The Helix is a wonder piece if kit. It's what TC should have built to replace the G-system.
Welcome back!

How about an updated THR100? I guess it would tread too much on the toes of the Line 6 stuff these days.

Hattigol

Good luck. Great story.
Can I have a free motorbike?

Great news Ross. Does this mean you can upgrade the Bad News tour bus now?

I don’t think so - it’s aimed at a different type of buyer and at a very different price point.

The one I tried - thanks to Ross bringing it to the shop I work for - is the best-sounding digital amp I’ve heard.

Well done Ross, I'll toast your toast with marmalade.

Beware...fairly large look at me and give me wows post!

Like my Helix 4cm routing idea that I see a good few people doing now. Cause, you know, it's really awesome! 

Funnily enough, for the last couple of weeks I've been running a 4cm setup with the Helix, but with a whole valve amp and load box in the loop, and headphones for late night stuff. It's not too shabby.

Congrats on the job. As always, there's a meme for everything:

Awesome, congrats! I want a made-in-Japan Revstar with a USA Bigsby (as in, I'm willing to pay for one). The RSP20 is a fine platform, perhaps a limited run could be in order. Make it happen!

Congrats Ross, I've seen your work on YouTube and you've always conveyed enthusiasm for the product that you're demonstrating. Good luck with the new job.

Congrats! I'm interested to see what Yamaha do to bring back Ampeg....which is currently pretty quiet.

Love a story with a happy ending, great news, good luck in the new role.

Step 1.  Get Ross on a forum dropping hints

Congratulations.

And, it took far to long for me to realise your username was Ross Yamaha, and not Rossy Amaha.

Now I know who to hassle when my Ampeg Portaflex packs up

Can you get the spares dept. to answer the phone ?

I need a part for an RGX620DZ nut and no-one is picking up. . .

Paul_C

Ignore that request - I finally got through to be told that the Yamaha spares dept.don't sell Yamaha spares anymore, I have to phone another company who do that for them.

I phoned the second company and between us we worked out which (relatively small) part I needed. No stock in Germany, so it has to come from Japan.

6 - 8 weeks wait, followed by a bill for £53.65, for what is essentially a small rod with a thread on one end.

I really like Yamaha stuff, but sometimes you wonder if their parts pricing is just a little on the high side.

If the customer feel this price and wait time is excessive I'm sure I can make something which will do the job for a lot less than that.
