I've been a fan of the new generation of Headrush products. And with all the features they offer, including the Amp Cloning, why aren't more people talking about them?

Do you have discord?
Yes it should be talked about more. BTW, did you upload that Satan?
Absolutely! I have a Prime and I love your cloned amps. Do a few more!
The Biggest reason headrush prime doesn't get attention is because headrush is notorious for not supporting their products with regular updates they get maybe a handful during their entire product life compared to line 6 fractal and neural dsp doing atleast a few updates a year its the same reason the Boss multi effects and modeling isn't as big too imho
This. I think if it was decently supported, they'd be killing it in the modeling game.
Hmm, hopefully that changes! I only recently started dabbling with their stuff and it seemed like they’ve rolled out a couple updates since launch, but I agree that a healthy update schedule is key. Especially when fractal is one of your main competitorsz
@@TaylorDanley I mean, if a product is always needing a update, is it really good?
Yeah from what I remember seeing when I updated my GT1000Core BOSS only gave it a few real updates since it dropped in like 2016? Of course, I didn't buy it for updates and stuff I bought it because it's so small and light that it's extremely portable and sounds great to me so good enough
I keep wondering why no company publishes any Firmware update timeline with their planned releases, that would give potential customers a good idea before investing in a new “echo system”.
This is already done with other devices like phones & tablets.
I have owned most of the different modelers that have been on the market. I currently own a HeadRush Core this is my second HeadRush product and I absolutely love it. This has been loads of fun and the cloning is great. Thank you for doing more videos on HeadRush...
I'm using the Headrush Gigboard and toured around the world on major Festival. It's the perfect size for plane luggage and for the price if it break you don't need 2-3 grands to replace it. Running it L and R, 1 front of house and 1 front of amp.
Also Headrush I think shines at blending 2 amps,that's where the Headrush shines impo.
I bought the Headrush Core already having the QC and 2 months later after owning the Headsrush I sold the QC.
May i know the reason?
@TaylorDanley Great Video! Would love to see more videos from you using this unit and giving more insight! One question. After using so many guitar multi-effect units, where do you put HR Core? I'm so confused between Core, Ampero II Stage, Helix LT, etc. Thanks in advance!
❤Excellent video timing I just purchased the headrush gigboard a week ago liked it a lot and had plans to return it and purchase the updated headrush core. In fact watching a review on the headrush Prime is the first time I found this channel😊
Yay❤ I got the core now and I'm happy with it I've read and learned from other UA-camrs that the 2017 models and the 2023/2024* models all contain the same CPU chip that was released in 2014 if so that's wild can't wait to see what they come out with next😊
I had a HR Gigboard a few years ago and it was a great experience, later I had the MX5 but returned it because of the DROP PEDAL had too much latency and it was unusable for me. Now I'm waiting for the CORE hoping that the upgraded processor is able to run the drop in a better way. Great video by the way!
Picked one up today to try. Thx for the vid!
Hope you enjoy it!
I bought the core when it came out. I honestly felt like it was pretty good and had pretty good tone however I found it severely lacking when compared the Helix floor. I do like the ability to download captures via wifi. I got a killer Purple nightmare capture as soon as I got it. That was awesome. I still like the Helix amp models better especially the nuanced tone that respond nicely to picking intensity.
For me personally, the Headrush prime (core) has been removed from potential purchase options because of non-existent PC editor. I just dont want to get an extra desk to put it on so I don't have to bend down to it when I dial the patches. And if they have app for android/IOS, well good for them. But it's still less convenient than using PC IMHO.
Also I don't need cloning since I don't use very special amps in my pathes, all I need is boost, amp model of Mark IV and/or JCM800 and my own IR and most of the modellers can do these amps.
Yes! I got the MX5 without realizing this. Even Sonicake and Valeton have desktop editors. I really love the unit, but no editor and lack of updates is a bit of a head scratcher.
Yeah that’s why I asked for a core, because I can actually fit it on my desk! The prime would have been more usable with an editor for sure.
