Headrush Prime Update 4.0 New Features

[@metalmadsteve]

In the scenes, you just have to save another preset in the effect you're using. And then use that preset.

[@WholeLottaBulldog]

Superclone feature works great. Theyve definitely improved the cloning software. The trick ive found is cloning WITHOUT a boost infront, then adding the boost after the clone is established

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thanks for commenting. That's exactly how I did this clone. There was no boost involved at all. I still think they have a little ways to go regarding accuracy but it's definitely improved.

[@willman100]

I’m glad you made this video. HeadRush still has a ways to go to be on par with the others, but it’s definitely better than before. Sounded great in the mix though

[@alvarg]

did you ever manage to capture the revv generator?

[@ericnelson5602]

My Marshalls are almost 50 years old…how long do you think these things will last? How long before they’re no longer updated or supported?

[@Stampy74YT]

I think to handle pedal settings changes by scene, you need to create a pedal preset with the settings you want then you can select which preset you want for each scene.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thanks for the information. I will give that a try next time I use this.

[@richardchristensen1768]

Thanks for doing this informative video and great job! What is the song you were demoing your incredible shredding on that you ended this vid with? I love that song and need it on a listening playlist because it is awesome?

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the song. The song is called" learn to fly" It's actually available on my album that I'm selling on my website Tonewars.com

The Dyn Delay is what you want in a high gain tone. Feedback very low 5,6,7 mix between 15 to 23 for leads...and high n low cut it to taste....like you I've used all these units...but when you realize how to dial in this delay...no joke I swear it's the most harmonic friendly delay I ever heard lol

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

@@JamesFlorio-ti8gc thanks for commenting. I did try that delay. The only thing I didn't like about it was the first repeat that it gave me was really loud compared to the original note that I was playing. It was kind of weird. I'll have to mess with it further.

[@JamesFlorio-ti8gc]

@TONEWARSgearshow like you I usually use a 700 or 750 Ms setting...try a 500 at 5 on the feedback and adjust between 15 to 23 was my trick

[@JamesFlorio-ti8gc]

@@TONEWARSgearshow oh and don't forget to turn the high cut down a bit that weird repeat you are hearing is coming from the high end almost like some sort of verb is on it in the chain already even when there is no verb 👍🏻

[@michaelgotthardt4727]

FWIW- sounded solid to me- nice work. I know I am a noob, but I am loving this update

[@hecull2]

I mostly play amps but like to mess around with the digital stuff too. I've been a fan of Headrush's interface for a while now. I got a used Gigboard to play with a couple years ago and bought a Core when they came out. Unfortunately, the clones just don't sound as good as my ToneX and the built-in models just don't sound as good as my Helix. Headrush is so close to being as good as other platforms and I was hoping this update would put them on par. Although this update got rid of the artifacts I was hearing in the clones before, they're still not quite there. The Superclone idea is great and I hope Inmusic keeps the updates coming.

[@Thrive-Off-Grid]

For the blocks there needs to be a mode setting. Global or Custom < for scenes. You dont want one or other because thats a double edge sword you want the option.

[@dornyoh]

I follow your channel and I love all your videos. For the scenes you can create two scenes per footswitch. Secondly with the delays the AIR Delay has a resonance filter which you need to turn down in the settings. You will notice there is a resonance frequency parameter and a mix parameter for that which are separate from the actual delay mix. That is what makes it sound right off the bat. The Again Delay has a modulation going on in the repeats. Also you do not need to add a separate delay pedal in the signal change. You only need to save the settings you want for a scene for that particular delay as a preset and assign those presets in the scene changes. I do agree with you that by default most of the delays sound weird because of the modulations going in the repeats which need to be dialed out.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thank you so much for the information. They definitely need to fix this. That's a really convoluted way of creating settings of your pedals for each scene. They need to simplify that. Again, I appreciate the information you shared here.

[@dornyoh]

@@TONEWARSgearshow it's true that it's convoluted. I think the line of thought is akin to creating something like a blocks/presets library for each effect like what you find in the Axe FX and having those assigned to scenes

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

@dornyoh I prefer the Line 6 way of doing things. They allow you to create favorites but also let you just tweak things in each snapshot accordingly. Best of both worlds.

