About this deal

Taking centre stage is the incredible four inch touch display, which shows your selected channel, as well as a visual representation of the effects models you're using. The custom-designed DSP system offers superb processing power, helping this box of wonders sound wholly authentic. In addition, there's a host of other features, including a premium built-in looper, FX loop, expression pedal, and full impulse response compatibility - all housed in one neat, compact unit. The possibilities are endless. For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs. In Advanced Mode, you can assign up to four parameters to each expression pedal (A and B). Moving the pedal will adjust all of its assigned parameters simultaneously. Using the toe switch will select the other expression pedal and leave the current pedal’s parameters active and at their maximum values.

The HeadRush MX5 comes preloaded with 270 factory presets covering a huge variety of genres and styles.

HeadRush MX5 Multi-Effects Processor Overview

The following system requirements are the minimum specifications required for using the HeadRush MX5 with your computer: The HeadRush MX5 is the newest and most streamlined multi-fx module from HeadRush! This article will answer the most frequently asked questions to get you up to speed on the massive potential of the MX5! You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. It may look compatible with popular multi-pedal power supplies but the MX5 will require more power than those boxes can provide. These boxes are a popular way to eliminate or reduce ground noise between different pedals by supplying a common ground. The MX5 is fully grounded through and through and will not add extra noise when integrated into a pedal system using the included power supply. The MX5 has a touchscreen has been downsized from seven inches to four but viewed in proportion it still commands our attention, and it is super satisfying using drag-and-drop icons to put together a signal chain. Sure, assembling or rearranging your pedalboard is a fun way to while away a Sunday morning, but the ease of use and the efficiency of units like the MX5 is a godsend when someone adds a new tune to a setlist and you have minutes not hours.

Yes, just simply tap the magnifying glass icon on the top bar of the Rig View screen and you can search through all of your presets using the QWERTY-style touch keyboard that appears. Note: If you are currently using a setlist when you tap the magnifying glass icon, you will only search within that setlist. Yes. Our 8-Bit Crush model gives you a wide variety of grimey crushing sounds. You can even individually mute or invert any of the 8-bits. The two new amps consist of the sparkling clean guitar 84 J-120H, based on a pristine clean solid-state model that's known for lush, enveloping sounds. Meanwhile bassists will love the new 83 400R amp which offers classically smooth and characterful tones.Elsewhere, the MX5 is not constrained by its proportions at all, and it is an exceptionally inspiring and practical device that can be used as a conventional multi-effects unit, using its complement of overdrives and boosts to drive the front-end of your amp. There's nothing you can’t do with this unit. It all starts with the crystal-clear touchscreen, which lets you navigate through all your settings with unparalleled ease. The interface itself is incredibly intuitive, displaying all your effects and amp/cab models in one place. In addition to the incredible built-in effects, which include a superb looper for writing and performing, there's also a built-in stereo effects loop for adding your own pedals into the mix. With this, you can use the four cable method to add in stereo pedals too, creating luscious soundscapes in the process. Can I assign half of my footswitches to control models, and half of my footswitches to control rig selection at the same time?

Most standard expression pedals will work with the HeadRush MX5. We recommend the M-Audio EX-P expression pedal.Ease of use cannot be undersold either. The way HeadRush handles presets is very impressive. The switching is gapless. Its presets do not just present snapshots of what the unit can do with many effects together, it offers presets for the effects themselves, enabling further experimentation of each effect model itself. The MX5 feels like a more powerful beast than the full-fat floorboard did onits original release. It’s priced competitively, and can replace several pedals on a compact ’board. For players assembling complex but static chains it might even replace a whole pedalboard.” Yes, the HeadRush MX5 can be connected directly to a USB port on your computer for recording straight into your favorite DAW. The USB port will supply 4 channels in and out, including stereo dry and wet signals. If you connect an external expression pedal to this ¼" input, the external expression will control parameters assigned to expression pedal B. When an external expression pedal is connected, the internal expression pedal will only control parameters assigned to expression pedal A.

The HeadRush amp and FX library is continuously expanding. Users have spoken and the creators have listened, delivering with two new amp models, a host of new FX, the ability to assign two scenes to one footswitch, and a slew of improvements and optimisations for existing FXs and the UI. However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. 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 expression pedal to fine-tune your settings.

Specifications

The 4 new Amp Models range from clean and crunchy tones to fierce metal tones. Bass players get to utilise the B DIST 7000 model inspired by the Darkglass Microtubes B7K Ultra V2 Bass Preamp. When you press this footswitch, you can "punch-in/punch-out" of a specific part of your loop and overwrite all previous layers. This is useful when you need to fix a very small part of a loop. The switches on the HeadRush MX5 are dual-purpose: holding down the switch will enter hands-free edit mode, and letting go initiates the action of the assigned pedal (on/off). This means that a model will not turn on/off until the associated pedal is released, which may differ from some standalone pedals that active/deactivate on the initial press. When using the HeadRush, a Rig can be considered a preset. A Rig contains all of the 11 footswitch slots and their associated models (amps, cabs, and effects) and each model's parameter settings. This makes it easy to save and recall an entire signal chain at once. In the four years since I reviewed the HeadRush Pedalboard (SOS September 2017: https://sosm.ag/headrush-pedalboard), the brand’s first guitar amplifier and effects modelling processor, the HeadRush range expanded to include the more compact Gigboard and the highly specialised Looperboard, which is dedicated entirely to the art of looping. Now, in keeping with the current trend of squeezing quarts of software into pint‑sized housings, we also have the HeadRush MX5, a super‑compact amp and effects modeller that contains all the software power (if not all of the facilities) of its larger modelling stablemates.
