This is how to demo a product. Excellent. I had a Headrush Gigboard for a while but moved it on because I wanted to build a traditional pedalboard. This is tempting though, having their looping tech plus all the vocal processing in there too, it's pretty comprehensive. And the guys did a great job in Lee's absence.
Imagine going back 30 or 40 years with something like this...people's minds would be absolutely blown. We kind of take the whole "amp, cab, effects, everything in one box" thing for granted now but it really is pretty damn amazing if you think about it. Moore's law at its finest!!
@@ElizeMusicChannelgreat job with this. Did you really feel the harmony sounded good and tracked clean? I’ve read mixed reviews on the vocal harmony but you made it sound incredible. Did you have any complaints about the harmony?
Wow, great demo and product. And Nate and Elize are really skillful musicians. Was a pleasure listening to them, and a nice change in style on this channel.
Great video! I think Nate and Elize were great guests to bring on, they knew their stuff and the demo sounded amazing. I want that Toxic cover on Spotify. Love HeadRush's stuff, I have a Prime and it's killer. Core seems like a neat desktop-version of that, much like the Gigboard was to the Pedalboard - fewer buttons, no expression pedal built in, but much easier to fit on a desk and with pretty much the same internals. As an added bonus, unlike Pedalboard-to-Gigboard, the amount of connections seems to be the same as on the Prime as well - including the all-important XLR outs. So that right there is a reason to upgrade from a Gigboard.
I wish i would have had equipment like that growing up. I was always in and out of bands as a kid but stuff like this would have for sure motivated us all to stick it out. It just makes it more simple and enjoyable
Superb idea to bring in working artists to demo and live run through the features of a product like this Headrush Core. This aspect needs to be explored much more on Andertons. Don't just show us the new stuff and basic run through of features. Everyone does that. Supplement that with musicians live building a set of tones and effects. Show the practical application of crazy capable devices like this Core.
I just got one (from Andersons - great delivery!) after watching this review. I'm not connected to Andersons or Headrush, I'm totally impartial but I've got to say it's great. I've never been a Headrush fan and I love my pedals but I had to get something compact and easy to transport. This thing is a marvel and it takes my backing vocals a dream. As a player who needs all the help I can get I've got to say that I'll be using it even when I don't need to. Nice job!
I front a power trio playing guitar and singing; this is a massively helpful product for such role - all in one value proposition. Enjoyed so much one the best videos from Andertons in a while, great product demo , full of musicianship. Kudos to Lee, Nate, Elize and team!
Only issue I see is that apparently BOTH xlr outs have to be set for guitar or vocals, or both. The manual does not show a way to use the right xlr for guitar, and the left for vocals, for instance. This seems like an obvious omission to me to me.
I front a 3 piece too, and the main drawback with the vocal section is Headrush give you 14 effect/amp blocks total, if you want to use guitar and vocals they split it 7 each.. you probably won't need 7 effect blocks on the vocals, and you will want more on guitar, a 10/4 or 11/3 split would be much more usable in a live scenario. I have chosen to stay with the original pedalboard and an external vocal processor for that reason.
I love how Headrush doesn't cheap out on the DSP on their smaller/cheaper products. You can run the same exact patch on their bigger boards and their small MX-5!
I've been searching and searching for my next pedal to buy. I think I'm in love. It's got all I need. Vocoder, that 4 part harmony is epic, it has a Jacob Collier vibe, I love it. Guitar tones, profiling can't say enough. Wow just wow.❤❤
I got this pedal a few weeks ago, and got the expression pedal yesterday. I have so much to learn about how versatile this pedal is. I've used the bass presets at my gigs so far, and played around with the guitar presets at home, but I need to really dig into this thing!
It’s table top in the studio and then once all worked out for the gig it goes to the feet. So versatile. I’ll take that over the massive Prime version. Then just add a separate pedal.