[@GhostofGenX]

I was going to say, the Badlander had that gnarly fizz but the Headrush still sounded okay, much better with the OD.

[@isaacvelasco5559]

Thanks for sharing this video! Can someone tell me the name of the editing software and where to download?

[@JTB--]

Have you tried the Revalver stuff for amp cloning on a HeadRush unit yet? Pretty cool

[@steveareton697]

Thanks for the interesting and fair/objective video as always! Now today there's a brand new Helix update with some new High gain amps and a soldano cab - get back to work!! lol 🤣

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thanks for commenting. As soon as I finish this video, I noticed that the Helix update. I'll be doing that tomorrow.

[@zakklee2556]

Thank you for the review of firmware update 4.0 for the Headrush Prime, Core and Flex. I got a Headrush Core on sale $100 off the original price for $699 last week. I also got the Kemper Player last week, which is being returned today. Please include more Headrush in your content.

[@JohnvanCapel]

Headrush really tried for a redemption arc here. Still not blowing ToneX or Neural out of the water for clones any time soon on its own (maybe the Revalver superclone stuff might change that?) but definitely worth having another look for those who wrote HeadRush off at first. Also... Desktop editor. All I can say is, it's about time on that one. (I can forgive needing WiFi, even for venues with spotty Internet - how hard is it really to set up a hotspot these days?)

[@amerallic]

The Dyn delay is the equivalent to the digital delay that doesn't modulate the sound

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thanks for commenting. I tried that delay out as well but the first repeat is really loud. I'll have to mess with it some more.

[@michaelolz]

There are sounds in there some may hear as “shit”. However, there’s context to be found with everything. Maybe I don’t know enough.

[@metalmadsteve]

And the Again Delay would not have had the warbleing if you would have changed the chorus setting to zero instead of leaving it on 100.

[@borisv8766]

It's all good, but wasn't the big point of previous critique, that HR kept failing to clone one specific REVV from your collection? With other amps, HR cloning worked even back then, not as good as Tonex/QC, but still. But those particular REVV was just cursed for HR, and results were always very bad. I wonder if Prime now can finally clone those REVV, or it remains cursed amp for HR.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thanks for commenting. I totally forgot about that lol. I'll have to give that a try when I get a chance.

[@gmusiclarsen1163]

I thought the headrush algorithm fixed your amp as it sounded better to me. 😂

[@mattvdh]

the actual badlander sounded f awesome, the pedal sounded kind dull in comparison, imo.

[@rodneyguinn1887]

I tried HR prime also . The thing is they have the features i want but the way you use the unit feels clunky and the hardware just doesn’t feel right to me. I love the cloning, modeling, WiFi!! Bluetooth! Touch screen .. scribble strips .. i mean there’s so many pluses but when i use it i still don’t enjoy it . I feel like they have a lot to offer but need to work on the experience and i feel like others need to look at what HR slid offering in features .

[@krissmith2396]

I had the prime. Sent it back. Clones were ok better than the kemper player and tonex but the efx are horrendous. When doing the new clone, did you use the original cloning software or did you use that free revalver crap from peavey

[@Thrive-Off-Grid]

LOL same i just want a simple analog delay.

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Use the Pitch delay and set the pitch to 0. It’s a very warm sounding delay.

[@Thrive-Off-Grid]

@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios Perfect thank you. Just put it up for the night. Im having connection issues with the remote editor LOL. I think the server is struggling.

Let’s shred

[@arric2074]

One of your core sentences was ,".. not knowing what I'm doing...". You should really know a product before trying to do a video on it. 4 hours research is nothing for unit like this. Gives it a feel of creating content just for the sake of creating content. The mix was great.

[@bryanblackburn9673]

The size is too much considering it is built to be a master board that you can use to control the entire board with but it lacks the midi functionality that the helix has with its control center and so it is nowhere near as useful in a bigger rig with lots of pedals that use midi.
