Basic Operations
Tap its footswitch to activate or deactivate it.
Turn the parameter knobs to adjust these parameters. When a model is selected, tap anywhere in this column to show the next three parameters.
Important: The sequence of models in your signal chain is not necessarily reflected in the footswitches. You can freely assign models to available footswitches without changing your signal chain at all—and vice versa. See
to learn about this.
To assign a model (amp, cab, or effect) to an empty slot, tap it ( ) and then use the list that appears. See
Rigs > Creating a New Rig to learn about this.
To delete a model, tap and drag it to the bottom of the touchscreen over the Drag Here
to Delete bar that appears.
To show a model’s parameters on the right edge of the screen, tap the model so it is outlined in green. You can then turn the parameter knobs to adjust the parameters to their left. Tap anywhere in the column of those three parameters to show the next three (if the model has more than three parameters).
When no model is selected, these parameters will be ones that you assign in the
To rearrange the models in your signal
chain, tap and drag a model to another slot or between two other models (the ones after that position will shift one slot further down the signal chain).
8
To show a model’s settings screen, double-tap it. Its settings screen will appear with its preset menu, parameters, and assigned color.
To activate or deactivate a model, press the footswitch assigned to it, or tap the model’s footswitch in the display.
To switch an amp and/or cab between a dual and single
configuration, tap the 2X button next to it.
To load another rig (preset), do any of the following:
• Press the upper-left (Rig ) or lower-left (Rig )
footswitch to load the previous or next rig immediately.
• Tap the name of the rig on the screen, and then tap the or next to it.
• Tap the name of the rig on the screen and then turn the encoder.
• Tap the magnifying-glass icon in the upper-left corner, and use the virtual keyboard that appears to enter a search term (e.g., part of the rig name). The results will appear below. Tap a result to load that rig.
To create a new rig, tap the button in the upper-right corner, and then tap New Rig.
To delete the current rig, tap the button in the upperright corner, and then tap Delete Rig, and then tap Yes to continue or No to cancel.
Reverb/Delay Tail Spillover
If you have a reverb or delay effect active on your rig and then switch to a different rig, the reverb or delay will continue to decay after switching to the second rig.
This feature is unavailable if you are using an effects loop or if you are using USB audio.
To enable or disable this feature for the current rig, tap Tail on the main screen. Alternatively, press and hold the upper-left (Rig
) footswitch for one second.
9
Signal Path
You can easily reconfigure the path of your signal chain to split, creating more complex routings.
To reconfigure the signal path, tap at the bottom of the main screen. The icon will change to match the current signal path as shown below.
This straight signal path is the default and the most common.
This signal path splits in the middle and rejoins near the end. This configuration is useful if you want to use two types of effects (or chains of effects) but want to keep their signals separate.
to learn how to mix the split paths together.
This signal path splits immediately from the source and rejoins near the end. Like the second configuration, this one is useful for using two types of effects (or chains of effects independently, but it allows for more models in the split paths and the rejoined one.
to learn how to mix the split paths together.
10
Stereo vs. Mono
The outgoing signal from the HeadRush Pedalboard can be mono or stereo, depending on the models in your rig, the signal path, and which outputs you are using. An indicator near the end of the signal path indicates the current configuration.
The signal will be stereo if you do any one of the following:
• Use any stereo effect model in your signal chain. Even if you have placed mono effect models after it. (This is possible because the mono effect is simply applied identically to both channels and not summed.)
• Use a split signal path, even if the split paths rejoin before the output.
• Use a double-amp and/or double-cab configuration (i.e., if 2X is on).
The signal will be mono if you do all of the following:
• Use no stereo effect models in your signal chain.
• Use the linear (not split) signal path.
• Use only single-amp and single-cab configurations, if you use an amp or cab model at all.
Alternatively, the signal will be mono if you do any one of the following:
• Use only the L/Mono output (of a stereo pair) on the rear panel.
• Reduce the Rig Width output setting to 0%.
