Overview

Powerful guitar effects and amp modeler/vocal processor.

The HeadRush Core multi-effects processor pedal gives guitarists and vocalists an unlimited palette of world-class tones. Packed with premium emulations of vintage and modern amps, cabs, mics and stompboxes, the Core provides a huge range of realistic and responsive sounds. Its proprietary cloning technology enables you to capture and use models of your own analog gear. For singers, the Core offers vocal effects like the industry-leading Antares Auto-Tune. All of this is powered by an advanced processor for gapless switching between presets on the intuitive 7" touchscreen. Whether on stage or in the studio, the Core delivers an unparalleled experience.

Premium Guitar and Vocal Processing

The ever-expanding library of the Core contains meticulous emulations of cherished guitar and vocal gear with jaw-dropping accuracy and feel. Assembled by expert sound designers, the presets provide a palette ranging from vintage warmth to modern edge. Firmware updates add new sounds regularly via the built-in Wi-Fi. For vocals, the Core includes studio-grade effects like Antares Auto-Tune to polish your performance. This powerful processing is all packed into a rugged yet compact chassis loaded with connectivity.

Capture Your Analog Gear's Essence

The Core's smart cloning technology enables you to capture models of your own amps, preamps, pedals and more. The Amp Cloner feature precisely emulates the tone, dynamics and responsiveness of your gear. Cloning your equipment is an extremely fast process using the onscreen wizard. Once captured, your prized analog gear's sound is ready to use in the Core and be saved, edited and shared.

Practice and Perform with the Looper

The Core's looper offers up to five minutes of recording time, 20 minutes of overdubs, and the ability to save and sync loops via MIDI. You can also load songs directly from Dropbox over Wi-Fi to practice at your own pace. Slow down or change the pitch of sections, then build confidence by gradually increasing the speed. The Bluetooth connectivity lets you play along with tracks from your mobile device, opening up more ways to learn and perform.

Connectivity for Every Scenario

With extensive I/O, including USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and MIDI, the Core provides seamless connectivity for any situation. Load IRs and presets from your computer, stream music from your mobile device, sync effects with MIDI gear or capture the sound of your amp using the USB interface. The Core also features an effects loop, making it easy to integrate your favorite pedals. Whatever your needs, the Core has the connectivity to fulfill them.