I got the core and I'm still going to stick it on my desk anyway for me the workaround is just purchasing $100 Behringer FCB 1010 midi foot controller that way I can have 10 foot switches and 2 expression pedals still conveniently at my feet basically pretty much a prime pedal at that point 😂 hope this idea might help you possibly reconsider if you really liked it.❤
I'm sorry I just reread that you did not want an extra desk to put it on my apologies my suggestion was not very helpful.
@@steveclark9934 it's okay, your suggestion could help someone else.
I already bought Hotone Ampero II Stage. It's not perfect but it works well for me, as any unit with stereo processing, IR capability and PC editor would. And it was pretty cheap.
I was just checking this out "Core", when you posted this. Thank you!
🥳
I own an MX5. I love it and think it hangs in there with any other mid range price modelers. The prime should be even better. The slow releases (I'm a beta tester and it's slooooow) and lack of a PC editor are major cons for most people.
I use the headrush core live and in the studio! It became my main board! It sounds awesome! I've played Diezel and Hughes & Kettner amps and a Kemper and Axe fx but the headrush is the best for me!!!
I love the Headrush, got the prime first but directly switched to the core when it came out since I also didn’t like the prime form factor. It is my „Livingroom rig“ I’m a young dad so I usually can only play when everyone else in the house is sleeping 🙈
I use own IR‘s in that thing and love the practice tool feature since all I do is play along my 2000‘s metal teen times music 😂
I also own an axe fx III with a power amp and a boutique FRFR cab this i consider my main rig but the Headrush is the smaller livingroom by night compromise and I didn’t yet feel it’s lacking anything I need.
After direct comparisons I would take my Headrush core over quad cortex and fender tone master pro anytime again.
Yeah the core's form factor is preferable for me as well. Definitely would make it easier to keep in the living room!
@@TaylorDanleyit’s funny watching all of the same people commenting on the same channels and gear 😂 what’s up @taylordanley hah
I switched from a helix to the core a few months ago and I'm loving it so far ... before the helix i had a gigboard
I’ve been looking into modelers and profilers to buy, not yet decided between the Quad, Kemper and this one. I hear a lot, just like diving into gaming, should I get this console or a pc and the teams recommend on what they like best. However on this side, I would like to replicate triviums in waves/shogun sound, BFMV scream aim fire, and insomniums distortions as a base to develop a sound further. Any one can recommend which should I get base on getting that late 2000s sound? Any advices is welcome!🤘🏻
I’ve heard this uses the same amp models from the Eleven Rack, would be cool if you demoed one for old times sake (it was popular during the same time as the Axe Fx once it came out).
I love my Headrush Prime, I agree it’s very big and heavy and cumbersome in that regard. It’s capturing is considered by many to be the best and while I come from the plugin world, I’ve used it to capture presets and plugins I have it sounds extremely close if not identical and in a few instances is was off in a preferential way.
Like many will say updates are scarce but never buy anything on the promise of added functionality but on the function that it comes with, and it has unlimited potential, the best UI in the game. I have not personally encountered issues software or physically.
A physical editor would be very useful. I think their thought process was “well we have an incredibly intuitive user interface that a editor would be redundant” except that would require us to either hunch over to the floor or have a separate desk for the unit.
I would still recommend either device whole heartedly as it punches well above its weight compared to the competitors that charge 1.5x as much. I think if the HRc/p was a smash success and had a much larger development team I think we would see a lot of the requested features. They also lack having a very notable artist roster (no disrespect to those who are on the roster) to attract people in. I think UA-cam and word of mouth are the only things really keeping this device in any sort of shape in the market. Which is truly unfortunate
Hey Taylor, Question from guitarist / vocalist. With the Core, can I use the 5-Rig Mode to have my 5 rigs (1 rig per footswitch), ie, clean, clean with fx, overdrive, overdrive with fx and lead and then also seperately have my vocals run through this seperately so I can run my vocals through this unit with vocal effects while also switching through the rigs during songs? Hope that makes sense
Cheers
I've heard about their poor customer support and lack of updates but their prime/core modeler is criminally underrated.
they've been very supportive of the prime and core, just have to join the forums and reach out, but i've only had one off putting experience when emailing them, never called.
