HeadRush Pedalboard Multi FX Processor

Full Description

Huge selection of tones

Whether you’re aiming for vibrant American styles of cleans, gnarly British dirty tones, or a combination of the two with octave and modulation effects – the HeadRush can do it all. Powered by the newest version of AVID Eleven Rack HD Expanded software, this pedalboard is packed with authentic amplifier models, cabinets, microphones, and effects.

The simple-to-assign switches mean building your perfect pedalboard is incredibly easy. The expression pedal can link up to four (eight if you use the additional expression pedal input) effects or amplifier parameters per patch. This allows you to control any parameter you choose without your hands ever leaving the fretboard. Signal routing is near limitless, with pre-sets for stereo amplifiers, wet/dry/wet rigs, and 4-cable method patches. You can even assign outputs to split dry and wet signals and run simultaneously, making simple recording and incredibly versatile live performance

Super-fast workflow

The HeadRush Pedalboard is the new standard in multi-effects units. Featuring an intuitive multi-touch 7” screen which allows you to make changes to your sound without diving into a manual every two minutes. Much like a smartphone or tablet, the touch screen allows for immediate changes, putting all the power at your fingertips. Moving pedals around in your signal chain or changing any parameters will be simple and easy, a single drag and drop not only helps to speed up for workflow, but also means you spend less time with your hands away from your instrument – so you can focus on your performance first.

The reinforced touchscreen is not only easy to navigate, but also incredibly clear from all angles. Whether you’re crammed into a pub corner with no light or you’re in a professional strobe setup on a large stage, the touchscreen display provides visual clarity no matter where you take it. The premium LED scribble strips above each of the 12 footswitches allow you to keep track of which effect is assigned to any given footswitch with just a quick glance.

Recording, connectivity & re-amp capabilities

The HeadRush can be used either as a standalone unit or it can easily integrate into your current setup. Two XLR outputs (with a ground lift switch) allow you to go directly into a desk, while two ¼ inch jack output allow for stereo amp set-up (you can also go into a desk with the additional line-level boost). The unit also boasts a stereo FX loop, allowing you to integrate pedals already featured within your rig, expanding your sound further.

Packed with additional USB connectivity on the back of the HeadRush, the versatility of this pedal is truly fantastic. The USB can simply, easily and effectively transfer your patches onto your computer for safekeeping, as well as download patches from the HeadRush Cloud (which allows users to share patches with one and other). You can also upload your own cabinet Impulse Responses (IRs) as well as 3 new warp effects such as the DROP TUNE, Chord Whammy, and Time Warp to the HeadRush, meaning you can expand your sound with custom impulses. You can also record and re-amp via the USB connection. The USB allows for four channels in an out, including a stereo dry and wet signal all at 24-bit rate, 96kHz sample rate, meaning every note is captured with extremely high clarity and quality. In order to re-amp, once the board is connected to your DAW, simply send the signal to the HeadRush, set the HeadRush to ‘Re-Amp’ in the USB settings and hit record.

The HeadRush amp and FX library is continuously expanding. Users have spoke and the creators have listened, delivering with four new amp models, two new overdrive settings, a ferocious fuzz pedal, and a brilliant bass amp.

Bassists aren’t excluded here, they will be able to add the B Dist 7000 to their library, inspired heavily by the Darkglass Microtubes.
