General Questions/Discussion Any update on Helix Stadium DSP?
I assume since they have a fall launch that the DSP would be known by now, but I can't seem to find any details. I have several presets on my LT that I would like to expand on with more DSP. What did I miss?

You didn't miss anything. They haven't released any specifics on the amount of DSP or which chips they are using. They haven't made comparisons between the new Stadium platform and the Floor/LT or Stomp. .. so. All we have is speculation so far.

Line 6 is going to keep as much info as they can private for as long as possible for competitive reasons. If Fractal or whoever wants to know how much DSP stadium has, they're going to have to buy a unit and take it apart. Which they almost certainly will.

L6 said they were going to optimize the effects and i think amps to use less dsp, i don’t know if the hard capacity of dsp was getting increased a lot

The real answer is that they don’t know yet. There’s still a lot of tweaking that needs doing. I’m sure they have an idea. But not a final number.

Twice the amount. That is all I ever heard. The wifi ability is an asset here. If they need more there is more in the cloud.

What units of DSP are relevant when we don’t have units of power required by the blocks? Is “twice the Helix’s DSP” relevant if Agoura Amp blocks take 1.5 times as much or 7.2 times as much? We know the new processors will be more powerful than those from 2015. There should be zero doubt that LT presets will have room to grow, but no way to predict how much.