Awesome video and demo, and awesome performances from the guest artists.... I think I'm finally getting around to picking up an MX5 , but these look realy awesome! The ability to do all of the vocals with effects, and to have both guitar input and vocals go into the looper ... I could see this being really awesome for a duo or solo singer/musician. The larger Prime board with more switches definitely makes more sense for live performance. Maybe some day this MX5 will lead to one of the people in my house ending up needing something like this or the Prime
My problem with all of these all in one pedals is you really need to have them on a desk. The ability to use a kemper or Fractal with a PC saves my back. I've played with the Prime and original pedal board. Touchscreen interface is quite easy to use. But for the hours and hours of tweaking you get into with these, a pc or tablet connection is almost required.
darnit, I was set on getting the Quad Cortex, had discounted the Headrush Prime because of the sheer size just for home use, but now seeing this I am back into decision mode again, would love to see a shootout on this with the QC on stock amps and cabinets being close to the originals, I don't have amps to model so rely on others providing the goods.
Revalver is an amp sim developed by Peavey. I've used it for about 10 years. It has a nice variety of gear including all the great Peavey amps. The product was sold to another company and there hasn't been any development for some time. I have no idea what's going on with the software. So, maybe Headrush have bought Revalver.
I think I want one of these as I really need a modeler/multi fx for a band I recently joined. But I still have ptsd from trying to use a Helix LT i just never got any good sound out of the thing. What appeals to me is how straight forward the interface looks to use
I really want one of these units to be controlled off a phone or tablet app that syncs with the pedal. When the unit is on the floor, it's not the easiest or most comfortable thing to get down and start adjusting settings etc. especially when you've only got a relatively small touch screen. It surprises that this somehow isn't available already, given it seems like such a basic piece of software.
Woah! What a beautiful voice Elize have... and I would've bought this Core-board hasen't it been for the fact that I am saving for another thing atm. -But maybe down the road :) -tnx for the video however! - Regards from Norway. 😀☀
Is the vocal setting for the key fixed (In the example shown Key C)? I know it from the Boss VE500 so that you can set it to "Auto" and then the guitar tone is the basis for the voice key adjustment performs!? Is that also possible with the Antares Auto Tune?
this is interesting , however could you explain how to switch on and off " pedals both vocoals and guitar whilst playing a track in the background as a duet ? Ie chorus changes / dry wet on both guitar and vox .. this is a game changer for the likes of me if possible as i'm sure it would be for backing tracks ect
Great demo as always. A compact multi effect for guitar AND vocals is exactly what I've been looking for.. and now there's finally one ! One question though: Is it possible to put guitar effects and even amps in a vocal fx line ???
Not a single tutorial on preset footswitches assignment. Could you share a tutorial on how to assign for exsmple my top 6 presets to each footswitches for easy access?
It it possible to use it as a looper in live setting to play whole song such that I can kick in intro, verse, chorus, bridge, outrow etc whenever needed?
Elise is very talented (guitarist not bad either). All sounded great. Seeing as you can no longer turn amps up to 11 or even 3, this digital gear must be the way forward. Sorry Lee.😊
Love it, but sorry to say Headrush (if you're listening) - not having a supporting pc/mobile app (for editing settings/patches) is a dealbreaker for me.
Totally agree, my back will die bending over constantly to use the (awesome) touch screen. That or I have to have it desk mounted and lose the foot switching. An app for a tablet OR a dedicated, remote foot switch (both would be great!) would be a massive step up in useability for various use scenarios.
So would you be able to assign short sections of audio that you’ve chopped up and have the footswitches trigger them? I just bought a boss rc600 but am within date to return it and am strongly considering getting this instead.
This wasn't just a demo of the Headrush Core. It was also a demo of how to demo. More of this team, please.
This is how to demo a product. Excellent. I had a Headrush Gigboard for a while but moved it on because I wanted to build a traditional pedalboard. This is tempting though, having their looping tech plus all the vocal processing in there too, it's pretty comprehensive. And the guys did a great job in Lee's absence.
Yeah the vocal processing has me very intrigued. It could be very useful for solo coffee shop or bar gigs.

