You're a very talented multi instrumentalist and great at articulating your experience and love of the Headrush Looperboard! Thanks for a great video. 🙂
Jon!! Thanks man, this is killer info. GLAD I found you, your music, and your insight on the headrush. Hope I can catch your live set one day soon - following 👍👍
Just came across your video and you have convinced me to go with it. I do like that you showed you can fade loops. The fact that it has mic inputs is a plus since I don’t play guitar and I want to record other instruments such as percussion.
Man, I love that! So glad I could help. This has easily become one of my favorite pieces of gear. The looping capabilities are awesome and it’s sturdy as all get-out! If you have an SM57 or other shotgun style mic, I feel that’d be killer for looping an acoustic instrument!
Nice review. Can you have different fx on your vocal and guitar simultaneously? Also, can you record separate sections (Vs, Ch) and trigger them or are you stuck with one main loop?
Yes! As an example, you can assign fx to channel one for vocals (such as reverb) and then channel two could be set for electric (delay and light overdrive). You can also save this as a preset that you can assign for channels 1-4 if you want to change where you plug into.
hey nice tune! Le's say you want to ad a new music part without erasing the recorded parts, what would you do? navigate to another 4 empty tracks? and then return to the first ones if you want, seamlessly? Thank you!
Can't thank you enough for this- I've been on the fence about purchasing one; your very talented and I've made up my mind to get one. Just wish it was smaller; plan on using in conjunction with pedals so I'm going to have quite a setup😊 thanks again!
Yes! I gotta say, it’s still an integral part of my rig. Every gig (unless it’s full band). I feel your pain, though, I also have a mini-pedalboard that I play my electric through, but once you have the setup dialed in, it feels great!
So I’ve been looking into getting into multi track looping so I clicked on the UA-cam and searched the Headrush and lo and behold a familiar face! Just have to say you make this thing sound good man! I think you’ve sold me on it! I still have to get out to one of your gigs so I can meet you person! Take care man and thanks for an awesome review!
Ha! Small world! That’s incredible, man. I’m glad you dug it, and I’m glad the algorithm steered you in my direction! Agreed, I’ve been trying to make it out to one of your gigs, too! Us locals are meant to stick together 👊🏾
@@JonTorrence definitely brother! I’m sure we’ll run into each other eventually lol. I met Noah for the first time a couple weeks ago, total class act great dude! He assured me you were an even better soul.
I just saw they discontinued this unit. Have you encountered any issues while utilizing the headrush unit. I’m on the fence and keep going back and forth between RC-600 and this
The RC-600 looks sweet! For what I do, I'll most likely move towards the Headrush Prime because of the interface and the modeling. What I mainly utilize in the Looperboard is all featured in the Prime (which is. why they most likely discontinued it... the Prime's looper is less robust, but the added vocal features and amp cloning as well as the updated interface will make up for it) Downsize my rig a bit in the future!
Thanks for showing us how you use it. I'm a solo acoustic musician and I have Looperboard too, and love it, although, I use it a little bit differently--I record my loop tracks ahead of time (mostly hand percussion, once in a while some bass, rhythm guitar and vox on it) because I don't dare to loop live yet. Anyway, looking at your screen I noticed it looks different from mine. Have you updated the firmware on it? It has a bit of a different layout now. From what I've read, they say the new version of firmware makes the Looperboard even better. Like I said, I love mine,so much so, that I just picked up a second one because they are on sale for $499.00! :>) Cheers!
Awesome! Yes, I didn’t have the updated firmware when I shot this, but I’m all good now! The live looping is fun just because it keeps me on my toes! I’ll usually do different kinds of buildouts every time! I am SUPER tempted to grab an auxiliary one just to keep as a backup!
Jon, I'm a singer/songwriter. I've been performing live looping sessions for over 5 years now. Last year, I added the Headrush Looperboard to the Headrush 112 (PA) and Headrush 108 (monitor) setup I've used for years. I have loved all the tutorials and samples found on youtube, BUT, after updating the software to the latest version, I have NO IDEA how to use this board anymore. I have enjoyed seeing your enthusiasm for the board. Can U help me?
I've had this pedal for about a week now. My only concern is... are there only about 4 effects for electric guitar? I see Wah, chorus, flanger, and phaser. This seems severely lacking. Where are the noise gate, compressor, octave, etc?
Perhaps I'm thinking about this wrong, but you can access more effects through a presets tab. The octave effect (whammy) is something that I have used and I know there is overdrive, but I usually run my effects through a mini gig pedalboard because it has specific sounds that I'm looking for!
Always awesome jamz JON! I did exactly what you were thinking....bout a back up HRLB. By FAR my favorite rig for non stop gigging and creativity at the same time. Sub'd. CHEERS
Question: right now I’m using a ditto looper then a reverb/delay pedal to solo over my dry acoustic sound then I add the reverb/delay when soloing. Can you do that with the headrush like step on a button and add more reverb to the channel that won’t affect the looped sound.
I know that people do use auxiliary/expression pedals with this, but that's not something I do. You can add in fx after the loop is created with a few clicks (I've done this live multiple times, but I do have to manually manipulate). But what I mainly do is I play acoustic through one channel while I make the loop, then switch to my electric (personal preference for soloing) and I have my HX Stomp for my electric fx which has everything I'd need. For feel (for myself) and visual (for the audience) that has proven really beneficial for my setup!
@@JonTorrence awesome thank you. That’s good to know. I use a Taylor t5 and loop the acoustic and then like to use the hx stomp to solo over it with the electric tones. Thank you
I'm wondering if you've had issues using the global midi sync, also how do you operate around the adaptive quantization, getting the bpm to stay still is nigh impossible.
Unfortunately for what I do, I haven't really messed around with those elements! I'm going through fixed with beatboxing, adding vocals and harmonies, auxiliary instruments, etc. That'd be my main bag!
Man i already own the HRPB but also want to get the Looperboard for Solo/Duo stuff…that 1st vid you made was the best practical/real-world example….sold me from 80% to 100%…and with this vid I’m at 120%!!! It’s just about getting the $$$ now haha! Thanks for the inspiration🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽Aloha👏🏽😎🏝
Does anyone know how reliable this device is? I've heard it had some original glitching issues, but that those were fixed with the firmware update. All comments are appreciated. And nice demo BTW. Talented multi-instrumentalist.
Hi John! I’m glad you asked this. I am in NO WAY sponsored or supported by Headrush. I have been using this tool for almost 2 years with no glitches and I’ve had great responses and reliability with the product. There is a lot of malleability with the Looperboard’s settings, and having this has convinced me to stay with the company when I need to get a new product. I hope this helps some!
First of all, great video. I’m looking to do something similar to what your doing with different instruments including brass (never mind the user name) and just ordered one for myself based on your video
You know, I started off with a single button looper (Ditto Looper) and when my imagination of what I wanted to hear grew, I upgraded to the Digitech JamMan Stereo. The next upgrade was this, and I’ll never go back!
So, have improvements occured since initial release. From the reviews I've seen, it seems to have a lot of bugs. The reviews on guitar center and gearpage though are years old. Not sure how many updates have occured and if it's helped.
I've used this for quite some time now with no bugs, but I've also seen that they've incorporated the looping suite into their Headrush Prime. It's pricier, but I could see myself going down that road someday since I've been so happy with the Looperboard.
Thanks for the video! I've been using mine for more than a year and it's just a fantastic tool for a live looper. But the new firmware is way better ;)
A very positive attitude and energy !
Thank you so much !!
Bravo, excellent demo...Horn tone was sublime
Thanks! I do love playing the horn 🎺!
Your loops … smooth like Miles!🔥
I grew up on Miles! I don't take that comment lightly, thank you!
5:43 sums it up. That’s the question answered. Awesome video
I appreciate that!
You're a very talented multi instrumentalist and great at articulating your experience and love of the Headrush Looperboard! Thanks for a great video. 🙂

