Ep.8 | Line 6 Helix Stadium New Brain of my Guitar Rig?!

After my Boss GX-1 failed, I didn't just rush into a replacement. I spent two weeks researching flagship modelers—watching over 20 videos and weighing every technical detail. In the end, the Line 6 Helix XL was the clear winner for the FlowVibes lounge. In this video, I break down the logic behind the upgrade, the features that sold me, and how I plan to use this as an educational tool for my "relearning" journey. I also have a special guest in my lap today—the Fender American Ultra II—which we’ll be deep-diving into in the next episode.
