Headrush Prime First Look - Everything you need to know & Overview

Күн бұрынHeadrush Prime First Look - Everything you need to know
This board literally does it all. It has amp capturing, a practice program, an advanced looper, seamless switching, scenes, scribble strips, recording interface, touch screen, dual press on all buttons, hands free tweaking and much more. I don't think any floorboard on the market can compete with the wide range of what this Headrush can do!

In terms of usability, workflow and GUI, I think the Headrush Prime has nailed it. And with all the new extras (vocals/auto-tune, profiler, number of foot switches, etc) this is now a monster modeller. In terms of sound, it sounds great but I'd prefer to hear it in the flesh before passing any judgment - YT is not the best medium. I am sorely tempted to buy one. I know a lot of people are going to say it's too big but quite honestly I think that's being picky. Given the fact that the GUI is brilliant, you won't need to hook it up to a PC. As for taking it on the road - come one, it's not a deal-breaker.

Thanks for this video.. Even as a newb to Headrush you were able to give a great overview... That's how easy and intuitive it is. Totally disagree about desktop editor though. I thought that at first too (I have all the pedals too) but the touch screen interface is so superior to every unit I have ever used and is perfect. Put it on the desk when you edit. The power button... it prompts if you want to power off which is perfect too. A hard switch will break eventually and this won't. I grabbed one of these to add to my collection because it's only a matter of time before the price goes up and matches the other units out there. This is a steal at this point. Took them a while but now they are light years ahead of the Quadcore, Fractal, Helix...

Second... how do you think this would work going in to a Seymour Duncan Powerstage 200... going into a 2x12 cab? Can i shut cab sim, while still using amp sim? Can i shut on and off cab/amp sim separately to each output. For example, shut of cab sim for the 1/4 jack output but leave amo AND cab sim on for the XLR output?

Hey there Steve! Great review. I have an important question that may sway me to retire my PB and get the Prime. A current issue I have when using the detuner is the very noticeable latency when drop tuning lets say 3 half steps down. Can you give it a shot and see how it does with some heavy distortion riffs while detuned a few steps? Im very curious to see how much better the DSP is! Also I am a lead singer and guitarist so am also curious how well the prime keeps up with both vocals and guitar going while detuned. I hope this makes sense and I appreciate any feedback you can give! Im sure there are others in a similar situation, thanks! 🤘🏼

To me, unlike most, as long as they have models, I don't really care about the cloning business since especially with Plexis, there are so many different versions and types of that sound, someone's perfect clone might be ice picks to me.

Pretty cool. They seem to be listening to what people are asking for unlike some of the competitors. The only thing they are going against the trends is with the size of the unit.

Its funny, some people complain Quad Cortex is too small, now this could be too big. I do think its a touch big way too big LOL but its easy to see everything

@@SteveSterlacci I actually like the form factor of the Fractal AX8. Easy to fit a 7" touch screen up there and its slightly bigger than the QC which I felt was too small to access the switches easily.

How much does your amps, cabs and analog pedalboard weigh?
@scottakam Жыл бұрын
@@robertsmith8282 Sure a tube amp and pedal board are bigger/heavier but most of them never leave the house. I think this is competing with the multi fx units and it's on the big side for that. I think Line 6 sells way more HX Stomps than they do Helix floor units. Still looks very cool though.

Is it possible to split the output for guitar and the mic ? For example: XLR Out L is assigned to guitar, XLR Out R to vocals ? If not it's not that useful when playing live...

my first question is how much dsp is there really. and what are the specifics. how many process can it handle at once? everything else it does doesnt matter if dsp isnt up to par.

You're talking about the size and yes the Headrush is big, but what I use with my Kemper Stage is a music stand that is tilted back and I use a music stand for my Behringer X-Touch with 8 faders and a master fader.

If it's all about tone and the modeler tones are sub-par, then it's going to come down to quality of the amp capture tones. So a QC/TONEX/Prime comparison is in order, IMO. This thing must have a high-powered CPU, so is there a fan? Is it noisy?

It would be hard to leave my Helix rack and Tonex pedal in loop for this. I think the big ? is what will line 6 do, hardware or software update to get the capturing/cloning/profiling, I'm not sure how this tech is made but it feels an IR based tech that should be incorporated the same way

Thanks man for the video! Really cool unit! However, I kind of understand the amps do not sound as good as the Helix, right? Is it this far from the Helix? Cuz even this unit has great features, at the end of the day, it is the sound that is the most important, right?
@SteveSterlacci Жыл бұрын
It probably can sound close with enough dialing in. I need more time on it before definitely saying it, but so far helix is better

So... Does it contain stock amp *models* AND do amp cloning? Or, is it ONLY amp cloning and basically unusable out of the box if you don't have any amps to clone? Thx for the vid, Steve!
@SteveSterlacci Жыл бұрын
Thanks for checking it out! I believe its all the same amps from the previous floorboard. Plenty of stock models, but no stock "clones" of real amps. You can use the models and download users clones

Hey, Steve hope all is well with you. I want to ask you put on the spot, I'm am very much into Amp Modeling. I have the MX5, but I would to upgrade to the Prime. Can you please in your opinion which, amp modeler pedalboard sounds like the real the Fractal or the Headrush? Thank you.

The amp sounds are much better in fractal IMO. But HR is way easier to use and is just as capable