Hello, the video it's so good... a question: the looperboard has the latest firmware update 2.0.5 and does this really bring any improvement?
Really fun to see how the board works. Loved that song 👍

I'll try it out for you today!

@@johnford4609 Happy creating! Break through the learning curve, you'll have a TON of fun!
Great video - thanks for the info!
My pleasure! I’m glad you dug it!
Really nice man!
Thank you!
Is this unit and the headrush pedalboard similar or no ?
First of all, great video. I’m looking to do something similar to what your doing with different instruments including brass (never mind the user name) and just ordered one for myself based on your video
So pumped to hear this! I feel like you’re gonna dig it. Sometimes I make a whole horn chorus to augment the ending to a song, it’s a lot of fun!
Thank you for this video
Sadley mine stopped working. It stopped allow anything to come through the inputs.
Looks intimidating

Lol agreed! I actually changed over, I wasn’t hip to it at the time of shooting this video!
hi bro how much is thats.?
very cool boogie stuff
Do you not want to update the firmware? It looks like you are using early versions...
Since this vid I had updated, I was just previously unaware
Great video! Do the loops sync in time automatically?
Hi Headrush Fan... I use it too and i would guess you use a very old firmware... Try the new with a lot of changes... Best wishes
Yeah, they saw the vid and told me about it 😆😆 been playing the new firmware at a lot of gigs and I love it!!
Is this part of latest firmware updates
I had done this before the latest firmware, so the interface looks different now.
Mines had a ton of issues. Buttons are cheap & stop working & now mine doesn’t have any output coming from any output jack with healthy inputs
Yikes! Sorry to hear about that. Had you tried contacting the company? They’re pretty active/responsive.
Nice Breedlove.
Thanks, man! I’ve been real happy with it!
I wish you were my neighbor
Jam sessions’d be fun, man🤘🏾