@@redkurn which modeler are you using
There should be. I always thought if the headrush pedalboard came out before the Helix things may have been a little different. Generally it's a personal choice but I've been a headrush fan since 2018. The prime is pretty good but the Tone Master Pro I also like. The touch screens are really easy to use etc.. Thanks for sharing all the best from the UK 👍👍👍👍🎶🎶🎶🎶
Own the core and the clone library is the best shit ever. Having access to clones of uberschalls, deliverances, evh stealth etc is what makes this worth the price tag, all my patches are amp clones with my own IR's and it sounds awesome. Also will note the touch screen and UI is excellent, I don't ever feel the need for a PC editor. I've also owned an axefx2 and tried hotone but didn't like the latter. Will try quad cortex eventually but want to try synergy next. For now I'm happy with the core.
Wish I knew about this. I just recently opened my Headrush pedalboard after it sitting in the box in my closet since 2017 lol. Had a neighbor help me load IR’s and have not had time to try it yet. I am old and horribly incompetent with computers. I have 2 Headrush FRFR 12’s. Still have the Helix lt in the box. I usually just play without plugging in smh because Condo Life and Wife. She’s cool about Guitar at night but I just don’t. Can I go straight into the FRFR cab and get decent sound ? I also had an Ampero 2Stomp I just opened and plugged it in and it sounds horrible. I must be doing something wrong. Should I use XLR Cords instead of GUI cables ? I have amps and cabs and boxes of pedals and attenuators. I’m a simpleton. That sounds so huge Taylor. I just struggle with Tech. I have PTSD and OCD and it’s a struggle. Any help from anyone is appreciated. I’m in the dark here.( Scent of a Woman).
I had the HR Pedalboard for about 3 years. It was good out of the gate and then really good with some York IRs. I just thought the classic rock/blues tones weren’t super great. Went back to a 1 channel tube amp with a couple pedals. Would really like the HR Core to test out on the closing capabilities though!
Bro!! You literally read my mind from this past week. I have a Helix but wanted something smaller, so I got an MX5. Holy crap, that little thing is awesome! And like you said, videos on it are SCARCE! What the actual F?
I had an mx5 for a while and was underwhelmed with the high gain stuff, but with the amp cloning it completely resolved that for me since I can just clone my own amps.
The mx5 is insanely powerful for its size and price though!
I sold mine but miss it a lot. Even having an FM3, I miss the Prime alot. It's an A-Tier modeler for sure.👍
The Digitech RP series and specifically the GSP1101 is way older than the Kemper...and still being used today! Maybe you wanna check it out.
I love my gigboard and replaced it with core when it was released!downloaded tworock and nobels clone,im sold!
I got an MX5 and setup a dual chain that sweeps from a clean twin w particle and air verb to a maxon into a cranked 5150 with the treadle pedal!
I have the Headrush Pedal Board. I am looking for metal amp sims that are compatible. So many are only compatible with a PC. Does anyone know of any?
Whoa perfect timing. I’m thinking about selling my Randall Satan!
I hate to name drop another channel on your comments section but andertons did a shoot out with this and a few other similar products like from neural an stuff and they all did an amazing job, the technology is definitely just improving all around an its amazing. I had a headrush board before like 2 years ago it was great and they always come with good bundles for like their big pa speakers to get you going. Definitely got my eye on the Prime.
No worries! You can name drop channels! It's just if you put in a link the spam bot will snag it. 🤷♂️
Definitely the way to go to record I can't afford any of the new stuff but my old rp355 still goes to tape better than any microphone or cabinet I can find
Sounds surprisingly good. No one ever seems to talk about it but maybe they should! On the other hand, I’m definitely hoping that Line 6 adds amp captures to Helix in the near future…
I agree. It would be weird if they didn't, but if who knows! Maybe they want to stay in their lane.
