Headrush Pedal board. Eleven modeling

[Chris 71]

http://www.headrushelectronics.com/ looks like a killer interface, just hope it sounds as good

It's like an eleven rack and a helix had a baby HAHA!!!
Pretty interesting tho... I thought the eleven rack was a pretty good unit!!
I still have one and really like some of the amp tones!!

 

[dpeterson]

was just about to post that... looks nifty... quad core, touch screen, strips, gapless switching... touching a lot of pain points.

That touch screen and interface is killer!

It seems it will be priced lower than the AX8 and Helix.

Yep, as many many guitar player really don't care that much of the absolute best amp modeling quality, gapless switching is a real issue for many of them.

Looks cool. Thanks for sharing. Now for the sound...

The touch screen is something FAS should consider for the AX8 MK2

Love Sarah's psychedelic Strandberg.

I am looking forward to trying one of these out.

(but atm it doesn't seem to have a MarkIV or user IRs? That would be a disaster...)

Gapless is a key word for me.

 

[SoProg]

Yeah, gapless is huge. All the other extras would be nice, but gapless is the only thing that would make me consider jumping ship on my AX8.

Boo, no bass amp love in that unit at all. What's a bassist got to do to get the same level of variety of amp choices in a modeller as guitar players have?

According to their press release on gearslutz forum, it does allow user IR's.

Totally personal preference, but I don't care for the built-in expression pedal on any these units. I have a large foot, so I like a large pedal like the EV-1. I don't really have pain points with current AX8 design since I use fairly simple presets, but agreed this has some great ideas for the next-gen AX8.

Looks really cool. But we havent seen an actual sound demo apart from that trailer yet. I wonder about the quality of effects and routing options as well. I will definately consider this unit if it proves some quality tones.

I don't know, I'd be having nightmares about playing live with that large screen and not breaking it! The number of times gear has fallen on my stuff on stage is countless, the MFC is perfectly rugged and can take a good tour bashing very easily.

Agreed - I did a wild NYE house party with my newly cleaned gear on a new pedal train board. Typical result: it looked great for one gig. Unpacked at home and champagne and wine was splattered all over it - LOL. I'll take that over beer.

I need to get into pedal board design. I'd make something that handles extreme temps and liquids and has a gig-mode function to cover editing knobs. IMO, bending and tweaking a floor unit mid-gig just looks bad.

I wouldn't be too concerned about the display protection since todays smart phones can endure much worse treatment. I wouldn't easily switch to this thing just because of the nice display and seemless switching. Sound is still critical to me and above all a big community like this to benefit from.

That is an impressive looking display and UI.