To adjust the width of the stereo field, tap the Out icon at the end of your signal path, and turn the third parameter knob to adjust the Rig Width output setting. This affects stereo signals only, not mono signals. 100% uses the full stereo field, while 0% produces a mono signal.
11
Views
The eight middle footswitches can be used to activate or bypass models (amps, cabs, or effects) as well as select rigs or setlists. These footswitches are always in one of four views: Stomp View, Rig View, Hybrid View, and

Rigs
While using the HeadRush Pedalboard, a rig is a preset: the combination of assigned models—the amps, cabs, and effects—and the parameter settings of each of them. You can create, edit, save, and load rigs, making it easy to recall the perfect sound for each part of your performance.
Each rig has 11 slots, each of which can have one model (amp, cab, or effect) assigned to it. An exception is when a slot is using an amp and/or cab in a dual configuration (when the 2X button next to it is enabled).
Assigned slots will show graphical representations of the models, and empty slots will show a symbol.
Creating a New Rig
To create a new rig, tap the button in the upper-right corner of the screen, and tap New Rig.
To assign a model (amp, cab, or effect) to an empty slot:
1.
Tap the empty slot ().
2.
In the list that appears, tap the type of model you want to assign: Amp, Cab, or effect (Custom IR, Distortion,
Dynamics/EQ, Modulation, Reverb/Delay, FX-Loop, or
Expression).
3.
In the list that appears, tap the model you want to assign.
4.
In the next list that appears, tap the preset you want to load for that model.
If you are loading an impulse response (IR) file, you can select one that is truncated to 1024 samples, which are less DSPintensive, freeing up more resources to load and use additional models and/or IRs to your rigs.
To load a truncated IR, select the IR 1024 model instead of the normal setting when adding an IR to your rig.
If you load an amp or cab to a slot with an empty adjacent slot, the first selectable cab or amp will be loaded automatically to the other slot. After that, you can configure them independently: you can separate them in the signal chain, you can change the type of the amp or cab, and you can delete each model separately.
Model types: amps, cabs & effects

Optimizing Your Signal Chain
The signal chain is the path that the audio signal follows from your guitar through your selected models and ends at the outputs of the HeadRush Pedalboard. You can use the touchscreen to arrange your selected models in any sequence, but you may find that some configurations will sound better than others.
Here are some common model placement suggestions for creating great rigs with the HeadRush Pedalboard:
• Dynamics (e.g., compressors), filters (e.g., wah, pitch shifters), and volume pedals generally are placed at the beginning of the signal chain. Alternatively, you can place volume pedals at the end of the signal chain to provide a slight variance in functionality.
• Gain-based effects (e.g., overdrive/distortion, fuzz) usually come next.
• Equalization (EQ) is often used to shape the tonal characteristics of overdrive/distortion and fuzz effects, so put an EQ after them. Alternatively, place it before them to shape the guitar’s general tone—cutting unwanted frequencies—before the gain pedals.
• Modulation effects like flangers, phasers, and chorus are typically placed next.
• Time-based effects like delays and reverbs are generally placed near the end of the signal chain.
• An amp and a cab are often placed at the very end of the signal chain, although you can place it wherever you want.
Saving a Rig
If you have made certain changes to a rig, you will see an asterisk ( ) next to its name at the top of the screen, indicating that you have changed the rig in some way and may want to save it.
You will see an asterisk if you have done any of the following:
• assigned a model to the rig
• deleted a model from the rig
• moved a model in the signal chain
• changed a model’s preset (see
to learn more)
• made any change in the Hardware Assign screen (see
to learn more)
Activating or deactivating a model, using the parameter knobs on any screen, or using the expression pedal on any screen will not cause the asterisk to appear.
You can save these changes to this rig, save these changes as another rig, or discard them altogether.
14
If the asterisk is shown and you try to load a different rig, you will be asked to select one of these options:
Cancel: This option returns to the previous screen without saving the current rig or loading a new rig.
Discard Changes: This option loads a new rig without saving any changes to the previous rig.
