To reverse playback of your loop: Press and hold the Looper switch
for ~2 seconds while the loop is playing. Press and hold the Looper
switch again to revert back to non-reverse playback.
To stop Looper playback: Double-tap the Looper footswitch. The
LED stops ashing and turns bright white, indicating a loop is stored in
memory. Press the Looper footswitch again to restart playback of the
stored loop.
To delete the recorded loop and start from scratch: Stop the Looper
and press and hold the footswitch for ~2 seconds. The LED returns to
dim white, indicating there is no loop in memory.
Output Modes
The OUTPUT MODE switch found on the Firehawk FX rear panel
cleverly congures the audio signals sent out the XLR and 1/4-inch
outputs to optimize them for your setup:
• Line Out Mode optimizes the guitar sound for direct recording and
full-range monitoring. The signal is at line level and simulates the
sound of a mic’d amp out of both the XLR and 1/4” outputs.
• Amp Out Mode is very dierent in that the guitar sound is
optimized for connecting into the front of a guitar amp. The signal
is at instrument level and is not appropriate to monitor through
headphones or a full range system, therefore, the guitar signal is
only present at the 1/4” outputs in this mode.
• Because Bluetooth
®
streamed audio does not typically sound best
playing through a guitar amp, the 1/4” outs carry only the guitar
signal when in Amp Out Mode – Bluetooth
®
audio is only present
at the XLR and Headphone outs in this mode.
As shown in the following table, the guitar audio signal is optimized for
a full range system versus for a guitar amp, and the level for each signal
also changes with the LINE and AMP Output Mode settings.

Live Edit Mode
The Live Edit Mode allows you quick access to the individual FX
parameters on the Firehawk FX device as an alternative to using the
Firehawk Remote app for adjusting your FX settings. The steps are as
follows.
Editing FX Parameters
• Enter Live Edit Mode by simultaneously pressing both the
Bank Up  and Bank Down  footswitches. The two rows of
footswitches, FS1–FS5 and A–D, will alternate ashing. You'll see
abbreviations for the processing blocks accessible for each row of
footswitches are displayed in the LCD to help you choose what you
want to edit. As indicated, the FX and Looper blocks are accessed
via FS1–FS5 and the Amp, Cab & EQ are accessed via A–C.
