Yes! That band mode is what I have been looking for. A loop that you can use for improve and soloing and then have the different parts on 2,3,4 for song changes like bridge, varied verse, bridge, etc...
The looper built into the Quad Cortex is also called the Looper X. Maybe Neural could take some notes for their next looper update. This kind of 4-track looping flexibility would be awesome on the QC. They even have the right number of buttons. 😉
I've been using the Looperboard for the past 2 years for all my solo gigs. FINALLY! It looks like HeadRush has stepped up its game and teamed up with people who really can give solid design input! Just the ergonomics of the switching makes it worth it for me -- I'l most likely get one real soon!
It's funny, alot of people who kind of slept on the Headrush Prime are singing it's praises now. Headrush products offer so much value and are good durable products.
I could say that the Headrush Looperboard is the better one! I have experience with both of them. The new Sheeran X has a bad midi substitution. And the loop recording is inexplicably altered and distorted. I couldn't fix this even with time correction turned off. Conclusion: Unusable!
Oooaah Ed Sheeran you absolute bloody legend I bought one of these cause I'm terrible with technology but wanted to record some music I've had it about a week and its just dawned on me ive made a piece of music and it's recorded and saved and you've just solved all my problems with this brilliant little machine you are a absolute legend thank you thank you thank you for making this I'm absolutely stoked 👏👍👊🤘🤙🙏✌️✨️💫✨️💫✨️🌞
That's awesome that there are useable sounds for guitar, bass, and vocals built into the device. You can just set the looper up stand alone with your instruments and be ready to jam. How cool is that!
I appreciate the routing options. I have done live looping with a drummer and it was essential to be able to send a “loop only” mix to his in-ears, otherwise, once I start loudly soloing, he would lose the sync with the loop. I don’t think I would ever go this crazy on a looper though, as it is not a primary tool in my music.
Great product. Awesome job by Pete in final jam loop. And great job by team that edited video. To everyone at Andertons, thank you this video put me in a fantastic mood. Cheers!
As a current HR looperboard owner, I can attest that the company (HR) did not stand behind their existing customer base at all with the previous hardware version. It is clear that since in hindsight that they had moved on to this version of the product and possibly could not reveal this to their existing client base at the time. They have been radio silent on their own forum about the looperboard. Zero response to customer questions and concerns. They did 1 major firmware update that did improve the looperboard functionality and aesthetics to some degree. However, it was laden with bugs and there were no incremental releases after to fix....anything. Midi functionality is sparse, poorly implemented, and in some areas completely broken . I was forced to move on to another product which I am not entirely happy with either. But at least they believe in their own product, and listen to what the customer base has to say, They are actively engaged in the improvement of the product's core and functionality. The looperboard is now a $900 paperweight that rarely ever comes out of its handy $200 suitcase. I don't care if this thing could make me breakfast, HR lost my respect, and a customer. Cheers!
Thank you Pete and Cap for the walk-through. Just got my Looper X and if not for your detailed review I would still be scratching my head on some of the settings. Thanks again!!
Caveat to this message: I am not a professional looping artist nor professional guitar player. I am an intermediate level enthusiast that enjoys looping and gears as a way to practice creativity in music given lack of time to play in a band. With that said, I am the owner of a Boss RC 600 and just purchased the Sheeran Looper X. Here’s a few first impressions compared to RC 600 after playing for a few days with my new loop station: Benefit #1 - The main benefit in my view is the absolute ease of use at all levels. After seeing this video I was able to loop on the get go and use features I had never used on RC 600. Extremely intuitive. The base workflow is very easy and minimizes timing errors too. Benefit #2- Ability to route and adjust levels all outputs: IMHO it is absolutely necessary to get loop decent quality. This is something the RC 600 falls short on and requires midi programming and an external unit to send midi messages. Fantastic to route outputs to a mixer and adjust on the fly. Benefit #3 super high build quality. The pedals are outstanding and extremely solid. The video display is gorgeous and something a modern unit must have. The RC 600 immediately looks like something of the past, despite quite honestly you can do a whole lot with the boss unit at the price of not necessarily being too easy to use, given a limited display with suboptimal menu navigation abilities The looper X main downside is price. A fair price point should be on the 600-800 € range. I believe their target is professional live looping artists but price will limit adoption. The unit exceeds my abilities and probably not justified given my skills, but others at my same skills level will likely choose not to upgrade. A second downside is number of tracks: Would Headrush consider programming the unit in a way that more track could be used (ie 6-8)? Huge shout out to Andertons for a great video, watched several times and very helpful to get started and got me excited for Looper X! cheers
Much as I love the interface and design of this, £1200 quid for what is ultimately a basic four track looper is something only ed Sheeran could afford! I''d recommend the trio+ with the FS3X control pedal. It's a tenth of the price and you can pretty much do all of this stuff, plus it will generate bass and drums from a guitar track, and supports entire songs with multi parts, transitions, breaks and tempo/style changes with limitless looping. Amazing bit of kit
But if this does all your effects well for vocal and guitar as well as harmonies it could be amazing. I can’t wait to see if the harmonies are actually good.
