I like that he speaks fast. Keeps my ADD in check.

2023 update here. Using Native THROUGH MY HX Stomp, I manage to get the same exact tones of the new Tonex modeler software, using the Tonex cabs. Using flat studio headphones/ monitors, I get the same character/ quality/ greatness, dynamic range.

Now all we need is Line 6 to make a corresponding, reasonably priced audio interface with 1/4", XLR and a powered VDI port for us Variax users!

Really well done. Clear and succinct. I also liked that I could hear lots of different guitar sounds. This looks like a good amp emulator option!

Just trying the demo out, hands down beats Guitar Rig, Amplitube and all the rest. My only reservation is it seems to be fairly CPU intensive on some presets.

Line6 should make this free for Helix owners

Who did the percussion for his loop? It's a nightmare

I’ve been using 2 Eleven Racks for years. When it comes to plugins vs. outboard hardware, one must remember that with plugins one can tweak to heart’s desire in the DAW with other plugs such as EQ, Eventide Fission, Air Kill, etc, etc....which is virtually limitless. Mitch is the best with knowledge and presentation. Yes...plugins can be pricey, but constant innovation is where processing is headed, and Factory Presets will only improve over time. I may enter the “Helix world” at some point, as they seem to have risen to the top crop of processing. Guitarists will almost pursue anything for tone...that said...plugins are here to stay. I’ve listened to other YouTube vids reviewing this Helix Native plug, and I must admit that Mitch makes it sound great imho.

have purchased my Helix Native via Sweetwater after I purchased my Helix from there as I wish I could show you my screenshot, but I can't here. The text is EXTREMELY small and I can barely see everything. Your Helix Native window in Studio One, which is the same DAW I use, is super large and the text is perfectly readable. What did you do to get that window to look that way? (and note, I have ALREADY used the little expanding thing at the bottom right of the Helix Native window; all that does is make the window bigger; it does not change the text size). I'm using Studio One from a laptop. Your help is greatly appreciated. I'm a 10+ year Sweetwater customer; wouldn't purchase anything anywhere else, and my sales engineer Kenny Stratton is awesome!

I wonder can you use the line 6 floor controller with midi so you can actually have an expression pedal or a mini physical version of the helix

I find the UI refreshing. Tired of the silly little graphical representations of gear. I'll probably pick it up used on KVR in a year or so.

Why didn't they make it standalone? I don't want my DAW running using processing power!

What is the difference between Native and HX Edit? Am I missing something?

Mitch, would you be willing to use this at church rather than your ampless pedalboard?

Great review! How many amps can I stack per rig? Dual tones or more?
