Be nice to hear a comparison between Native and Ampero if you select the same amp/cab etc, just something without too many effects to check out the cab/amp sim.

I thought you said you were gonna get an ampero just to play around with it? I may be going senile I thought I read that in an earlier post. I had no idea that the NATIVE plugin DIDN"T WORK!!! Lame!!!!!!!
Make that SUPER LAME!!!! It just won't work at all? Have you gone to their support and tried to work it out? Surely the support folks can offer some sort of advice on this? It's nearly 1k worth of software!! It's expensive price tag is why I didn't buy it. So I don't have a copy and thus can't make such a vid. However, you can run some dry riffs through your helix and then put the dry guitar files as .wav files on dropbox or something and I can run them through the AMPERO and then we can cut a little video together going back and forth if you like Native plugin is terrible on my computer, all cracks and pops and I don't have an Ampero

I did order one Todd but not in stock until April 4th. I asked L6 about Native and why it was popping and crackling they just thought it was lack of resources in computer.
I'm just going to sit the Ampero on a tablet stand like Jay has in his video and have it plugged into two spare XLRs on my Scarlett so I can switch between the Helix LT (on floor under desk) and the Ampero. It it correct that when you change banks it instantly switches to the patch of the same number in the new bank, ie: If you're on bank 1 patch 1 and you switch to bank 2, it switches immediately to bank 2 patch 1? Not good if you want to go to bank 2 patch 3, you'll get a few moments of bank 2 patch 1 until your foot gets to press the right switch.

I had Native when L6 did the offer for Helix owners, £99 but got a refund.
I'm gutted I recently sold my Radial Twin City AB Y switch, might have to get another, stereo xlrs from Helix and Ampero into the front of my Scarlett, dry signal from L6 G10 into the back, flexibility -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Here's the spec Todd, I really need to upgrade but keep procrastinating as I hate getting new computers set up with everything
I can record from the Helix via stereo xlr, (I don't connect via USB now because of THIS if you remember), then I can send stereo xlr from the Ampero to the other two front inputs on the Scarlet. The Line 6 G10 has a 1/4 out AND an xlr, the xlr can go into a 1/4 input on the back of the Scarlett for the dry signal, the 1/4 out can go into the Twin City and then A and B from the Twin City can go to the Ampero and Helix LT, one or the other or both http://www.radialeng.com/product/twin-city It will give me many options Cheers Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

your CPU is MORE than enough and your SSD is plenty and your graphics chip is fine for music stuff. So really, you just need a bit more ram. 16GB is pretty standard for music workstations. I'm guessing you'll have to just ditch what you've got in there if it's taking up all the slots, which always blows, but that's music for ya. The only thing I see is that your light on ram. Other than that, you should be able to run pretty much anything you want. Including that Native plugin. What part of your system did line 6 say needed upgrading?
Yeah that ab switch is the shiz! Todd . You Here's the spec Todd, I really need to upgrade but keep procrastinating as I hate getting new computers set up with everything

They just said it sounds like I'm low on resources.
I don't have Native now anyway and I won't be buying it at the price it is, it was on offer when I got it £99. Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Reality check.
I've given it a lot of thought over the weekend and decided to cancel my order for the Ampero. I think it will only serve as a distraction and hinder my practise. I have a Helix LT which is more than enough for my needs. I need to put practise first. It was just a case of "Boys' Toys Syndrome" and Jay was so enthused about it, it made me want one.

I only really got the Helix because of GMC and the collabs and creativity workshops. It gives a lot of scope.

I do like the look of the UI on the Ampero though. Much better than the Helix sliders imho
