Having happily played countless gigs with the Line 6 Helix Floor, purchasing the plug-in version of the Helix was, and still is, a no-brainer. Helix Native provides all the same amps and effects in plug-in form, and you can currently save a massive $240 on the software at Sweetwater, totalling just $159.99.
And if you already own a Helix Floor, LT, Stomp, or Rack, it's even cheaper at only $39.99.
Boasting over 60 amplifiers, more than 100 effects, and over 30 cabinets, I regularly use Helix native to record everything from original music to gear demos, as it's versatile, easy to use, and most importantly, sounds great.
Its interface is almost identical to the hardware, so if you are familiar with the Helix units, you will have no problem adjusting. And for those who are brand new to the Helix lineup, the intuitive block-based, drag-and-drop system will take no time to figure out.
A quick heads up - on some monitors, you may need to change DPI settings to get the plug-in displaying properly, but once you've done that, you will be good to go.
If you're on the hunt for a recording solution that bypasses the need for micing a heavy amplifier you've dragged into a studio, Helix Native should absolutely be on your radar.
