Headrush Core Guitar Multi-effect/Amp Modeler/Vocal Processor Unit

The HeadRush Core Guitar Multi-Effects Processor, Amp Modeler and Vocal Processor is an all-in-one creative platform for guitarists, bassists, vocalists, and performers. Featuring a 7" high-resolution touchscreen, native Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) support, direct TONE3000 access through HeadRush Cloud, and a comprehensive library of guitar and vocal effects, it combines amp modelling, tone cloning, vocal processing, looping, and recording tools in one compact, stage-ready unit.

Expanded Multi-NAM Rigs with Firmware 5.2: The free HeadRush Firmware 5.2 update expands the Core's native NAM A2 capabilities, allowing you to load up to two NAM A2 Full captures or four NAM A2 Lite captures in a single rig without conversion. Create true stereo NAM rigs with Stereo Doubling, switch between captures within a rig using Switch Doubling, or combine captured amplifiers, cabinets, pedals, and signal chains for flexible live and studio setups. Support for NAM A2 Calibration Metadata also honours input and output levels stored by compatible capture creators, helping deliver more accurate gain matching.

The intuitive 7" touchscreen makes it easy to build and edit guitar, bass, and vocal rigs using touch, swipe, and drag-and-drop controls. The integrated Amp Cloner captures the sound, dynamics, and feel of compatible amplifiers, preamps, distortion pedals, overdrive pedals, and fuzz pedals. Native NAM support, third-party impulse responses, and Convolution Reverb (C-Verb) files provide further options for creating customised tones.

The HeadRush Core includes a comprehensive library of amp, cabinet, microphone, guitar, and vocal effects, including Antares AutoTune®. Wi-Fi provides access to HeadRush Cloud for firmware updates, preset and clone sharing, and compatible community-created NAM captures through TONE3000. Bluetooth audio, Dropbox song practice tools, and the built-in drum machine provide additional options for learning songs, practising, and developing musical ideas.

Designed for performance and recording, the Core features five footswitches with customisable colour LEDs, a built-in looper with up to 20 minutes of layered audio, and a drum machine powered by Alesis Drums and BFD sounds. Its USB audio interface supports recording and reamping, while the stereo effects loop, MIDI connectivity, microphone input, and stereo XLR and 1/4" outputs make it easy to integrate with external pedals, amplifiers, and studio equipment.