Don't get me wrong if I was minted I'd have this in a heartbeat. But Aside from the built in effects I'm a bit confused about the "tons" of things this does that the trio and the FS3X doesn't. I think absolutely this is a better live tool for a solo artist (i.e. Ed) for sure, and way more user friendly, but when you break ot down, its a still a very simple looper pedal for the price of a PC. In comparison my trio was 100 quid from reverb. Just pointing out the law of diminishing returns with this
@@adcharz7105nah, I disagree, maybe for just a guitarplayer it’s just another looper. But for a performer, this makes all of the difference: ed pointed it out in the video he made: as someone like him, you need multiple channels. You need a separate channel for percussion, one for bass, one for synths/guitar, one for vox, panning for stereo image, etc etc… I think it’s way above a trio+ Maybe when comparing to the EHX looper…
One thing i miss from the Rc300 is the big buttons. When I'm at home not wearing shoes i constantly miss the switches. Really like the menus and ease of use options of this
Yeah I got the rc300 too and find the buttons too small too. I've put some white felt strips on them to see them better in darker stage settings, but still. Wish they would've used the pedals from the rc30. What I really miss though is an indicator where I'm at in the loop. The Sheeran looper is a beast, but the price, damn..
I had the pleasure of seeing Ed live before he filled stadiums in a studio with maybe 100 other people in total (and we even had a chat and a beer afterwards). His musical (and looping) skills are absolutely mental; I was convinced at the time that he's going to become a big star and he did. I honestly have no idea how he was able to perform back then without those latest advancements in gear, but he did. This is a breathtaking product for the rest of us who will never make it that far... 😅
you use rec\dub\play mode to get nice transitions between loop end and loop start - aka recording the "tail". one shot mode means a loop stops after being played once. decay is the "fadeout time" setting of the above.
FINALLY! I just had bought the Singular Sound Aeros and sent it back within a day. Knew it was not for me instantly. I come from my current looper the Boss RC50 which I had since it's release and never found one better overall. The layout and big spaced out footswitches were a big feature. Just snagged this one from a local sop and can't wait for it to arrive.
What did you not like about the Aeros? I just ordered one along with the MIDI Maestro. The Looper X has 4 tracks with pretty much infinite loops. The Aeros (in 6x6 mode) has 6 tracks with pretty much infinite loops, but you have 6 of these which they refer to as parts so it's a like having 6 individual, 6 track Looper X's. With MIDI Maestro you can customize the way you control it and could copy the workflow of Looper X if you so desired. The Aeros has the most tracks/parts of any looper as far as I know. I'm coming from an RC600 (which I'll hang onto for now in case I'm wrong about Aeros/Looper X). Personally, I think I'd prefer the Looper X over the RC600. Many people feel the RC600 is the best, but I've spent so much time with my head in menus, I just prefer playing vs. being some technical expert reading manuals and deep diving menus. The Looper X is intuitive and more than enough for most people, and the ability to see the waveforms is a plus over the RC600. Looper X simply works and Syncs the way you'd expect. Aeros seems to be similar in that regard. I don't want to have to worry about Quantize, Tempo Sync, S-Track Chg, Loop length Free etc. within the RC600. The go and change it on every track, then try to remember what I've done. The Aeros and Looper X make it simple. I may buy the Looper X too and then see what works best for my workflow. If I do, I'll try to make RUclips video explain the Pros/Cons of each of these 3 loopers. Bottom line though is I expect they are all very good, it's just a matter of your desired workflow. I'm hoping to have settled on one within the next few weeks.
