Looper Footswitch Mode
A third footswitch mode—Looper mode—is only available if a Looper block has been
assigned to a footswitch in Stomp mode. Nearly all factory presets have a Looper
block assigned to a footswitch, but your custom presets may not.

Switch Description
Step on to start recording a loop. Step on to end the loop and
immediately start playback. Step on to overdub additional parts. Step
on again to stop playback.
If you make a mistake on your last overdub, step on UNDO to erase it.
Step on to play the recorded loop once through.
Recording at full speed and then switching to 1/2 speed will also drop
the loop down one octave. Recording at 1/2 speed will double your
looping memory and switching to full speed will cause the loop to play
at double speed (up an octave).
Step on REV/FWD to hear your loop backwards.
NOTE: If you press while loop playback is stopped, this will always record a
new loop, and any previous recording will be discarded.
IMPORTANT! You may change presets while looping, but loop playback will
stop unless the preset you select includes the same type of looper block (mono
or stereo) on the same path (1 or 2) and is assigned to a footswitch.
NOTE: While in Looper mode, stepping on BANK or BANK temporarily
enters Preset mode. Once you’ve selected a preset, Helix LT returns to Looper
mode.
2. To return to the previous mode, press FS6.

to reach down and twist knobs, Pedal Edit mode will be your new best friend. Although
Pedal Edit is not intended to replace proper controller assignment, in a pinch, it can
also be used to tweak one parameter at a time during a performance.
1. Hold FS6 (MODE) for two seconds.

If the preset has more than eight processing blocks, you may not see the block
you want. Press FS6 one or more times until you do.
NOTE: Selecting a block in Pedal Edit mode has no correlation to any foot-
switch assignment it may have.
