For sure I’m actually trading my helix for it… I sing to so that pitch correction just to smooth out vocals is a game changer

@@Positivedistractions yeah it was really smart of them to put in vocal processing, I don't even sing and I want access to that.

Just buy it, it’s awesome !

Why

@@adhasky Because to me this feels like the "second-step" in this new era of modelers we now live in (first step arguably being the Neural QC) - I wouldn't be surprised if the next Helix looks/functions a lot like this. It's taken the innovations/features that things like the QC have done (pedal capturing, touch-screen UI, etc), and iterated/improved on things even further. Like the inclusion of Autotune is pretty huge, and Headrush has always been ahead of the curve with their user-interfaces. It's just nice to see these companies competing and pushing things forward, creating more powerful and versatile "workstations" like this.

Happy with Quad Cortex except they still haven't given you any of the features they promised at launch 3 years ago like desktop editor or the ability to use your previously purchased Neural DSP plugins and improving the cheap low quality power supply and the monthly amp model updates. all things they stated and used in marketing to sell the product and get pre orders yet failed to deliver on in all this time

@@svpmusic8140 You’re not wrong but I never needed a desktop editor and still don’t care about that. The ‘cheap’ power supply has served me well for many years and many gigs. I have more the enough models and captures to reproduce any sound I need. The Plug-in porting is stll a disappointment but I’ll survive.

@@tonepilot it's more a case these were things they based all the marketing on to get pre-orders then once they released the product they pretty much abandoned it. mind you they might realise now they got to pick up there game now thing like this and tone X are coming out and are more affordable

​@@svpmusic8140 THIS lol QC sad

I’m very happy with my Quad Cortex. Honestly, most all of the modelers are quite great.

I used to have a Headrush pedalboard (the big one) and loved the sound of it. It is less "tweakeable" than other units but that was not a con for me. If any it's a pro since I got less "options paralysis". But eventually, the lack of a soft interface was a deal breaker for my personal use. I ended up selling it and buying a Helix LT. And while it has more bells and whistles, the audio quality is pretty much on par (IF you are willing to tweak a little... there's a point for the HR). But the game changer is the control soft and the easy-to-use USB interface (in the HR it was a nightmare).

They have been hinting at that feature, at least with a tablet or mobile, with the Prime using the new Bluetooth. Not sure if/when it's coming, but it looks like they've been hinting at it

Really, I’m trying to get away from the computer.

@@kh485 Good for you that it's not necessary to use any Headrush products, and even if they add some sort of computer interface, it won't be necessary to use it

While I understand your sentiment, and agree to an extent, I find myself doing everything I need to do on the touchscreen. I think if they do add an app it should be for an iPad and not a computer. It makes more sense to put the iPad nearby and use the larger screen. Overall, I don't think it's really necessary. I'll gladly install the app should it ever come later but if it never does I won't lose any sleep.

can't imagine a scenario where someone would ever need 30mins of loop time lol

@@MattPula Unless you are in a stoner metal band

@@AtomicMeatballGuitar 😂 you got me there, gotta have the 30min loop of drone tone under everything

Pretty sure that Headrush still is way behind Neural DSP and Fractal, from what I heard so far.

​@@MatthiasBuesing way behind in terms of what?

​@Matthias Buesing not at all!

@@SpinGoldmusicI think they are indicating tone wise it’s way behind. To me, it sounds like the previous amp models that were available

@@SpinGoldmusic Authenticity, Response etc.

Who cares if it’s the standard? If you want one, just buy one!

@@officialWWM There's lots of reasons to care. When this style becomes the standard it means that more advanced versions with varying features and more cost effective versions and smaller versions will start to exist. Yes, this headrush is pretty cool, but it's still a lot of cash and it's big and it's simply not for everyone. However I do think that as this becomes standard and better/cheaper it will be for everyone.

Hahahaha the Standard? That it will never be. If you like it and does what you need then that's what matters. ON A PRO LEVEL? HAHAHA NA....NEVER, EVERYONE SHOULD FEAR KEMPER II!! AS THEY STARTED THIS HIGH END PROFILING OR CAPTURE MARKET OR THE WANNA BES THAT EQ MATCH!!. Not the same. It seems good on price for what it is.. But people are sleeping on KEMPER even though they started this whole "Copy or PROFILE or Capture an amp." Wait and see

@@JC-fj7oo I don’t think there is any one product that is for “everyone”. There’s loads of options and choices out there at all different price points…you just buy what suits your needs and budget.

@@officialWWM well yeah that's what I said.

I just received mine, was curious too. Getting to know it now...

@@Bridging_the_Political_Dividehow has it been for you I’m debating the prime or core

Get it yet?

not just to him these days.

Agree 100%. It's a shame they haven't done much if anything to expand the built-in amps.

Surely tone presets, or captures can be downloaded too.

It only has one FX send/return? Major deal breaker. Wow, they whiffed.

Yea it can

USB-B is basically an audio industry standard at this point. I would be more concerned if it didn't use USB-B tbh, its a really solid connector for the most part.

On my Prime the cable is not difficult to insert or remove. I think the failures happen when the jack is tight on the plug, and you loosen it from the board and short it out? I don't see that happening with my unit.

They certainly do. I agree.

Head Rush is super user friendly and I love how easy it is to create your own rigs so you can cover your favorite artists.

