I'm baffled that HEADRUSH doesn't have a decent vocal demo of PRIME. 😯If this thing is marketed towards singer/guitarists, they have done a TERRIBLE job at marketing their own product. I can't find a single video out there showing it's capabilities. From what I've read, this is the ONLY guitar floor pedal to offer high end vocal processing - AND guitar processing in a single pedal. I believe the product offers what I need as a singer/guitarist - but it's shocking that even HeadRush "the company" doesn't even care to show what can be accomplished with it. I'm seriously shaking my head in disbelief!! Most guitarists don't care about Auto Tune, but if I can change vocal fx patches for individual songs in my set list, just as easily as I can with guitar patches - then THAT would be useful. I really don't want to spend $1000 plus on a product that I haven't been able to properly demo. Come on HeadRush!! It's not too late to make this right.
Y'all need to answer some of the questions posted in these comments. I purchased the Core, FOR the vocal effects to combine with guitar. This video shows WHAT autotune can do, but doesn't really show HOW to do it. Mainly....do I need to set the key for each song, or does Autotune track the guitar pitch for correction. If it doesn't, then why not? If the guitar signal IS being used, then....being limited to just one line for vocals, and one line for guitar, with separate inputs for each, how do we know that the vocal line is actually getting the guitar signal to assist in pitch correction. Can headrush release a manual JUST for autotune, since there are so many variables and adjustments that can be made to it? Should Antares release such a manual? I mean, seriously, this is a huge feature of the Prime/Core (you even plastered it right on the face of the device) I'd think that you'd want to feature it...completely, in demos, manuals, etc. On the Voicelive, I can "hear" the correction happening. I "hear" the original note in my head, and the corrected note in my in-ears. With the Headrush, I'm not getting that weird sensation when I sing while playing....and I can guarantee that I'm not singing perfectly on pitch for each note.
@@Max10_B Damn I was looking for this too!!! That's so important to have for electronic music like Bass House etc.. please @HeadRush FX put an option to control Antares formant shifting via midi!!!! This will open the market for vocalist performing live over while DJing in clubs! ... Desperately waiting for this formant stuff for ages!! You're THIS close guys!!!
When will headrush address the vocal effects in the Prime/Core. Some of us purchased these devices specifically for the ability to run guitar AND vocals through it. First, you limit us to 7 effects blocks for guitar. The majority of the vocal effects are either unusable, or we need to be taught HOW they work...HOW DO WE DIAL IN HARMONIES??? Why do I not hear the artificial autotune atrifacts in my in-ear monitors, but I sound like a robot when playing back recordings? Many of your devices are being returned because people are finding out that it can't do what we expected it to do...Come on, Headrush...stop ignoring us!
Can you set a global vocal string so that you don’t have to add all the same pedals on every rig? Would be nice to just plug in to sing and adjust the guitar to suit the song if you just want your vocals to be relatively the same throughout the performance.
Hello, Could you make a video explaining how I use a microphone and a guitar at the same time and the output signal of each one of them can be regulated independently on a mixing board? Thanks
Been researching this pedal for several months-Trying to get questions answered across several videos-Impossible!! No one has answered. The the Manual (s) are VERY BASIC!! Think I will create a channel, create videos, beg for subscriptions, promise my buyer's the world-And then totally ignore ANY questions!!
@@DrSimonBignell Purchased a Quad Cortex. Very happy. Will the learning curve be steep? Well yes! But at least I got my questions answered before purchase! Went thru countless vids and forums with FukRush. Only thing I really learned about the FukRush device is that the technology they are using is over 10 years old.
Ok I mean.. great it does autotune but you think maybe someone would spend 10 minutes walking through the vocal chain options? Sheesh. Autotune is the LEAST important thing I want on my vocal chain. Show me the damn compression, de-esser, EQ, delay, doubling, even harmony. Ridiculous how I can't find a real demo of this damn thing yet. Come on people.
Headrush Prime Video # 232-Love this feature-but as someone already commented "Y'all need to answer some of the questions posted in the comments"! The channel's name is "HeadRush FX" in case you forgot....or do I post Quad Cortex questions?
Not gonna lie i was searching for DECADES for such a Pedal system with antare autotune. i like to be authentic on stage but still wanna give my ears and those from the ordiens a good overall sounding experience in terms of Voice performence. Robotik is usless in my eyes but to find the exact right pitch is Perfect. Thanks man i will definetly get this one thats all what i searched for XD
I’m coming from the TC Helicon VoiceLive 3 where the harmonies tracked and responded based on the incoming guitar chord - can I do that with this? I’d rather just play and sing than have to constantly set the key of the song/harmonies I want every time.