Save as a New Rig: This option lets you save the current rig as a new rig. In the screen that appears, use the keyboard that appears to enter a name, and then tap
Save. That rig will be saved, and the new rig will load.
Save Changes to Rig: This options saves any changes you made to the rig and then loads the new rig.
Note: Select Do not show this dialog again in the message to disable these confirmation messages. You can re-enable
them in the Global Settings screen (see Global Settings ).
To save a rig, tap Save in the upper-right corner.
To save your changes to the current rig, tap Save.
To save your changes as a new rig, tap Save New Rig, use the keyboard that appears to enter a name, and then tap Save.
To return to the previous screen without saving, tap
Cancel at any time.
To rename a rig, tap the button in the upper-right corner, and then tap Edit Rig Name.
To discard any changes you’ve made to the rig, tap the button in the upper-right corner, and tap Discard Changes.
Deleting a Rig
To delete the current rig, tap the button in the upper-right corner, and then tap Delete Rig, and then tap Yes to continue or No to cancel.

16
Parameters
These are some of the parameters that you can adjust for each type of item in a rig. This includes amps, cabs, effects, input settings, output settings, and mix settings (if you are using a split signal path). See
to learn how to save your preset after adjusting its parameters.
Amp
The Amp category is a list of popular guitar amplifiers.
Preset: This is the current amp preset, which includes the model, all of its settings, and its color assignment.
Model: This is the amp model.
Amp Settings: These are the settings for the selected amp model (different models may have more or fewer settings).
Cab Link: This setting determines whether or not a specific cab and microphone is associated with the amp.
When this is set to Off, any cab and microphone used in the current rig will be completely independent of the amp you select. When this is set to On, a specific cab and microphone combination will be used if you change the amp’s Preset setting or if you load a new amp to the rig.
You can change the cab and microphone manually afterward by adjusting the parameters of the cab model.
Color: This is the assigned color, which will appear in the Hardware Assign screen and the switch indicator if the amp is assigned to a switch.
Cab
The Cab category is a list of popular amp cabinets, which contain the speakers. The HeadRush Pedalboard recreates not only the sound of the cabinet but also the type of microphone recording it.
Preset: This is the current cab preset, which includes the model, all of its settings, and its color assignment.
Cab Type: This is the cab type. Numbers notated as
_X__ indicate the number of speakers it has and the size of each speaker (e.g., 2X12 denotes a cab with two
12-inch speakers, 4X10 denotes a cab with four 10inch speakers). Numbers notated as __W indicate the emulated wattage (output power) of the speaker.
Mic Type: This is the type of microphone being used on the cab. You can select different models of dynamic
(Dyn), condenser (Cond), or ribbon (Ribbon) microphones.
Mic Settings: These are the settings for the microphone:
Break Up: This determines the amount of speaker “breakup”—the natural distortion that occurs when the audio signal overdrives the speaker.
On-Axis: This determines the microphone position relative to the cab. On-axis placement (On) positions the microphone at the center of the speaker, usually resulting in a brighter sound with more definition. Off-axis placement (Off) is slightly offset at and angle from the center of the speaker and often sounds darker in tone.
Out Gain: This is the cab’s output gain level.
Color: This is the assigned color, which will appear in the Hardware Assign screen and the switch indicator if the cab is assigned to a switch.
17
Effects
There are several types of available effects. Their adjustable settings depend on the type of effect.
In
These input settings control the signal into the models of your rig:
Preset: This is the current input preset, which includes its settings on the right edge of the display and its locked/unlocked state.
Parameters: This menu determines whether these input settings are locked or unlocked.
When unlocked, the settings will change to the new rig’s input settings each time you load a new rig. The lock icon on the main screen will be grey.
When locked, the settings will be retained as
“global” input settings, regardless of the rig. The lock icon on the main screen will be red.
Rig Input: This setting determines whether the rig’s input signal is taken from the guitar input (Guitar) or the right (R) return input (FX Ret R). This menu is shown only when Rig Input is set to Per Rig (in the global
settings (see Global Settings to learn about this).