I was going to get an MX5 but I ended up just getting the FM3 because I miss my Axe fx 3
I personally used the original Headrush Pedalboard for a while, mainly because it was only €900 compared to the other modelers at well over €1k. It works very well, but the device list is very short, and they never really added new ones. I'm also very pissed they didn't update the pedalboard to the same UI as the prime, as it's much better. Overall I still like to use it for live gigs in dark spaces, but overall the Quad Cortex replaced it for me.
The price point is still the rough spot for me. I sort of wish it did less, like get rid of all the vocal stuff, so it could be cheaper. I'm sure that Anteres licensing isn't cheap.
i bought mine from zzounds, 12 payments and it was about $130 a month... they work with you as well, i couldn't pay twice and they just moved the date, i did end up paying it off two months early.
I had an MX5. Made some videos on it. But I've owned other modelers and honestly I feel like the Headrush unit is similar to that of a Nissan. They make a good product but there is better value to be had elsewhere. But if you're rocking one, there isn't anything wrong with that lol. it's a solid unit. but I just like other things more. does that make sense? lol
I agree totally with the mx5, but when it comes to the prime and specifically the amp cloning, I feel like it’s pretty competitive for what it offers.
I bought a headrush gig board at launch.they let me down.but i might give them another chance.idk sounds pretty good
I gotta believe that we have massive improvements on capturing technologies coming probably fairly soon. I’m hoping to see something that makes you turn all the knobs on the amp while being captured so to model the full functionality of amps. It would be super cool.
I agree. It just keeps getting better and better. I would not be surprised if they expanded on this in the future as well and made the knob turning behavior more accurate to analog gear. I think NAM is already doing this?
@@TaylorDanley idk about turning the knobs too much on nam. I know that it seems fairly extreme when you do. Really I just try to find an amp that’s already set fairly close to what I’m looking for. So far my favorite nam stuff is some KSR stuff someone modeled. I grabbed up the ceres preamp model and then I got the P.A. 50 model and I run a cab on that instance. So I end up with 2 instances of nam in my signal chain but the second one has my cab on it for obvious reasons. I highly suggest this particular signal chain. It does some really cool stuff on the low end. Adding that pa50 in the signal just takes the whole thing up 10 notches. I guess it’s worth noting, I’m using Duncan JB pickups. My blackouts seem a bit muddy on this signal chain. But also they are muddier on my real amps too.
This signal chain really has me considering selling my tube amps and purchasing a pa50 and a ceres. It really sounds incredible!
@@smeemusic I have a pa50 and it’s the best power amp I’ve ever had! I’ve had all the powerstages, a few pedal power amp pedals, Freyette power station and it blows them all away! I use it with a KSR Vesta and Hera and best tones I’ve ever had! I ended up trading my Ceres and Eros cuz it wasn’t getting used anymore. Also I play in drop A down to drop D1 and the Vesta with Hera does it amazingly! I play mostly blackened deathcore type stuff and it is a very tight tone with much more low end than the Ceres. I kept the bass on the Ceres and Eros dimed and still wasn’t enough for me. Dont get me wrong the Ceres is an awesome pedal but I gravitated towards the Vesta instantly. If anything grab a Victory Kraken v4 preamp pedal if u can find one cuz I wish I didn’t get rid of mine for a Ceres.
@@MetalheadOv666 bro that v4 is the other preamp I’ve been drooling over. For style of playing I’m more into the Gojira kind of tone and those types of rhythms. So I feel like the kraken might get me really close. I mean I already have the same amp Joe duplantier uses and I am perfectly happy with my tone. It’s just that it’s such a massive rig. I’d really like to size down whatever I can. My evh is something like 60 pounds. I’m sorry but that’s just ridiculous for an amp head.
@@smeemusic I was about to order another kraken preamp pedal from zzounds but they don’t have any and nowhere else does either on brand new ones. Not sure if they’re not making them anymore since they have the kraken floor amp that’s 180w SS and the preamp for like $1k. They also have the smaller kraken v1 pedal now that’s a distortion pedal but not tube powered. Guess I’ll have to find one on the used market somewhere
1:55 Well thats going to replace the whale in my nightmares!
