I don’t think of myself as all that old, but I see this video and I wonder “how can something like this EVEN EXIST??!!”
It’s almost scary. But I love it!
Like YOU always say: What a time to be a guitarist!
Yes indeed!
I have my MX5 for 3 weeks now and I am fully satisfied with it... This is now my ultimate FX...
Good to hear
I grew up as a kid playing guitar in the 80's and wouldn't trade it for anything, but damn I would have killed to have all of the cool gear available today at my disposal. Great time to be a guitar player these days. Pretty cool to know you can basically walk into a gig with all the gear you need in a backpack and not give yourself a blown disc in your lower back hauling heavy amps around.
Excellent!
I remember using a stereo set to play guitar clean, and breaking it to get some distorted sounds. Haha.. ah and recording our songs with a radio
That's why I find it funny when people bicker about what's best ,lol it's all great these days
Finally, after a lot of You tubing I bit the bullet and bought my first modern Pedal board. Headrush. MX5. No idea about IR's etc but will religiously follow your video's. Thanks.
Welcome to the MX5 party. Have fun and stay tuned for more MX5 content.
thanks, bro! excellent video. very informative and inspiring. already ordered one, because of you. headrush, please hook this guy up! ;)
Thanks for the kind words
Nice and informative demo ! Would be interesting to hear some playing patches you tweaked a little bit since now you were just playing presets I assume . For my taste presets are always a little "over the top" since they want to show off "what the unit can do".
Thanks for the feedback and suggestion. Way ahead of you as I'll launch a "Build a Rig" demo this week that should get the job done.
Great video thanks for the video kind of on the fence but I might finally be able to afford one so that's a big plus I think I'm just going to do it in next month or so . 🤘🤘 Checking out more of your channel thanks .
Glad it was helpful! More MX5 Vids to come.
I can’t wait to get this! Upgrading from a boss gt-1! Should be a world of difference! (I hope!)
Hope you enjoy it!
Very cool. I just found you because I did a search on Headrush and you popped up..
Great video. I sub'd.
Excellent info and sound samples and review.
I wish I could find one that had excellent pitch shifting like the H9. I may have to get an H9 as I don't see any other way to get those cool tomes like Steve Vai and EVH, etc.
Thanks man.
Tim. Indiana USA..
Awesome! Thank you!
DAMN RIGHT.....soooo wished I could get one of these...be all ya need for a LONG TIME ..... AND SOUNDS great as well...not "frizzy or twanggy" like some processors do.Headrush is Da Bomb Dig a dee Babyyyyyy!!!!! Stay Safe All....PEACE ...and you LUCKY SOULS enjoy your musical processing Journeys........Would LOVE to see some of em ya'll....COOL VIDEO PEDAL GUY!!!!! AS Usual!!
Thanks for all the kind words
Just got the MX5 it's awesome!👍🎸☺
Excellent!
Scott, thank you so much. You’ve always been super helpful and knowledgeable. It looks like it’s the one for me! One question, I like a polyphonic octave with a Mimiq for a 12 string sound. Does the MX5 have a way to accomplish this?
Sure thing. It has an octave effect but it would take some experimenting to get the result you’re looking for. Are you going for an acoustic or electric 12 string sound?
To keep from lugging a 12 string electric around for 3 songs per set I currently use a stereo POG and I get a decent enough sound. So mainly for electric.
The overall design looks like it somehow can squeeze another footswitch before the built-in expression pedal similar to the ampero, but having a midi in and out at that small footprint is a big plus. Good thing to have another option in the small mfx pedal market.
Good feedback. It just really completes the family of Headrush I think. All that power for $399 is pretty hard to beat. Plus if you want additional footswitches the Ampero Control should get the job done.
Love the headrush.
It’s pretty cool right 👍
Awesome!!!
Thanks.
great video. I'm trying to pick between the headrush mx5 and a pod go. I've watched nearly every video I could find on both and I'm not closer to deciding. Both units have pros and cons that make it very hard for me to pick between
Keep watching and reading. You'll make the right choice.
a lot of value there.
Yes indeed! Thanks for watching. More MX5 vids to come.
Hey Scott, great video mine is on its way, im thinking of putting it threw two of the headrush frfr 108 speakers for a stereo effect any thoughts on how that will sound?