Input Level Meter: This level meter indicates the current level of your input signal before the input controls shown on this screen.
Gain: This setting controls the gain level of the signal sent from your guitar into your rig. The available range is
-60.0 to 12.0 dB.
Gate Thrsh (Threshold): This setting controls the signal level required to open the noise gate, enabling the guitar signal to be sent to the rig. The available range is -120.0 to 0.0 dB. The threshold is represented by a white line on the input level meter.
Gate Rel (Release): This setting controls the amount of time it will take for the noise gate to close once the incoming guitar signal stops. The available range is 1–3000 ms.
USB Level: This setting controls the level of the audio signal sent from your computer to the HeadRush
Pedalboard over a USB connection. The available range is -60.0 to 12.0 dB.
18
Out
These output settings control the signal sent to the HeadRush
Pedalboard outputs:
Preset: This is the current output preset, which includes its settings on the right edge of the display.
Rig Output: This level meter indicates the current level of your output signal after the output controls shown on this screen. You can set which outputs will send this
signal in the Global Settings screen. See Global Settings
to learn about this.
Alternate Output: This level meter indicates the current level of your output signal. You can set which outputs will send this signal in the Global Settings screen. The To
Amp Gain setting controls the level of this signal unless the Alternate Output source is set to Rig Input. See
Global Settings to learn about this.
Rig Vol (Volume): This setting controls the level of the audio signal sent from the outputs. The available range is -60.0 to 36.0 dB.
To Amp Gain: This setting controls the gain level of the signal of the Alternate Output unless the Alternate Output
Rig Width: This setting controls how much of the stereo field the output signal uses. 100% uses the full stereo field, while 0% produces a mono signal. This affects stereo signals only, not mono signals. See
to learn how the HeadRush Pedalboard handles stereo and mono signals.
Mix
These settings control mix of a split signal path. This is
available only for rigs with split signal paths (see Main Screen
Preset: This is the current mix preset, which includes its settings on the right edge of the display.
A Lev / B Lev (Level): These settings control the volume levels the upper (A) and lower (B) branches of the signal path. The range is -60.0 dB to +12.0 dB.
A Pan / B Pan: These settings control the panning (position in the stereo field) the upper (A) and lower (B) branches of the signal path. The range is -100% to +100%.
A/B Delay: This setting controls a timing offset between the upper (A) and lower (B) branches of the signal path. The range is -30000μs to +30000μs. If the value is negative (-), the A branch is delayed. If the value is positive (+), the B branch is delayed.

To set the tempo of the rig’s time-based effects (delays, modulation, etc.), tap the button under Tempo to select Current or Fixed.
Current: The rig will use the last-used tempo or the one set by the Tempo footswitch.
To set the tempo, press the Tempo footswitch (the lower-right-most one) at the desired tempo 3–8 times to set the new tempo in beats per minute (BPM). You can do this anytime that footswitch display shows Tempo.
Fixed: The rig will use a tempo that you set here.
To set the tempo, turn the encoder to set the desired tempo in beats per minute (BPM). You can set the tempo only in this Hardware Assign screen.
The MIDI Prog field determines the MIDI program change number of the rig. Use the Prog Change setting in the
Global Settings screen to determine whether the HeadRush Pedalboard can send and/or receive MIDI program
change messages (see Global Settings > MIDI Settings
for more information).
To set the MIDI program change number, turn the encoder to select it (0–127).
Important: If a rig is using a number, that number will be unavailable and cannot be assigned to another rig. Also, saving a rig with a new name will save the rig but without this program change number (to prevent rigs from sharing the same number).
20
Footswitches
The eight boxes in the lower-left corner represent the middle eight footswitches of the HeadRush Pedalboard.
You can assign any switch-based parameters (ones with only two states) to any of the footswitches—regardless of their location in the signal chain.
To assign a parameter to a footswitch:
1.
Tap a box. indicates an empty box.
2.
In the list that appears, tap the model with the parameter you want to assign.
3.
