robertgoddard Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Yeah, the looper function leaves a lot to be desired. I'd rather just get an external looper. But at the prices of most loopers, Firehawk FX + Looper cost will be Helix LT prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the Helix LT looper has a longer recording time it still doesn't have the features that you need for live play. It's good for auditioning tones while editing and for practicing solos over a backing loop but not for live performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're playing solo or something and just need a short few bar rhythm backing track, either the Firehawk or the Helix's short looper works just fine (including live play). If you need complex looper functions like the serious live playing looper geeks pull off, you'll have to drop money on a full blown looper. Personally, I wouldn't choose the Helix over the Firehawk solely over the looper differences, because the differences just aren't that significant.
