@Taylor Danley Really interested in this pedal you do a great job on showcasing the features however I'm really interested on what are you running this pedal through and into is there an amp that you're running the headrush into and then into the Mesa that the pedal is sitting on? Or is that just to hold the pedal up? Are you just running this Headrush XLR out into an audio interface into DAW and using Studio monitors?
Not sure why we're not mentioning there are more block spaces to run more effects in line,great tool. Very informative I've had my head rush for 4 years and would not trade it for anything, playing live with it and in Church.
We're getting to a point where you really can't go wrong. FM3, Helix, Headrush, etc etc...At the base level any one of these should sound good enough and have features to cater to any modern guitar player's needs. It really is a great time for gear.
that actually sounds like the lead channel on the xxx!!!!! wowwowow I don't remember them headrush sounding that good? love it! and thank you for another serenade LOL!
This might be the most do-it-all effects/modeler I've seen. I didn't even know about the "clone" feature at first, but it seems to work really well, at least from the one example I heard. To me, that absolutely makes it a viable replacement for the Kemper as well as the Helix.
I have a quad cortex and I love it. And it’s gotten me interested in multi effects units. If I can afford to get something new I’d probably get this or the Helix. I’ve heard really good things about the helix. But this seems awesome too
Actually, Digitech produced the iPB-10, over 10 years ago. It uses an iPad and make all the other interfaces look like toys. Large, visible pedal on screen that link to the foot switches. It’s only now that other companies are finally coming round to producing something that looks similar. As far as amps, IRS, and other functions, of course, the iPB-10 is from 10 years ago and is not as good. But they had the right idea first.
Personally i think the auto tune feature is kind of wild and unexpected and should add great value to the unit. If I was a gigging musician, that would be a major selling point.
20:47 "This price is ultra-competitive for what this modeler does". I feel like the message is the opposite. The price may not be very competitive. The segment is ;)
@@TaylorDanley I do. And I agree by modern standards Kemper is overpriced for what it does. But Headrush, even if its price is fair in itself, still has to achieve the following, which is already there for big boys. It is flying over Helix LT and FM3, which are, if not (most probably not) superior, provide "peace of mind" factor. Or $400 over it will give you FM9. And there is a Tonex pedal, targeting those who want only capturing without extras. Not like I don't wont Prime to succeed, just not sure it will be a homerun product for Headrush.
Not competitive given what you are not getting- no desktop editor. Easily get a FM9 over this- all day, every day. It has a glorious desktop editor and better tones and effects.
I love digital pitch shifting!! I only have one guitar and if I suddenly wanna play something detuned or even just half a step down it's just there. I reallllllly like it
This right here is exactly why we need to dig further at NAMM to see what's next. This is so close! It may very well be the perfect modeller or at least the closest anyone has got but what does Line6 and Kemper have in store? I'm confident it's something... time to find out! Can't wait to make videos from the show floor, especially with an SM58 in hand to get real audio
They advertised "gapless switching". Technically, there's no gap in the sound. Just varying levels of delay. That's a dealbreaker for me. If they can get that sorted, this unit is fairly interesting.
@@jfo3000 In this demo, there were some big delays between the presses and the actual sound change. That said, they seem to have ironed it out with the firmware and now it behaves more like an analog rig. I got one and gave it a try. Sent it back, but not because of the preset switching.
I used headrush products exclusively for the last 3 years. I drank the Kool-Aid on the Prime and bought one brand new. It just isn't what I thought it would be. You can get better tones out of much cheaper products imo. Feels a little goofy that this product is being re-pushed now. I do love the competition in the modeler market though. Competition drives Innovation so hopefully they can improve on their next design.
Very good device. I've been tinkering with it for five months now. The guitar effects are great, nothing more could be desired. Vocal effects are hard for me to match. But there are no complaints about the vocal effects either. The biggest disappointment is the practice tool, it loads files slowly, it is impossible to move quickly through the list of backing tracks. Another problem with Practice Tool - it does not remember the settings, every time it is turned on it returns to the default settings. Practice Tool - is not linked to rigs, but it should be possible for each of your programmed rigs to be able to connect a specific backing track. It seems to me that the developers of Headrush Prime did not understand, did not imagine exactly the user who needs advanced functions. For a guitarist, the device is very good. For guitarist and vocalist - also very useful. Maybe Headrush Prime will encourage other guitar modeler manufacturers to make devices with a full channel for vocals and a normal backing track player in one body.