In the list that appears, tap the parameter you want to assign. Usually, the parameter will simply be On (to activate or deactivate it).
Tap Unassigned to unassign that footswitch.
4.
On the Hardware Assign screen, tap Toggle/Hold/Scene for that footswitch to cycle through the available options:
When set to Toggle, each press will turn the model on or off.
When set to Hold, pressing and holding the footswitch will activate it, and releasing the footswitch will deactivate it.
When set to Scene, each press will turn a scene on or off. A scene is a collection of “linked” models in the rig—all of which will simultaneously turn on or off when you press that scene’s footswitch. See the
section to learn about this feature.
To swap two assignments, tap and drag one of them over the other, and then release it.
To edit the text displayed above the footswitch, tap the text in the box below the model name, use the virtual keyboard that appears to enter a name, and then tap anywhere other than the text field.
21
Scenes
The Scene feature allows you to turn multiple models on or off in each rig. When you press the footswitch assigned to that scene, all models included in that scene will turn on or off, depending on how you assign them.
This is a great way to create multiple tones in the same rig. For instance, you may want a particular reverb model to be on anytime a particular distortion model is also on. Alternatively, you may want to turn one delay model off when you turn another one on. Scenes enable you to do this with only one footswitch press.
To create and edit a scene:
1.
On the Hardware Assign screen, tap Toggle/Hold/Scene for the desired footswitch to cycle through the available options, and select Scene.
2.
On that model, tap Edit. The Scene Editor will appear, which shows all models in your rig.
3.
For each model in the rig, tap it to cycle through the available options:
On: This model will turn on when you turn the scene on.
Off: This model will turn off when you turn the scene on.
No Change: This model will remain unaffected when you turn the scene on.
4.
Tap a color at the bottom of the touchscreen to select a color for the scene.
5.
Tap the button in the upper-left corner to return to the
Hardware Assign screen.
To rename a scene (which appears in the footswitch indicators), tap the text in the box below Edit on the model, use the virtual keyboard that appears to enter a name, and then tap anywhere other than the text field.
Quick Parameters
The right edge of the screen shows a column of fields for three parameters. These are the three parameters that are shown first whenever you load a rig. When no model is selected on the main screen, you can turn the three parameter knobs to adjust these parameters. You can assign any continuous parameters to these knobs (parameters with a range of values rather than ones with only
“on” and “off” states).
To assign a parameter to a parameter knob:
1.
Tap the field to which you want to assign a parameter. indicates an empty field.
2.
In the list that appears, tap the model with the parameter you want to assign. You can also select parameters for the incoming signal (Input) or outgoing signal (Output).
3.
In the list that appears, tap the parameter you want to assign.
Tap Unassigned to unassign that parameter knob.
22
Expression Pedal
The expression pedal can control two parameters (in Classic Mode) or two sets of parameters (in Advanced
Mode). Use the toe switch to switch between them—Expression Pedal A or B.
To activate the toe switch, move the “toe end” of the expression pedal so it touches the pedalboard, and then press down. The expression pedal status LED will indicate A or B.
The column of four boxes represents the expression pedal settings. You can assign one or more continuously adjustable parameters (ones with a range of values) to the expression pedal.
To set the expression pedal mode, tap the button above Range in the upper-right corner to select Classic or Advanced.
Classic: You can assign one parameter to each expressional pedal (A and
B). Using the toe switch will select the other expression pedal and deactivate
(bypass) the current expression pedal’s parameter. For instance, if you assign a wah pedal to Expression Pedal A and a volume pedal to Expression
Pedal B, only one of them will be active at any time; when you are controlling the wah pedal, the volume pedal will be bypassed, and vice versa.
Advanced: You can assign up to four parameters to each expression pedal
(A and B). Moving the pedal will adjust all of its assigned parameters simultaneously. Using the toe switch will select the other expression pedal and leave the current pedal’s parameters active and at their maximum values.
Important: You cannot edit any parameters assigned to the expression pedal in Classic Mode (they will show a lock icon and be greyed out in other screens to indicate this). You can edit any parameters assigned to the expression pedal in Advanced Mode (they will show a pedal icon in other screens to indicate this).
