and Vocal rigs with amazing speed and accuracy. The large display also gives clear feedback when performing live,
especially when tweaking tones using the expression pedal in ‘Hands-Free Mode’. Everything about the HeadRush
Prime is designed to make it simple, fast, and intuitive to jump right in and create amazing sounding rigs in seconds.

COMPLETE LIBRARY OF GUITAR/VOCAL FX, AMP CLONES, IR’S AND MORE!

The HeadRush Prime includes an ever-expanding library of on-board guitar FX, amp, cab and microphone emulations,
amp clones, impulse responses, as well as a full suite of vocal FX (including the industry-standard Antares AutoTune®)! These are premium emulations of the most cherished guitar and studio gear with unprecedented accuracy
and jaw dropping natural dynamic response. This library is expanded on a regular basis via firmware updates (available via onboard Wi-Fi connection, or USB connection to Mac/ PC) that add new features based on user requests and
feedback.

THE EASIEST AMP AND PEDAL CLONER EVER

The HeadRush Prime features proprietary next generation cloning technology enabling you to greatly expand your
onboard amp and FX library using real gear. The HeadRush Amp Cloner precisely captures the sound, dynamics, and
most importantly, feel, of your favorite boutique, vintage, and modern amps, pre-amps, distortion pedals, overdrive
pedals, and even fuzz pedals. Using the HeadRush Amp Cloner is as simple as connecting your target device to the
HeadRush Prime and following the easy directions shown on the 7-inch touch screen. After the cloning process is
complete, you can make flexible adjustments such as removing the speaker cabinet sound from an amplifier clone,
so that you can use your clone with different cabinet models or impulse responses. Once you’re finished making any
final adjustments, you can share your favorite amp clones with other users, as well as preview and download new
clones made by other users using the onboard Wi-Fi with HeadRush Cloud. With the new HeadRush Amp Cloner and
HeadRush Cloud, your personal tone armory is unlimited.

WI-FI ENABLED FOR HEADRUSH CLOUD PRESET SHARING

The HeadRush Prime features an onboard Wi-Fi connection that can connect directly to the all-new HeadRush Cloud
via a local Wi-Fi network. The HeadRush Cloud is a free service for all HeadRush users where they can browse, demo,
and download exclusive rigs and clones created by the entire HeadRush community, including featured artists. Users
can quickly search and filter by the most downloaded and liked rigs, and they can also search by other parameters
like genre. The HeadRush Cloud is the ultimate resource for finding out how to quickly craft a tone like your guitar hero
or for when you’re just looking for inspiration for creating a new sound.

UNLIMITED TONAL EXPANSION WITH THIRD PARTY IR SUPPORT

Out of the box, the HeadRush Prime comes with over 300 perfectly captured impulse responses. These were
meticulously created in a studio located in England with some of the most historic guitar cabs from Marshall, Fender,
Vox, Orange and more! It’s also simple to load your own third-party IRs via drag-and-drop when connected by USB
or directly from Dropbox via the Prime’s built-in WIFI. The HeadRush Prime has virtually unlimited storage for IRs with
1024 and 2048 sample lengths.

LEARN MORE SONGS AND SOLOS FASTER WITH THE BUILT-IN PRACTICE TOOL

The HeadRush Prime is the world’s first FX processor with the ability to load songs directly from Dropbox over WiFi for practice or to learn songs faster. Once a song is loaded, you can loop and slow down tricky sections, as well
as change the pitch up or down in semitones to quickly learn songs in new keys. The Prime can also connect and
play audio from any Bluetooth-enabled mobile device, which opens you up to using many more streaming and
digital lesson services. Whether you’re working on transcribing your favorite face-melting guitar solos, expanding
your knowledge on chord voicings, or just trying to learn a cover song for your next gig, the HeadRush Prime has
everything you need onboard to get the job done quickly

DURABLE ROAD-READY STEEL CHASSIS

Housed in a durable road-ready steel chassis, the HeadRush Prime includes many thoughtful features for use on
stage, including incredibly bright color-assignable LEDs and customizable OLED scribble strips that show each of the
12 footswitches’ current assignment and status for each rig. You can even drag-and-drop to create set lists (custom
orders of rigs) for your gigs. The HeadRush Prime is a truly convenient and compact way to bring all the best classic
vintage and modern gear you will ever need on stages near or far without breaking the bank (or your back).

BEST-IN-CLASS LOOPER WITH SAVING AND MIDI SYNC FUNCTIONS

The HeadRush Prime features a best-in-class onboard looper that you can use to layer parts during performances or
use as a songwriting tool when inspiration strikes. Each loop has a maximum length of 5 minutes and can hold up to
a whopping 20 minutes of layered audio at a time! When you’re finished, you can save your loops as .WAV files and
export them to your Mac/PC vis USB Transfer Mode for sharing with the world. You can also import .WAV files to use
the looper as a backing track player, and you can easily sync the looper to external MIDI devices like drum machines.

GAPLESS PRESET SWITCHING WITH REVERB/DELAY TAIL SPILLOVER

The HeadRush Prime’s multi-core processor delivers advanced gapless preset switching utilizing reverb/delay tail
spillover, which means that the tails for any reverb or delay effects in your rig can be configured to continue to ring
out when changing presets or turning the reverb and delay effects off within the rig itself. When the preset is changed
there is no break in the reverb and/or delay signal, making your on-the-fly changes sound fluid and seamless, just like
a professional studio recording.

BUILT-IN USB AUDIO INTERFACE FOR RECORDING AND REAMPING

The HeadRush Prime’s USB connection opens up the world of recording or reamping directly to a computer. When
the HeadRush Prime is connected to your computer, you can select and use the HeadRush Prime as a 24-bit 96 kHz
audio interface! When choosing the reamp option you can add the tone coloration of an amp to a pre-recorded audio
signal—in this case, sending audio from your DAW through the HeadRush Pedalboard and then recording it back into
your DAW. Recording professionals around the world know that reamping saves valuable time in the studio, and the
HeadRush Prime makes it easier than ever.

ALL THE CONNECTIONS YOU NEED

The HeadRush Prime assimilates seamlessly into your current rig with all the connections you need to handle any
performance situation. The rear panel of Prime is packed with inputs and outputs, including a ¼-inch input for guitars,
Combo XLR+¼-inch input with switchable 48V phantom power for microphones, (2) XLR outputs with switchable
ground lift, (2) ¼-inch TRS outputs switchable between amp or line level, a ⅛-inch headphones output, and 5-Pin
MIDI input and output connections. The Prime also features an onboard ¼-inch stereo FX loop to integrate pedals
and outboard gear at any point in your signal chain and allows for advanced integration into your rig via the four-cable
method. Additionally, there is a ¼-inch external amp output that can be used to change between clean and dirty
channels or toggle other footswitch settings on a connected traditional guitar amplifier. In addition to the onboard Wi-Fi
and Bluetooth audio connectivity, the Prime also features a USB-A input for importing/exporting files directly from/to a
USB drive, as well as connecting external USB-MIDI controllers. The HeadRush Prime unites your existing equipment
while opening a world of new sonic possibilities.
