Imagine going back 30 or 40 years with something like this...people's minds would be absolutely blown. We kind of take the whole "amp, cab, effects, everything in one box" thing for granted now but it really is pretty damn amazing if you think about it. Moore's law at its finest!!

[@flashpadxxx]

They would look u up for wizardry

[@chrisdavies9143]

This is how to demo a product. Excellent. I had a Headrush Gigboard for a while but moved it on because I wanted to build a traditional pedalboard. This is tempting though, having their looping tech plus all the vocal processing in there too, it's pretty comprehensive. And the guys did a great job in Lee's absence.

[@hyrumjensen4712]

Yeah the vocal processing has me very intrigued. It could be very useful for solo coffee shop or bar gigs.

[@heavyvetalv]

Elize has a stunning voice! Looking forward for seeing her again here ❤

[@ElizeMusicChannel]

Thank you! That’s very kind ☺️

[@MajesticFuzz]

@@ElizeMusicChannelgreat job with this. Did you really feel the harmony sounded good and tracked clean? I’ve read mixed reviews on the vocal harmony but you made it sound incredible. Did you have any complaints about the harmony?

[@recordingbude8653]

Wow, great demo and product. And Nate and Elize are really skillful musicians. Was a pleasure listening to them, and a nice change in style on this channel.

[@ElizeMusicChannel]

😃

[@bigglesoftltd9298]

This wasn't just a demo of the Headrush Core. It was also a demo of how to demo. More of this team, please.

[@koifish9645]

The guys really nailed that product demo. Provided a clear understanding of the features and sounds with a cool demo at the end!

[@jukesasaurusrex]

Totally blown away , definetly looking into this . Thank you for a wonderful showcase

[@tonyrapa-tonyrapa]

Great to hear something a little more soulful on this channel! Nice work guys.

[@JohnvanCapel]

Great video! I think Nate and Elize were great guests to bring on, they knew their stuff and the demo sounded amazing. I want that Toxic cover on Spotify. Love HeadRush's stuff, I have a Prime and it's killer. Core seems like a neat desktop-version of that, much like the Gigboard was to the Pedalboard - fewer buttons, no expression pedal built in, but much easier to fit on a desk and with pretty much the same internals. As an added bonus, unlike Pedalboard-to-Gigboard, the amount of connections seems to be the same as on the Prime as well - including the all-important XLR outs. So that right there is a reason to upgrade from a Gigboard.

[@CemSaydam]

So refreshing to see new artists here. Great choice!

[@mathias6423]

WOW , now THIS is how you demo and sell a product like this , REALLY IMPRESSED!!!

[@ramonpresta6433]

This demo is second to none. Brilliant! 👏

[@davidpenwell3432]

I wish i would have had equipment like that growing up. I was always in and out of bands as a kid but stuff like this would have for sure motivated us all to stick it out. It just makes it more simple and enjoyable

[@joesatchton212]

Superb idea to bring in working artists to demo and live run through the features of a product like this Headrush Core. This aspect needs to be explored much more on Andertons. Don't just show us the new stuff and basic run through of features. Everyone does that. Supplement that with musicians live building a set of tones and effects. Show the practical application of crazy capable devices like this Core.

[@travist1169]

TIL Pete isn't a musician. These two were just motivated, and not lazy is all.

[@SeanOnTheGulf]

Excellent content..THIS is what I needed for my PRIME!!! Keep 'em coming!!!

[@LivinginLosAngeles-re5yx]

This was a treat. Amazing musicians!

[@lukesteverything627]

I just got one (from Andersons - great delivery!) after watching this review. I'm not connected to Andersons or Headrush, I'm totally impartial but I've got to say it's great. I've never been a Headrush fan and I love my pedals but I had to get something compact and easy to transport. This thing is a marvel and it takes my backing vocals a dream. As a player who needs all the help I can get I've got to say that I'll be using it even when I don't need to. Nice job!

[@Singlehand_Music]

Nate and Elise are fantastic musicians, what a demo! ❤

[@LBv666]

Thank you for featuring new people, they’re amazing and inspiring ❤

[@ElizeMusicChannel]

[@mothroyale9076]

I'm bringing one of these boxes of tricks home in the near future. Excellent demo. 👍

[@jorgeleonel6663]

I front a power trio playing guitar and singing; this is a massively helpful product for such role - all in one value proposition. Enjoyed so much one the best videos from Andertons in a while, great product demo , full of musicianship. Kudos to Lee, Nate, Elize and team!

[@ElizeMusicChannel]

It’s a great all in one isn’t it!

[@jeffrankin7624]

Only issue I see is that apparently BOTH xlr outs have to be set for guitar or vocals, or both. The manual does not show a way to use the right xlr for guitar, and the left for vocals, for instance. This seems like an obvious omission to me to me.