To assign a parameter to the expression pedal:
1.
If the Assign button is not on, tap it.
2.
Tap a box under the Assign button. indicates an empty box.
3.
In the list that appears, tap the model with the parameter you want to assign.
4.
In the list that appears, tap the parameter you want to assign.
Tap Unassigned to unassign that box.
To swap two assignments (while in Advanced Mode), tap and drag one of them over the other, and then release it.
To set the range of an assigned parameter:
1.
If the Range button is not on, tap it.
2.
Tap a value under the Range button.
3.
Turn the encoder to set the desired value as a percentage of the parameter’s entire range. Press the encoder or tap elsewhere to confirm the value.
23
Setlists
You can use setlists to organize your rigs. A setlist is a saved collection of rigs, which you can save and recall at a later time. This is useful, for instance, if you only need some of your rigs for a performance; you can save a setlist of just those rigs so you don’t have to spend time searching through all of your rigs before playing the next song.
To view your setlists, tap the ≡ button in the upper-left corner of the main screen. The Setlists screen will appear.
To return to the main screen, tap the button in the upper-left corner.
To create a setlist:
1.
Tap New in the upper-right corner.
2.
In the screen that appears, the left half is a list of all available rigs, and the right half is the list of rigs in the setlist.
To add a rig to the setlist, tap it to add it to the end of the list. Alternatively, tap and hold it, and then drag it to the desired location in the list. You can add the same rig to a setlist more than once. The [Empty ] rig in the lower-left corner is a slot to use as a placeholder to make rearranging the setlist easier; it will not be available as a selectable rig when moving through rigs in the setlist.
To rearrange the setlist, tap and hold a rig in the list on the right half, and then drag it to the desired location in the list.
To remove a rig from the setlist, tap the on its right edge.
To save a setlist, tap Save in the upper-right corner.
To save your changes to the current setlist, tap Save.
To save your changes as a new setlist, tap Save New
Setlist, use the keyboard that appears to enter a name, and then tap Save.
(At any time) To return to the previous screen without
saving, tap Cancel.
To discard any changes you’ve made to the setlist, tap the button in the upper-left corner, and tap Discard
Changes.
24
To load a setlist:
1.
While viewing the main screen, tap the ≡ button in the upper-left corner to view the Setlists screen. Each setlist will show the number of rigs in parentheses (including multiple instances of the same rig).
2.
Optional: Tap the magnifying-glass icon in the upperleft corner, and use the virtual keyboard that appears to enter a search term (e.g., part of the setlist name). The results will appear below.
3.
Tap the desired setlist. The first rig of that setlist will load immediately. Tap All Rigs to view all rigs instead of a specific setlist.
To edit a setlist, tap the button on its left side, and then tap the pencil icon. You will see the same screen you used to create the setlist, where you can edit and save it.
To delete a setlist, tap the button on its left side, and then tap the trash can icon. Tap Yes to confirm the deletion or Cancel to return to the Setlists screen without deleting it.
Hands-Free Mode
Hands-Free Mode enables you to adjust any of the settings on your models by using just the footswitches and expression pedal.
To enter Hands-Free Mode, press and hold a footswitch assigned to a model for over one second. While in Hands-
Free Mode, the screen will show a single parameter and its value, and the top six footswitches will correspond to six parameters of that model.
To exit Hands-Free Mode, press the lower-left most (Exit)
footswitch.
To change the value, move the expression pedal.
To fine-tune the value incrementally, use the lower-right two
(– or +) footswitches.
To show another parameter, press the corresponding footswitch. If that model has more than six parameters, press the lower-middle two ( or ) footswitches to show the previous or next six parameters.
If you are using a double-amp and/or double-cab configuration
(2X), use the 1 2 footswitch to switch between the two.
25
Looper
The HeadRush Pedalboard has a built-in looper that you can use to layer your performances. While the looper’s operation is shown in the display, you can control most of it conveniently with the footswitches.
