great video...what amp and cab are you playing through and are you using the 4 cable method or straight though front amp?

I made this a while ago, but I made it at my home studio where I have the HeadRush brand speaker that came with the pedal so I think it's a FRFR 108. I just went straight into it.

Thanks for the videos. I'm relatively new to the Headrush, bought an MX-5, then upgraded to the Gigboard, and about to trade up to a Pedalboard. Love the product and the ease of creating rigs, I find I'm more creative with this than my Boss or Line 6 stuff. I've got an 80's tribute band that covers a wide spectrum of sounds, and the Headrush does it all with ease. 3 tips for you, not sure if you covered them in another video: 1. You should name your custom patches CLEAN CYGNUS, CRUNCH SYGNUS etc - putting the important stuff first in the name - so all your patches don't show 'CYGNUS' on the button labels. Instead they'll show 'CLEAN', 'CRUNCH which is easier when you're looking down to see which button to hit 2. Instead of using the wheel to scroll through all the patch names, just swipe down on the patch name in the display....faster, easier, and you see 6 patches at a time 3. Your boost solution for EQ is fine, I've used that as well. An alternative to assigning it to a button is to assign it to the volume pedal, or just assign 'volume' to the volume pedal, with a minimum of say 85% and a max of 100%. I find it more natural when playing live to just step down on the the volume pedal for my solo (unless I have it assigned to something else on that patch) Hope this Joe PS: Big Rush fan myself, saw them in a high school gym on a February night in the mid-70's in Clinton, Ontario with about a dozen other people - we were the only ones stupid enough to brave a massive snowstorm to go see them! Met Alex a few years back and he signed my PRS and my Hemispheres picture disc. Cool guy, very funny.

I wasn't aware of #2. This is my first touchscreen device! Thanks for all the feedback. I'll never forget Alex' acceptance speech (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?) where he just said "blah blah blah" for literally minutes. I generally like to save the volume pedal for volume swells.