😈
sounds good!
My MX5 screen started distorting with lines running through it. Basically the GD screen is about to go out. I've NEVER dropped it or been rough with it. This started happening 3 months after buying it. I called customer service & was told there was a malfunctioning part causing the screen to go out. BUT since I couldn't provide my sales receipt they won't fix the GD issue. I'm getting a Helix or Quad next,screw Headrush.
I really like my Prime & yes, I want more vids and content for HR products. For me, it's ease of use and user friendly that pushed the HR over other stuff. The built in presents are kind of meh (or just plain suck), but there are some good rigs that are available for free or cheap. It is a bit futsty to dial in your tone, but once you have it, it is more than passible. I am not nearly smart enough, talented enough, or snob enough to be overly finnicky about exact match- but that's just me
Love mine had since day one and update is coming soon to add cool stuff so they're hinting..
I'm glad I have this one now, it might actually get some use and then I can keep up with the updates!
What's the power amp pedal you are using my dude?
This Heavy Earth "Higher Power"
I want a complex assessment of the Vocal capabilities , none are available even though 50 percent of the box is dedicated to vocals , you can do it, use it to better your vocals
I have the headrush gigboard and they hardly update it and doesnt really sound that great imo. Plus we dont get the updates the prime does and i bought the units before the prime came out and got screwed.
my $199 Boss GT-1 now THAT is an under rated unit , after all how many variations can one do on distortion/chorus/reverb/delay etc?
find a few sounds you like and get writing and playing! chasing tone may be fun but its also expensive and eats up time that can be better spent playing and writing imo
Just outta curiosity does the GT-1 have some good drop tuned metal distortion sounds for a 212 bedroom player?
@@denverrandy7143It probably does. I have the GT1000Core which is like a souped up version of the GT-1 and I'm always playing a hi-gain amp model with no boost in C# for Alice songs and it sounds totally brutal. The GT-1 is probably almost identical with its amps and sound quality

from giving it a casual look a while ago, it didn't seem like there is too much support for bass players here.
I had the tonex and actually like my headrush because it's so easy to use
I wanted a core , but I just can’t justify moving from my Boss GT 1000 core to it. Mostly due to lack of a pc editor.
I wouldn’t do it. The gt 1000 is one of my favorite modelers all time. I have the core and I wouldn’t take it over the gt 1000.
@@brettphillips2309it’s sooo good. I love it. I just want more models. I wished boss would update the GT series.
Wicked!
I had the QC before buying the Headrush Core 6 months ago and guess what?? I sold the QC 2 months later. Love the Core🔥🔥but stock sounds not a fan of it. Go to the cloud to get bad ass tone then you dial them in to your like😎
loads of good stuff on there, downloaded hundreds of rigs and still working my way through them. search CB, he makes good stuff and mine is probably not the best, but if you search RED- all of mine will load.
Well, I bought the $1000 Headrush Looperboard. They supported it for 2 years. I have zero trust in the company. Their fault, not mine.
I thought that headrush is unfair underrated.... I use mx5 and completely happy with it , but then I bought pedalboard and after one week motherboard just died. It’s called ROD, a lot of users got it and headrush don’t care about it.... it’s sad...
I have the original version of the pedalboard which I purchased about three years ago. They ceased any kind of updating soon after and still no desktop UI. Amp models do NOT provide decent metal tones. Very useful and quality sounds and effects but for chugs, I go to my Neural plugins
I’m not a fan of the built in amps really either. Even with the update of the revolver amps, I just don’t think they sound great for my use… but that being said the clones are excellent, and I can forgive the built in amps since I can just clone my favorites anyways
Also, I do think it’s weird there’s no desktop editor. I think a lot of companies don’t don’t fully understand how a lot of players use their gear.
Because everyone thinks of their headphones when they see the name.
Because the MX5 is cheaper and most people don't want to pay for a mic XLR input to run a paid AutoTune through. The Profiling is nothing to scream from the top of mountains for. The MX5 is awesome for what it does at it's price point, the PRIME is not. For the money I would get a Fractal FM3 or pay more for an FM9
Because it's unnecessarily the size of a truck?
