Headrush Prime owner. I've tried them all... HR is the easiest UI learning curve, and it's best platform for getting good tones quickly. For users who don't need ALL the parameters and endless menu diving, this one gets you plugged in and making good noise faster than any other.
@@monizag That's gonna be subjective. AxeFX gear is definitely more pro-level. But HR is perfect for my needs... mostly jamming at home or friends houses. And not spending a lot of time tweaking and programming. I think it's the most plug-n-play of them all, but everything out now is SO GOOD!
The lack of a built in expression pedal is actually a bonus. Pedals break. Id rather not have to lose the whole unit if it breaks and have to send it in for repairs when I can just swap in an expression pedal that works.
Agreed! I did buy the headrush one though reluctantly due to price vs. say a mission pedal. But when it arrived and it was heavy and well built, I was impressed!
Some people have two different pedals, volume, wah, so makes sense not to have it on the unit, because come on, you will probably use your own stuff anyway
I will always give up the expression pedal for the size cut. I very rarely really need an expression pedal, so if I need one I'll just get a separate one that I plug in when I need it.
I ordered a core a few weeks ago. I have significant latency when recording into my DAW (cubase 12). It will only let me use the Headrush driver no other drivers or ASIO. I tried a few tricks but nothing helps. So I ended up ordering another Helix floor today. The HElix is the best modeler I have ever used. It sounds so damned good and has so many options.
Oh no. I’m looking into the Headrush but I’d need it to work properly with Cubase on my PC. Hey, were you using the audio out and into a audio interface or using the USB out or something? I’m hoping the latency issue can be avoided.
@@slangdoll I was using it as an interface. I hace a couple audio interfaces but I usually write and record in my bedroom instead of my basement setup so I use my gaming PC in there usually. Now I have my Helix hooked up to it. No latency that is notable fo sure.
Bro. Your comment is gold. Although. I will not be recording soon. Just wanted to ask still. If your not recording. Is the latency an issue in live use with revalver amps or switching scences i sold my hx stomp. So im curious and im startin to sing as well. Any help?
@@Benson.BereTV Thanks lol : ). I ended up trading the Prime for a new EMG pickup set and another I banez. To answer your question. You can switch between presets seemlessly. The only issue with noticable latency was with my DAW. The amps sound killer and I will say that I liked downloading captures. I downloaded a capture from a Driftwood wood Purple Nitemare. Just amazing. It is not garbage I just like making music and cannot layer tracks with latency.
@@poorbrokeguitarist so if we take off recording. Or probably with a different daw like Reaper. This would probably be better than stomp XL right? There the same price here in Germany. Gosh! EMG pickup prices are getting outa hand
I have the headrush gigboard, one of the things I like is that it is a very well built pedal, in the digital platform part it leaves me with some flavors; but it does its job for its price; The core really catches my attention, as always, good job Ryan, will your signature guitar be with Sterling?
Nice demo, you always get great tones out of stuff. I liked your playing samples. Are these different models than what comes in the original Headrush Pedalboard and Gigboard (sounds like it since you said it was the same software)? The Gigboard was like $500, so I don't get why this is twice as much. Sounds good but the extra switches and amp cloning are not enough to get me to give up my MX5. Which is great, because that thing sounds just as good for way less money.
Never mentioned - when you're trying adjust a parameter using your finger on the slider on the display and you can't quite get it where you want it...... just use the knob on the right.
The "GIGBoard" model had bad soldering joints and as a result, you couldn't update the unit. Anyone know if they fixed that? I bought the unit, but had to return it due to this. Apparently, it's a well known issue. I was very sad because I did like the platform of the Headrush items. Can't think about buying until they can take updates.
is it possible to have a sound on knob 1 .. a second on knob 2 and so on?.. so if you want an overdrive sound you can push knob 1..... so you don't have to push a knob several times to get the sound you want.
I liked the revalver suite from the past, but my fave was the Peavey JS which I think they don't use anymore. Is the XXX II the same amp as JS with a different name?
@@timwhite5562 Dolly the sheep. You would plug a cable from Dolly's bell into XLR, but if Dolly moved around a lot that would cause latency because then the cable would be longer and the sound from the bell would travel slower. Glad they solved it!
Hi. Between the Hotone II Stage and the Headrush Core, which one do you recommend based on your experience? I play Rock/Metal/Heavy Metal. I used to have to carry one of my boogie Mini/Dual/Triple head to every show but now I'd like a good sound in a compact pedalboard that I can carry in my backpack. I would also like to have some alternative sound output.
From what I'm seeing these two would be neck and neck if it wasn't for the amp cloning and vocal tech. I just purchased the headrush gigboard and I must say the tube amp feel is really good. I've also have the valeton gp200 which is made by the same company that makes Amparo. I think I'm going to return the gigboard and go with the core❤
I own both but selling the ampero stage. Both are great unit but I'm singer guitarist and ampero lacks dedicated vocal effects. More over, when I build parallel chains for vocal and guitar ampero reaches 100% CPUs while HR stays under 50%...
So, real talk man..... which one should I get? I was contemplating the Fender but these seem better overall. I'm a simple man, is the Core worth it? ..........asking for a metalhead friend
The amps and cabs from HEAD RUSH and REVALVER... Suucckkk ASSSS fizzy digital sounding and harsh... B U T... the clones and IRs you get from the Cloud.. are great.. stick to that..

FM3 sounds and feels like a real amp when you set up an amp and a cab. Headrush is still polishing 11R turd code from the early 2010’s
Is headrush prime the best multieffect so far? If so I want to buy

Damn right i agree with you buddy. Expression pedals is only 100$ish and build to last
Totally agree
Agreed! I did buy the headrush one though reluctantly due to price vs. say a mission pedal. But when it arrived and it was heavy and well built, I was impressed!
Totally. That's what steers me away from the Prime and the Helix. Plus Mission expression pedals are top notch so i'd rather go with that anyways.

They make their entire product line out of plastic and garbage where it counts most. That should tell you something.
Headrush needs to add a PC editor. I gave up my MX5 because of the lack of an editor, but I'll get one again if they make one.

Could you do a vid on how to o make the expression pedal actually work
Sounds great, I wish you would package up your demo songs and maybe get a different guest soloist on these gems 💎 😊
I liked the revalver suite from the past, but my fave was the Peavey JS which I think they don't use anymore. Is the XXX II the same amp as JS with a different name?
with the price difference might as well get the prime. the extra buttons plus the pedal is worth the extra money
Would this work for a synth?
Yes. You might need to attenuate the levels but it’ll work
Did they solve the absurd latency when using clones?
Yes they did fix that issue..
Clones of what?
