    Early adopter Prime owner here (Bassist and vocalist). Fantastic video. Unbiased and honest with great production. I was going to sell my Prime, as recently I've been seduced into making my own massive pedal board with dual paths and fancy pedals and also putting together a 19" mobile rack vocal chain for live and studio. However, having just rehearsed with my old band, I've realised that carting all that gear around and all that expense was unnecessary. Compared to the Prime, when 'in the mix' of a DAW or playing live at volume, there's just no advantage of doing it 'old school'. Sure, compared in isolation, there's going to be differences, but compared to the functionality and convenience of Prime, I now think this particular unit (Headrush Prime) is actually the sweetspot irrespective of cost. Throwing money at more premium set-ups just doesn't get you better results when creating real music when mixed. The Prime takes time to master and I'm going back to it.

      Thanks for the comment. I was headed down the road of tube amp with excessive pedal arrangement as well. I realized that would have been an endless journey with constant changes and too much money. I decided to purchase the core and get focused on the music instead of being trapped in the gear chase.

    That intro was absolutely insane! Felt like I was about to watch a re-enacting of the Big Bang! This doesn’t make me want the prime any less though, I never realized how much I liked having an expression pedal for playing ambient stuff and swells, plus the extra lil doo dads make my brain tingle.
    I’d love to know how you made that effect in the beginning, that actually hit me in the feels.
    Great vid as always!

      Basically a long effects chain of Auto Swell, Ambi Verb and Eleven Reverb then having the Expression range linked to the Gain on the amp model (you can see me turn it up with the touchscreen) so past a certain point it crosses the Auto Swell threshold. Drop me a PM on Insta if you'd like the rig file to play with yourself! 😉

I am very close to taking the plunge with a new Core, quick question If I use the 5-Rig Mode to have my 5 seperate rigs (1 rig per footswitch), can I also then 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?

      I am sort of in the same boat. I have had the Helix LT, Floor, Rack, POD Go. I LOVE the Helix tone. I have also had a Headrush Pedalboard and enjoyed it. The tone never quite did it for me compared to the Helix. BUT...the touchscreen....man that feature had me going back to HR a few times over the past few years.
      The HR Prime is really attracting me. It has the vocal routing which I like (coming from a Floor). The touchscreen WITH the frigging pictures of actual pedals and amps vs. generic ones like previous gen. The Prime/Core series seems head and shoulders above Pedalboard/Gigboard.
      But I do like the cost of the Pod Go and have been tempted to go back to one b/c it literally does just what I need. the Headrush offers scalability but it's $$$ even on the used market.

    Couple of questions: do the revalver amps sound exactly like peavey revalver plugin? I always dug those tones. Second: when you're capturing an amp, does it mainly just end up going with a similar amp model and matching EQ or is it more of an exact profile of the tone?

    • @ChilledGuitarReviews
      @ChilledGuitarReviews  5 місяців тому +2

      To my ears these sound very similar to the OG Revalver plugin yep and with the last firmware update the latency also seems to have improved. With the profiling from what I've seen it very much varies by amp and how well the person doing the profile has set it all up. The profiles I have downloaded off the Cloud like the MT15 one this video have mostly been excellent however!

    Nicely put together - most people don’t appreciate how much work goes into these kinds of videos.
    I was wondering if you’ve tried the unit with acoustic? There’s not really much online regarding this (which seems odd as it has the whole vocal input / effects routine as a USP). Would be very curious whether it’s possible to retain the low end in both acoustic and vocal (any examples I’ve seen sound like they have an aggressive high pass filter on them).

To get the best out of this unit just pair it with any set of Studio Monitors or an FRFR, or if you really like the feeling of a traditional cab pushing air you could use it with a small pedal based Poweramp to drive a Guitar Cab (I use the Harley Benton GPA100).