[@jorgeleonel6663]

@@jeffrankin7624 makes sense, even though using one 1/4 output for the guitar sound and one of the XLRs for vocals will work for me anyway

[@MuckingAboutWithMyHeadrush]

I front a 3 piece too, and the main drawback with the vocal section is Headrush give you 14 effect/amp blocks total, if you want to use guitar and vocals they split it 7 each.. you probably won't need 7 effect blocks on the vocals, and you will want more on guitar, a 10/4 or 11/3 split would be much more usable in a live scenario. I have chosen to stay with the original pedalboard and an external vocal processor for that reason.

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

Welcome new guy!!! great demo...I hope to see you do many more!!!

[@janusn9]

Great preformance, and another great video. Looks like a great pedal.

[@zikermu]

Thanks a lot for the demo and the Show 🤩

Live stereo concert for the Captain. Lee was loving it 😁👏🏻

E X C E L L E N T ! Explanation of the new HeadRush Core. And last but not least : the wonderful song at the end of this video ! Bravo. Phil.

[@Krullmatic]

Elize has a phenomenal voice! For a digital effects processor, it sounds pretty good! Loved the 4 part harmony!

[@andertons]

Yup - I was sat next to her & her pure voice (no processing etc) is just incredible.

[@kirkwilliams2127]

Holy smokes, she can sing. What a great demo from all of you. The guitar playing is awesome. What a great rig.

[@mesa290]

great demo, Headrush seems to be a great product looking forward to trying out my new pedal

[@adamcogan211]

Oh my god these two are incredible!! You need to hire them both as future product demoers/performers!

[@ElizeMusicChannel]

😃We had such a fun time!

[@jimlambrick3248]

Wow, nicely done!

[@koyl]

Great demo as always. A compact multi effect for guitar AND vocals is exactly what I've been looking for.. and now there's finally one ! One question though: Is it possible to put guitar effects and even amps in a vocal fx line ???

[@66florin669]

This was awesome

[@LeedeMora]

Wow, backing harmony at 22:50. Amazing. I'd buy that on it's own as a standalone pedal @headrush.

[@davidf2281]

Agreed -- made me want to become a singer!

[@muchomacho79]

I would buy this for it's giggable hardware format autotune in a heartbeat. Gonna google other hardware autotune solutions right meow in fact!

[@ElizeMusicChannel]

It's one of my favourite effects too!

[@poison7512]

You can.. literally every TC Helicon product that does this does it better.

[@jacksmith4460]

Stunning voice this Lady has

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

Awesome video and demo, and awesome performances from the guest artists.... I think I'm finally getting around to picking up an MX5 , but these look realy awesome! The ability to do all of the vocals with effects, and to have both guitar input and vocals go into the looper ... I could see this being really awesome for a duo or solo singer/musician. The larger Prime board with more switches definitely makes more sense for live performance. Maybe some day this MX5 will lead to one of the people in my house ending up needing something like this or the Prime

[@MrBulbei]

Is the vocal setting for the key fixed (In the example shown Key C)? I know it from the Boss VE500 so that you can set it to "Auto" and then the guitar tone is the basis for the voice key adjustment performs!? Is that also possible with the Antares Auto Tune?

[@ConorCrimmins]

Thanks for the video. Do you know if you can use all of the guitar efx on the XLR/vocal channel? or is it just the vocal specific efx? Thanks

[@ryan-from-prague]

I was just thinking about this and hoping that Andertons would do a demo soon ❤😊

[@tophe95]

Thanks for the vid. Does amps and effects sound the same as the gigboard, mx5?

[@DjMichelful]

The Intro makes me cry immediately😅 So good playing with awesome sound🤘I think I need one😍

[@meilanamusic]

So would you be able to assign short sections of audio that you’ve chopped up and have the footswitches trigger them? I just bought a boss rc600 but am within date to return it and am strongly considering getting this instead.

[@mgdew]

darnit, I was set on getting the Quad Cortex, had discounted the Headrush Prime because of the sheer size just for home use, but now seeing this I am back into decision mode again, would love to see a shootout on this with the QC on stock amps and cabinets being close to the originals, I don't have amps to model so rely on others providing the goods.

[@lukehinkle9614]

I got this pedal a few weeks ago, and got the expression pedal yesterday. I have so much to learn about how versatile this pedal is. I've used the bass presets at my gigs so far, and played around with the guitar presets at home, but I need to really dig into this thing!

[@MountainLionessMusic]

I need this one.

[@_caseyjames]

What a singer. Proper musician.

[@ElizeMusicChannel]

Thank you!

[@spot1119]

I wonder can you run a prerecorded vocal through it and be able to print those fx onto a new track?

[@ConorCrimmins]

Can you use the guitar effects on the mic/xlr channell? Or only the dedicated vocal effects?

[@ehmmmjay9907]

I love how Headrush doesn't cheap out on the DSP on their smaller/cheaper products. You can run the same exact patch on their bigger boards and their small MX-5!

[@GoofieNewfie]

Girl can sing!

[@ElizeMusicChannel]

😄

[@jjmoon2099]

Great demo, I am curious as to how the outs factor to FOH. Guitar, vocals and backing tracks. Is it all.on the L/R xlr out.

[@alexandredormani2093]

For the wah pedal … we have to buy a separate one ? Thanks !

