Headrush Core Multi Effects / Amp Modeller

I want to start playing at church and doing more gigs. I'm a versatile guitar player from percussive fingerstyle to classical to rnb to neo soul to math rock to contemporary to jazz and I sing as well. This let's me do all that and a mic IO for live gigs is just amazing! #sweepstakes

I've owned an 11 Rack for several years and always loved the sound quality of the unit. The HeadRush takes all that and makes significant improvements. I A/B'd the HeadRush against the 11R and yes, they are similar but there are definite improvements to the sound with the amp models sounding more natural without the need for added EQ. The dynamic response is also improved allowing very expressive picking responses to shine through and backing off the guitar volume cleans up all but the most high gain amp models very well.Editing is where the HeadRush really shines through - everything is quick, intuitive and fun! The immediate results from dragging and dropping modules to different positions without having to enter menus or dive into computer editing programs has ... MoreI've owned an 11 Rack for several years and always loved the sound quality of the unit.

The immediate results from dragging and dropping modules to different positions without having to enter menus or dive into computer editing programs has to be experienced to realise how much better this system is. Hands-free editing is a breeze and makes on-stage tweaks simple and quick.The ability to import 3rd party IR's allows even more control over your end tone as speaker cabinet modelling is just as important as the quality of the amp & effect models.The unit is built like a tank and reasonably large so it is heavy but you forget all that when you see that magnificent 7" touch screen!Overall, a significant improvement in all areas to the already capable 11R and a unit I would wholeheartedly recommend.

I recently upgraded from the Gigboard to the Core and I'm definitely pleased. Models seem to have more depth and dynamics. I haven't had an opportunity to try the vocals, so I cannot comment on that functionality. The wifi and Bluetooth connectivity options are very handy and have worked well for me so far.