It will sound amazing
I have a basic and what could be a dumb question. If I have multiple effects in my rig (let’s say 5 or 6) and I’m in the middle of a song and need to turn one off and another on “quickly” how many stomps and hold-down combinations do I have to go through to accomplish this? -From a current HRPB user.
This can easily be accomplished with creating Scenes for your HR Rig. It's applicable to all versions of the HR board.
Nice video.Compared to the BOSS GT 1000 Core which one has the best dynamic playing feel?
Thanks for the question. I actually haven’t used the GT1000 so I can’t offer a comparison.
Hi thanks for all ur clips, can the head rush sync with the sdrum?
Yes you can! Here's a vid that shows you how. ua-cam.com/video/LYHtEDOIAOk/v-deo.html
By any chance is there a switch in the toe of the expression pedal like the Helix has?
Yes it has a toe switch. But it doesn’t have a toe switch output.
What is your opinion of this Vs Nux MG 30? Just got it, but considering whether I should return it and get this instead.
Thanks for the question. I’ve answered it a few times already so please have a look through the comments on this video.
Thx for the review ! I'm just wondering if there is some kind of a built in "drop tune" feature ? I currently use a digitech drop which I just can't live without but if the headrush had that thing built in that would be great !
Yes. It's called DROP TUNE and is specifically modeled after the Digi Drop
@@ThePedalGuy great! Thank you very much!
I have the GigBoard, the bigger version. Drop Tune tracks much better than the Drop. I had a Line 6 HX Stomp. This is much more user friendly, and I don’t need extra pedals with this. With the Stomp I did.
I actually just tried an MX5 at GC for a couple hours earlier for this very reason and it does pitch tracking way better than any other Multi-FX unit I've tried before. I usually put a pitch shifter in front of an octaver to give me a CKY sound without having to retune to D standard and those two effects either are pretty big DSP hogs, create a lot of latency, or don't mesh well together and I was very impressed how little latency there was, how well it tracked power chords, and how good it sounded. There were a couple of times I heard a tiny bit of artifacting on the octaver model but the drop model was super solid. I was even more impressed since I tried this exact situation on a Headrush Pedalboard a while ago when they were relatively new AND a Gigboard when those came out and it was absolutely unusable on both, I'm talking like 30ms or something of latency. This little unit must be more powerful or they did some killer updates with the software or some combination of both because I didn't expect it to handle that scenario so well.
I own or have owned a GT-100, GT-1, HX Stomp, G5, G1XFour, and G3 and I can say the MX5 handles this situation better than all of those. About as much latency as running a Drop into a MicroPOG.
I have a question. I need something extremely simple to take to gigs, which would allow me to store multiple setups for different styles and songs. Is this what I need?
Yes you could use it with Setlists and it would make for an effective solution
I gig with the GigBoard all the time; it is very simple and gives me great, usable tones.
Love Headrush stuff..! How was the feel in the room..? Was it amp like.? Cheers from North Carolina..! 👍🍻🇺🇸
Thanks for watching. I love the feel of the amps.
Thanks for this review.... I want to resume to play the guitar after 20 years of inactivity. I got the original PSA1 rack edition coupled with old SGX2000 first edition. I want something more compact mostly for blues (SRV style) and funky music. Your sound demo was to much targetting "big sound" for me no hard to get from any multieffect. Do you plan to release some other sound demo with this new little guy ? Thanks a lot.
There will be more vids to come that should help.
Get something like a Tech21 Flyrig maybe, if your needs are simple.
Which in your opinion from the mx5 and the mg30 which sounds better?
Thanks. I've answered this a few times already in the comments section. It really comes down to a matter of taste. Please listen to all of the demo vids out there on both units and you'll find your answer 😉
Is there a way to be in stomp mode to use all three foot switches for effects and still switch from rig to rig?
Don’t think so
I really like the clean looking design of their pedals. This one is just so simple looking to operate. I owned a Gig Board model and sold it, not because I didn’t like it though. I just like to try different options. Does this offer acoustic IR’s and acoustic amp models built in? I’m interested but the NUX MG-30 offers so much in the way of acoustic products I’m not sure about paying more for the Headrush unless it also has acoustic capabilities.
