I am not familiar with the MX5 pedal but if it can receive midi signals over Bluetooth then this app will work. If you use it to turn off and on different blocks, that will work on any rig. It all depends on how you program each pad in the app. In the video, I had programmed several pads to control different blocks within rigs. This configuration would work with any rig. But you can customize it as much as you want for each individual rig, or four blocks within the rig. From my experience, this app is the simplest midi control method has compared to more complicated ones like the midi captain or other programmable midi foot switches. I hope This helps!

@@Mattguitarmania thx for the quick response! The only bug (I think) is that the MX5 (like de Flex Prlme) is that the MIDI connector use an adaptor... from 1/8 to 5pin. It may work but won't charge the xvive. Or maybe with a cheaper clone like mWave (the unit doesN,t charge the battery you do it via usb charging...) thx

@steevedaigle8606 I hope it works for you!

Thank you very much! I do love everything about guitar. I started playing guitar in 1980 at the age of 14 because I really had no other hobbies or interests. Playing guitar and making music really grabbed my heart so I fell in love with it almost immediately. I’m grateful that God has gifted me with music in my soul. So I’m glad to share my passion with others. Thank you so much for your encouragement!

I have about 8 or 9 electrics and 1 acoustic/electric

Thanks dude I appreciate the recommendation!

No problem

Thanks for your encouragement and kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the video

These are very simple guitars and relatively easy to work on so I think you can make it happen!

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for your question and thanks for watching! Unfortunately I didn’t end up making part two before selling the guitar. Sorry about that!

@Mattguitarmania Ahh ok. Lol 👍🏻

I like the sound, maybe I miscommunicated. The clean is good but the overdrive sounds bad. Thanks for watching!

Possibly! Thanks for the idea

Hey thanks for watching and for your kind words! There are so many great, affordable guitars on the market these days. I don't personally buy big name brands as my first choice because I've found so many affordable models that play just as well, or sometimes better, than the big name brands. With this in mind, it sounds like you'd probably want a guitar with humbuckers instead of single coils. Humbuckers tend to growl more with overdrive and distortion, and lots of artists use them for grunge and blues. A Les Paul is the most popular type of guitar with humbuckers in it but there are lots of others. If you have a limited budget, check out some of the Chinese models of Gretsch guitars, like the Electromatic models. I have a blue one and I love it. The pickups are sort of humbuckers but they also sound really great clean. One of my favorite guitars is my D'Angelico Premier, which is shaped like a Les Paul but it has two humbuckers w/ coil split switches, which gives you the option of playing through humbuckers or single coils for cleaner sounds that sound great with just a little overdrive. Last thought, Ibanez makes excellent guitars in all price ranges. My cheapest guitar is a basic model Ibanez that I modified with a killer pre-wired pickguard. This baby plays like butter and yet it only cost me $66 used, including tax and shipping from Goodwill. Here's a video about this guitar: ua-cam.com/video/O3Dhvt1uqNc/v-deo.html Ibanez also makes copies (sometimes better than the originals) of just about every guitar type and shape out there. Keep them in mind! I hope this helps! Thanks again for watching and commenting! Matt

Oh man, I almost forgot about my two Yamaha Revstar guitars. These bad boys are awesome! Check out this video for more info: ua-cam.com/video/ij7OXIpkzfE/v-deo.html

Thanks I’ll check those out

Hi! Thanks for watching! I have not been able to determine the exact model because the serial number was removed by a previous owner. But I do know it is one of the most affordable models, perhaps like the GRX-40. it may be a discontinued model, I’m not sure.

I’m simply a highly successful genius that is humbly also willing to share his million dollar scam, I mean scheme, for free

Haha! I hope you find one man. Thanks so much for watching and commenting

Yeah!!

That would have been a good option but the new pickguard did not fit the shape of the guitar so it would have looked very wonky. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I'm building a ST style part caster with that same pickguard set up, luckily it fits my body ok. Hope it looks and sounds as good as yours. All the best from the UK. 👍✌🇬🇧

Thanks very much! Have fun with it🤘

And thanks for chiming in from across the pond!!!!

Yes I agree, it was a very cool experience and it blew my mind to see so many beautiful instruments all in one place!

Thanks dude! I really have a lot to learn when it comes to using vinyl and I’m not sure I really have the patience😜

@@Mattguitarmania Yup but worth it, don't have to deal with the hassle of painting, waiting for it to dry, multiple layers, etc

Yep!

Sweet! Dings don’t hurt sound!

Hey man I’m really sorry to hear that it didn’t work for you. I am not a specialist on midi and have really just started to understand it over the past few months. But there is a really great group on Facebook where you can ask questions that may help you. Look for the group called “ The Ultimate Headrush FX Community “ I don’t recall anybody in the group ever having a problem with their core or prime units not handling or receiving midi signals. Perhaps your midi controller may have something to do with it. I really wish I knew more but I’m not an expert. I hope you get the problem figured out

I agree but they’re still fun!

@Mattguitarmania yes they are haha

Sweet! I hope it works. Have fun!

