Browse Helix Models and Effects

Helix currently supports 111 amplifier models, 276 effects, 56 speaker cab models, and 16 microphones. On top of all that you also have the ability to load Impulse Responses (IRs) that you can grab from free or paid sources. Go have fun.

Part looper, part sampler, part inspiration generator, part performance instrument, the Shuffling Looper intelligently chops up your playing and gives you realtime control over reordering, octave shifting, reversing, and repeating. It's all immense fun but you'll want to familiarize yourself with its controls:

Add Looper > Shuffling Looper to a preset and assign it to a footswitch.

Turn Knob 1 (Slices) to set the number of slices your loop will be chopped into. 8 slices is the default.

Press the switch to begin recording. The LED lights red, indicating the loop is recording.

At the end of your loop, press the switch. The LED lights green and the sliced loop sequence immediately plays.

During playback, adjust the following knobs (or assign them to controllers, like expression pedals):
Slices—Changes the number of slices your loop will be chopped into

SeqLength—Determines the number of slices in the sequence. This can be changed even after recording a loop
Shuffle—Determines the likelihood of slices shuffling/reordering
Octave—Determines the likelihood of slices playing back an octave higher or lower
Reverse—Determines the likelihood of slices playing backwards
Repeat—Determines the likelihood of slices repeating
Smoothing—Higher values apply smoothing between slices and can give a synth-pad type quality, lower values maintain transients. Or set it just high enough to avoid pops and clicks
Seq Drift—Determines the likelihood of the entire slice sequence changing every time it loops around. When set to 0.0, the same sequence loops forever; when set to 10.0, the sequence changes completely every time it loops TIP: Assign this parameter to a footswitch set to toggle between a higher number and 0.0. If you hear a random sequence you want to maintain, press the switch to set Seq Drift to 0.0, and it'll repeat that way indefinitely
Low Cut—Applies a low cut (or high pass) filter to the loop, letting you remove looper signal below a certain frequency
High Cut—Applies a high cut (or low pass) filter to the loop, letting you remove looper signal above a certain frequency
Want to change it up? While the loop is playing, press the switch to randomize its slice sequence.
Quickly double-press the switch. Playback/recording stops and the LED lights white, indicating a loop is in memory. Press again to restart.
While the loop is playing or stopped, press and hold the switch. The recording is deleted and the LED lights dim white.
