The Helix Stadium Native amp and effects plugin brings the supreme sound and immense tone-creation power of Helix Stadium hardware processors to your DAW with seamless integration between the two. It features the same guitar and bass amp, cab, and effects models—including many amps modeled using our highly acclaimed Agoura methodology—and also supports cab IR and Proxy clone loading. The player-friendly GUI lets you quickly and easily craft, edit, and navigate presets—and the default Hardware Compatibility mode ensures that presets created or edited within Helix Stadium Native are fully compatible with Helix Stadium hardware processors. But Helix Stadium Native isn’t just for guitarists and bassists. It also provides powerful tools for producers and engineers, sound designers, film/TV/game composers, electronic musicians, and anyone else seeking to craft new and inspiring sounds. A fully functional 15-day trial license of Helix Stadium Native is available, as is a more streamlined free Helix Stadium Native Intro license.