How do you like the Tonex?

@@MotownGuitarJoe Just for clarification, I bought the Tone X software and not the pedal. The Tone X pedal doesn't work for me for the simple reason that I own zero analog pedal, sold all of them when I decided for going 100% digital, and I have to relyon amplitude5 for effects. My experience with the tone x software has more downs than ups unfortunately, but I found an use for it that is changing the way I look at it, will explain later. Pros- it captures amazingly close if not exactly the same to the source. Downs- I have to pair it with amplitude 5 to build my tones and after 15 years messing around with guitar plug-ins I must confess that I hate them all. - I use Gibsons 50's wiring style on all my guitars including the non Gibson ones, and the tone x software can't respond to the volume/tone knobs roll off as a real amp or the kemper does. - The noise gate of the Tone X and of the amplitude 5 is just terrible. What I found messing around with the Tone X and the Kemper is that the Kemper can capture the tone X with the same results the tone X has while capturing real amps. So what I am doing is capturing the amazing tonex captures with my kemper stage. This way I get an much more accurate capture of an amp inside my kemper with amazing dynamic, playability, noise gate and effects that the kemper offers.

They probably won’t touch it because it’s a surface mount construction and they’re very likely to brick /wreck it if they touch it.

@@WarrenPostma Well right now it is a very expensive paper weight without the ability to repair it. I thank you for the context your comment provides, but it sadly changes nothing about the useless state of my headrush.

The original Headrush Pedalboard that came out in 2017 was a quad core processor that could run multiple instances of high DSP effects such as reverb. The little MX5 can run all Pedalboard rigs without modification so it too has high DSP headroom. The new Prime takes that up a notch. DSP power has always been a strength Headrush has over Line 6

Actually both guitar and vocals can each have their own have independent stereo outputs (no need for either to be in mono)

@@forthecreator1 Groovy, thanks. I ordered one so just waiting on it...

I currently still use the original Headrush pedalboard (a seasoned veteran if you will), and in the demos I've seen on the prime, the issue is the way they are going about switching. They were switching between entire "Rig's" mid song. I think it's just a bit of a lack of understanding about what can be done and the best way to do it. (like, would most people unplug their guitar from a rig on stage and then plug into an entirely different rig mid song?) The better way if you want tighter switching is to use scenes inside of the rig. I use 1 Rig per song, and then I have scenes set up to move through all the parts of the song. So something like Pull Me Under, I load the rig up at the start of the song (From all the songs I have arranged into a setlist for that night) and it starts off already with the Roland JC120 lots of chorus and reverb etc (acoustic modeler to give it a bit piezo feel), and then as soon as I press the assigned scene button it loads into the first scene change, which swaps out the JC120 for a Mesa Boogie MarkIIC+, with appropriate IR's, tighter delay and reverb, compressor at the start and end of the chain etc. Then I press the button again and it goes into a lead tone with more depth for the solo. And these switches happen as I press the button down, and virtually instantly (if you change between rigs, it actions on the release of the switch as well as has a bit of delay while it loads and unloads all the hardware that is assigned to the rig). \m/

@@Bubblegoose Thanks. That's helpful for sure. So in your rig, you just have the 2 amps and then use scenes to switch between them? So you're limited to what can be loaded in a single preset? Just trying to make sure I understand. Thanks for the info!

@@misterringer No worries at all. In the rig I mentioned, I have an amp in a single slot, and with the scene I am changing that amp block's preset, not turning off an amp in one slot and turning another amp on in another slot. So with a scene, you can turn on or off a block, or change the preset. So this applies to other fx as well. With the intro the chorus is a lot wetter and more luscious, and the same with the delay. However when I go to the main sound, I still want chorus and delay, so with the scene, I am turning off the acoustic sim block, turning on a second compressor, turning off an EQ block, and I am changing the preset of the Amp block, the IR block( this doesn't just change IR's it also alters the Hi and Lo cut and the output volume), the delay block and the chorus block. I could for sure make a rig that is so complicated that switching via scenes is not possible, however In the real world I haven't run into any issues. And the prime looks like it has even more slots than the pedalboard I have. So it shouldn't be an issue at all.

@@Bubblegoose Thanks for that explanation!

Mic noise gate.

Thank god I wasn't the only one hearing. It's distracting as fuck. I think his mic or interface might be messed up or he's got some bitrate issues or something.

It has L+R balanced 1/4” outputs AND L+R XLR outputs. Guitar can be sent in stereo out one set of outputs while vocals are sent in stereo out the other set of outputs. So it exceeds what you are asking for

Quartex has 0 updates

@@0megalul309 ? It’s had many updates. Added looper, harmonizer, amps, captures, presets, effects, hybrid mode, fixes, interface improvements and more to come.

You mean reamping with the clone feature? Because the normal reamp is just set the reamp mode in the unit and connecting your tracks in your DAW. I say this from a MX5 POV but I guess it's the same.

It works the same as capturing any amp

@@AndGuitar I have never cloned/ captured an amp sound but excited to try

Lack of multiple captures, multiple amps per preset etc., I think those are areas that are limiting for some but love the tech!

@@AndGuitar but don't get me wrong, it's an awesome unit and I'm willing to wait for the updates. Sometimes I just get tired of hearing about something new that's coming out every two weeks. Haha

yea people can upload their rigs to the cloud and people can download them.
