Cumberland, RI USA (September 19, 2023) – HeadRush, the leading maker of touchscreen-based solutions for guitar-based performers, is today announcing the release of its latest multi-FX pedalboard: the HeadRush Core. Offering the exact same processing power and advanced software features as the flagship, best-selling HeadRush Prime, HeadRush Core is optimized for portability with a smaller footprint while incorporating five foot switches.
The HeadRush Core contains a huge library of realistic and responsive guitar FX, amp, cab, and microphone emulations; virtually unlimited impulse response loading; and the ability to accurately simulate analog gear with ‘smart cloning’ technology. It
also features a full suite of vocal FX (including the industry-standard Antares AutoTune®), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and a best-in-class looper. This is all powered by an advanced multi-core processor which delivers an incredibly powerful floorboard, with gapless switching between presets and an incredibly easy-to-use 7" touch interface. All of this is packed into a rugged-yet-compact steel chassis that’s loaded with I/O.
HeadRush Core takes amp cloning to a whole new level by leveraging its 7” touch screen to deliver an incredibly simple and intuitive cloning process. Plug in your target device, follow the on-screen instructions, and capture the magic of your
favorite amp or distortion, overdrive, or fuzz pedal in minutes. Once a clone is created it can be easily added to any rig and then tweaked. For example, you can replace just the speaker sound of an amp clone with a different onboard cabinet model or impulse response.
Saved clones and rigs can be shared directly from Core, using the built-in Wi-Fi connection and the HeadRush Cloud. The HeadRush Cloud is a free online community directly users to search, audition, and download rigs and clones uploaded by the HeadRush community, as well as from featured artists and content partners. Best of all, clones and rigs are cross compatible between HeadRush Core and HeadRush Prime, so new HeadRush Core users will have immediate access to over 1000 clones when connecting to the Cloud for the first time.