I rarely need 4 tracks. Been using the RC50 with 3 tracks just fine for years. The areos is also Waaaay to small a footprint for live us IME and just didn't make sense to my brain or needs. I'm sure its amazing for the right person. @@davidking7363
Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to connect it to a tablet so you can watch one screen (tracks, for example) on the board and another (say levels) on the tablet?
I'm primarily interested in the free mode because I like making ambient loops that converge and spread over time because the loops are different lengths. The only other way I've found to do this is to build a dedicated looper pedalboard with a bunch of separate looper pedals and all the extra wiring, adapters, cables, etc. that accompanies that.
Tbh they are very similar as far as I can see (I use the RC600). Sure some differences here and there, biggest one is two channels less on the Sheeran one. But all the modes are in the Rc600 as well, it’s just a matter of settings. I just don’t see any reason to switch to the Sheeran one tbh
Mr Danish Pete and the Boss are well worth a watch a second time around…even a third … Just can’t go wrong with any of their live. Real time reviews…⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🏴
Just got mine and it’s truly incredible . Sorry people get all bogged down in hating on stuff . It is truly an astonishing piece of kit . Price barrier is steep but it’s truly a piece of pro gear and that stuff doesn’t come cheap these days , if it ever did . Anyhow it’s set the bar , none of the other stuff even comes close . I understand getting hung up on a brand and a familiar workflow but you really can set this joker up to work any way you want and the ui and the switching and output flexibility just beats everyone else’s ass . It’s fun trolling stuff yr never gonna buy anyway , I guess but I think this is the only logical ‘optimum’ choice in the market . I am appreciative and in awe of the leap this thing makes beyond the boss flagship . No comparison for quality and ease of use . I am stoked .
Great device, but: No remote control via wireless IPad app or notebook (like eventide h9..)? Without an external editor on a stand you have to crawl down every time to tweak it or put it on a table like with all those other loopers I had and found annoying to change the ergonomical workspace for programming them. At that pricetag Bluetooth would have been easy to change that as an addon to the great screen I have to bend down to or use binoculars while on stage - so far I don’t see it or am i wrong?
Would like to just say, this unit replicates the mentality of an old reel to reel, music becomes far more organic… more importantly Pete has his own flavour and stands alone as a master loopist, I’d rather admire Pete’s skills. Andertons is lucky to have him onboard.
hi ! is it possible to route a microphone to sing without loopint it. I mean : I would like to loop my guitare while i am singing with a microphone but I dont want this input to be looped. What is the setting in the audio routing page ? Thanks.
It was made in collaboration with Headrush (even has their name on the back). I'd steer clear - Headrush has left Looperboard users high and dry on their forums for months.
This is a riot. A foot stitch based unit being used and controlled on a desk. How about parts? 4 tracks but how would you switch to changes such as a chorus and then back? It’s got some great features but it’s a lot of money!
Just a suggestion for future videos: While deep diving and setting up, it makes sense to tap on the touch screen to navigate.... but with things like Loopers and floor modelers, it's MUCH more telling how easily you can start/stop, clear tracks, or change modes while STANDING and using a toe. "Stop All", undo a muffed primary layer, clear an overdub, and then clear all tracks for the next song are ESSENTIAL to smooth live looping performances. Those features were easy to set up on the Boomerang III and took a couple tweaks to the tap vs tap+hold on the Singular Sound Aeros to make smooth. Given Ed Sheeran's prolific Live Looping ability, I'm sure that these features were front of mind during development, but it's amazing how many pedal manufacturers expect you to bend down to tweak, tap, or change their devices during a live show. (which means the product spent more time on the table during development than on the floor which is fine for some but would be deal breaker on a floor looper.) ☮❤🎶
Had they done that, it would have shown too many of the severe limitations of this unit. The point of this video was obviously not a review, but to heap praise upon it.
Ordered! Would be great to see a demo soon of a multi part song... verse, chorus, bridge, outro. Also, is there any way to have a drum fill or accent? (i currently have beat buddy and that's a nice feature). Also hoping that there's an onboard way to change the bpms of the drum loops you load in. Thanks!!!
Love the many xrl's for interfacing each individual track. Will definitely replace the Ditto+ with this. Does it have a master 1/4 inch output to imput into a speaker cab, or just MIDIs and XLR's?
Came here to say this. I didn’t watch the entire video, but I’d be really surprised if there’s anything this device can do, that can’t be done with Loopy Pro. Throw in a 79 dollar iRig Blue Board for your foot switches, and you’ve got everything!
