Good video! One thing that I ran into a lot is that when hitting the “stop” button it would completely remove my loop I recorded. I really think Headrush should fix this. When you hit record, you naturally want to hit the stop button. But, you have to hit the record button again to stop recording the new loop. Hope this helps someone else!
Informative and entertaining while remaining humble. Rare and appreciated. Just got an mx5, but on the fence with trading in for GX1000. Liked and subbed.
Looks like this is the best buy for me as a first time guitarist. Bass is my main so I don't wanna spend and buy multiple pedals just for a guitar. Looper is definitely a must have.
I'm a professional drummer, and I just started playing the Bass a few months ago. I took a trip to guitar center, with buying the Zoom B6 in mind. I walked out the door with the Headrush MX5. 😂 Man this thing is Aaaaawsome.
Honestly it’s a great choice for even more experienced players. I’ve played over 25 years and it’s the best piece of equipment I’ve owned for my purposes. Whenever I see a new pedal I like, I just think “actually I can probably do that on my headrush” - besides, most effects pedals are overpriced these days, so a good multi effects unit is also a sensible choice.
Great video demo showing the looper function, thanks! I got mine last week and had the weekend to play around with it. My first multi-effects pedalboard and loving it, so easy to use and with the free Celestion IR´s sound great! Thanks for these MX5 videos!
Excellent, thanks. Re. pre/post, 5:15. Use Pre when editing patches, hands free so to speak. Same for sound check, loop and take a walk around the room. Bluetooth app would be nice there but not a dealbreaker for me, probably only need to adjust a few EQ curves against the room. They're getting quite cheap used now and in a sweet spot with sturdy expression pedal and IR uploader in a compact form factor.
Well, at least someone shows such interesting things on RU-vid. Thank you. I don’t understand why manufacturers can’t make sure that the looper layer is written to a flash drive in the processor? This is an elementary solution, we get a mini DAW in our pocket. I saw such a function on the Zoom G6 alone, but the resolution is crap, only 16/44.1.
I'm just about sold on this pedal and plan to try one very soon, your video was excellent for showing the simplicity and versatility, thank you. It also answered a lot of questions i had esp about the looper. I was wondering if you could do a similar demo on using it as a recording interface. You might already have, I'm going to check it out. magic, cheers
Compared to POD Go, would the MX5 be easier to dial in good tones? I'm new to modeling and tweaking and I'm a bit overwhelmed with the PGo. Even though it's advertised as entry level, there are just SO many options! From what I've learned, the MX5 has better quality tones too. Would the MX5 be easier to dial in than the POD Go, or are they both equally complex? Thanks, Great Videos!
Just noticed your new loop only records when you start to play and you don't need to hit record the moment your starting which is excellent but if you create a loop you like are you able to add it to a new loop like the looper board or can you save and name it and start again?
Do you know if you can control the looper while you are on the main rig page with an external midi controller? Lets say you have a rigs with scene you want to control with the 3 fs on the mx5 and on the midi controller, start recording a loop and start/stop it with the midi fs?
I've tried Googling, watched multiple videos (some specifically about the looper) and even downloaded the manual and nowhere is it mentioned whether the looper is stereo or not.
Hey! Tommy here, we met at Orange County guitar show, I was working the Ciari booth right next to you…. So does the MX5 looper record button activate on release? I noticed it’s different than gigboard and pedalboard… did you notice??
Hey Could u help me with the looper peeling? I am all over the place trying to get to re- record and it always eraases everything and i just want to redo one overdubed part?
On the Lea the feature in the looper, how many times can you extend to? You had it on 2x can you go as high as 120x. I’m thinking of using it as a song writer if I get it.
Hi Love your videos!! I own an MX5 and I`ve noticed a problem with the looper, it actually takes a small time (less than a second) to start recording, but it's enough that if you stomp it on beat (like you do with any looper to have a good, in time, locked in loop) the MX5 misses the transient, so you end up with either an off-time loop or a loop without transient. have you experienced this? do you know a way to fix it? Thanks!
how far does Output routing for the MX5 go ? can I route one signal with all amps/effects etc. to the line output and have an unaffected signal to the USB output into my DAW and do both simultaneously ?
Does the 5 minutes per loop include overdubs, i.e. a 30 second loop and a 30 second overdub= 60 total record time? This aspect of loopers has always confused me when a manufacturer says "X minutes of looping!!".
I know your comment was a month ago, but: For the mx5 you have 20 minutes total recording time over 5 minutes of loop time, so you could overtub 5 minutes 4 times or use up to 50 layers to get a total of 20 minutes recorded. So 1 minute loop with 20 1 minute overdubs or 40 30 second overdubs. So yeah it is the way you think but it's 20 minute total recording over a 5 minute loop.
Thanks for the great demo. I see that you can switch rigs while in the looper, but can you edit sound parameters, i.e., can you go back to the pedal edit screen and go back to looper without interrupting the loop? Or can you only switch between pre-saved rigs in looper mode? Thank you.
(button on the left) Is there a stop/resume all option? Example: Drums + 5 layers/loops Now when u hit "stop" does it stop everything (loops & drums) or will it stop loops only?
It will stop everything. Just remember it’s a single loop with multiple layers, not multiple tracks. If you want multi tracks you would want to look at the HR Looperboard or the singular sound Aeros.
Great vids my man . ? I have research this but to no avail !! Can the mx5 connect directly to a iPad Pro 2020 to record in GarageBand? New sub and 👍 Keep the vids coming 🤘
Great video, does anyone know if rhe looper can record from the aux input? It would be great to connect a synth or something (in stereo) using the aux input and record.
mine doesn't work like this. I can't seem to choose another rig, if I push the two pedals at the same time the loop stops or gets deleted, then the start and stop doesn't have the clear as a secondary function and the overdub doesn't have the Peel as a secondary function either, I get a "More" in the Exit pedal that takes me to another menu... So far, I don't like this looper.
@@ThePedalGuy i decided to get a Fender ABY box n run mx5 into a clean trace elliot model in a Vypyr vip2 for looper rythyms then switch to my Spark for leads and still use my rf wireless dongle into the aby box. Stereo lol at least the vypyr doesnt collect dust now.
@@ThePedalGuy so if a backing track is 7 minutes long will it just give an error? Could you use 2 of the five minute loop slots for a 7 min track? Just curious if the backing track is limited by file size or is it minutes of play. I think I typed it wrong last time there are four slots each 5 minutes for a total of 20 min. Purple rain is a song longer than 5 minutes so am I unable to use that backing track?
@@ThePedalGuy Hi My VoiceLive 3 Extreme let’s me load backing tracks or loops and save it within a preset that can be easily loaded, started and stopped via foot switch. That could be a nice feature request for the MX-5
When I start recording, it cuts off the start. Just a little, but confusing. Another looper is accurate. I also have a Boss RC 5. That's right. Can you help me with what I'm doing wrong?
Does the auxiliary input run independently with no effects? Or is it included in the signal path that all the effects are being applied to? Also I’m assuming you cannot use the auxiliary input as a selectable output when connecting to DAW using USB direct? I’m assuming you will only see left and right outs?
