Review: Fantastic Effects Processor - It's got loads of amps and effects that are way too complicated for my brain and cover all the bases well as far as I'm concerned. I find the user interface excellent being a touch screen and knob combination. It was very intuitive and didn't require looking at the manual at all. Important to me is that I wanted a built-in, well implemented looper. This is something that most reviews and YouTubes don't cover. Line 6 (Pod Go, HX Stomp) don't do good loopers in theirs. The Headrush has a permanent, always available looper - at the time of writing, my understanding is that Line 6 require you to place a looper block into the particular patch you're using. This takes up a processing slot and has to be done on a per patch basis. It is also limited to a max of 80 seconds. The Headrush looper is always available and can record up 50 layers up to 5 mins per layer and a total time of up to 20 mins I believe. You're free to change patches between recording layers. It's not a multi-functional looper like BOSS RC-500/600 devices but is great for capturing ideas. It can be connected to the laptop to allow loops to be moved either way. It doesn't have any built-in rhythms like some such as Zoom but you could transfer a WAV or MP3 drum beat via USB and have it as layer one of a loop. You could play stuff through the AUX In but having something controlled via the footswitches is better IMHO. For example, the WAV or MP3 could be an entire song minus your guitar bit which you can then jam/solo over and capture your genius as a new loop layer. You can also record as either pre- or post-processing which, if set to pre-, would allow you to record the clean signal so then when you play it back it will play through whatever the current patch is. This would allow you to take your riff and try out different patches without having to play it again and again. Yes, I would have liked a few more footswitches but that's the way it goes (you could pipe in a MIDI footswitch for some extra control but that'll probably cost you half as much again). The software allows you a lot of flexibility in how you want to configure the footswitches e.g. on/off stomps, patch changes, scene changes, set list changes. I like having the expression pedal. It doesn't get used much but I didn't want to have yet another external expression pedal hanging around when the occasional funk fix is required. Auto Wah is always terrible so the only way to get good wah-wah-ing is to use a pedal in my view so having it there is great. The pedal is small but has a very good movement and weight to it. Very solid (and tension can be adjusted). The whole device is nice and compact, very sturdily built and fits in a gig bag pocket a treat (the sticky out ones, not the flush zip ones). Personally, I couldn't be happier and wish I'd bought it sooner.
Review: The best compact multi effect pedal on the market - I was looking for a multi effect pedal & researched all the available models. I wanted something quite small but feature packed & one which had great amp models & effects. Upon finding the headrush, I saw it had a 5 minute looper, a practice mode, owner clones which they upload to the cloud, bluetooth & WiFi, basically an endless list of everything you could possibly need. I don't have anywhere local to try one out so looked online. Prices were all pretty similar & with it being pretty new, used ones weren't available. I did however get one here, that someone had returned, with a great saving. I paid £326 & this is an absolute bargain. Having used it, the retail price is a bargain for what this little box of tricks can do. It's easy to use, sounds fantastic & the headrush cloud has lots of available amps, rigs & pedals. You can basically have any sound you want, with the tech of a pedal. A recent update came out, version 4.1 with more effect pedals & a better cloning tool for those who want their amp sound in a box. All in all I'm delighted with my purchase. It has every function I could possibly need, it's built like a tank & small enough to put in a gig bag. With every guitar sound you can dream of, it's versatile for any application. I'd happily pay full price for one & if this one got stolen, I'd buy another right away.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best compact multi effect pedal on the market

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Massive sound from such a small unit.
*by J***. on 13 September 2021*

I have used the Line 6 Helix and Boss GT1000 which also sound amazing, but for some reason, I like the sound and workflow better of this. They have somehow shoved the same capabilities of the full size unit into this….how? I don’t know, but I love it. Throw it in a backpack and go. My only niggle is the power adapter- it seems a little cheap and flimsy, so if you are using it for gigging, be careful! Editing is a breeze and in my opinion, this unit has the most useful presets out of the box. If you like using a looper, Headrush excel In this department. All in all, a super unit!