Thanks for the question. The HR does have an Acoustic sim built in. Admittedly, it's not as versatile as the MG30 in this regard but I got some pretty decent acoustic sounds out of both units.
@@ThePedalGuy Thanks
@@im58woody sure thing.
The midi function, does it include an external midi tempo sync for the looper ??
No the looper doesn’t have that functionality in any of the Headrush boards except the looperboard of course. I know it’s been requested several times so maybe soon.
@@ThePedalGuy
Thank you and Good Luck with this little pedal, lotsa possibilities !! :)
does it have the same sound engine (or whatever it is called) as the headrush gigboard/pedalboard?
Yes. Same processing as the main Headrush and Gigboard.
@@ThePedalGuy I was wondering the same. The website does not confirm this.
Does it have vocal capabilities? Thanks for the vid.
It’s not meant to work with vocals but you certainly could do it with an impedance converter.
Thanks for the video... Does anyone know if this product will sync its in built looper with a beatbuddy via the midi, and does that mean we can record the beatbuddy on the looper with this function or just be able to play along with whatever is recorded on the looper staying in sync with the BB or neither... many thanks in advance
Thanks for the question. The HR looper doesn’t sync with midi clock.
@@ThePedalGuy Wow thanks for the super quick reply!!!! oh what a shame, I'm still looking for the ultimate multi FX pedal for my needs. Have the MG300 although really amazing the actual audio quality through headphones is a little too thin sounding for me, it emulates the tubes very well but unfortunately I find it lacks in tube warmth or fullness/depth. Have a GE200 which is sort of inferior sounding to the MG300 but once Mooer's free downloadable GNL file samples are loaded and there's so many even too many to choose from) it sounds really good better than the MG300 having a much more fuller warmer tube like sound, but the GE200 looper is extremely poor. Getting back to the HR I suppose the BB loop could be recorded directly onto the unit or I could easily create a wav file loop on my pc using mixcraft (excellent multi track recorder with the ability to splice sound tracks for loops).
@@dsam6990 yes you can load your own loops into the mx5
This is a great intro review. For a newbie to modeling, this seems like it would be the best purchase (under $1K or so) on the market right now. I want not only to try using studio monitors through a computer for a different sound (basically so I can have less volume than my tubes) and also for recording (and silent use with headphones). I only have a Microsoft Surface right now which does not have a lot of inputs/outputs built in. Would this work ok with a PC considering it would act as not only an amp and effects unit but also an audio interface for a DAW? Apologies, my knowledge on the digital world when it comes to guitar is wayyy behind, I have always been an amp and pedal guy, but at this point in life might need to turn down a bit. Are there free profiles online like the Kemper also? Thanks again, great vid.
Thanks for watching. Well, a couple of things to consider.
1. The Headrush doesn't have an editor software for your PC. It's only on the HR itself. So, the only reason you would connect it to your PC is to record, which is fine.
2. There are absolutely tons of free presets out there. There are also hundreds if not thousands of IR profiles that can be purchased or in some cases offered up for free. The HR MX5 includes 300 in the box as is.
@@ThePedalGuy Thanks, yes I realize that the only reason you would connect it to a computer is to record, download upgrades, or third party IRs, etc. Some people dislike that but I think its a plus for people like me who are used to plugging any playing. Is the touch screen very responsive and easy to use at such a small size though?
I just bought one of these and was watching videos on the unit; what I could find, as it was being shipped... and the one glaring UI issue I'm having is figuring out how to assign the stomp pedal button to pedals other than those in the factory presets... I'm surprised there's not just a check mark in the settings for the pedals for it to be assigned to the stomp box.
UI on these audio things are weirdly lazy in 2021... it's like they still are using UI design from 2006
Hi. I actually created a vid last week that covers Hardware Assignments which will get ya sorted out
Hi! I'm between the pod go line 6 and the headrush mx5. Which one do you prefer?
They're both great. I would recommend listening to more demos.
Running a Mooer GE150 through a Headrush FRFR-108...thinking this might be a decent upgrade from that Mooer.
Yes this would be a big step up from the 150.