For personal/small band use, does this eliminate the need for a mixer or audio interface? I'm new to audio equipment, so can this basically act as an all-in-one solution? I feel like I'm missing something. Either that, or this is the most utilitarian piece of equipment I've ever come across.
I was literally just looking about a year ago for a multi loop pedal like Ed's, something I could play cover songs with, having a different loop for a chorus or bridge or ending maybe instead of just 1 track looping over and over, I ended up getting the HD 500x because I needed a interface, this thing might go on my list for upgrading my HD down the road. I would love to see someone cover a song with different parts to see how this works
Ok this device seems gold. Questions: 1. is there an octaver, and if there is, does it work like Boss OC3 or Boss OC5 that if affect e.g. only the lower strings? 1. how are the vocal effects? does it gave e.g. pop music autotune?
I got mine today and love it!! One question though, I re-named each track but when I turned the looper off and on again the names go back to Track 1 etc. is there a way of saving the names permanently?
I wonder if Headrush will provide more enduring support for this than the Looperboard. The Looperboard was another high-priced pedal which was sold on the basis that it was firmware upgradable. All the marketing hype made much of how it was going to be continually updated. Meanwhile, Headrush releases one major update and then the product disappears beneath the waves. I can't have any confidence in the longevity of anything Headrush puts its name to. Just my opinion as a (disappointed) Looperboard owner.
I did not find how to assign an FX to an input (not to a track).... On the regular Headrush Looperboard, in FX, we have the option... Do you know how? Thanks!
My honest opinion: this is the Headrush Looperboard with Ed Sheerans name on it. They abandoned and quit updating it almost 2 years ago, which meant they only supported the unit for about 3 years. A $1200 looper and they only gave us 3 years of support. I don’t know why this board would be any different. I’d proceed with caution and find this whole situation pretty disgraceful.
I agree, totally cautious when it comes to their company, when sh*t hits the fan, don't expect any support from them at all, plus product lost all it's value and is buggy as hell
I have 2 Loopers. Boss Rc30 and RC300. There is one major problem with ALL loopers. They haven't connected them with a live App yet so you dont have to bend down every time you want to set something. How hard can it be to do one???
I went through all the comments and no one has asked if you can pan individual inputs left or right going in (recording). When I listen back to the demo loops on youtube it seems that all the audio is coming straight down the center. I have the Aeros Looper, with BB and MM and I have to run a line through an external mixer and into the Looper to pan say a guitar a little to the left or right.... I'm so hoping that this would allow for panning within the looper. Does anyone know whether or not this can be done? If so, it would be the ultimate looper system.
I just want to be able to send bass to the bass amp and guitar and everything else to the guitar amp. Does anybody know another way or device that does that too?
If there is an update on this to stop an individual track rather than just mute a track that would be even more awesome, still ordered one but that would make a massive easy upgrade.
I bought rc 600. Because it is 3 times lighter, smaller size, has 6 tracks, 2.33 times cheaper. It took me one week to set it up to my liking. Does not have touch screen. So have to learn stuffs via youtube and parameter guide. Can only use 4 fx at a time unlike x which can use 7 at a time. But its enough for me. But I am pissed off that I cannot assign different input fx banks to different tracks so that corresponding input bank is automatically activated when I play a certain track. I dont know if such functionality is available in other loopers. I would like insights from other looper users on this issue.
Check out Jarle Bernhoft live at Bauhaus from about 7 years ago to see a guy using a looping setup verrry nicely. Often with this kind of stuff I get bored waiting for the song to start while the player builds up endless parts over the same chord/progression. Nice bit of kit though, with a lot of features. Very spendy, and doesn't even come with the extra feet you'll need to operate it :-/
I don’t use a looper but I can see this being incredible for anyone that regularly performs with one!
I've got one , it's called a DAW. Buskers could use it, Buskers that have £1200 going spare ,that is;-)
Everything Pete creates is pure Gold. I have a Theorie to it. It’s a reflection of his great personality.
That used to be code for not attractive.
@@BeefNEggs057”great personality” I get it. Was not intended. 😂
He is just amazing.
As a live looping musician myself, this makes me drool. The foot switches look so solid!

@@DW-rz2mf dang really? Sucks to hear, think maybe they can fix in an update or is it doomed?
Well, the updates on Headrush were already underground on the Looperboard. After an update it was over. Customer inquiries were not answered.

