the searing sound and growling gain that Eddie Van Halen made famous throughout his groundbreaking career. Designed by renowned amp engineer, James Brown, the 5150® Iconic® Series 40-watt 1x12 combo is powered by two 6L6 power tubes and voiced by a complex, multi-stage hybrid preamp section anchored by a duet of ECC83 tubes providing all the fire power the modern guitarist needs. The cabinet is constructed out of MDF with special internal plywood baffling for tight and increased bass response, and houses a custom designed EVH 12” Celestion® speaker voiced specifically for this preamp circuit, so that the pristine cleans and searing high gain tones are tight, clear and articulate. Punching above its weight, this combo features two channels with an extra voicing on each for even more versatility. The Green channel boasts an overdrive button to run from clean tones to increased gain, while the Red channel’s burn button adds fiery crunch that’s ideal for blistering leads. Each channel houses its own gain and volume controls, allowing for level-matching the volume when switching between the clean and high gain channels. The channel two noise gate’s quick attack suppresses any hiss while ensuring all staccato riffing is articulate and crisp, not choked and choppy. The Boost control allows you to add another 10Db of foot-switchable volume to your tone — perfect for ensuring your solos cut through the mix. The control panel also includes shared EQ (Low, Mid and High), global resonance and presence knobs to adjust the low- and high-end aspects of your tone, and a global reverb control to add the perfect amount of bounce and decay for any room. Other features include a two-button footswitch, effects loop, dual parallel speaker output jacks, ¼ power switch to reduce wattage—allowing you to crank the amp and still preserve tone but without destroying your neighbor's solitude, and a speaker-emulated DI XLR with power amp mute for accurate all-tube EVH tone for recording direct or using through any PA system. Sporting sophisticated and distinctive EVH style, the 5150 Iconic Series 40-watt 1x12 combo is wrapped in either Black or Ivory textured vinyl with a black cloth front grille and features silver and black 5150 and EVH logo badges in the upper left and lower right corners. This all-tube combo is finished off with a brushed aluminum top panel, vintage-style chicken-head knobs and molded black plastic top handle. A high-quality fitted cover is available as an EVH Accessory. https://www.evhgear.com/gear/amplifiers/combo/5150-iconic-series-40w-1x12-combo/2257100010

Introducing the Magnatone Croc Collection This exclusive product offering is covered with our proprietary 100% cotton textile fabric made exclusively for Magnatone in the USA. Using a multi-step manufacturing process, our textile begins with a silver base coat and is then embossed with a Croc impression using black dye to create the pattern. Next, custom-colored pigment is painstakingly hand applied to each cabinet, allowing the silver base color to blend with the pigment to create a one-of-a-kind luxurious finish. To complete the process, nitrocellulose lacquer is applied to seal each cabinet resulting in a patina that will look even better as it ages. Magnatone has secured a limited quantity of this croc material and will offer this genuinely stunning collection while supplies last on Master Collection products only. Truly superb craftmanship from start to finish. COLLECTION FEATURES EL84 and EL34 British inspired tube circuitry Master volume for versatility and performance Custom British style speaker by Warehouse Guitar Speakers Finger jointed birch ply cabinets with wrap around woven fiberglass grill cloth Nickel plated vents and glass beaded chevrons Custom made knobs with etched white indicator lines 100% designed and made in the USA All models of the Master Collection available in Four Custom Croc Finishes. All of the Master collection amps are now available in four luxury croc finishes: Silver/Gold, Silver/Blue, Silver/Red and Silver/Purple.

I have moises. I use that to get the real drums on covers when I do them. And I sing to the original as a template then I record all guitars and bass and leave myself with only moises drums, deleting all the other moises parts and leaving me doing everything but drums. As you know having a real drummer can make huge difference on a track. Ok there is some more sophisticated software that would create all the different instruments and vocals if you wanted them based on just a demo type track of chords. That was my understanding of it but not having used it I could be full of it. LOL. Thanks for the info.

I liked the other one you did, but yeah, I get what she was saying & having listened again would agree that less is more in this case. Sounds perfect now!

Just spinning your latest and top shelf all the way, Swamps!
Stay safe down there...we got a balmy 4* F and up to 2 feet of snow
by the time it ends on Tuesday morning. It's not a big nor'easter just fluff so
should be okay.

Have a good weekend Swamps. Unusual for you to get that kind of weather! We get more of a mix here, around 38C in Summer, down to 10 below zero in Winter. Not too bad at present but raining constantly!

Hey Swamps! Interesting to hear what AI did, but if I'm totally honest, I much prefer the original. I feel the AI is destabilizing the mix. That panning, especially on a lead instrument, can make ppl feel a bit dizzy especially if listening on headphones! The whole mix is moving around too much & as a consequence it is also causing some other issues like making the bass a bit boomy & muddy. It's a great idea, but I think to pull it off without causing the destabilizing issues you'd have to apply it very specifically & with total control over all aspects such as the reverb wet/dry balance etc which would mean having access to every track in the mix. It would be a mammoth task to do it, so I think I would stay with the original.