[@JoeBaermann]

Headrush is really killing it with these new boards. Not carring much for the vocal side, but guess it’s nice to have.

Thank you! 😊

[@beenay18]

It it possible to use it as a looper in live setting to play whole song such that I can kick in intro, verse, chorus, bridge, outrow etc whenever needed?

[@lonegroover]

[@ohkee]

Sweet intro!

[@blackcattraxstudio5278]

As with the Prime, makes no sense to me why there is not a dedicated xlr out for the mic.

[@spot1119]

Would you say this is more for live use or could it be just as good for recording in my home studio? I like the vocal processor on it a lot.

[@KadenceRain]

I'm wondering the same thing

[@lucas_fpro]

do you know guys if we can set up "the vibrato" on the headrush like with the antares autotune pluggin ?? thank you so much !!

[@GoofieNewfie]

My problem with all of these all in one pedals is you really need to have them on a desk. The ability to use a kemper or Fractal with a PC saves my back. I've played with the Prime and original pedal board. Touchscreen interface is quite easy to use. But for the hours and hours of tweaking you get into with these, a pc or tablet connection is almost required.

[@MrAnfield1971]

Hey do you have to use a frfr speaker...or can this go via tube amp... thank you

[@CaptainsGamertag]

It can go via tube amp using direct in or the fx loop 👍

[@TheChristafershawn]

Very very cool.

[@JawkneeJay]

I think I want one of these as I really need a modeler/multi fx for a band I recently joined. But I still have ptsd from trying to use a Helix LT i just never got any good sound out of the thing. What appeals to me is how straight forward the interface looks to use

[@matthewkemp7554]

Lee, you bring on the rippingest guitarists man!!

[@stveloop9452]

If only you could have stretched to a Neumann mic for this demo, but it does address the target live use. Great demo.

[@dansav4519]

I've played that intro more than 20 times where can I find his music?

[@kirkwilliams2127]

It’s table top in the studio and then once all worked out for the gig it goes to the feet. So versatile. I’ll take that over the massive Prime version. Then just add a separate pedal.

[@martinjoelsen5953]

Do you guys ship guitar sets to Greenland??🇬🇱

[@baolbardotbulsara]

Hey! Great demo, but I didn't get if the vocal harmonizer needs to be programmed or if it can pick the key by reading the guitar chords. And is the Core suitable for acoustic guitar? Thank you!

[@baolbardotbulsara]

Hi! I still would like to know this! Thanx!

[@gustavoloebel]

Me too

[@Techco1]

Will any of these features make it to the mx5 gig board or pedalboard? Or is it very much the “thanks for your 1500 dollar investment your SOL and it’s a dead product now”

[@BeachGuyDave]

Hows the looper feature ?

[@Bastionaute]

Nice and groovy! Can you share the rig please ? I really like the smooth vocal effect with the guitar sound!

[@OlawaleOlaleye]

Not a single tutorial on preset footswitches assignment. Could you share a tutorial on how to assign for exsmple my top 6 presets to each footswitches for easy access?

[@BeachGuyDave]

Is it good for acoustic ?

[@paulhudson2293]

I really want one of these units to be controlled off a phone or tablet app that syncs with the pedal. When the unit is on the floor, it's not the easiest or most comfortable thing to get down and start adjusting settings etc. especially when you've only got a relatively small touch screen. It surprises that this somehow isn't available already, given it seems like such a basic piece of software.

[@lostluden8912]

line 6 had it with some old pod I think. Also Marshall had it with the CODE series. it's out there for some devices, but really niche.

[@caseydelles7274]

Line 6 used it with the Firehawk FX, and man, was that a useful feature. I really miss it.

Revalver is an amp sim developed by Peavey. I've used it for about 10 years. It has a nice variety of gear including all the great Peavey amps. The product was sold to another company and there hasn't been any development for some time. I have no idea what's going on with the software. So, maybe Headrush have bought Revalver.

[@theprezenz]

Can you change vocal patches and guitar/bass fx with the buttons as well?

[@AndrewJacobowitz]

Yes, there is a handsfree mode that will allow you to change patches and tweak parameters of individual patches. Basically the handsfree mode allows you to edit or play while standing up but with something like this, it's easier to build or edit rigs with it on a desk or chair while seated because you'll be able to use the knobs.

[@theprezenz]

@@AndrewJacobowitz I'm only talking about changes patches with your foot while playing live at a gig cause that's what's the main purpose of this device is. (editing is of course already done before) I mean, can I assign for example clean signal/ distortion on/off on button 1 for guitar, clean signal/ delay on/off for guitar on button 2, clean vocals/autotune on/off on button 3, clean/whatever effect on/off on button 4 for vocals etc..

[@w1zard0f0h]

Can you run this directly into the pa or do you need a power amp as well?

[@moroboshidan7960]

The idea is to use cab sims or IRs and DI, but AFAIK you can use both, one output to the PA and another to a stage amp.

[@CircleOf5ths]

Running an amp sim thru a second amp is not best practice. Headrush works best using a FRFR speaker. I'm giving an Alto XS408 a try. I need small, light weight, economical.
