HeadRush 5.0 Software Update
One of the best things about HeadRush gear? It doesn’t just sound amazing out of the box — it keeps getting better. Regular updates mean your tones and performances are always levelling up. And the 5.0 Software Update is a big one. Here’s what’s in store:
- Built-in Drum Machine: 16 pro kits and 134 styles across 15 genres, crafted by the legendary sound designers from Alesis Drums & BFD. Enjoy foot-switchable fills, transitions and accents for dynamic performances. Plus, customisable Mix, EQ, Timbre and Groove controls for the perfect sound and feel. Even looper features work with it, so you can build ever greater looped performances.
- TIDAL Integration: Load any of TIDAL’s 110 million songs straight to the Practice Tool. Loop tricky sections, slow down fast passages without changing pitch and even transpose tracks without messing with the tempo. It’s perfect for learning your favourite riffs or nailing that solo.
- New Amps & FX: Play through 3 new ReValver amps (25 ON-1 Clean, Crunch & Lead), 2 new boutique overdrives (Jimmy OD and Palace OD), plus new and improved pitch FX (Up-Tune, Drop-Tune & Vocal Harmony).
But that’s not all — there are loads of quality-of-life upgrades too:
- Direct HeadRush Cloud access via Wi-Fi Remote Editor, for easier rig and clone sharing.
- Auto-Engage Expression Pedal Mode for hands-free bypass.