I mean, the amp/pedal capture tech is certainly cool but unless you have a heavily modified or specially crafted amp/pedal made JUST for you, it seems kinda silly since pretty much any major amp/pedal in the world that most people use is already available digitally ad nauseam.
This is true, but remember nothing about marketing or consumer behavior is rational. Everyone wants the cloning or capturing features because it's fun and at the end of the day, these are toys for adults.
This thing is massive looking! I really like the UI, but I feel that the tones sounded a bit boxy and lacking the real high end sparkle that my quad cortex is able to deliver.
I think it’s sounds really good. I’m guessing the revalver amps is referring to the actual Peavey Revalver software since they’re using the actual Peavey model names. Sorry a little slow this evening. Lol
dude we made IRs from your isolated tones and theyre killer...even bringing string newness back. I put on my emergency-emergency wound strings on, loaded the 'Danley Satan IR' and there we go, bright as a nun's butt.
For 1300 bucks I expected it to sound WAAAAAAY better. Sounds so digital it's crazy. All the knobs , bells and whistles don't mean anything if it doesn't sound better than the rest of the pedals it there. I'll stick to line 6
These actually look super cool, but I have a feeling that companies like line 6 and fractal will be releasing new multi pedals with amp clone software soon too. Maybe I’ll just wait for those because I love my stomp and fractal stuff is the best.
Questions about pitch shifting aren't surprising at all in metal context. Most of us are bedroom guitarists wanting to relax while playing with our favorite bands after coming home from our daily jobs. The downtunings are crazy in metal world. Typical established metal band started in standard E in the 80s and gradually down-tuned over the years. Some just one step down, others 3 steps, etc. Constant re-tuning is time expensive and messes-up with intonation and string tension. Buying 5 guitars for just to be able to play a few favorite songs is stupid and expensive. For me the best solution is to have one or two good guitars for each tuning scheme (standard, drop, etc. ) and use reliable pitch-shifting.
The latency between rigs is so slight. In a full band mix, probably wouldn’t notice it. Decision made, getting one after Xmas. Waiting for GC gift cards! Haha
are you running that into that Mesa Boogie? or to some direct in to a compter ? that the one thing im, tryin to sort out before taking a dive into this.
If there was 0% lag or latency for any feature (and it had those extra inputs and outputs) then this would dominate imo. Perhaps the updates to it will fix that. Nice review 👍🏽
I'd like to see a demo on reamp feature. No one on you tube has covered that yet with prime. The reamp feature never worked for me on the headrush pedalboard in pro tools.
Between this $1,300 unit and the $400 Tonex, I'm still going with the Tonex any day of the week. This is neat, but still not worth that insane price tag.
no fx and I'm seeing reviews that the Tonex pedal has latency issues(I'm using the software in amplitube 5 and it's fine). I think in a year or so "tonex pro" or something will come out It will have all the bells/whistles and a similar price tag to this
They're not the same thing at all. ToneX does one specific thing, this is a multi effects board that processes guitar, bass and vocals. If you were going to build a board around the ToneX pedal and buy comparable effects, it would be significantly more expensive.
@@poison7512 It's cheaper(especially if you go used on the core there's a ton of them around 550) however as was said that won't do as much as this and you don't get the cloning feature. This thing is interesting but I'd have to experience it in person. I haven't tried the Tonex pedal but I'm hearing there are latency issues. Some of the software models are very good
This thing is a Massive Beast! I said goodbye to my MX5, and hello to my Headrush prime. The possibilities are endless. And of course, this is one of the best on the market. A little expensive, but it's worth the price tag.
Great video! In terms of just the cloning feature, how do you feel it does (in terms of getting close as possible to the amp being cloned) compared to other amp cloning tech out there?
Thank you! It's pretty good. The preset EQ is a nice touch, and when dialing in EQ on clones, it definitely makes a difference. I don't think it's insanely accurate, but I also think it's probably going to get tweaked since it's such a new product. Just a hunch. I DO have a video comparing TONEX, Quad Cortex and Primes cloning/capturing feature coming soon.
I watched a lot of these Headrush Prime videos and all are showing the same routing order. I'm just kind of curious about the direction of the chain. Is there any way that the setup can be changed the other way around? Possibly a dive in the settings and just simply changing it there? I mean from below going up instead of the "in" from the top left going down to the "out". I'm just used to the fact that the placement order of my physical pedals that I'm seeing right now is placed from my right going to left which is also indicated universally on all of the individual pedals on earth.