The looper can hold up to 20 minutes of audio at a time across a maximum of 100 layers.
This meter indicates your current location in the loop during recording or playback.
This indicates the current speed of the loop as a multiple or fraction of the original.
This indicates how many layers are playing in the current loop, including the original.
Rig name.
This indicates the direction of playback.
This controls how much of the looper’s signal you hear in the outputs.
This controls how much of the looper’s signal is routed back through it when recording another layer.
This indicates the length of the current loop.
This indicates whether the looper is located before (Pre) or after (Post) your signal chain. Moving the looper to the
Pre position enables you to edit your rig without having to play the same riff over and over again.
To record the first layer of a loop, press the Record footswitch. Recording will begin immediately and the footswitch indicator will light red. Press the Record footswitch again to stop recording and start loop playback.
The footswitch is now called Overdub and the footswitch indicator is yellow.
To record additional layers onto the loop (overdub), press the Overdub footswitch. Overdubbing will begin immediately and the footswitch indicator will light red. Press the Overdub footswitch again to stop overdubbing and continue playback.
To erase the top-most (last-added) layer of the loop, press the Peel footswitch. The top-most layer of the loop will be erased immediately. This process is destructive, so you can’t re-add it later.
To record over a section of the top-most (last-added) layer (like a punch-in/punch-out function), press the
Insert footswitch. Recording will begin immediately and the footswitch indicator will light red. Press the Insert footswitch again to stop recording and continue playback. This overwrites that section of the top-most layer.
To halve or double the length of the loop, press the 1/2 Loop or 2X Loop footswitch, respectively. The loop’s relative length is shown in the Loop Length field. The halving process is non-destructive, so you can restore your original loop and its content by pressing 2X Loop.
26
To halve or double the speed of the looper, press the 1/2 Speed or 2X Speed footswitch, respectively. The loop’s relative speed is shown in the Speed field.
Tip: Use this to create low bass lines or ultra-high guitar parts that you couldn’t play ordinarily.
To reverse looper playback, press the Reverse footswitch. The looper’s current playback direction is shown in the Playback field.
Tip: Create eerie effects by recording layers in reverse then switching back to normal playback.
To mute or unmute the looper, press the Mute footswitch.
To set the looper’s location, turn the third parameter knob (Loc) to place it before (Pre) or after (Post) the signal chain. Moving the looper to the Pre position enables you to edit your rig without having to play the same riff over and over again
To exit the looper and return to the main screen, press the Exit footswitch. If the looper is playing, playback will continue. Press and hold the Looper footswitch for one second to stop looper playback without re-entering the looper.
You can re-enter the looper by simply pressing the Looper footswitch again.
Tip: Use this feature to create different effect configurations (adjust parameters, activate/deactivate models, etc.) for each layer, creating a multi-textured performance. You can also switch rigs while using the looper and use a different rig for each layer.

USB
You can use the HeadRush Pedalboard’s USB connection to your computer for
(e.g., rigs, setlists, presets, etc.), Recording
(to a digital audio workstation [DAW]), or
Transferring Files & Settings
Over a USB connection, you can transfer rig, setlist, model preset, and/or impulse response (IR) files between your computer and the HeadRush Pedalboard.
We recommend creating a backup copy of your files to your computer before you make any changes.
Important:
Do not disconnect or power off the HeadRush Pedalboard during the process.
Any unsupported files will be ignored.
You cannot transfer a folder or .zip/archive folder to/from
HeadRush Pedalboard. Instead, transfer any supported files directly.
We recommend organizing the file structure of your rigs, setlists, model presets, and/or impulse response files on your computer so that it’s identical to the file structure as shown on the HeadRush Pedalboard “drive.”
To transfer files between the HeadRush Pedalboard and your computer:
1.
Connect your computer to the HeadRush Pedalboard’s USB port using a standard USB cable.
2.
With your computer powered on, power on the HeadRush Pedalboard using the power switch.
3.