The Mooer ge 200 looks very good too
Forgive my naivetivity, I own a Les Paul with a small amp since the early 80’s which spent more time is storage than my home. I recently gave it to a friend to fix it. Bottom line, I’ve not played it in…20-30 years? I’ve owned a 6-string acoustic Takamine guitar for 25 years and love it but I’ve recently bought a Strat and I’m completely ignorant to pedals and effects. I’m looking for anything that can make any of my guitars sound like a piano or keyboard, is there anything out there you’d suggest? I’ve also got a 12 string Takamine. Thank you.
No problem. What you're asking about is a MIDI guitar. That's not what the MX5 does. There are MIDI guitars out there like the Jamstik. I am planning on a series to cover this topic in the near future.
Hope that helps.
Do you see any problem with not having XLR outs like the older Headrush?
Thanks for your question. It doesn’t bother me at this price point. The outputs on the MX5 are balanced outs, just not xlr
@@ThePedalGuy Thanks for your answer - that's what I wanted to know!
If this had more high gain amps and more effects i would get this for portability.. Sold headrush pedalbaord to get axe fx 2
Thanks for the feedback
Personal choice, The Headrush (including this new MX5) or a Line6 LT? Im tryin to do My own research but Im curious about ur opinion. Im trying to focuz on post sound quality mostly. They seem very similar & it looks like it could come down to how MANY options I want since they sound very similar. Thoughts?
Hi. Thanks for the question. Just want to make sure I understand the ask. You are looking for an opinion between the Helix LT at $999 vs the MX5 at $399? Well, it's kind of an Apples to Oranges question as the LT has a lot of power at that price point. A more accurate comparison would be against the main HR Pedalboard.
I do like the sound quality of what I have heard in the Helix family, although it is a little limited to the HX Stomp XL. However, all along, my pet peeve about L6 in general is the way that they do the looping as it doesn't run independently of the preset like it does with HR/NuX/Hotone....
@@ThePedalGuy thanks for the opinion. I guess for me it's not about the price it's more about the quality of the rigs in the boards. Line 6 obviously has more choices and options but I have found that that doesn't always mean the better quality so I was really curious as which you would prefer I suppose in general I guess the Head Rush or the Line6 products sound quality wise.
@@NoiZeTribe4Life if mobility is important, then mooer ge250 and this headrush mx5 are the best ones to get. you can even think of mooer ge300. you will need less time to get the sound you want with mooer compared to L6 products. but L6 Helix LT is the milestone at its price range. It is like getting a notebook and a desktop computer. If you want a full product to use like a desktop computer and do not need to move it around, then get the Helix LT. If you like mobility, you want your device in your bag while you are going to friends/cafes/other locations, then keep it simple by getting headrush or one of the mooer products.
Can you use the MX5 to select channels on my amp head?
Not that I'm aware of.
can it be used effects only? no amp or cab?
Yes absolutely
Hi there simply great review as always. 👍 I do have a couple of questions, is there a difference between this device and gigboard by headrush? What are the Differences besides there size? Also which device is bettter at amp modeling, the NUX MG 30 or the MX5? Sorry for the many questions.
Thanks Angel. Appreciate your feedback. Aside from the size, the main difference that I can see with the Gigboard is the lack of an expression pedal and a few additional controls. I will plan to do a video to lay out the differences for my subs.
As far as the MG30 goes, it really comes down to what your ears tell you. Have a listen to all the demos out there and you'll find the right answer.
@@ThePedalGuy Thank you. How many presets does the MX5 have?
