HEADRUSH CONNECTS MUSICIANS TO THE WORLD'S Best GUITAR TONES WITH NATIVE NAM SUPPORT AND DIRECT TONE3000 INTEGRATION

Major Firmware Update for Prime, Core, and Flex Prime Puts a Global Community of Premium Tone Instantly Within Reach, No Computer or File Conversion Required

CUMBERLAND, R.I. (August 1, 2026) – HeadRush® today announced a major firmware update for its Prime™, Core™, and Flex Prime™ pedals, delivering native support for Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) captures and direct integration with TONE3000, the fast-growing platform for community-created guitar tone. The update transforms how musicians discover, download, and perform with premium tone, connecting players directly to a global ecosystem of players, producers, audio engineers, artists, and creators with no computer, conversion, or third-party software required.

The Era of Closed Tone is Over

The best guitar tones no longer live inside manufacturer-controlled libraries. They're being created, captured, and shared by a global community of musicians and sound designers. HeadRush Prime, Core, and Flex Prime now connect players directly to that world, making it easier than ever to find and perform with tones that once required a converter, a workaround, or a wish list.

“With native NAM support and direct TONE3000 access built right into Prime, Core, and Flex Prime, we're putting hundreds of thousands of community-created captures of iconic amps, boutique gear, and rare signal chains directly in musicians' hands, with no computer required,” said Walter Skorupski, Senior Product Manager of HeadRush at inMusic. “It's the same open, community-powered spirit that's reshaping modern guitar tone, now built directly into the rig.”

"I'm very proud of the level of quality that NAM offers. Seeing HeadRush affirm this by bringing it to their product line is a win for open-source technology in the music industry and, ultimately, the artists that industry serves." said Steve Atkinson, creator of Neural Amp Modeler.

"Less than two months after TONE3000 launched NAM A2, HeadRush's entire multi-effects lineup has become the first to let you browse the full TONE3000 library directly from the device's screen,” stated Stanley Vergilis, Co-Founder and CEO of TONE3000. “And with the Flex Prime available for just $499, making music is more accessible than ever.”

From Discovery to Performance, Instantly

HeadRush believes great tone shouldn't come with a technical barrier. With this update, Prime, Core, and Flex Prime users can search, demo, download, and play NAM captures directly from TONE3000 through HeadRush Cloud and the onboard touchscreen, no laptop, file conversion, or manual transfer required. NAM captures load natively, with no degradation and none of the workflow friction that comes with third-party formats. Whether accessing a rare vintage amp captured overseas or a boutique pedal chain shared by a bedroom engineer, the path from discovery to performance is now instant.
