The Line 6 Helix Stadium Native Amplifier & Effects Plugin Brings the Power of Helix Stadium Processors to Your Studio

CALABASAS, CA, August 4, 2026 — Line 6 today introduced the Helix® Stadium Native amplifier and effects plugin, bringing the acclaimed sound and extensive tone-creation capabilities of Helix Stadium hardware processors directly into your DAW. Line 6 is also offering a streamlined free “Intro” license—the first free plugin in the company’s history.

“Helix Stadium Native includes all the same amp, cab, and effects models as our highly acclaimed Helix Stadium processors and seamlessly integrates with them,” said Eric Klein, Chief Product Design Architect. “But Helix Stadium Native isn’t only 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.”

Helix Stadium Native features 132 amplifier models—with a total of 152 channels—many created using the Agoura™ modeling methodology that established new benchmarks for extraordinary sound and responsiveness to playing dynamics. There are also more than 60 speaker cabinet models and 260 studio-quality effects—including dozens of coveted vintage and contemporary stompboxes. Cabinet IRs and Proxy™ clones can also be loaded.

The Helix Stadium Native user interface presents powerful tone-crafting possibilities in a clean and easily navigable form that will be especially familiar to Helix Stadium hardware and Helix Stadium Edit software users. Selecting and routing amps, cabs, and effects is straightforward, even when creating presets with complex signal chains, and unique features such as Focus View, Hype, and Preset Clips further enhance the experience.
Helix Stadium Native supports AAX, AU, and VST3 platforms on macOS® and Windows® and offers sample rates from 44.1kHz to 192kHz.

The free Intro license of Helix Stadium Native provides a curated set of models at no cost and with no time limit. It includes five amps paired with matching cabs, 16 effects, and Proxy clone and Cab IR loading.
