I just wanted to take a minute here to give you my first impressions of the new Headrush MX5, which to me at least, appears to be one of the best, if not the best budget floor board multi effects chug unit out there!

Hey guys and gals, here's another video you may have missed! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1HtBVY1S46A.html 🤘

Hey Taylor, I know this is more of a personal question. But are you making a living off of just RU-vid and your band etc? I’m thinking of starting a channel after following you for a while and I just have the inspiration to share what I know and own and such

@DavidAllenMD Год назад

Can this power a cab? Or do u need a power stage?

@davidwoods358 2 года назад

I've had mine about 3 weeks now. I wasn't too happy with the factory presets but after creating my own rigs I am quite impressed. It comes with a ton of IR's loaded and ready to use. None of the other low priced modellers can run dual amps and cabinets (that, and the stereo effects loop was why I purchased it.) It's actually really well built and the touch screen, while a bit small (works perfectly.) The last processor I had was a Boss GT6 ... this is like a space ship compared to that.

@HeadRushFX 2 года назад

Awesome!! Split Signal chains alllll day long!! FYI - you can tap on those amps and cabs and have up to 4 amps and 4 cabs in one rig for that wall of sound. :)

This thing is nice. Ran with headphones only, will be exploring sound difference between interface and it acting as the interface. My bone to pick is with the stock cabs, too much gain or not enough, that line is incredibly fine. I am glad I bought mine. What would I like to see you do with it? Load your own IRs and do a jam fully in unit.

@TaylorDanley 2 года назад

That’s a good point, I did notice a lack of gain and then an overwhelming amount of gain when I adjusted, but I assumed it was just me 🤷‍♂️

IL be honest. I didn't think it sounded that good until You did that signal split with the jcm/mesa boogie thing at the end. Pretty cool sound for Amp Modeling. I wonder how good the inboard effects are

@TaylorDanley 2 года назад

There’s actually a much easier and better way to do that also. I didn’t know at the time but if you tap the amp block, it will split into 2 separate amps for you, which makes it much easier to dial in 👀

I really thing that the multi fx platforms lack tape effects, studio stuff in general, I'm not talking about proper kinda tape delay, I'm talking about effects like Strymon Deco, but gladly pasttofuture made some interesting stuff with Tape machine IRs and other kinda IRs that aren't just speaker 🔊 IRs or reverbs.

@JonesyTBJ 2 года назад

Are you recording from the mx5 to your daw?

@CarcPazu 2 года назад

I'd like a Mesa Rectifier shootout with that thing. Also I'm curious on how well their pitch shifter (whammy) emulation tracks notes and bends. That's usually a place where modelers cheap out. Bends will give you weird tracking issues when using a 5th or 7th up blended with the original signal. Or you can feel a clear delay between the original signal and the pitched effect. Could you comment on that?

@TaylorDanley 2 года назад

Not specifically bends, but the pitch shifter does work very well, I was actually pretty impressed that it was dropping whole chords down by a few semitones and still convincing. Further away you get from your true tuning, the less convincing it is, which I imagine is pretty normal

@zacolsen4805 2 года назад

@@TaylorDanley Does the MX5 have a specific octaver function (and if so, is it polyphonic), or just the pitch shift?

@philw8049 2 года назад

I’ve had one for a tad under 2 weeks now and I love the thing. For the cost you just can’t go wrong with it. Yeah the screens a bit small and adjusting certain things can be a little fiddly, but if it were ANY bigger, it would ruin one of the things I love most about it. How small and easily portable it is. I LOVE that I can put this and a couple cables in a gig bag and it’s all I need. I have the full size pedalboard as well and this also acts as a backup for that. Fantastic. Ok let’s be honest most of the time the full size one is the backup as I always grab this little guy.

@denism131 2 года назад

Hey man, so are you missing the footswitches at any point or are the 3 switches enough in combination with the rig/setlist modes? I think of buying one and am not sure if the mx5, line 6 pod go (similar price, more footswitches) or spending a lot more for the pedalboard (compromising a lot of money and size).

@philw8049 2 года назад

@@denism131 well the Pedalboard of course is just “more”. More switches if you use a lot of effects you turn on and off a lot it might be worth it. But keep in mind it is huge compared to the mx5, and weighs a lot more. But really, for me the MX5 is just fine. I use setlists and scenes to good effect. But I don’t do anything too crazy, usually a rythm and lead but if I really need more on one song I just have to make sure I setup the setlist properly and I can just move up or down a patch midsong, it’s really no problem. I don’t know too much about the pod go but if I’m remembering correctly it just doesn’t have as many features, can’t run as many effects at once. I could be wrong about that though.

