That Superclone feature is remarkable. All of the feature additions to this unit are to Headrush's credit, but seems to me that one stands out. I'd love to hear the differences this introduces to the tones as compared to say a dual amp setup in the Fractal or Helix units where you assign a mix or blend to the expression pedal.
I love it, it's like a digital unit war! Every company seems to be trying to out do each other, with either a new unit or refreshing updates every 6 months, as gear people WE win!
Cool vid. That super clone feature is interesting. I wasn’t really interested in cloning before but this idea of super cloning has piqued my interest. Looks like an intuitive GUI also. Cool piece of gear 🤘
Great video Leon. Wonder if there any solid Hiwatt amps cloned. Love the Headrush touchscreen. I love my Kemper for amps, but considering this for effects and the cloning is a plus.
Hi Leon, in alternative of my beloved Fractal what do you think about this product, the Ampero ii, Nano Cortex or Tonex? I’m looking for an all in one solution with very good effects but mostly “feel like an amp”. In case i have only two very good amps to “capture”, mostly I want to use the factory presets or download a few from the web. Thanks for your job, I wish you a joyful 2025 🎉
I've watched this video just of curiosity and I knew what I would hear, but still... It's almost OK stand alone, but in a band your guitar will disappear immediately... There is no alternative to Fractal... It's the best! This "Toy" looks and sounds like a Toy, same as every other modeler on the planet...
@@andrianoangelov5051 I play the prime in my band since it came out, live and at practise. Great sounds, cuts perfectly through and every sound at hand (or better foot) with 8 effects or scenes on seperate switches. Perfect workhorse even for musicians with high expectations. I owned the kemper, i still own a JVM 410 a DR Z Maz and a lot of quality pedals. A lot of opportunity for live comparisons and out of my experience (not only you tube videos) i would recommend to check the Headrush out to everybody who is looking for serious stage gear. (Prime, Core, Flex).
What if you do a super clone of the same amp/settings but for example: do one with one a T75 loaded cab and the other with a greenback loaded cab? Morphing between speakers? Also, what about doing a super clone of the same amp/settings but the only differences are EQ settings of the amp cloned? For example: A scooped setting and a mid boosted setting? Or, what if you did both of the above? A rhythm tone and a mid boosted lead tone? Like a T75 scooped tone to a mid boosted greenback lead tone???
The Super Clone feature kinda reminds me of Digitech's old AudioDNA stuff (amp warping), its about time somebody picked up the mantle. EDIT: Leon, can you highlight the synth modules and touch on the Pitch algos? I believe there are many interested in these specifically. TIA!
It sounds better once you use clones and IR's...but you have to put a bit of money aside to purchase these. Tonejunkie has a good pack...BoutiqueTones, Fremen and Sonic-DNA are also good sources.
Just hoping that this doesn't signal that HR is abandoning the vocal processing touted on the Prime and Core. I bought the Core BECAUSE it was supposed to be a vocal processor...then they release a compact version with no vocal effects....while never addressing the issues that exist with the current vocal effects.
I‘ll go with the Ampero II Stage, which is better for live gigging with more footswitches. Only thing is you‘ll need an external pedal if you need one.
@@krumple4skin548 The II Stage has no pedal, too. The new Ampero II (not Stage) has a pedal, but less footswitches. All of the Ampero II series now have "Tone Catch", which is the ability to capture amps and effects and load other "catches".
I know it’s not your playing… but it either sounds thin or muddy depending on what you are dialing in. The Helix had a Save feature for favorite pedals and amp settings. I’m sure the Fractal does. I feel you get a better "clone" feature by blending 2 amps and mixing them either digital helix/fractal etc or real amps. The tones remind me of the old Digitech GNX that lasted with me a couple months back in the day. I always thought the old L6 pod500 and 11 rack I had sounded like a blanket was over them. Line 6 did good with the Helix and Fractal was always on another level. Seems Headrush stepped backwards on this one. I’m not one to usually complain about products especially on your channel. I will go listen to andertons and a few other for more reference.
its alright... after using Neural DSP stuff for the past few years, its definitely not as good as their transpose feature, but it gets the job done. It definitely lacks the clarity and articulation on the Headrush

