Headrush Prime First Look - Everything you need to know & Overview

Headrush Prime First Look - Everything you need to know
This board literally does it all. It has amp capturing, a practice program, an advanced looper, seamless switching, scenes, scribble strips, recording interface, touch screen, dual press on all buttons, hands free tweaking and much more. I don't think any floorboard on the market can compete with the wide range of what this Headrush can do!

Headrush + Profiling + More DSP + Vocals + Wifi
And the biggest feature we've all been asking for: the pedals look like the pedals on the rig screen 😍

Finally. I needed 16 scenes years ago. Not a joke. Glad someone did it.

[alexradsby]

Holy shit. This thing definitely brings a lot to the table. More musician focused than guitar focused, that's really nice to be honest.

This device will get lots of buyers for sure 👍👍

This is clearly the best Prime review, hence the big viewer numbers. Steve, could you consider doing a follow-up that focuses on scenes and songs, various modes, and setting it up for gigging. I think alot of us have our Prime sounding awesome, but I see alot of confusion, inc me, about how to setup scenes and songs, assigning to the footswitches, various modes, and how to best set it up for a progression of presets for a gig. I see alot of guys confused at this aspect on the Prime. This was such a great review for us Prime owners, we would love a follow-up (once you get back from Europe). Thank you again Steve. 🎸

So many cool features, great guitar playing by the way! I couldn't see the screen readouts very well, I guess that's super tricky to film. But thanks for such a great video. You rock!!!

[stickman]

Your reviews are so balanced and thorough! You’re just tremendous!

[nafir-chlis]

Sounds like a great unit. I have been using the headrush pedalboard for about 3 years now. Those stock presets sound awesome. I am most excited about the vocal effects.

After just getting back into playing with a band, I have taken the plunge and purchased the Prime and the 108 FRFR. This is an excellent overview of the product and I am now very excited to start playing with the Prime and jamming with the band.

Uhhh….I can’t breathe right now! Being a current owner, I am soo excited for this! I knew something new was on the way from HR but I didn’t know was gunna be soo soon and soo freakin extensive. Great review man!🤙🏾😎😎

[shredding]

Headrush setup i’ve always liked more then any of these units. Very easy to use and the layout is perfect

[GuitarTabsDaily]

Awesome review buddy! Can’t wait to play one 🤘

[hanovergreen]

Greetings Steve! Hey! Congratulations on the Sweetwater gig! That is prime visibility for Jessica and get some much deserved attention. Best Regards and Best Wishes! It's only $1, 300!!!! Wow.

[AngelMartinez-qscf]

You're right on target on the editor! For me this is a must have!!

[Bridging_the_Political_Divide]

Great review. Usability is what Headrush always nailed, and they sound "good". Tracii Guns did the entire last LA Guns album on a Headrush pedalboard. People forget you have to tweak....on any effects unit. Killer tones here!! 💪

In terms of usability, workflow and GUI, I think the Headrush Prime has nailed it. And with all the new extras (vocals/auto-tune, profiler, number of foot switches, etc) this is now a monster modeller. In terms of sound, it sounds great but I'd prefer to hear it in the flesh before passing any judgment - YT is not the best medium. I am sorely tempted to buy one. I know a lot of people are going to say it's too big but quite honestly I think that's being picky. Given the fact that the GUI is brilliant, you won't need to hook it up to a PC. As for taking it on the road - come one, it's not a deal-breaker.

[plexidust]

You really did a great Job Steve and your playing shined through this unit. I'm very interested !

[robertranford]

Great quick review Steve! Gotta say I’m impressed with the features! The hands free editing is a great one. I agree that it needs to have a desktop editor.

[jdubbs]

Thank you for this review Steve. I look forward to more. I think this unit could really mature into something we have all been looking forward to in a working man's price point.

Was a Headrush pedalboard beta tester for the past few years and recently sold the board, it was time to move on. May have to get back on the train. Thanks for the video!
