Eventually, I went for the firehawk. I liked the Helix LT, but it did not give me much more at this point, at least for the 600 euro difference. I will revert with my opinion, once I get my hands on it. Thanks everyone for your help!

Well, nicely explained. And BTW, another question I would have is this: I saw a youtube video (cant seem to bring it up at the moment, cant find it) where an acoustic guitar is used, with a cab/speaker patch, and there's distorsion and el guitar effects that are pretty amazing in my opinion ( REMINDER: I am an acoustic player- show patience pls). If I could get a descent el. guitar sound out of my acoustics, that would be a HUGE plus in my set-up, being able to incorporate these sounds in my loops, in and out of choruses, fatten the sound. That's whats modeling is all about right? Thanks so much.

Thanks. I think that the FH is the one to go at the moment, but if the Heliz does sound better, I might just break the piggy bank and go for it, as said I will also need to plug in an electric, so maybe looking for a good future based purchase.

Hi, Thanks for the post. As said, I will be side-playing some electric guitar with a small band, and at that time, yes, I will use some amp staff. Nothing fancy though. 500 plus is a lot, but at least now I know that the effects sound better, so that's a plus.

Hello everyone, Looking for help. I play live with an acoustic looping rig, based on Voicelive 3, through stagesource speaker(s) and M20D. I have been a previous owner of DL4 and M9, effects that I was using to "strengthen" my loops and overall sound, using mostly the amazing sweep echo, as well as other effects from these units. I wanna separate Voice/looping board from effects board. I am looking to purchase one of the multi-effects units from L6, Helix LT, pod 500x or Firehawk. I wanna place it before my Voicelive unit. I will mostly use delays, mods as well as some swell effects. I use a couple of Gibsons (Sheryl crow and Elvis dove) both equiped with LR Baggs Anthems. That said I need no alter in tone, when playing with the effects off. I also need to use the ME unit on its own with an electric guitar for some gigs. I would much appreciate any opinions and recommendations, I really like the helix LT, but its twice the price of the POD 500x and the firehawk. Is there sound differences? Quality of build? Other? thanks so much for your time. Nikos