I don't understand why amp capture is even a thing. If you have the circuit schematic for an amp, that's all you need to simulate how it behaves. If you've ever tinkered with a circuit simulator and put an amp circuit in it, you can see how the capacitor, resistor, and potentiometer values influence the signal from the guitar. So it mystifies me why they put that in these devices other than some marketing bullet point to sell more product. If you simulate the circuit, you simulate the amp.
They abandon support for their own products.
old products maybe, but headrush isn't fender make something and a few years later forget it exists... they are still supporting the pedalboard and gigboard. what more could you ask for? everything has a EoL.
That and the fizz that was hard to dial out on the 11rack. I was late to that party I admit , but they stop support on that one after about a year of me owning it.
These units miss the mark for me in both units. The prime is huge and the core, while it seems to be the right size has removed too many foot switches. The need a unit with a smaller screen more foot switches and a pc editor. Till that happens they are off my list.
Mine (the First version) died from the notorious rainbow of death. The support was terrible (Non existent).
So I'll never buy again a headrush product.
Once I have the money, I'll buy a Fractal or a Quad Cortex. Seems far more reliable and serious.
4:40 Man that sounds like muddy shit.
Yeah, did not impress me,for that kind of money ,im choosing ax or line 6
Because Valeton kills all.
😂
personally i Dont like it. on the first 3 amps at least its distortion seems greatly devoid of certain key tonal qualities and instead replaces them with a strange harshness i personally find sort of difficult to listen to, and thats not translating to a cathartic rawness or disgusting brutality in any way i can justify as pleasantly cacophonic. which SUCKS, because what a list of features! it has almost everything i possibly need for my mobile recording purposes.. even MIC I/O & vocal processing stuff! 🤓🤩...and that BIG ass glorious touch screen, FML why does it have to sound like my whole ass??!? dunno, maybe im just having a weird morning.
Idk what it is but the 5150 amp on the Headrush sounds horrible,like just a bad muffled sound?
IMO Kemper getting the 'Liquid Profiling' shows just how versatile it still is. Looks like they designed the product to be a household name that lasts a VERY long time and can still contend with modern trends.
This is coming from a QC/Tonex user.
Too big. what were they thinking...
Nice improvement in the form factor. But, the tones don't appeal to me. They sound lofi and lack depth, to my ears when compared to other Modelers. 🤷
Because it's too expensive.
It would be great to hear this pedal without all the over distorted tone.
Sounds from the early 2000’s. No support. Use to buy one, worst buy in my 35 years of GAS.
bad support!
headrush gigboard is the worst modeler I have ever had.....so bad that I would never touch another headrush. sounds so digital worse than garageband plugins.
i got the core . .and sounds like shit . . the quality of sound is miles away from other brands . . always sounds like washed sound no matter the preset . pretty much the reason is price asked is too high for the quality of sound of it . . the amp cloning is not as good as on other brands also
laughable, did you even try making a rig or the cloud? your sentence would suggest you did not and it sounds like user error...
User error
Bruh they’re shit, I had the pedal board it blew up 2 times it doesn’t even work with poweramp pedals to power the cab, line 6 is much better, built like a tank and have no issues while using power amp pedals
bah ...my esperience with that machine was far less than brilliant ....I purchased it based primarily on demoes on YT and the ability to move icons around etc.,...but when it did come to sounds I wasn't really satisfied with its content so that after 4 months or so I decided to sell it ...burning almost 500 Euros/Bucks. Sorry Headrush .....my answer is : Nah it's not worth even trying it.
I had a Headrush MX5 and I liked it pretty well in general but the biggest turnoff for me was the complete reliance on touchscreen controls, coupled with a complete lack of external software. It's just not the kind of workflow I prefer. I like knobs, if physical, and PC software if not.
Headrush update policy horror...No bug patch and no new features
Had the original HeadRush PB and hated it. Bad quality modeling and effects, inexistent support and no PC/Mac editing software. You will get more with a $300 Nux modeller.
