HeadRush Prime Multi-FX Guitar Pedal with Amp Modeler and Vocal Processor

Onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth options allow you to stream audio directly to your pedal from HeadRush Cloud for expanded tonal options or simply to jam and practice to your favorite tracks, and Prime is loaded with professional I/O, including a stereo FX loop, MIDI I/O, outputs for sending signals from the integrated expression pedal, microphone input, reamping, and USB connections for when wireless is not needed or available, just to name a few. 12 footswitches with customizable RGB indicators and OLED scribble strip displays combine with the bright, high-resolution 7 touchscreen for easy operation in any environment, and the steel chassis is durable enough to withstand heavy touring or daily studio use.

Intuitive Touchscreen Display

The heart of the HeadRush Prime is the 7-inch touch display and a musician-centric, intuitive user interface—literally touch, swipe, or drag-and-drop to instantly create and edit Guitar, Bass, and Vocal rigs with amazing speed and accuracy. The large display also gives clear feedback when performing live, especially when tweaking tones using the expression pedal in Hands-Free Mode. Everything about the HeadRush Prime is designed to make it simple, fast, and fun to jump right in and create amazing sounding rigs in seconds.

Complete Library of Guitar/Vocal FX, Amp Clones, IR, and More

The HeadRush Prime includes an ever-expanding library of onboard guitar FX, amp, cab and microphone emulations, amp clones, impulse responses as well as a full suite of vocal FX, including the industry-standard Antares Auto-Tune. These are premium emulations of the most cherished guitar and studio gear with unprecedented accuracy and jaw-dropping natural dynamic response. This library is expanded on a regular basis via firmware updates (available via onboard Wi-Fi connection, or USB connection to Mac and PC) that add new features based on user requests and feedback.

The Easiest Amp and Pedal Cloner

The HeadRush Prime features proprietary next-generation cloning technology, enabling you to greatly expand your onboard amp and FX library using real gear. The HeadRush Amp Cloner precisely captures the sound, dynamics, and most importantly, feel of your favorite boutique, vintage, and modern amps, pre-amps, distortion pedals, overdrive pedals, and fuzz pedals.

Using the HeadRush Amp Cloner is as simple as connecting your target device to the HeadRush Prime and following the easy directions shown on the 7-inch touchscreen. After the cloning process is complete, you can make flexible adjustments, such as removing the speaker cabinet sound from an amplifier clone, so that you can use your clone with different cabinet models or impulse responses.

HeadRush Cloud Presets and IR Tonal Expansion

The HeadRush Prime features an onboard Wi-Fi connection that can connect directly to the all new HeadRush Cloud via a local Wi-Fi network. The HeadRush Cloud is a free service for all HeadRush users where they can browse, demo, and download exclusive rigs and clones created by the entire HeadRush community, including featured artists.

Out of the box, the HeadRush Prime comes with over 300 perfectly captured impulse responses. These were meticulously created in a studio located in England with some of the most historic guitar cabs from Marshall, Fender, Vox, Orange, and more. It’s also simple to load your own third-party IRs via drag-and-drop when connected by USB or directly from Dropbox via the Prime’s built-in Wi-Fi. The HeadRush Prime has virtually unlimited storage for IRs with 1024 and 2048 sample lengths.

Learn Songs and Solos Faster

The HeadRush Prime is the world s first FX processor with the ability to load songs directly from Dropbox over Wi-Fi for practice or to learn songs faster. Once a song is loaded, you can loop and slow down tricky sections as well as change the pitch up or down in semitones to quickly learn songs in new keys. The Prime can also connect and play audio from any Bluetooth-enabled mobile device, which opens you up to using many more streaming and digital lesson services.

Convenient Pedal Modes and Hands-Free Editing

Navigating between different pedal modes has never been easier. Switch between Stomp Mode, Rig Mode, Hybrid Mode, Setlist Mode, or Song Mode on the fly. Just hold down the top-right footswitch to quickly jump between modes. Using the hands-free edit mode, you can adjust any parameter without having to bend over. Hold the footswitch assigned to the model that you want to adjust, select the parameter, and use the onboard expression pedal to fine-tune your settings.

Looper and MIDI Sync Functions

The HeadRush Prime features an onboard looper that you can use to layer parts during performances or use as a songwriting tool when inspiration strikes. Each loop has a maximum length of 5 minutes and can hold up to a whopping 20 minutes of layered audio at a time.

When you’re finished, you can save your loops as .WAV files and export them to your Mac/PC via USB Transfer Mode for sharing with the world. You can also import .WAV files to use the looper as a backing track player, and you can easily sync the looper to external MIDI devices like drum machines.

Gapless Preset Switching with Reverb/Delay Tail Spillover

The HeadRush Prime s multi-core processor delivers advanced gapless preset switching utilizing reverb/delay tail spillover, which means that the tails for any reverb or delay effects in your rig can be configured to continue to ring out when changing presets or turning the reverb and delay effects off within the rig itself. When the preset is changed there is no break in the reverb and/or delay signal, making your on-the-fly changes sound fluid and seamless, just like a professional studio recording.

Built-In USB Audio Interface for Recording and Reamping

The HeadRush Prime s USB connection opens up the world of recording or reamping directly to a computer. When the HeadRush Prime is connected to your computer, you can select and use the HeadRush Prime as a 24-bit, 96 kHz audio interface.

When choosing the reamp option you can add the tone coloration of an amp to a pre-recorded audio signal—in this case, sending audio from your DAW through the HeadRush Pedalboard and then recording it back into your DAW. Recording professionals around the world know that reamping saves valuable time in the studio, and the HeadRush Prime makes it easier than ever.
