In theory it'd be perfect for me assuming identical processing power, but it's not very much cheaper if it's $999, though I guess if that ends up as $850 street price then it'll probably do very well. Hmm...
I expect this will settle at about £799
But note this -
- Registered Helix LT owners can purchase the Helix Native plug-in for $299 (normally $399; registered Helix and Helix Rack owners get it for $99)
So if you were going to get Native anyway it is worth bearing that in mind, makes the total price a little closer.If I ever needed a back up to my rack I'd probably have this version as the spare.

Realistically the only thing I'd miss would be the scribble strips. But I've managed for years putting coloured tape on everything so it's not like there's no cheap and quick fix for longer range visibility.

vs £1224 for the full fat option

I do use SPDIF with my Fractal unit for recording/reamping, but a plugin negates that anyway as you don't have to reamp at all.
I couldn't have justified the expense of a full Helix and was a bit underwhelmed by the Amplifire when I compared it to the Helix so the LT is great news.
Still, I'd rather they'd cut it down a bit further - maybe just one loop and one in/out - and brought the price down a bit more.
Interesting part is that the L6 dude in the Guitar Center video said, "...the same HX technology as the whole Helix family". More to come on top of Helix Native? Perhaps a replacement for the M9/M13?