Hey man if you’re on the fence of which one of these to buy, I just want to mess you up some more-haha. First really consider the dimensions, just from this video unless his hands are humongous, this thing has to be seriously small, it appears both of his hands cover the whole unit? I went through a small headache and finally came to decide upon the MG 30 but they sent me a unit that was supposed to stay on the Chinese mainland. I was bummed because the sounds were super good and it felt really good to play. My initial interest was to have better reverbs and to not have to bring out my big pedal boards for a home recording, along with a dedicated clear stereo path. Immediately my Home recordings and through my busking set up everything sounds way better. I never got to play it thru a tube amp so can’t help there. I would say the MG 30 appears to be bigger than this, Although it is smaller than appears on camera, but the main thing I didn’t think about it was the little expression pedal. Besides a small footprint for my size 11 there’s not a lot of “throw” in the expression pedal. Because of availability and the language mistake I went ahead and got a pod go. I’ve had it a few weeks now and I’m pretty much on the fence about sending it back. It seems a lot if not all have a thing going on with the rotary encoders, namely the two main ones in between the view and action buttons and between the two page buttons. There’s been numerous inquiries about spinning the knob and nothing happening, and then catching up, and this is with me slowly turning it, Not just grabbing it and wildly wringing it. I apologize for going on & on, I just happen to be updating it while I’m viewing on my phone. It has so many features and definitely capable of sounding great but I frequently miss the plug and play abilities of that little MG 30, and I’m sure I would’ve liked it a lot more if I had the ability to Tweak The presets a little. I definitely like the availability of the pedal guy here, Plus he’s only a couple cities away from me, in case there’s a problem. Maybe your best bet is to terret down and pull the trigger on one and just unwrap it carefully. If it doesn’t meet your expectations wrap it back up nicely and exchange it, until you find the one you like.
@@LTJR. Thanks man, I did pull the trigger and ordered it through Musician's Friend. I should getting it Tuesday. I should tell you I have the Line 6 Helix and it is absolute beast. I was looking for something different and portable. That is why I couldn't decide between the MX5 or MG 30. Stay tuned. Oh, let me ask you, do you play with headphones on? I need a good set of over the ear headphones. Thank you for replying.
@@ThePedalGuy Thank you. Do you play or practice with headphones. I need a good pair of over the extra headphones. I use the AKG K553 MKII Professional Headphones. Thank you.
I prefer the Hotone Ampero, even if it's a dark horse in the modeling unit sweepstakes (I use the Ampero only for direct recording). If the MX5 has the same sounds as the original Headrush, it doesn't make much sense to me at this date. PS - I have the Avid Eleven rack which was the precursor to the original Headrush unit which has "some" good useable sounds. Of course all this stuff is a matter of personal taste and what you're looking for soundwise.
I love my ampero too! such great sounds
Fair enough
Helo ,what youthink about the less knobs to control parameters ,in that unit ?
It’s fine for me. At this price it’s a pretty nice deal. Additionally you can add an Ampero Control to give you four more footswitches if you like.
@@ThePedalGuy thanks now i got a Digitech 360xp and works well will see this next time
Taking cost out of the equation, this, Pod Go, or Stomp XL? Best sounding of the 3?
Well, as far as sound goes I can get a great sound out of all these options. However, my one pet peeve about L6 is that the Looper lacks in features as it doesn't run independently of the presets. This is something that the HeadRush family does really well and that makes a difference to me and the way I approach them. Hope that helps.
@@ThePedalGuy helps a lot. Thanks for the quick response 👍
@@joelhotan4536 glad to help
Debating between buying this and a Boss GT-1B to use with my bass. Not sure which I should go with.
It’s up to you. The mx5 has bass amps and fx.
How many users Patchs does it have for creste news users Patch?🙏🙏
I want to get one, does anybody know where there is an outlet in Jerusalem or in Tel Aviv in this price range.
Hello! And what about shipping in Russia if i buying it from your site? How much is it? Thanks
Best way to do it is purchase via the eBay global shipping program
An xlr out would have been a big plus. I know you can just use a DI box but that's one more thing to bring on a gig
Thanks for the feedback
These are balanced outs, no need for DI just a simple TRS to XLR cable or adapter
Who's better? Mx5 or mooer ge 300? Sound comparition
I haven't tried the GE300 but I was familiar with the other GE series. The MX5 beats it hands down.
Thanks for the review and making my decisions even more complicated!! However that expression pedal looks quite small - how did you find it?
I do what I can 😉
The expression pedal is a bit compact. However, if it really is an issue you can always get an external expression pedal in the future.
On the headrush website it does not say quad core processor... or that it is the same processor as the pedalboard or gigboard. Can you please confirm?
On the box it states very clearly best in class quad core processing
@@ThePedalGuy thank you! That's awesome! Definitely worth buying then!
@@saadshah7857 Sure thing. We have them in stock if you're interested.
@@ThePedalGuy thank you my good man. But I work for a distributor, so I will be able to use my Gain program on it.