But if this does all your effects well for vocal and guitar as well as harmonies it could be amazing. I can’t wait to see if the harmonies are actually good.
I like the Trio+ but you're exaggerating - it's 1/3 the price, not 1/10 (in the US at least), and there are tons of things it can't do that this can.

I'm hoping to have settled on one within the next few weeks.
I rarely need 4 tracks. Been using the RC50 with 3 tracks just fine for years. The areos is also Waaaay to small a footprint for live us IME and just didn't make sense to my brain or needs. I'm sure its amazing for the right person. @@davidking7363
Channel editors putting in that work. Good job 👏
Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to connect it to a tablet so you can watch one screen (tracks, for example) on the board and another (say levels) on the tablet?
I'm primarily interested in the free mode because I like making ambient loops that converge and spread over time because the loops are different lengths. The only other way I've found to do this is to build a dedicated looper pedalboard with a bunch of separate looper pedals and all the extra wiring, adapters, cables, etc. that accompanies that.
The Boomerang III can easily do that. You should check it out
That's an extremely impressive bit of kit! Good demo guys!
OMG😳😳😳 cannot wait to read some comparisons and comments vs Boss RC-600
Same
Tbh they are very similar as far as I can see (I use the RC600). Sure some differences here and there, biggest one is two channels less on the Sheeran one. But all the modes are in the Rc600 as well, it’s just a matter of settings.
I just don’t see any reason to switch to the Sheeran one tbh
Mr Danish Pete and the Boss are well worth a watch a second time around…even a third … Just can’t go wrong with any of their live. Real time reviews…⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🏴
Just got mine and it’s truly incredible .
Sorry people get all bogged down in hating on stuff .
It is truly an astonishing piece of kit . Price barrier is steep but it’s truly a piece of pro gear and that stuff doesn’t come cheap these days , if it ever did .
Anyhow it’s set the bar , none of the other stuff even comes close . I understand getting hung up on a brand and a familiar workflow but you really can set this joker up to work any way you want and the ui and the switching and output flexibility just beats everyone else’s ass .
It’s fun trolling stuff yr never gonna buy anyway , I guess but I think this is the only logical ‘optimum’ choice in the market .
I am appreciative and in awe of the leap this thing makes beyond the boss flagship .
No comparison for quality and ease of use .
I am stoked .
Wow!! it loops video too. How awesome is that!
Great device, but: No remote control via wireless IPad app or notebook (like eventide h9..)? Without an external editor on a stand you have to crawl down every time to tweak it or put it on a table like with all those other loopers I had and found annoying to change the ergonomical workspace for programming them. At that pricetag Bluetooth would have been easy to change that as an addon to the great screen I have to bend down to or use binoculars while on stage - so far I don’t see it or am i wrong?
The Funk track at the end of the video was class.
Would like to just say, this unit replicates the mentality of an old reel to reel, music becomes far more organic… more importantly Pete has his own flavour and stands alone as a master loopist, I’d rather admire Pete’s skills. Andertons is lucky to have him onboard.
This thing is a beast. I like the pedal and visual design. I love my Digitech Trio+ for simplicity, but with practice this would blow that away.
hi ! is it possible to route a microphone to sing without loopint it. I mean : I would like to loop my guitare while i am singing with a microphone but I dont want this input to be looped. What is the setting in the audio routing page ? Thanks.
What kind of synthesizer they use in the outro?
The Trio+ has drums built in but this does much more. awesome video guys!!!!
It's basically a Headrush Looperboard. The only, and truly useful upgrade it's the FootSwitch!
Totally
It was made in collaboration with Headrush (even has their name on the back). I'd steer clear - Headrush has left Looperboard users high and dry on their forums for months.
@@jonwhittington752 Unfortunately I know, they want us to buy this new one.
Headrush looperboard on sale!
Seems we all now know why Headrush stopped support to their Looperboard.
Hopefully this will reinvigorate them to get back to the Looperboard.
I would love to see a side by side comparison (features to cost) with an app like loopy pro thats already on my phone that i'm watching this video on.
This is a riot. A foot stitch based unit being used and controlled on a desk. How about parts? 4 tracks but how would you switch to changes such as a chorus and then back?
It’s got some great features but it’s a lot of money!
These two cats always have great chemistry and is so fun to watch.
