HeadRush Core

Your perfect guitar and vocal sound is just a touch away!

With HeadRush Core, your perfect guitar and vocal sound is just a touch away. HeadRush Core has a huge library of realistic and responsive guitar effects, amps, cabs, and mic emulations, and offers virtually unlimited impulse response loading and the ability to capture the sound of your precious analog gear, thanks to "Smart Cloning" technology.

For singers looking for a vocal processor to complement, the Core offers a complete package of vocal effects, including the industry-standard Antares Auto- Tune®, as well as a looper that's among the best in its class.

All of this is backed by a sophisticated multi-core processor that makes for an incredibly powerful floorboard, with seamless switching between presets and a user-friendly 7-inch touch screen. Packaged in an amazingly rugged yet compact steel chassis, all of this offers massive inputs and outputs, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and USB audio.

A complete guitar and vocal rig is at your feet

The HeadRush Core includes an ever-growing library of sounds. These are premium emulations of the most highly regarded vintage, modern and boutique guitars with unprecedented fidelity and stunningly natural dynamics. It features factory settings compiled by renowned guitar sound designers ChopTonesTM, plus a range of great-sounding, user-friendly vocal effects, including Antares Auto-Tune®. This library is regularly updated with firmware updates (available via the built-in Wi-Fi connection or via a USB connection to your Mac/PC).

Capture the authentic sound of your own accessories!

The HeadRush Core features proprietary cloning technology that allows you to extensively expand your built-in amp and effects library with real accessories.

The HeadRush Amp Cloner accurately captures the tone, dynamics and most importantly the feel of your favorite amps, pre-amps, distortion, overdrive and even fuzz pedals. Cloning your accessories is extremely fast, with simple on-screen instructions to guide you through each step.

Intuitive touch interface with 7-inch touchscreen.

At the heart of the HeadRush Core is the 7-inch touchscreen. Touch, swipe and drag to create guitar, bass and vocal rigs with amazing speed and precision. The display gives you clear feedback during live performances, especially when fine-tuning the sound with an external expression pedal in "Hands-Free" mode.

Best-in-class looper and practice tools.

The HeadRush Core has an intuitive looper that can record loops up to 5 minutes long and a total of 20 minutes of overdub duration. You can save and recall loops and sync them to other accessories, such as drum machines, via MIDI.

Another feature is the ability to load songs directly from Dropbox over wifi, so you can rehearse songs faster. Once a song is loaded, you can loop and slow down difficult sections, as well as change the pitch in semitones to quickly learn songs in new keys. The Core can also play audio from any Bluetooth-enabled mobile device, opening up many more possibilities for streaming services and digital lessons.

Tour-ready hardware with all the ports you need!

With its rugged, tour-ready steel chassis and a full range of inputs and outputs, the HeadRush Core is the compact solution for any musician who wants to be ready for any performance situation. In addition to guitar and mic inputs, various 6.35mm and XLR connectors, and a headphone output, MIDI ports and wireless connectivity are among the features offered.

The Core also features a stereo FX Loop that lets you plug in pedals and other external accessories at any point in the signal chain. This FX Loop also allows you to connect traditional amplifiers via the four-cable method. The built-in USB audio interface gives you straightforward studio-quality recording and re-amping, directly to a DAW on a Mac or PC.
