i don't really want to haul it out and plumb it in to my mixing desk and outboard every time I want to record or even mix something on the iMac plus the plug in will recall its settings track by track without you having to manually save and take. It's of which patch you used on which track
slmetimes I go down to Newcastle to record Drums or vocals and unless I print the guitar tracks (which I generally don't do till mix stage) I have to haul and plumb in the Helix too
in short if you already have a Helix and you do recording 99 quid is a bargain for the convenience
With a Helix plugin, I could replace all of that with the TC Mimiq, a couple of cables and the interface and reclaim both the desk and all the space below and behind it. This is what I always wanted to do with the Eleven plugin, but Avid - in their infinite wisdom - refuse to allow the use of it outside Pro Tools.
However, since @rossyamaha asked earlier...it's supposed to be available in April.
As a side note - my room is infinitely better for mixing now there aren't a bunch of cabs and heads in there (and I've put acoustic paneling in instead)
With that said...whether it's a Headrush, Helix or Helix Native...there will be a lot less clutter. This is the year I finally go fully-digital, I think.
I'm not quite 100% digital, still have bass preamp pedals as they're way faster to work with than anything else I've found. Saying that if the Darkglass model is good in the Helix then I'd be pretty interested in the plugin just for bass. The clips Drew has sent with Helix on bass have sounded really good I've thought.
Will be picking the native version up though.
That's rather lovely of them.

Install Native and Reaper on a second machine (eg laptop), then you can run Reaper as a slave on that one and offload all the Helix processing to it over the network (you'll need a gigabit network, or very fast wireless).
The cool thing is I will always get through a gig. If my amp blows, I have a set of presets using amp models so I can quickly switch over without anyone knowing whats going on.
I play guitar and take photos of stuff. I also like beans on toast.