Really cool overview, but i really don't understand why you have to talk about poutine at 18:15, i sure love to eat cheesecurds, fries and gravy, but that was off-subject.
If it wasn't so big in size I'd have considered it but the size is a huge big no for me. Nevertheless, great review with detailed information relevant to the item under scrutiny.
@@TaylorDanley a must-see... Each one is over 5 hours (15+ hours in total) They are incredible... Maybe a review someday to get you into the horror realm like you wanted to do when you first started the channel? 🤘
Some of the folks slamming the ones who want a software editor are being disrespectful and not taking into consideration the studio users. I used to use an eleven rack as the heart of my studio and thought the editor was just fine. Been waiting for something like this from headrush. However, this is useless to me as a studio user with no editor. It is a floor unit which is too big to put on my desk. I would have to constantly be leaning over to program it and control it as an interface. I am one of many that Headrush is ignoring as it's potential customer base. My MX-5 sits in the closet while I use my PODGO due to this issue.
Their models are still based on the original Eleven platform. I had an eleven rack and i still have a headrush gigboard. And yet i still play through real amps. Amazing isn't a word I'd use to describe headrush products. Once you take away all the bells and whistles, all you're left with is tone, and headrush is a solid okay in that regard.
@Manuel Aguilar i don't know. I've heard a few channels do clones (check out sonic drive studios.... that guy is a total pro and REALLY knows what he's doing), but it doesn't seem nearly as close as something like tonex, etc
Dude I think have that exact same Jackson Warrior. Neck through, emg 81/85, floyd, black... Oddly it's kind of a rare guitar, I rarely see this exact one around. In your opinion does the Headrush sound better than Helix?
Yeah man I love this guitar.. They are rare! I wouldn't say better. They do different things well. And until Helix has some sort of capture technology, Headrush will have that over them.
A great review but why the hell do almost everyone just shred some metal licks on these review videos? In my opinion it's not really helpful to get a complete overview of the sounds and presets of this unit. I don't like these "unmelodic" shreding personally but even if I would, I would like to know more sounds than just highgain...
Just got mine the other day and it sure as hell dont sound like yours.. I went to the Peavey revalver section and toyed around with it for a while and it still sounds sterile and flat , nothing like my tube amp recorded to my DAW..
Just got mine today, you can configure the out for both. I’m running my guitar chain into the effects loop of my actual amp/cab to play guitar and have the signal for the vocal chain to XLR out to my PA mixer.
Am I hearing that this has TWO instruments inputs? I Play Chapman NS Stick with a stereo out, and can process the bass strings independently of the melody strings (something I have been wanting to do forever).... THIS unit is capable of that? I have seen other units (Ampereo, NUeral DSP, etc) but this is full on, on the floor hardware (man its HUGE) :D
Wait... Bro, my english is crap, please help me: this delay on changing effects (16:00) still going on? Wtf in live concerts if inchange the clean of wasting love to drive I'll have delay?? Lol
I say wait until next week because next week a ‘game changing’ ‘groundbreaking’ fx unit will be released which will make this one look out of date by a week or so.
There are no stupid questions, but I'm not sure exactly what you mean. You can hook it up to your computer to transfer files like IR's and presets or songs for the player, but I don't think it really goes beyond that. The amp cloning is all done with the unit itself.

Awesome 👌
so does this mean they probably stopped updating the original Eleven rack i have?
I much prefer the Quad Cortex form factor. Since I don't personally need much effects in my rig, the Tonex pedal is just perfect for me.
Just AMP + CAB and already half of the CPU used gets me worried ... not really a Helix killer

please advise which one should i buy from Ampero 2stage and Headrush Core for metal tone

You wish 😂
Are you running this directly into a cabinet?
No the cab is just acting as a stand
Some of the folks slamming the ones who want a software editor are being disrespectful and not taking into consideration the studio users. I used to use an eleven rack as the heart of my studio and thought the editor was just fine. Been waiting for something like this from headrush. However, this is useless to me as a studio user with no editor. It is a floor unit which is too big to put on my desk. I would have to constantly be leaning over to program it and control it as an interface. I am one of many that Headrush is ignoring as it's potential customer base. My MX-5 sits in the closet while I use my PODGO due to this issue.
I think it could use an editor big time. I mean, just the size of the unit alone justifies it. You're definitely not putting this thing on your desk!
I though you don't need the cab IR when using an actual cab...
18:36 avantgarde black metal
Is there any other kind of black metal?
Anyone used these and QuadCortex? Have preferences between them??
