As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb

I also really like the Roland Cube 10w, as a totally different option for £130- the street version is a great one man PA.
THRs are fantastic for practice - they look good in any setting, are unobtrusive and I find that I can feel the desire to have a little strum and be playing in a matter of seconds - literally. With the Helix, it's very easy to go down the rabbit hole of patches and tweaking - and I'm sure we all know the experience of finally getting the sound we want and then having no time to play.
Bottom line though, there's loads to choose from. You could have a little valve amp with simple controls (there's a Fender Pro Jr. for sale in the classifieds now if that's your vibe, for example), or a small, living room-friendly digital amp like the THR or Spark, modeller/software through monitor speakers or into a traditional cab via power amp, or a giggable valve amp played at low volume with pedals or attenuated.
FWIW I started off trying to get a home volume valve amp that would be the best of all worlds and it just didn't work for me. I found that I was much happier with a 30w, 2x12 valve amp played quietly with a Box of Rock-type pedal in front, or a Helix with a power amp and traditional cab. You really need to try a few things out and see what's right for you. Enjoy the journey!

which I assume is a foot switch ?
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
However for home use I use my Helix. Tis wonderful having so many different tones - including bass amps.
