Headrush MX5 | an Inside and Out Review with Playing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2021
- The Headrush MX5 FX processor is the latest guitar amp simulator from the company. Here I take a look at the inside and out of this brand new effects pedal and play too!
This is no quad cortex that's for sure but the Headrush MX5 is a low cost entry in to a very crowded sector of guitarists equipment so I bought one and decided to take a much closer look than what I saw in other reviews. So is this unit like the headrush gigboard even? or the Headrush Looperboard? And what about the Line 6 pod go? or the nux mg 30
Firstly you can see all about the quad processor inside. Much is made about that in every video I have seen and while it's true that the processor IS a quad design, you might be surprised about what else it's used for. Very surprised!
Strangely this MX5 FX effects processor does not have editing software available! Headrush in their wisdom have decided that the touch screen is all you will need. Maybe. But there are issues with that.
I also show examples of where the screen might be a disruptor against a smooth work flow process if you were using this unit in any professional way.
I have also offered a score based on my own opinion taking in to account how it worked for me and the results I achieved from my own playing and that of Levi Mckenzie and his comments.
Lastly I do show some of the tones of the MX5 digitally recorded and finish up with a couple of rock examples showing what I could get out of the unit by way of high octane metal and rock music.
Do bear in mind that this is NOT a tutorial about the pedalboard but rather a way for you to see the good and less good about this effects system that others never show you.

Some might come on here looking for 'Pete Smith' as he purported his name to be from his August 22nd 2021 empty channel. Don't bother - he is clearly someone that created that channel to create trouble on this video review. He is of course now banned. And ANYONE that comes it in a similar way will be removed permanently. It's that simple really. So 'Pete Smith'... get stuffed... pork roll. Creating these video reviews cost me time and money - so show some respect for the channel and person creating them whether you agree with the review or not. Thanks.
Jesus, that was painful..
Listen to ‘for the creator’ on UA-cam, the guy makes this $450 box sound amazing. He talks a little and plays a lot. It’s not the hardware it’s the musician.
You sound like one of those players that think the presets will sound good. They never do, you have to adjust the eq to your pickups, amp, and speakers. A Tele's single coils will sound much brighter that modern humbuckers.
Sagging another product, that's awsome of you. Three for three of the videos that have showed up in my feed. For the price of two decent pedals, these little units are awsome. It's incredibly easy to use, and it's so versatile. I kinda wish these would stop showing in my suggested. There's a knob you can use over there if it's too figity and the biggest problem I see is you just didnt spend the time to actually learn how to use the piece of kit. A computer is only as smart as the input from the user. These are 399 in tbe US. You can barely get a a decent wah and fuzz for that.
Tony I’m so glad that you actually purchase the stuff you review and that’s one of the reasons I love your channel you never let anyone influence your opinion you tell it like it is good or bad I agree with you people should take some of the stuff they buy apart and look at it some of the so called boutique stuff is real junk you proved that and I thank you for all your great videos.
It sounds good, easy to use but after 1 year suddenly endless hissing, crazy background noises... returned under warranty and replaced.... the new one arrived the day after and connected to the same computer IMPOSSIBLE TO READ THE USB DEVICE ... in practice it can be used as a sound card but it is impossible to transfer files from the computer to the device. Returned and bye... really a shame because the product is well made, it sounds great but the reliability is shit.
Love the level of detail here. I get sick of reviews showing how great the reviewer is at playing rather than focusing on the product. Another great review.
I've had my Headrush pedalboard 4 years now and love it. IR's are the difference maker as well as taking the time to dial in the tone. No regrets with my purchase and with two FRFR112's it's perfect for any gig I'd do. Personal preference rules but time spent customizing, setting up setlists and dialing in tones, makes mine the only thing I need.
Great review thanks! Overall I think you were pretty positive about the unit, only drawbacks being the design choices of small screen and no computer app. I have small hands, no computer, and low patience for reading manuals. Looks ideal to me
It's good to see you back Tony and your reviews. Hope you get better soon. Best wishes, take care.
Nice shredding, Tony! And a very in-depth and honest review. My wallet needs more reviews like this!
I hope you kept it..It's an amazing unit...Solid Amp modeler I am using the FX loop using 2 H9s and a Poly Beebo..I really appreciate this review..Especially commennts about the processing chip and build quality...I am happy with it..got a stylus to help with the 4" Screen...again keep up on the unbiased reviews..Much thanks
Superb Tony, thank you. It always terrifies me when i'm dealing with heat disipation parts, in my younger days i've taken heat syncs off without a thought of having heat paste or are the fixings torqued down to a particular tightness. Your reviews are valued, thanks for the time you take.
First real review, suscribed!, gonna see all other reviews, real eye opener. Keep doing that excellent work. Cheers
Thank you for your review👍 It’s the first time when I see so many tech details and pictures of international hardware. In my opinion MX5 is absolutely amazing for beginners 👍
Absolutely GREAT video. This is the Types of reviews Mechanically inclined lads wanna see. Cheers bro! Good stuff
Hi Tony, just got my mx5 a week ago and stumbled upon your video. Really appreciate the time and effort you put in doing this. We need more people like you in youtube or the whole internet i should say. Hope you continue to do videos like this. Even though i don't agree on some points but some of these vary from user to user. Just like in my end, it sucks that it doesn't have the software but upon using the touchscreen, didn't have any problems and eventually liked it as it doesn't slow down my workflow.
Absolute best technical breakdown of the latest processors I've come across from someone with some real knowledge and Common Sense. No pitch, no B.S. No10 minute Edited Solos, Thank You Tony ! Ever watch any Monarchs or Glasgow Speedway Bike Races ? Thought you might be in that vicinity ? I'm in south Orange County, CA. U.S. Cheers.
Great playing at the end!!! You didn't rush it. I was in Taiwan, and South Korea, and both have fabulous people, places, and pulses.