@roccanto86 2 года назад

It is a very powerfull piece of gear, what I like of Headrush is that the DSP in the flagship Pedalboard is exactly the same as the gigboard or the MX5. If you see below the amp there is a 2x button, if you press it, you can have 2 different amps in the same block, that means that you can load up to 4 diferent amps and 4 different amps per rig using the dual path configuration; and even better: if you use the SCENE and the PRESET feature, you can have up to 12 different amps + 12 different cabs in the same rig without running out of DSP; maybe this is unnecesary but Headrush is capable of doing that.

Know what video I'd like to see? An intro into how to use a modeler, for somebody (like me) who's thinking about buying their first amp modeler and isn't sure exactly what to plug it into to get the best sound. Might be obvious to some, but as a person who has only ever used real amps and cabs, the rest of the signal path after a modeler isn't obvious, when you don't have your own PA system in your bedroom.

I am having trouble with the midi controller setup. It should be simple and fun, but its giving me nothing but a headache. Is there a bug in the current software? Or is it just hard to find a midi controller thats compatible. I also noticed a lag when switching rigs, and scenes. Almost as if the modeler is trying to load the layout.

Taylor would you say the Headrush sounds better than the Nux MG-30?

No, I think the sound quality is super subjective so I never really say one thing sounds better than the other. BUT I will say this has more options, and is more flexible in terms of routing and tonal possibilities. Also, the touch screen is a pretty nice addition.

@jimsimmons2674 2 года назад

I should have also mentioned that the Nux MG-30 is $100 less than Headrush but do you think if you take that into consideration do you think the high gain metal tones are pretty good on both of these units or is one better then another?

@@d.l.sstudio8922 Yeah, but you have to consider when using any poly effects on the hx stomp, it eats up almost all of your DSP. So you can't do much else when you have those effects engaged.

@TaylorDanley 2 года назад

@@d.l.sstudio8922 I think it can, but it's more noticeable the further you get away from your actual pitch. So if you go a full octave down, pretty dark. Also it seems like the lag increases, but that's to be expected.

@roccanto86 2 года назад

even with the simple pitch, the HX stomp uses a lot of DSP, no t the same with Headrush. I use it a lot and the latency is almost imperceptible to my tase, but it is more perceptible if you use 2 o 3 in a row.

@armanborloza7981 Год назад

Do you think it's better than Nux MG30?

Here's my take on the MX-5. Don't bother trying to dial in a good tone without Custom IRs. Even then the Helix and PODGo products are way better in the amp tones before it hits the Custom IRs. The only way to get a good tone out of the MX-5 is to use a great Custom IR because the amp tone is not that good. Also, the amp selection is a handful of amps with some slight variations. You get what you pay for and the MX-5 is cheap. Mine got returned and I had high hopes for it since it was based on the Eleven Rack product line.

@ryant3600 Год назад

you can dial in great tones w/o IR's. IR's do help for specific tones, and I have a lot of IRs on mine, but some of my favorite rigs are with the amp/cabs that came with it. I just really went in and really dialed everything the way I really wanted it. Just takes a little patience but the pay off is worth it.

@DISSONVNT Год назад

Hot take, but I'm sure you just needed to take more time in dialing in. I got a great sound without going into the IR's for a while. However yes, IR's take it up a whole notch, load a dv77 with a leveled 421 mic IR into a powerball model with the appropriate settings across the whole rig and you aren't ever getting rid of the thing, I guarantee it.

take in mind that headrush doesn't have PC/MAC software and MX5 is a floorboard so you have to bend down to adjust you rigs, but if you want if for going to gigs, it is perfect. In my case, I use it only in my home studio so my setup is the Gigboard on the table, the headrush expression pedal & a midi controller on the floor and the Headrush FRFR hanging on a wall mount.

You can get really great clean tones. They also have an acoustic pedal that is fantastic as well. Plus of course artist and rig downloads are available, If you can hear it in your head, you can create it on this, just need to really get into it and learn how to really dial everything in to the way you want it. For me, that's part of the fun, it's creating tones that are specifically just yours. And this is easy to use. I watched a couple video's on how to really dial things in, and I was off creating around 100 different rigs now on mine.