Great to hear something a little more soulful on this channel! Nice work guys.

Holy smokes, she can sing. What a great demo from all of you. The guitar playing is awesome. What a great rig.
Elize has a phenomenal voice! For a digital effects processor, it sounds pretty good! Loved the 4 part harmony!
Yup - I was sat next to her & her pure voice (no processing etc) is just incredible.

And last but not least : the wonderful song at the end of this video !

@@jeffrankin7624 makes sense, even though using one 1/4 output for the guitar sound and one of the XLRs for vocals will work for me anyway

Stunning voice this Lady has
Excellent content..THIS is what I needed for my PRIME!!! Keep 'em coming!!!
I love how Headrush doesn't cheap out on the DSP on their smaller/cheaper products. You can run the same exact patch on their bigger boards and their small MX-5!
Nate and Elise are fantastic musicians, what a demo! ❤
Live stereo concert for the Captain. Lee was loving it 😁👏🏻
What a singer. Proper musician.
Thank you!
This is one of thw best demo's ever!
Just what I need on this rainy old day.

Oh my god these two are incredible!! You need to hire them both as future product demoers/performers!
😃We had such a fun time!
This was a treat. Amazing musicians!

Wow, backing harmony at 22:50. Amazing. I'd buy that on it's own as a standalone pedal @headrush.
Agreed -- made me want to become a singer!
I would buy this for it's giggable hardware format autotune in a heartbeat. Gonna google other hardware autotune solutions right meow in fact!
It's one of my favourite effects too!
You can.. literally every TC Helicon product that does this does it better.
That 4 part vocal harmony was outrageous.
That’s one of my favourite effects too!
Wow, that was fun. I have a HeadRush Gigboard. It's awesome. This thing is in another universe.
Bought core myself cuz this video. Bravo to u guys for making great demo vid on this fabulous product
The Intro makes me cry immediately😅 So good playing with awesome sound🤘I think I need one😍
It’s table top in the studio and then once all worked out for the gig it goes to the feet. So versatile. I’ll take that over the massive Prime version. Then just add a separate pedal.
I'm bringing one of these boxes of tricks home in the near future. Excellent demo. 👍
What an absolutely wonderful demo!!! Fantastic job
Lee, you bring on the rippingest guitarists man!!
love that Chaka Khan in the end!
Girl can sing!
😄
I was just thinking about this and hoping that Andertons would do a demo soon ❤😊
Headrush is really killing it with these new boards.
Not carring much for the vocal side, but guess it’s nice to have.
thanks 4 honoring Prince!!!
Awesome video and demo, and awesome performances from the guest artists....

My problem with all of these all in one pedals is you really need to have them on a desk. The ability to use a kemper or Fractal with a PC saves my back. I've played with the Prime and original pedal board. Touchscreen interface is quite easy to use. But for the hours and hours of tweaking you get into with these, a pc or tablet connection is almost required.

great demo, Headrush seems to be a great product looking forward to trying out my new pedal
Thanks a lot for the demo and the Show 🤩
Brief Case recording studio. Nice session.
If only you could have stretched to a Neumann mic for this demo, but it does address the target live use. Great demo.
wooooo go nate and elize!
😊
As with the Prime, makes no sense to me why there is not a dedicated xlr out for the mic.
Revalver is an amp sim developed by Peavey. I've used it for about 10 years. It has a nice variety of gear including all the great Peavey amps.
The product was sold to another company and there hasn't been any development for some time. I have no idea what's going on with the software.

What a beautiful vocal.
Thanks so much!
Want it NOOOOWWW!
Another great demo Gents! Elize really didn't need any enhancements on her vocals did she?😀 What a voice! -Brent
That’s very kind of you Brent!

line 6 had it with some old pod I think. Also Marshall had it with the CODE series. it's out there for some devices, but really niche.
Line 6 used it with the Firehawk FX, and man, was that a useful feature. I really miss it.
I need this one.
If only Headrush had a desktop editor I'd buy this in a heartbeat.
supa .. ths is great.. and great product Demo.
Wow, nicely done!
This was awesome
Yeah, i gotta have it!
An acoustic guitar and voice alone would be my preference
Woah! What a beautiful voice Elize have... and I would've bought this Core-board hasen't it been for the fact that I am saving for another thing atm. -But maybe down the road :) -tnx for the video however! - Regards from Norway. 😀☀

Eleven Rack -> Head Rush family .. I mean absolutely brilliant!

Nice and groovy! Can you share the rig please ? I really like the smooth vocal effect with the guitar sound!
Thanks for the vid. Does amps and effects sound the same as the gigboard, mx5?
I would only buy this, if it comes with Nate’s fingertips!
Great demo, I am curious as to how the outs factor to FOH. Guitar, vocals and backing tracks. Is it all.on the L/R xlr out.
Not a single tutorial on preset footswitches assignment. Could you share a tutorial on how to assign for exsmple my top 6 presets to each footswitches for easy access?
Would you say this is more for live use or could it be just as good for recording in my home studio? I like the vocal processor on it a lot.
I'm wondering the same thing
It it possible to use it as a looper in live setting to play whole song such that I can kick in intro, verse, chorus, bridge, outrow etc whenever needed?
Elise is very talented (guitarist not bad either). All sounded great. Seeing as you can no longer turn amps up to 11 or even 3, this digital gear must be the way forward. Sorry Lee.😊
Hey do you have to use a frfr speaker...or can this go via tube amp... thank you
It can go via tube amp using direct in or the fx loop 👍
For the wah pedal … we have to buy a separate one ?
Thanks !
Sweet intro!
This or a Fractal FM3?
Fractal
What would be the best way to add multiple mics into this unit ??
A key difference for me between this and the big brother is this looks like it has wall wart power and the other has the heavy duty power plug.
Can you use the guitar effects on the mic/xlr channell? Or only the dedicated vocal effects?
I wonder can you run a prerecorded vocal through it and be able to print those fx onto a new track?
Very very cool.
Seriously seriously (yes that's twice I wrote seriously) good piece of kit! Do I need one though? :P
Yes
Any Chance of getting a download for the Rig with the vocal setup?
Love it, but sorry to say Headrush (if you're listening) - not having a supporting pc/mobile app (for editing settings/patches) is a dealbreaker for me.
Out of curiosoty, who does?
@@ZediBaptista Boss/Roland and Line6 do.
@@theomitrentsis Yes and Valeton, NuX, Tonex....
