Headrush MX5 Ambient Pad Rig! Super long sustain with Dynamic Delay! 

Dave, I cannot express enough how important your videos were for my journey in the amp modelers world. I started with MX5 a few months back and was completely overwhelmed by the amount of knowledge required to set it up properly to make it sound as you need it. I wanted to give up and send the headrush back being convinced there is something wrong with unit and not my skills... a typical newbie mistake - looking back from the perspective. Even though I still have a lot to learn I feel like I am 10 levels higher then I was. Having said that I watched probably all of the videos available on YT regarding different modelers. But there were none that gave me so much understanding on how different effects work, not only in isolation but also together and how they affect each other. You knowledge about sound and sound waves in just priceless. And seeing you being distracted by a drone flying "in f sharp" in one of the vides was one of the funniest things proving you really feel sounds around you.

Wow, your explanations are so clear and concise; I did not know how important a few of the specific parameters were that you demonstrated - they make such a huge difference in making the patch USABLE and flexible in the live setting. Thanks Dave!

Dude, the dyn delay trickery is awesome. Thank you very much! This is really helpful for me.

Amazing ! Thanks !

Thank you ! There isn't a lot of info out there on how the rather complex dynamic delay parameters work. This is helpful

Wow. Amazing detail. Someone who actually seems to understand how to use these effects in isolation and together and can educate at the same time. Extremely impressed. Great video! Subscribed and definitely learned stuff. Thanks!

That is a sick rig mate. Thank you soo much! Just copied almost 99%, and boom: works like a charm. Makes me love my MX5 better. Best part is: I learn effects, so educational

Dave, thank you so much for a great explanation! I own both the Headrush Pedalboard and the MX5. Thinking about using the Pedalboard only in the studio, and the MX5 for live shows due to the size factor. I've been curious about Ambient guitar for a while, now I have a great place to start!

Dude thank you so much! I feel like I just learned so much about my MX5 and got an awesome preset out of this. I already started tweaking this to my liking and am very excited by the sounds I'm getting - Thank you for taking the time to become familiar with this pedal and for putting this video together!

Really infortmative video there Dave - great sounding rig too. Thanks for sharing

superb, tyvm. lot of variables, may require many replays here and there to fully understand and dial in. but great video Dave. mapping the volume pedal is something i will be learning soon, and footswitch assigning! so much to learn but all worth the effort, i love the mx5👍

Dave, this is great stuff! I'm loving my MX5, but I'm a drummer turned guitarist, so I'm learning not just about the unit, but about the chaining of various effects. Thanks for some great videos!

Thank you Dave, modern technology can be amazing if used properly. Now if only Sweetwater would get some MX5s in, (Demand is far outstripping supply), I can start the learning curve. Thank you, for flattening that particular curve. I want to see how close I can get to our lead guitarist’s $7,000.00+ board, for $400.00. All in good fun.

This was a great video. You've got a great ability to teach and speak in front of a camera. I wish you had more cool videos for the HeadRush.

Nice! This is the best config I've seen for creating pads. Subscribed. I also appreciate showing the setting rather than the lengthy explanation. I'm fairly new to Headrush products, but loving it so far. I'm looking into adding an inexpensive MIDI controller (Melo Audio MIDI Commander or similar) to gain the extra button control when desired. Thanks for the great tutorial!

amazing !!!!! I love coldplay and you can open me a many sounds in mi mind for my creations. Thanks a lot

Awesome tutorial

Super cool. Still trying to get my brain around the settings on the dynamic delay. This was a fear use case. Well done 👍🏻

Very Cool i like ambient stuff. ill have to play with this. Glad i found your channel.

great job Dave - really well done and broken down and explained - u rock! Take care! -DT, NLG

I haven’t taken it out of the box yet, but now I’m even more excited to

Really good amb patch tut. Thanks Dave!

🎸Thank you for the well explained set up. Great insights and ways to approach setting up the pedal.🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

I really like that we have the same monitors. I can get the exact same tones as long as my guitars pickups are similar.

I can’t wait to try this for myself. What a fantastic effect! Great video explanation. Many thanks!

I have just watched this video for the second time today.. I'll probably watch it again and apply the settings on my Heard Rush Pedal Board. Thank you so much.... U have all the sounds for playing in a Church Worship Setup.... Do u play at Church? Coz u do sound like one... haha

I'm sold! Thanks! Nice Vid! Very informative! Specially to a guy like that doesn't know much about pedals.

Gracias..super bien maestro

really fun. thanks!

Nice video and explanations, keep it up!

Beautiful

Sounds pretty cool

This is so helpful and so great... Thank you so much.

incredible rig, incredible didactic video, thanks!

Fabulous! 🌻

Super rad! Great Video!

Thanks, Dave. Kick-ass video!🎸

Thank u very much .. this is nice

You are awesome thank you 🎉

Great video!

Amazing info. Would love if you made an IR link for this

will you be able to share the patch for this? 😁

could you share the RIG and the IR, I would appreciate it very much 🥺🙌

can you share irig?

Great sound! I love my MX-5. One question - How did you duplicate the Headrush display onto your phone?

Does the Mx5 not have already a "freeze" pedal, called hold among the available effects?

What's the equivalent delay for this on the Helix? I do have an MX5 on the way that I'm pretty excited about.

Can you send the rig is perfect

Do you have a rig pack for sale with this shimmer rig in it?

I love your videos! Thank you! I think the talking is the perfect amount, btw! Haha I have the Headrush Gigboard and I wish the community was bigger for Headrush! I feel like a tiny community and much smaller being a Worship Leader with the Gigboard!

Well, right at the start, with the Dyn Delay and the exact same settings, my chords don't duck, they just go on top of each other. What did I miss?

Can you try to make a preset that simulates a 12 sting acustic guitar?

Hi Dave! This RIG sound awesome!... I bought an MX5 reciently but im experiencing some noise in my rigs... Do you have any issues with that in comparission with others Headrush? Do you use balanced cables to your interface? Do you filter frequencies / noise reduction / something to help? Im very confused about that... please I'll wait your answer!! Another thing: I have made this exact rig, but my "Auto Swell" does not work like yours... when I play the first chord, the volume seems to be "open"... and more with the DYN COMP. Any idea why? thx

I have bought a headrush mx5 and brought it to Brazil... 2 mouths of use it stopped working and they didn't pay me back... desapoited with Headhush.... I should buy a Hotone

Hi does the MX 5 have have a polyphonic Shimmer?

Just watched your video after the release of update 2.6 and I copied your rig adding the party verb.

I'm returning mine. Can't play it through my pedalboard set up. Too much time spent searching, scrolling, adding, tweaking, etc… I will stick with my analogue pedals. 👎

Yeah so drop in your tone so we can download it. Thanks!

Great video!