Well I finally got round to trying my Flex prime. And it’s fantastic. And one really great thing the melo audio midi commander I’ve used for a few years now with a headrush gig board and mx5. Literally worked straight away when I plugged it in. So I have it set for CC commands and so I can turn on or off up to 8 blocks in each rig and we’ll as having the built in footswitches built in to the device. Which really expands the controls. But. Set it all up with an audio interface and a pod pro. And sounds fantastic. Cheers

One thing of importance anyone who wants to use a midi controller with a headrush device needs to get the A Type connector. A while back I bought a B type by mistake and couldn’t get it to work. It says A type in the manual. Ok.

That sounds sweet!! Way to go😃

Hey thanks for your question! I am not an expert on midi but there are lots of UA-cam videos explaining how to program the midi captain. There is a way that it might work to control two different things by using midi in and midi out on one of the pedals. I honestly don’t know if it can do that but it might work, since it’s a very advanced control controller. Another way it might work is by using two different outputs on the back of the controller. The midi captain has USB out and regular midi in and out jacks on the back I hope it works for you!

Thank you! I don’t know much about the MX five but if you check the user manual it should explain what MIDI controls you can use with it. I hope this video helps

Thank you!

@Mattguitarmania you are most welcome 🤗

Wow! Thank you very much! I appreciate your kind words and encouragement. Enjoy your guitar!

Sweet! I’m sure you’ll love it

Hello and thank you for watching and commenting! It’s so cool that you are on the other side of the Earth and yet we can connect through UA-cam. I hope you enjoy the amp and Guitar!

​@Mattguitarmania . Yes thanks. The amp circuit board is a lot more set into the cabinet interior, rather snug.so I wasn't going to Jam a crowbar into it. Plugging my guitar in ,the thing just crackled and cried..So I got a can of contact cleaner into all the pots and the guitar pots too. Alot quieter. But the Drive setting is a wailer😅. Ok on clean . It'll do for a while while I get my hands working on guitar work. Cheers

That’s good to hear! Thanks so much for watching and interacting with my video

Thanks for your opinions. I really like the blue and the hot Merlot

My personal opinion is that these are a phenomenal deal and I have used this Guitar many times on stage at church and in a local club. The pick ups can be microphonic but turning them down a little bit helps. The difficult part is if you need to transfer the electronics to a pickguard that matches your guitar, like I had to do. If you are able to directly install this pickguard on your guitar, I think there are only two or three wires to solder together. It’s assembled and ready to go besides two ground wires and one white wire. I hope this helps!

Here is a link to my full demo of this pickguard on my “Monster Strat” Why my cheapest guitar 🎸 is my favorite! 😃 #cheapguitars #gibson #fender #ibanez ua-cam.com/video/O3Dhvt1uqNc/v-deo.html

@@Mattguitarmania Hello Matt. I forgot to mention that I gave in and bought it, I think it'll arrive in 2 days. But I wanna know something, do these coil splits cancel hum in positions 2 and 4? Is it possible to have it with this config? Thank you and have a great day.

@longstandingsolitude I really don’t know if they cancel hum. But I don’t have any problems with them in single or humbucker mode. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing that insight. I’ve only owned this one and another one a few years ago and both seemed fine, but I guess you never know if you’ll get a bad one.

@@Mattguitarmania Thanks...ALSO, unfortunately fender never fixed these so if you had an issue while under warranty the techs were told to throw them out and customers were sent new ones so careful with duds as well when buying used... It be cool if you got the front man 20g and see if it has any improvements besides being digital

@g.sferrazza10-13 thanks for the info! I have owned two used ones and never had a problem so I guess I got lucky. Thanks again for watching and commenting

@@Mattguitarmania start a collection, find a Mexican black version maybe the 15B, which has no gain unfortunately, but I read somewhere the 15B is based on the bassman circuit but modifed to solid state.

@g.sferrazza10-13 I didn’t know that, thanks for the info

Thank you!

Hahaha I won’t! Thanks!

I don’t know, this is how it came from the factory. But either way, I’m learning to like it more, having learned from several viewers how to best utilize it

Thanks pal!!😃

Sweet!! That sounds like a great setup

Thank you! I agree😄 I think you’d like this video Why my cheapest guitar 🎸 is my favorite! 😃 #cheapguitars #gibson #fender #ibanez ua-cam.com/video/O3Dhvt1uqNc/v-deo.html

Great point! I do keep an eye on their prices, but the shipping costs always bum me out so I haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Is there a particular model you think is an exceptional deal?

@@Mattguitarmania In general HB's over $250 are the better buys and the better choice. I have several. The Sc550e II deluxe, now that's a total winner.

Sweet! Thanks again! I appreciate you watching and commenting

btw, how did you control guitar feedback. sir?

This guitar doesn’t really produce feedback too often, unless I stand right in front of the speaker. Thanks for watching!

@anatmanspitama Thank you!

?

I agree! I’ve learned to appreciate it more since making this video a few months ago. I posted a video about my change of mind on the channel Thanks for your input!

@@Mattguitarmania anytime If for nothing else I feel the revstar is one of the only guitars not trying to copy someone else like fender or Gibson. Yamaha has it own shape and tone. I really think at some point they will be a “classic” guitar.

Great point!