I always enjoy the looper jams in the videos, so this will be a great tool for those going forward. 👍
The finger point on the first guitar loop 👌😎
The Sheeran Looper X can be used as a looper or as a roof to your house!
Just a suggestion for future videos: While deep diving and setting up, it makes sense to tap on the touch screen to navigate.... but with things like Loopers and floor modelers, it's MUCH more telling how easily you can start/stop, clear tracks, or change modes while STANDING and using a toe. "Stop All", undo a muffed primary layer, clear an overdub, and then clear all tracks for the next song are ESSENTIAL to smooth live looping performances. Those features were easy to set up on the Boomerang III and took a couple tweaks to the tap vs tap+hold on the Singular Sound Aeros to make smooth. Given Ed Sheeran's prolific Live Looping ability, I'm sure that these features were front of mind during development, but it's amazing how many pedal manufacturers expect you to bend down to tweak, tap, or change their devices during a live show. (which means the product spent more time on the table during development than on the floor which is fine for some but would be deal breaker on a floor looper.) ☮❤🎶
Agree, I use an RC505 at a high table height and a Midi controller on the floor.
I'm surprised at this level of dis-functionality.
Had they done that, it would have shown too many of the severe limitations of this unit. The point of this video was obviously not a review, but to heap praise upon it.
Ordered! Would be great to see a demo soon of a multi part song... verse, chorus, bridge, outro. Also, is there any way to have a drum fill or accent? (i currently have beat buddy and that's a nice feature). Also hoping that there's an onboard way to change the bpms of the drum loops you load in. Thanks!!!
I've had 3 different boss loopers and I would probably go for 505 mkii if I decided to upgrade.
Nice picture-in-picture editing job there!
Can it route a given track to a different amp (say i want the bass & drums to go in a bass amp and my guitar in my guitar amp)??
Love the jam in the end. 🎉
Love the many xrl's for interfacing each individual track. Will definitely replace the Ditto+ with this. Does it have a master 1/4 inch output to imput into a speaker cab, or just MIDIs and XLR's?
Or if you have an ipad, you can buy a 30 dollar app, that can do this and much more, with HQ effects . love the Loopy pro app to bits
Came here to say this. I didn’t watch the entire video, but I’d be really surprised if there’s anything this device can do, that can’t be done with Loopy Pro. Throw in a 79 dollar iRig Blue Board for your foot switches, and you’ve got everything!
I think you just saved me $1299. Gratitude!
Great show guys! Thank you! Blessings
When is the new version of this pedal b.looper will be
out please ? 😅😨😎🙌🙈🙉🙉
You two have way too much fun. I haven't gotten past the Ditto, but this makes me wish I had found one before my physical skills were so diminished.
I have recorded a 1 hr set list on track 1 , I can't figure out how to pause the loop, or can a loop that long be paused ?
Is it possible to set tempo by tapping on a pedal as can be done on my BOSS RC300? Rather than have to use the touch screen. Thanks.
For personal/small band use, does this eliminate the need for a mixer or audio interface?
I'm new to audio equipment, so can this basically act as an all-in-one solution?
I feel like I'm missing something. Either that, or this is the most utilitarian piece of equipment I've ever come across.
Is there a possibility to create a setlist and rearrange it for different shows - so make a separate loop for each song and then recall it?
Did you find out the answer? Is that possible?
Does it have an auto detect feature or do i need to just get it right frst time?
Can you output the 4 channels to different amps, say i want to send my guitar channel to a guitar amp and then drums and bass to the bass amp?
Can you have pre recorded loops that you can kick in like in a part “b” or or part “c” that would be different chords than the main loop?
I was literally just looking about a year ago for a multi loop pedal like Ed's, something I could play cover songs with, having a different loop for a chorus or bridge or ending maybe instead of just 1 track looping over and over, I ended up getting the HD 500x because I needed a interface, this thing might go on my list for upgrading my HD down the road. I would love to see someone cover a song with different parts to see how this works
Ok this device seems gold. Questions:
1. is there an octaver, and if there is, does it work like Boss OC3 or Boss OC5 that if affect e.g. only the lower strings?
1. how are the vocal effects? does it gave e.g. pop music autotune?
Dude, that line/phrasing at 2:12 is killer! 🤘🔥
I got mine today and love it!! One question though, I re-named each track but when I turned the looper off and on again the names go back to Track 1 etc. is there a way of saving the names permanently?
Setup.....Save Loop...I'd expect. Name it and you have a template.