If you could cram this into the Quad Cortexes shell, that's the winner.
Their models are still based on the original Eleven platform. I had an eleven rack and i still have a headrush gigboard. And yet i still play through real amps.
Amazing isn't a word I'd use to describe headrush products. Once you take away all the bells and whistles, all you're left with is tone, and headrush is a solid okay in that regard.
Will the amp clone feature be good enough to take headrush beyond the okay sound of their stock amp models?
@Manuel Aguilar i don't know. I've heard a few channels do clones (check out sonic drive studios.... that guy is a total pro and REALLY knows what he's doing), but it doesn't seem nearly as close as something like tonex, etc
yep
Only the reference amps circuit value measurements are the same from the 11 rack days. The modelling is completely redone.
Dude I think have that exact same Jackson Warrior. Neck through, emg 81/85, floyd, black... Oddly it's kind of a rare guitar, I rarely see this exact one around. In your opinion does the Headrush sound better than Helix?
Yeah man I love this guitar.. They are rare! I wouldn't say better. They do different things well. And until Helix has some sort of capture technology, Headrush will have that over them.
A great review but why the hell do almost everyone just shred some metal licks on these review videos?
In my opinion it's not really helpful to get a complete overview of the sounds and presets of this unit.
I don't like these "unmelodic" shreding personally but even if I would, I would like to know more sounds than just highgain...
Should have focused on a PC editor instead of auto tune
I mean, not wrong.
Why when you have a 7 inch screen built in and it a computer anyway ???
@Brian Simons because its massive. Put it on a table and it's fine but you better have a helluva table.... and because it's 2023..
THIS.
I disagree, for singer/players this is quite unique
my question is, where can i get this shirt?
Not sure which one you're talking about, but BOTH are from Draculabyte!
12:05 Chelsea grin's forever bloom?
Possibly? Unintentional.
DO HEADRUSH PRIME do a processor for bass guitar
Just got mine the other day and it sure as hell dont sound like yours.. I went to the Peavey revalver section and toyed around with it for a while and it still sounds sterile and flat , nothing like my tube amp recorded to my DAW..
Gapless switching usually refers to the spillover of reverb and delay.
Nah that's trails. Gapless means there no gap in audio when switching.
What is that guitar your playing????
Does the vocal signal use the same out as the guitar signal? Or can you send separate signals, like guitar to cab and vocals to front of house?
Just got mine today, you can configure the out for both.
I’m running my guitar chain into the effects loop of my actual amp/cab to play guitar and have the signal for the vocal chain to XLR out to my PA mixer.
@@jimmytriezenberg7428 Nice!
would this be a helix killer this thing has so many cool options including Bluetooth and wifi and so many more options
Am I hearing that this has TWO instruments inputs?
I Play Chapman NS Stick with a stereo out, and can process the bass strings independently of the melody strings (something I have been wanting to do forever).... THIS unit is capable of that? I have seen other units (Ampereo, NUeral DSP, etc) but this is full on, on the floor hardware (man its HUGE) :D
Technically it's a combo jack and 1/4" but if you can make that work for 2 instruments, then yes!
@@TaylorDanley yeah I guess is that you can do it as long as you pan hard right and hard left on those two input channels. Much like the Ampero works
Kemper quality?
nope
it might still be switch on release rather than on down click…. maybe there’s a setting?
There was is with scenes function now. Also in 2.6 firmware for previous boards.
Wait... Bro, my english is crap, please help me: this delay on changing effects (16:00) still going on? Wtf in live concerts if inchange the clean of wasting love to drive I'll have delay?? Lol
I say wait until next week because next week a ‘game changing’ ‘groundbreaking’ fx unit will be released which will make this one look out of date by a week or so.
It never ends. The curse of being a musician.
Hey stupid question but if you hook it up to a pc can you ampclone amp sims?
There are no stupid questions, but I'm not sure exactly what you mean. You can hook it up to your computer to transfer files like IR's and presets or songs for the player, but I don't think it really goes beyond that. The amp cloning is all done with the unit itself.
@@TaylorDanley no, I meant cloning stuff like neural dsp's, STL tones etc?
@ Oh I understand, I’m sure you could, I’ve done it with the quad cortex… not sure why it wouldn’t work here too!
@@TaylorDanley haaaa that's something cool for people with only a couple of real heads to clone :)
One of the guys on my group has cloned amplitude amps with a lot of success
Close your eyes and he sounds a lot like Mitch from Sweetwater.
