![]() ![]() I found I could dial in pretty much any tone I needed and that there are more than enough built-in effects within Helix Native to create the tone I wanted. The neat and simple layout is a huge bonus when using this plug-in in your DAW. I own a Helix LT so this was familiar territory straight away, which I really enjoyed as I didn’t need to go reading manuals or getting frustrated with overly complex GUIs. It is all very easy to use and if you have tried a Helix floor pedal it should make perfect sense to you. The interface lets you click and select from the various amp, cab and effects options, rather than using a ‘drag and drop’ interface. Now, I would suggest that when starting out that you check a few of these presets out and see how the virtual signal chains are set up, then go on and build your own custom patches from scratch. The Helix Native software comes with the usual set of patches that are based upon certain ‘signature sounds’ from various famous songs and players, they are named in such a way that it is easy to guess what they are alluding to, without naming the artist or song outright. There are plenty of amp/cab choices that covers most bases and also a good helping of effects to complement them. The GUI is easy on the eye, clean and crisp, so easy to navigate which is a huge plus compared to a few of the other software packages I have tried over the years.Ĭonsidering their relatively long history making virtual models, the Helix Native does a pretty decent job of sounding good in a mix. I’ve been running it on both my iMac and MacBook Pro under OSX via Logic Pro X as it requires a DAW to run, unlike a few of its competitors which can run standalone. The Helix Native takes this heritage bang up to date and is essentially the software heart of the Helix floor pedal system loaded up on your computer. Having pioneered the virtual amp world with their ‘kidney bean’ shaped Pod back in the late ’90s, Line 6 has had plenty of time to develop virtual amps, cabinets and effects systems for us recording/gigging guitarists. Helix Native packs a lot into one package Line 6 Helix Native ![]()