Many years ago Antares used to do an auto tune for guitar which could tune all the strings, do crazy alternate tunings and virtual guitar. Sadly they discontinued it. Any chance of them coming back with Headrush to offer those features with a 13 pin input to make the absolute end all guitar processing unit? 😍
I've waited for a long time a device that could do both guitar and singing! Is there a no key option in this device? I mean I just want a very light pitch corrector if I'm slightly out of tune, don't want to sing scales
This is awesome! It would be great if you guys release a vocal processor in the future for the singer that doesnt play an instrument in the band! Keep up the great work Head Rush.
The vocals-specific units I've tried never seemed to sound that great. If HeadRush could make one that did it would be great, especially since the sound techs at shows I've played were so bad with vocals effects.
@@HeadRushFX I think another cool thing that could be added to an update is the ability to save different presets for global eq so that you could save different eq settings for different venues and quickly change between them. Also, a sort of copy and paste of rig names would be helpful since I typically duplicate rigs with the same name but with a slight change and just give the new patch a new version number at the end of the name. However this leaves me retyping the name. Even just having a duplicate rig button would be nice. Also, I hope you guys continue creating updates for the MX5 and the pedalboard. I have both and love them 😎🤘🏼
@@kevinmoore153try a helicon; either Harmony GXT, Singer 2, or VoiceLive 3. I guess their Play Acoustic pedal is good too but I have no experience with that
I downloaded the the owner user manual and quick guide user, it is almost empty, not even 30% of features are detailed in the manual, it looks like the product is on the market without being totally finished. Also I don't see any software to edit and save your profiles using the computer or the mobile, that's not acceptable, just the fact of only being able to edit presets in the unit is a no go for me.
Does it do harmonies that recognize the guitar and keeps you singing in key with song your playing like tc helicon does? If so how about a demo of that? If it does that good, that would be the factor that would determine if I was going to buy the pedal. Thank you!
@HeadRushFX 9 months ago For Auto-Tune, the key and scale need to be set manually (or via MIDI). The built-in Vocal Harmony Effect can automatically detect your incoming guitar chords or MIDI signal.
Each and every song needs to be set in the menus as you go. So, there is no practical use for autotune on this for the gigging live musician as you can't keep doing this on stage. That's why there are no demos of this being used. 😮
Great demo! please more vocal demos using antares AT in particular getting that full choirs sound. Anderton's did a vid where they use it but didn't show how it was built. Again great work AJ !!

A mini headrush prime wound be great, for true mobility. The prime may good on stage where electricity is provided, but what about us street folks. A DC powered smaller form factor headrush prime would be able to be powered by battery banks. Perhaps a stand alone anteres pedal would also be cool. This is a great unit and a bargain but it’s way too big, folks might as well use mini macs with interfaces and plug ins with touchscreens that they can edit away from the floor. A Bluetooth editor for devices would be great, Im tired of bending over to dabble with presets. I like the direction this headed but it still doesn’t solve any real world problems for live performers.
Well done! It's still going to take me awhile to fully understand this as well as you, I hope, it looks pretty complicated and I'm no spring chicken. New subscriber here, I'll just refer back to your video when I get confused, for me that's easy to do. Thank you for the excellent informative video. Peace.
There's an XLR in for the mic. Where's the mic out that would go to the mixer? I would NOT want the vocal signal blended in with the guitar out because they need to be independently controllable by the sound guy at the mixer, so there needs to be a guitar out (I guess two, if stereo) and a mic out, but I only see two XLR outs and they both appear to be for the guitar. Help!
There are XLR outs and 1/4" outs. You can assign outputs from within the unit. You can also assign an output to carry a dry mic signal with no processing.
That was what he showed at 1:20 - instead of Straight path, you'd choose Dual Straight Path, then the vocal and the guitar can be separate (Dual, e.g. parallel). There is an 1/4" Amp Out for the guitar (by the guitar input) and XLR out for the mic.
Purchased a Quad Cortex. Forums are user friendly. The technology used in QC is 10 years ahead of FukRush, plus the community answers questions when you post a question or issue. Good luck to all in your search for a digital modeler!
Man this thing seems like a real game changer but what I wanna know is how good is the latency at 24 bit 9khz ?? I think I read everything is dsp based. I was originally of throwing in the towel and getting a UAD interface but now that I see this I feel like why bother with UAD and have to buy all them plugins which will cost more then this sweet device if it can do double duty and be used in studio and on stage that is a game changing deal winner. Also any system requirements to use it on computer? Can it run on Mojave Mac ? I am interested
Ok, but who had the idea of demonstrating vocal effects, without singing a song? He's a genius, congratulations!!!!
It doesn't automatically track the autotune, so it is severely limited. Almost no vocal demos available. That tells you something.

Auto tune live is a nightmare, because all the spill will be in tune, and be pushed out of tune as the vocal is corrected.
Putting a gate at the beginning of the signal chain will fix this
I've mixed many live albums and have tuned/ replaced vocals drums and guitars, in surround sometimes. If only I'd known....
Really doesn’t make much of a difference