You know the biggest request after this. Mg30 vs mx5.
I'm still thinking mg300. That should be enough for me.
I will probably do a comparison video at some point.
Sir Hotone ampero vs mx5?
I would suggest listening to the audio demos for both units to make your choice.
does the mx5 have the "Drop Tune" option?
Yes, there's a Drop Tune effect
@@ThePedalGuy thank you good sir :)
I have a Gigboard now. Other than screen size, this seems like a better value. I need an expression pedal. Most run $120-$160. Is it smart to sell my Gigboard and buy MX5; or spend the extra and keep Gigboard? Thoughts?
It’s really a matter of opinion really. I would suggest getting the Headrush expression pedal at $150. It’s a really solid piece.
@@ThePedalGuy Thanks for the recommendation and fast response. Great review! 🎸
@@BillMWirth happy to help
Will it work for Bass??
Yes, absolutely. There are bass amps and cabs built in.
Can you read the display from a standing position?
Yes but it is a smaller screen than the original HR. However the size is on par with the Ampero and MG30 aa far as the size goes.
Thanks for the quick response.
@@craigkoons6501 happy to help
Please make video for the new firmware updates
Coming up tomorrow morning.
Please, make a video about the comparision between Headrush mx5 and the Nux mg30, now i have dude to which buy, great video!
Noted!
Can you play bass guitar through this??
Yes. There are bass presets and bass amps.
I have a fm3 but damn I miss that touch screen
Gotcha
Any bass presets?
Yes there are some bass presets. I’ve also shown viewers how to create their own as well.
So I was wanting the nux mg 30 but now that I’ve seen this for only a hundred more what do you think is the better overall choice? I’m into Metal and hard rock so the acoustic part doesn’t really matter,thanks for the advice in advance.
It's a tough question to answer, as you get more processing power with the MX5 and more IRs, so there will certainly be a tonal difference. As you follow my channel, you know I like both of these brands a lot so I would suggest simply listening to my demos and the other ones out there and decide for yourself. Go with what sounds better to you.
Are you sure only a hundred more ? Thomann sells the Nux MG 30 for 298 Euro and this Headrush for 555....
@@lowrencemayfield4271 from the headrush site it's $399 USD.
@@lowrencemayfield4271 in the US it’s $399
@@tobins6800 yes
Oh wow!!! Does it sound like the big brothers?
I was about to buy the POD GO, but this stuff looks much more awesome :-)
I know that you'll probably post another videos about it, but I'm very interested in
- what happens while rig switching, is there a delay or not? Or maybe there is the "fadeout" option like in the big one?
- I assume that MIDI in/out allows to connect external controller to expand for example stomp mode?
It sounds as good as the pedalboard and gigboard, just in a smaller footprint. As far as switching presets, yes it performs exactly the same way as the original does with regards to effect tails.
There’s a list of midi cc’s that the mx5 will respond to so you can add external midi controllers to the rig in order to expand the capabilities. Hope that helps.
More vids to come.
Yes, you helped, thanks! Looking forward to the new videos!
when will you have them in stock? also vs the mg-30?? tone/effect wise what do you think???
I have the mx5 in stock. Personally I like them both. Just remember that the mg30 is $100 less and has two processors while the mx5 has four so it’s not quite a fair comparison
@@ThePedalGuy well..processors aside the mg30 "could" sound better..i mean from what i read the mx5 is the same tones as the 5 yrs old headrush.I would have expected them to update the amp models and effects in that time?
I would use the MX5 as a recording only pedal because I have a Kemper, but I'm thinking about getting the Line 6 Native Helix software for recording. The MX5 is awesome if you're a guitar or bass player gigging on Broadway in Nashville and doing 3 or 4 gigs a day & night and need a compact rig. The MX5 sounds really good!
Nice.
Ooo!
Yes indeed!
This or hotone ampero?
I would have a listen to the audio demos on both, look at the feature sets, and then make the choice. There's a ton of Ampero demo material out there, including my channel. Plus, Pete Thorn just released a MX5 demo yesterday that I think sounds pretty decent.
This company is going to disapear if they don't revamp their marketing and tech. Competition is fierce and ahead of them.
Thanks for sharing. I feel that HR is probably making the right moves at the moment. There are some really choice updates planned, so the tech is just going to get better.