Hi Leon, I bought this pedal in November of 2024, and it sure dose deliver.
Great video, keep up the good work.
Congrats! Any fx/amps you'd recommend I explore?
Very cool to see you take this new unit and do your thing with it so whatever you cover I will tune in. BTW sounds pretty damn good 🤟🏻

and the price is great.
All the PCB guitar gadgets need to dump the USB "B" port. Shouldn't we be past that era by now? Great video, thanks for posting.
USB B is more stronger/robust than a USB C connection.
@@algorithm007ify+1 live USB c can be weak
I’m waiting to see if this new firmware and editor brings in more uptake. Looks like a killer piece of gear

I like the way you're thinking!
@@LeonTodd Thanks! BTW, I was banned from the Fractal forum about a year ago now. I said these three words: Fix it Cliff.
Thanks, I like this MiniRig.
Can you put this rig up on your Fractal blocks library?

The old Genesis had that stuff right? Been trying to find one to try!
@LeonTodd yeah, I believe so. I still have the GNX3000 for this very reason...and I'm a big synth wah fan!
@@LeonTodd Also the Digitech GNX series of Audio DNA Modeling units have this feature!
Leon do you think i should i sell my NUX MG30 to get the Headrush Flex Prime?Do you think the Amp Models and Effects sound better in the Prime?
It sounds better once you use clones and IR's...but you have to put a bit of money aside to purchase these. Tonejunkie has a good pack...BoutiqueTones, Fremen and Sonic-DNA are also good sources.
Hey Leon, which one do you prefer, the head rush or boss GX10?
Just hoping that this doesn't signal that HR is abandoning the vocal processing touted on the Prime and Core. I bought the Core BECAUSE it was supposed to be a vocal processor...then they release a compact version with no vocal effects....while never addressing the issues that exist with the current vocal effects.
Are the amp clones and effects free or do I have to pay for everything after buying the pedal?
What you see is what you get
Hi leon im mahdi i love the new headrush flex prime i think when i come in Nashville i bought one 😊😊❤🤟🤟🤟🤘❤️🎸🎸🎸🌞🌞🌟🎸⭐⭐
Leon, What is your opinion, Which is better. Fractal or Headrush
Also. Have you used the Headrush onstage yet ?
I would dare say Headrush...Fractal has better effects. Headrush has a better UI experience, portability, price and cloning. The looper is great also.
Does it have XLR input for microphone?
Headrush Core and Prime units have this. Not the flex prime.
If you can only afford one, this, or the Ampero 11 Stage? Pretty please!
I‘ll go with the Ampero II Stage, which is better for live gigging with more footswitches. Only thing is you‘ll need an external pedal if you need one.
Pretty sure only the stomp has no expression pedal.
@@krumple4skin548 The II Stage has no pedal, too. The new Ampero II (not Stage) has a pedal, but less footswitches. All of the Ampero II series now have "Tone Catch", which is the ability to capture amps and effects and load other "catches".
I'd go for this over Ampero... It's $400 (AUD) cheaper in Australia.

I have watched other videos, the dude said both units have the same software. Could you test this myth for us.
Hows the octave/pitch fx? I heard that its bad at tracking
its alright... after using Neural DSP stuff for the past few years, its definitely not as good as their transpose feature, but it gets the job done. It definitely lacks the clarity and articulation on the Headrush
I made up a drinking game, every time you say “super clone” I drink, I’m beyond fucked…
😁🫠
Web based software editor? Nope, nope, nope.
It's actually the BEST method. No need to install/update apps on multiple devices.
What's wrong with it? It saves me a lot of time not bending down and I can use my tablet so I can edit my rig way easier, anywhere...
@@wanabe014 there is nothing wrong with having a computer based editor. But I prefer native code over a web page.
