    Excellent.

  • Yep. Guess this means a ramp in PR and a release in the next couple of weeks maybe (as a guess).

    Will be demoing for sure.

    I honestly don't understand the marketing goal here - we've already had the announcement, so it seems a little strange to send us all yet another email saying "soon" without any release date. If they had to send out an announcement, surely it would've been smarter to wait until there was a concrete date? For me, at least, it's put a thin layer of frustration over the top of a big ol' lump of excitement.

    We're due to start recording guitars and bass for our album shortly, and this could prove to be really useful. I hope they put out a demo version too, because I need to know that it's going to install and run on my very-much-non-standard system before I drop that much cash on it.

  • We have - as people who've been following this for months, but not everyone is in that position. Plus plugin hype is pretty common these days, I'd love to see a chart showing sales compared to length of gearslutz thread.

    I thought a demo was confirmed but possibly I just imagined it?

    Well I can tell you that things like Gearslutz threads definitely do help with sales.

    True, but the only people who got the email are the ones who are already signed up, and therefore - by definition - already know it's coming :)

    I do seem to recall that there's a demo version, but that was when the release was also "sometime around February/March", so we know at least one thing's changed :D

    no, that email came to my general Line6 account email, not the one I used to register interest

    Ah, fair enough. I didn't get it on my general Line 6 one, but I did on the one I used for the Helix mailing list. I suppose I can expect it to turn up a second time at some point...

    Coming Soon! The thing that's been coming soon for ages! 
    Spot on .. it was on the website ages ago and then promptly vanished without trace. I got an email to say I'd get a big discount as I have the POD Farm plugin. Depending on the price I might have a punt but I find Amplitube good for what I need as a plugin.

  • Not sure what the deal with that email is. I'm guessing it's just standard fare marketing ramp up, considering we'll more than likely drop Helix Native next week.

    With all the anticipation I'm now getting slightly worried it won't make me play like Paul Hindmarsh

    I think they said $399, so I assume it will be £399.

    Lets just hope they don't use iLok.

    I'm hoping that there is some way to control the plugin with a floorboard, maybe the one from the rack.