Tap the button in the upper-right corner of the screen, and tap Global Settings.
4.
In the Global Settings screen, tap the button in the upper-right corner of the screen, and tap USB Transfer.
On your computer, the HeadRush Pedalboard will appear as a mass-storage device called HeadRush.
Windows users: If this is the first time you’ve connected it to this computer, you may need to wait a minute while it installs the class-compliant drivers.
5.
Open the HeadRush drive. You can now freely click and drag contents between HeadRush and your computer. Note that any changes you make to the contents of your HeadRush will not be final until after the next step, but any changes you make to the files on your computer are immediate.
Tip: During this step, you can add an image to use with the Screen Lock feature. See Screen Lock to learn more.
6.
To apply your changes to the contents of HeadRush, tap Sync. This will “commit” any changes you made.
As the HeadRush Pedalboard analyzes and imports the files, a meter on the display will indicate its progress.
The normal Global Settings screen will reappear when the process is finished.
To cancel your changes the contents of HeadRush, tap
in the upper-left corner. This will cancel any changes you made. Any changes you made to files on your computer will remain, though.
31
Recording
When the HeadRush Pedalboard’s USB port is connected to your computer, you can select and use the
HeadRush Pedalboard as a 24-bit audio interface, enabling you to play audio through it or to send its audio signal to the computer. It can use sample rates of 48 kHz or 96 kHz.
Important Note for Windows Users: Before connecting the HeadRush Pedalboard to your computer, download the necessary drivers from headrushfx.com/support and install them.
To use the HeadRush Pedalboard as an audio interface with your computer, open your computer’s Control
Panel (Windows) or System Preferences (Mac OS X), open its sound/audio settings, and select HeadRush
Pedalboard as the device for recording/input and/or for playback/output.
The HeadRush Pedalboard can send four separate audio signal channels to your computer. Before recording the
HeadRush Pedalboard’s audio signal into your digital audio workstation (DAW), select the channel/channels you want to record:
1: the left channel of the master outputs with all active effects applied.
2: the right channel of the master outputs with all active effects applied.
3: a mono channel of the guitar input with no effects applied.
4: identical audio signal to 3.
The HeadRush Pedalboard can receive four separate audio signal channels from your computer. The channels are named and routed as follows:
1: the left channel of your computer’s output audio signal, which will be sent directly out of the HeadRush
Pedalboard’s master outputs and phones output.
2: the right channel of your computer’s output audio signal, which will be sent directly out of the HeadRush
Pedalboard’s master outputs and phones output.
3: a mono channel of your computer’s audio signal, which will be sent back through the HeadRush Pedalboard
(see
4: not used in this scenario.
Important: Remember to set your DAW’s master outputs to be sent to 1/2.
Reamping
Reamping is a process that adds the tone coloration of an amp to a pre-recorded audio signal—in this case, sending audio from your DAW through the HeadRush Pedalboard and then recording it back into your DAW. This is useful for saving time because you can change the sound of an already-recorded guitar track without having to manually play the same part again.
To use the HeadRush Pedalboard to reamp an audio signal:
1.
In your DAW, make sure HeadRush Pedalboard is selected as your audio interface for both recording/input and playback/output.
2.
Assign the output of the desired track to 3.
3.
On the HeadRush Pedalboard, tap the button in the upper-right corner of the screen, and tap Global Settings.
4.
In the Global Settings screen, tap Reamp next to USB Mode.
Also, make sure the Sample Rate is set to the same sample rate as the one in your DAW. To change the
Sample Rate, set USB Audio to Off first, select the correct sample rate, set USB Audio to On again, and restart your DAW.
5.
In your DAW again, create a new audio track and assign its input. For a stereo input signal, select 1/2. For a
mono input signal, select 1.
6.
Locate the point in your track where you want to start reamping.
7.
On the HeadRush Pedalboard, select the rig, models, or other parameters to achieve the sound you want.
8.
In your DAW, start audio recording. The track you want to reamp will be sent through the HeadRush Pedalboard and recorded into the audio track you created earlier.