    Good evening, good man. Thanks for the video - very aesthetic video, interesting thoughts. Prime is my first introduction to Headrush. Impressed with the device and its guitar effects. I have enough of them, I have too many of them. I'm laughing, because only the bogner red channel suited me from the distort guitars. For my songs, a warm, not harsh, lamp-like overdrive sound is best suited. Vocal effects and microphone input are very important to me, as I'm primarily a vocalist with guitar accompaniment for fun. Thanks a lot for the IR, it really sounds great. Sounds great with bogner red channel. Thank you very much, I bow three times. The only thing that disappointed me about Prime was the Practice Tool. Complicated "Tool", does not remember the volume settings, loads the audio file slowly, there is no way to quickly move through the list of backing tracks with footswitches. And fast movement through the list of audio tracks or loops has been known to me in Boss or Digitech loopers since 2010. It's a shame that the Practice Tool is impractical to use. Making Headrush a simple audio file player with a playlist that could be controlled with your feet would be brutally practical.

    • @ChilledGuitarReviews
      @ChilledGuitarReviews  8 місяців тому

    • @NeriusPeciura
      @NeriusPeciura 8 місяців тому

      Sorry, I didn't mention that I use the practice tool after I have uploaded the works to the internal memory of the device. ( I'm a dark and superstitious person, I don't trust streaming :) ) I was once excited like a little kid when I streamed backing tracks from my tablet to Prime via bluetooth. But soon the bluetotoot connection went down and I won't try to use it again. Because it will be fun when your bluetooth connection goes down during a concert.
      It seems to me that the Practice Tool is designed to be a player for polishing and refining solo parts and other parts of the songs, though. Practice Tool is not easy and quick to use, especially its track list. For example, skipping from number one to number ten is not a quick process. The real bugbear is that Practice Toll doesn't remember simple settings. If you change the volume level - when you switch the device back on it will be -10 dB again. If you disable the wave file loop button, it is re-enabled after rebooting the unit.
      I have watched your other videos and they pulsate with high culture and wisdom. It was very well explained why you don't even want to buy cheap guitars - they don't have any spirit and don't inspire you to create. That is absolutely true.@@ChilledGuitarReviews

    I'm really intrigued by this Core. It's too bad there isn't a Mac/PC software Editor which make creating your own IR's etc... much easier.
    PS- What is that stand you have the Headrush Core propped up on? That's definitely the way to go for Desktop recording.

      Hey man I will try and remember to add it to my Headrush Cloud account later but all I did was add a Green OD pedal set very low (Drive at 20%, Tone at 50%, Volume at 100%) in front of the amp. Disabled the included cabinet simulation and instead used my own IR which you can download here - www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/y2fla3sm674mpml47ygvk/2off-pres5.wav?rlkey=5p06hcd0oimdtkkj8xfiv1vsm&dl=0

    I love how all these videos on the Core praise it for being so good, yet every Prime video nags about how there's no real updated sounds. They're practically identical except the Prime is more usable as an all in one unit on stage. I spent $300 more and got a Prime and couldn't be happier! If your dropping $1000 might as well save a little bit more and get the flagship with all the features.
    By the way that 5150II sound is freaking huge. Good review.

      Everyone I've seen who regularly gigs with this unit installs a plastic screen protector for this reason. It does also have a "Hands free" operation where you can do almost anything using only your feet. I take your point though. For gigging I would probably still use my Kemper and it's Remote foot switch. Ultimate sturdy tank build quality!

    There are many reasons to find this more that somewhat infuriating. For example, the piece he plays at the beginning doesn’t have enough notes played within to qualify him as a good guitar player. I would also say the same as the - wait. Did he change his shirt? Regardless, the fact t that he cannot play all of his guitars at the same time exposes the dilemma we are all in. We imagine we have extra arms, hands, and fingers plus another head and two more ears which we can use for the new guitar we think we need. Now with Headrush and the like, we have a bigger problem with the idea that playing many cabs, heads, combos, and IRs from every possible hole in the earth at the same time will make us more likeable and make the opposite sex (or same or neither) proposition us to fertilize their free range eggs.
