A complete rig and amp cloning powerhouse

This compact unit replaces multiple pedals and processors, providing everything from reverb and distortion to high-quality vocal effects, all at your fingertips. With the HeadRush Core, you can easily achieve a harmonious blend of guitar and vocal tones, creating a cohesive live or studio performance.

But the real standout feature is its Amp Cloner. This proprietary technology precisely captures the sound, dynamics, and feel of your favourite analogue gear. Any amp, any pedal, any microphone – the Amp Cloner can clone it, adding true-to-life emulations to your arsenal. This allows you to recreate the unique sound of your favourite gear, bringing an unprecedented level of authenticity to your performances. The HeadRush Core truly embodies ultimate versatility and convenience in one powerful unit.

Its high fidelity colour screen and pedal imagery makes it easy to see your current rig at a glance, without getting lost in a sea of menus.

Best in class looper

The HeadRush Core is equipped with a powerful looper that allows you to effortlessly create and layer sounds. With the ability to capture loops up to 5 minutes long and 20 minutes of total audio per loop, you can easily save and load your own loops to capture inspiration whenever it strikes. Additionally, you can sync the looper to other devices like drum machines via MIDI, expanding your creative possibilities. The intuitive looper control makes it accessible for musicians of all skill levels to use, offering features like undo/redo, quick tempo and loop length adjustments.

Simple to use with multiple connectivity options

The Core is equipped to seamlessly integrate into any setup thanks to its array of connectivity options. Create clones, share/download presets, and update firmware with ease thanks to direct WiFi capability. In addition to its wide array of guitar and microphone I/O, you're also equipped with 1/4" XLR, MIDI and headphone outputs to suit any stage or scenario.

It boasts five customisable footswitches, each with colour LEDs, ensuring easy navigation during live performances. This rugged unit is not just durable but offers the flexibility needed by modern musicians.

Moreover, the HeadRush Core doubles as a USB Audio interface, enabling direct recording and re-amping on Mac or PC.