@@ThePedalGuy Now all they need to do is make their EU prices better & it's a home run ;)
Nice product indeed. I like the size and functionality. Any chance you can do dual amps with this ?
How ideally would you want to use the dual amps? Do you mean a wet dry wet rig?
yes you can..same power as the flagship
@@ThePedalGuy I need a wide stereo spread (as big a sound as possible.) I play solo instrumental stuff. No drums, bass, etc. So the guitar has to be interesting. I know there are devices that can help with this too.
@@davidwoods358 ah ok. Yea, it can do that just fine. Working with the internal mixer of the MX5 and a stereo set of amps or FRFR's should give you a good result.
@@ThePedalGuy Thank you so much for taking the time. I do appreciate it.
i don't know...how much? NUX MG30?
It’s $399. The mg30 is $299
@@ThePedalGuy WHICH DO YOU PREFER?
@@landosazo7506 I’ve already answered this question a couple of times today in the comments section. Take a look 😀
Distortion still has that sizzle...
I’ve always liked it but the OCD emulations are my favorite in the overdrive category
👍🎸👌
Thanks
mg30 couldnt even get properly distributed and now its game over it wont be to compete when this brand is sold in most major retailers
I don’t quite agree as the price point is different and there are plenty of brand loyalists on both sides of this. The mg30 is on the way and should be hitting the US soon
This or the FM9;-)
😂 a $1599 pedalboard vs a $399 board?
I'm confused, there is no conclusion in the conclusion.?
LOL 🙄
Here's my take on the MX-5. Don't bother trying to dial in a good tone without Custom IRs. Even then the Helix and PODGo products are way better in the amp tones before it hits the Custom IRs. The only way to get a good tone out of the MX-5 is to use a great Custom IR because the amp tone is not that good. Also, the amp selection is a handful of amps with some slight variations. You get what you pay for and the MX-5 is cheap. Mine got returned and I had high hopes for it since it was based on the Eleven Rack product line.
🤦🏼♂️
cheap?
I just run this to my tube amp and get a bunch of FX vs buying a bunch of pedals? Anyone? Please?
Not sure what the ask is here.
Are the sounds the same as the Headrush?
Yes
No computer based editing killed it for me. That's insane that they didn't include that.
It's a matter of perspective. I find that while CPU based apps are helpful, you can easily find yourself getting lost in the weeds quickly.
@@ThePedalGuy in context, I'm looking at it as a computer appliance, and it is missing features that almost any modern computer device has (backups, propagation, etc).
Where are the specifications?
On the Headrush website. I will also paste them into the vid description later today
@@ThePedalGuy Went there and nothing I could find? See if you see anything. thx
I just added the features to the vid description. The tech specs are on the last page of the MX5 manual which can be downloaded from the Headrush website.
@@ThePedalGuy That was nice of you to do all that work. What is missing is important. Resolution of A-D D-A converters. Sampling of converters. Resolution of processor. In the end the ear is what counts to most and truthfully a guitar does not have the widest bandwidth. But still very important. Thanks for all your work...
Guitar In stereo? FX Send stereo? FX Return stereo? "Custom-designed DSP"? So better than my SHARC+ DSPs in the multifx I have now? Windows editor??
Not sure what the ask is here.
sounds kinda muffled:(
I’ll have to go back and listen again as it was crackin loud and bright when I recorded it.
Ampero Platinum 😂
LOL 😂
I think it might be easier to learn to fly a 747... than to figure out how to operate this device...
Lol 😂
That's a pretty distinguished pedal
Ya!
Design and interface are cool, but the sound? Bleah 😣
Keep close to my Ampero.
Thanks for sharing
0:31 Price is the actual amount of money given in exchange for a product/service. A price point, on the other hand, is a point on a scale of possible prices for a product. So, I gather you work for this company then?
🙄 No I am a dealer for this brand. I do not work for them.
Way too small for my taste.
Then the gigboard might be a better way to go 👍
Sorry but it sounds awefull...
Thanks for the "awefull" spelling 😉
Holy yuck. Not one realistic usable tone.
🤷♂️
It's a 399.00 toy, good luck 😂
🙄
👍🎸👌
Thanks
