YouTube video Jack Thammarat · 2026-09 — Full Stadium XL review

Jack Thammarat's video runs real presets through the Stadium XL rather than touring the menus, so it is a better guide to how the Agoura engine sits in a performance.

Why it matters

It arrived with the Agoura amp modelling engine and Proxy amp cloning that Line 6 introduced with the new Stadium generation, announced in June 2025 and shipping from November 2025. The XL package adds an expression pedal and scribble strips, along with an 8-inch colour touchscreen, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and a USB audio interface. Hype, Showcase and Focus View are the performance tools layered on top of the modelling.

Note
