In short - Yes! You can even save a block if you want if I remember correctly by having one scene use one amp and then when you switch scenes you can switch that block to an entirely different amp.

that sounds awful! You've tried turning it off and then on again I'm sure. I suppose another thing you could try is plugging it into a PC via USB and try to force a firmware update again.

I got it to work! 1. Powered on the MX5 which automatically went into Firmware update mode 2. Unplugged the USB cable from the back of my mac and simply plugged it into another USB port and boom! It detected the MX5 and the updater went through to 100% and done 👍🏻 However I lost all my patches, set lists etc. Maybe because I had tried factory resets earlier?

​@joshmarkraj so glad you figured it out and thanks for sharing!

@seandogg41 it's a great question and I think you know what the answer is. Of course these modelers have got to the point where it is really hard to tell the difference, but the feel is not there. It is arguably close, but you just can't roll the volume back and play lightly and get the same sounds from the modeler that you would get with the real thing.

I sold mine shortly after posting my MX5 videos. I eventually landed on the Ampero II Stomp and I'm loving it. It's funny you mentioned hum and then said you switched to a Boss product. After I sold the MX5 I bought a Boss GT1000CORE. That Boss pedal was the worst piece of gear I ever owned. One of the reasons was it had introduced hum into everything and even with both Noise Suppresors on. I hope you're enjoying your Boss pedal though. Not sure if I got a lemon but I'll never buy a multi-effects Boss product again.

@priorwitness my GT-1B works flawlessly I have had it about 2 years and never had a problem.

@JD-kj4mj lol I appreciate it. Well I am in the middle of moving so hopefully I can figure out a way to work in your suggestion anyway 😀

@priorwitness Your cover was awesome! Sadly these days, stupid stuff like the background makes a difference. Hope your move goes well. Cheers

@@jeffoberleguitar you don't HAVE to :) But it's an idea for someone who wants to get something unique by treating an amp like a pedal. I released this video before Headrush released their firmware update to include the Blues Breaker Pedal as well.

@priorwitness ah ...i see lol ...well i was just asking. i just got an mx5 a month or so ago and im kind of new to the modeling units world and all the controls and secrets and how the effects are and all that.... i've always had just regular old amps lol...

Modelers and even profilers have come such a long way. It is so hard to justify buying the real thing these days. I get why they still exist and why they still sell to an extent, but for most of us ... just go modeling :)

@@sbrave2 in short - yes. Connect it to your computer as if it were an external hard drive and copy everything to your hard drive of your choice.

I agree! It is difficult to hear the difference, and that's the point of the video. It's been a while but i don't remember doing anything fancy with the global settings. There were really just two points I was trying to make with the video. 1) Sound wise it is darn close. One big pro to all of the Headrush units are how well they sound; even for a "budget" unit. 2) The IRs and/or cabs you use are really biggest difference you'll see. If you use quality IRs or run this thing thru some good cabinet speakers you should be happy with the end result.

@@priorwitness I grabbed the Joey Sturgis IRS and they’re amazing. I’m in a studio right now recording a track. I wrote 25 years ago and they love it but it’s not quite the same as my Mesa Mark Four. I have the Mesa Road King also but my mark four is my go to.

Yeah ... kind of. You'll need to use a connection that goes from your 1/4" output to XLR. There are cables and adapters you can buy that will do that. Sometimes, if you're lucky, the front of house guys will have an adapter for you to use.

@@JAFOpty saved per board/preset. you can move it wherever you want. you can also assign the FX Loop to a button/switch if you want

@@priorwitness amazing! thanks for info!!! 🤓

@cowboybob1977 seems a bit harsh. but I never even took it out on a real live performance. I had enough consistency issues during practice that I sold mine. it's a great unit I think for beginners and those who want to keep it in the studio. but out on the road? your results may vary

oh I wish I could remember. Haven't owned it now for a while, but I want to say I had everything just coming out the Left Mono jack. For me everything runs into my amp. So mono is good for me. Then when I run to my DAW, it's still mono because I like having mono tracks to manipulate so i have the flexibility to convert to stereo if I need to in there. I just use plugins for stereo effects that I can twiddle with that benefits the mix rather than dealing with what came in via stereo already.

yes that is possible

@@priorwitness trying to figure out but not sure which cc to use for scenes

@andreirapadas9657 ah. you have to assign a Scene to a footswitch. so if one scene is assigned to footswitch one, for example, then the MIDI command would be 50.

@@priorwitness I tried that but it's responding to rig/stomp mode and not the assigned scene

@@andreirapadas9657 well shoot, brother I don't know what to tell ya at this point. I'm sorry! I could have sworn it was possible. Many moons ago I had an HX Effects connected to an MX5 and I would control the MX5 via MIDI with the HX Effects. I think I was able to switch Scenes with it if I remember. I don't know I could be wrong too.

@willowil1 Thanks for the kind words! Every time you activate a scene with a new effect or amp, it shouldn't change the other scenes; the changed distortion in your case should be confined to that scene. that is odd if I understand your question. I wish I could be of more help.

I think that's the way to go honestly :). I was never a fan of the switches on the MX5 itself. But if you control it via MIDI and keep it off to the side it can be a very powerful tool in your rig.

yep. it's a complete factory reset.

It's been a while :) but that sounds right

Hey man you just use it before the input of the mx5. I have a gigboard basically have it first in your signal like the wah pedal. Just follow the rest of his directions.

@@adamalper804 yes it is possible to control individual pedals via MIDI as well as switch boards

@@priorwitness Awesome, thank you! Must've been old videos that I saw or review that I read...I had the impression that midi could only change boards, not pedals on/off or their settings.

I don't know but this link might help: ua-cam.com/video/lquWShvLaYg/v-deo.html&pp=ygUOaGVhZHJ1c2ggcmVzZXQ%3D

@@priorwitness thanks for that!!! 👍