Great jams! Looked like you were both having a great time!
I wonder if Headrush will provide more enduring support for this than the Looperboard. The Looperboard was another high-priced pedal which was sold on the basis that it was firmware upgradable. All the marketing hype made much of how it was going to be continually updated. Meanwhile, Headrush releases one major update and then the product disappears beneath the waves. I can't have any confidence in the longevity of anything Headrush puts its name to. Just my opinion as a (disappointed) Looperboard owner.
Does anyone know if you can record at 1/2 speed but play back at double speed such as on the Boomerang? (On the less expensive version)
I did not find how to assign an FX to an input (not to a track).... On the regular Headrush Looperboard, in FX, we have the option... Do you know how? Thanks!
Amazing video! I watched it in its entirety in 5 seconds and here's my comment!
Touch screen menu hell for the iPhone generations. It’s priced where I’d expect for that. It’s cool.
Just like the looperboard except smaller and different shape switches
Danish Pete Supremacy!!! That jam towards the end was Insaneee!!🤘😂
My honest opinion: this is the Headrush Looperboard with Ed Sheerans name on it. They abandoned and quit updating it almost 2 years ago, which meant they only supported the unit for about 3 years. A $1200 looper and they only gave us 3 years of support. I don’t know why this board would be any different. I’d proceed with caution and find this whole situation pretty disgraceful.
Exactly, fck em and will continue calling them out for it every single time I see this product being advertised
Ok damn, was so hyped about this, reading this is a bummer
I agree, totally cautious when it comes to their company, when sh*t hits the fan, don't expect any support from them at all, plus product lost all it's value and is buggy as hell
oh funky boys, that thing, gona revolutionise music, great vid boys
thanks for sharing, loopers arelso great for bringing back loops you have not used for a while.
Do you plug the bass and guitar directly in, or do they need to go through pedals first?
100% on board with a firmware update for the "GLOBAL AUDIO ROUTING" - Perfect initial feedback Peter and Team.
I have 2 Loopers. Boss Rc30 and RC300. There is one major problem with ALL loopers. They haven't connected them with a live App yet so you dont have to bend down every time you want to set something. How hard can it be to do one???
RC505 on the table, Controller (MC8) on the floor.
Can you have multiple outputs/mixes, between the 2 x XLR out, the 2 x Jack Outputs and the headphone output?
I went through all the comments and no one has asked if you can pan individual inputs left or right going in (recording). When I listen back to the demo loops on youtube it seems that all the audio is coming straight down the center. I have the Aeros Looper, with BB and MM and I have to run a line through an external mixer and into the Looper to pan say a guitar a little to the left or right.... I'm so hoping that this would allow for panning within the looper. Does anyone know whether or not this can be done? If so, it would be the ultimate looper system.
I just re-watched and it shows that you can indeed set the pan on the input tab! Sweeeet! :)
I just want to be able to send bass to the bass amp and guitar and everything else to the guitar amp. Does anybody know another way or device that does that too?
Can youuse into record whole songs and then sa e ande port them, i.e. 14 5 progression? Yhankx!
If there is an update on this to stop an individual track rather than just mute a track that would be even more awesome, still ordered one but that would make a massive easy upgrade.
Headrush and Ed Sheeran had a baby!?! I must be the Loop Pedal Nerd!🤣
Great video folks! Pete is a genius !!!
I bought rc 600. Because it is 3 times lighter, smaller size, has 6 tracks, 2.33 times cheaper. It took me one week to set it up to my liking. Does not have touch screen. So have to learn stuffs via youtube and parameter guide. Can only use 4 fx at a time unlike x which can use 7 at a time. But its enough for me. But I am pissed off that I cannot assign different input fx banks to different tracks so that corresponding input bank is automatically activated when I play a certain track. I dont know if such functionality is available in other loopers. I would like insights from other looper users on this issue.
Awesome review ❤
Any idea if you can run an aux send/return if you have specific pedals you’d like to run through before going into the loop.
hopefully, we can see a comparison between boss rc 600 and this one!
Check out Jarle Bernhoft live at Bauhaus from about 7 years ago to see a guy using a looping setup verrry nicely. Often with this kind of stuff I get bored waiting for the song to start while the player builds up endless parts over the same chord/progression. Nice bit of kit though, with a lot of features. Very spendy, and doesn't even come with the extra feet you'll need to operate it :-/
That final loop was EPIC!!
