i just bought one today, after two weeks of watching reviews and youtube videos, also i went to the store and tried the helix, i went buying a headrush... im a former Hd500x user. But the headrush will save my time easier to use and esit tones. Time is gold... 👍🏼

Enjoy these vids you've been making of the Headrush and especially the ambient riffs you've been doing, they sound great. There seems a big difference between the presets and the custom patches so the more custom tones videos, the more idea we can all get of tones it's capable of. Any future vids showing the wah, or any shootouts you could do with other gear are much appreciated, as I'm trying to choose between this, Ax8 and Helix. The layout of this seems great, just a question mark of the tones.

Hey Man! Great Video - Question though, the big sell point on paper is the effect bleed and zero latency changes - how does this beast perform going from Heavy patches to clean patches with different effect settings?

@Madeyes6 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Rabea. Great work as ever. I’m fairly new to playing so I don’t know all the different tones & settings if all the makes of amps & pedals. A mate looked at the list of amps on my headrush & made a guess at some but is there a list available which will tell you which makes the various models on the board are designed to mimic as I have no clue. When I watch your sounds like videos I don’t know which pedals or amps etc to choose from my headrush aa I don’t know which they are. Keep up the good work. Ooh & for kicks could you do a sounds like big country vid? Ebows everywhere!!

Thanks for a very simple, straightforward demo. This Headrush interface really sells itself, though. Do you have any experience using the FX Loop(s)? If so, how is the sound performance? FX loops on on some processors seem to be after thoughts for the manufacturers, and don't really perform that well. I'm particularly interested in running line outs from other processors into the Headrush. Any impressions you can post would be appreciated. rgds

Just ordered a Head Rush to use as effects only in 4-cable method with my Friedman Be 50 and 4x12 cab. I was hoping to possible replace the heavy Friedman head but thus far I have yet to hear a mid to high gain tone that did not sound fizzy on the top end. That is the instant give away to my ears. Maybe that is just over YT and once i get the HR into my studio it will sound better.....let's hope. It would be ideal to have the HR into a clean power amp into the 4x12 cab but not sure that would sound good enough. looking forward to trying it out. Great video B!

@jesus4pincho 4 жыл бұрын

Get a mooer baby bomb and delete the cab block on the headrush, connect them to your 4x12 (if it is 8 or 16 ohm) and you'll have an amazing sound and very loud!!!

This pedal looks fantastic but for the price I'm much more interested in the Zoom G5n. I know the Zoom isn't as ergonomic as the Headrush but I was wondering was what your opinion on the Zoom in comparision to this one. Are the sound of the Zoom satisfying for you and is the expression pedal easy to use ?

I think you missed using the 4 chord method. You can run with board separating the pre amp and power amp of a blackstar lets say. Than you can decide which board FX you in front of blackstar pre amp, or after that and before the power amp. Also the IR downloads you can put on here. I gotta get me one of these.
