I just acquired my Prime two weeks ago so I'm still learning all the ins and outs. This was a great guide for anybody new to Headrush. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks so much for this… I just got the prime and LOVE it, but, I’m an idiot with changing settings etc.. this video is super helpful man. Thanks so much 🤟😎
Useful stuff unlike many YT promo vids telling you slide the volume to make it loader! Useful stuff on the Gate and Audio out elements...you should do more rig setup vids for worship songs and or Ambient vibe stuff
Thanks Dave! I haven’t had much time lately, but I do intend to do more videos. Is there a particular song or guitar part you would like me to attempt?
So grateful that i stumbled across this video. Looking to replace my existing pedal board for xhurch to sonething giving me more options when im light on for other musicians. Additionally love the vocal capabilities as well. Cheers.
Your videos are very helpful in learning the capabilities of the equipment and give light on how to avoid mistakes. You're doing a great job, so keep your head up and keep on keeping on. Thanks for all your videos. Cheers
I've just purchased the HR Core - your explanations and visuals are really helpfull. Thank you for uploading. Please would you demo the vocal capabilities - and how to send the guitar an amp, and vocals to a PA ☺
Definition of Luck? Weeks trying to decide on the HRP! Weeks looking at all the "You Tube" guru's and of course, their "unbiased" opinions on the HRP! And then your video? For what the HRP does and sounds like? For my use as a solo or with a small trio-the HRP will do very nicely>>> All Thanks To This Video! I thank you sir. Will you be doing a video on how to bring in backing tracks? I would like to make my own backing tracks in Studio One and then import the tracks as a .WAV or MP3 (don't know which one to use) Again, Thank you So Much for this video!
@@forthecreator1 Thank you Sir. Looking at some of your HRP videos, as well as listening to you, I might have to stand corrected on this being "luck" in finding you. The very best of regards to you!
I thought the Prime was a singer/songwriter tool to be used to incorporate voice and guitar, experimenting with vocal harmonies and different spatial awareness of performing in different sized areas .?
Thank you so much for putting out content for the headrush. Love your content. I have the the original headrush. What’s your thoughts with the prime? Is it a big improvement in the sound and functionality of the unit? Pros and cons?
If you’re on the endless quest, and will always need more amps and effects, the Prime does have more. Cloning amps is easy and they sound indistinguishable from the original. Being able to upload/download rigs over Wi-Fi is much easier than usb sync. The practise tool allowing you to slow down songs is very practical. Bluetooth means one less cable. But ultimately I am using the same rig I was using in Pedalboard/mx5 and it sounds exactly the same. So in that sense, I don’t “need” Prime. But it’s nice to have!
@@forthecreator1 thank you for the feedback. I might consider the prime as a singer/songwriter to have the mic option, and I love that you mentioned Bluetooth…that is great!
Your video is my go to still. You did a great job. I wonder if you have the same issue as me. My sound guy at church said I should run stereo and no mono. He found that my left was 20db lower than the right. My rig has the 2 joined circles which should be stereo. I checked on my mixer and he's right, it's lower. Any thoughts? Thanks again.
I do not have this problem. Tap on OUTPUT. when you play, is one side metering much lower than the other? If they are about the same, then the problem is occurring AFTER the Headrush. Eg. Perhaps you are plugged into a DI box and one of them has the pad engaged. Or perhaps one of the cables between the Headrush and the mixer is bad
@@forthecreator1 Thanks for your reply. When I double tap on the output I get the the 2 meters. OUTPUT and ALT OUTPUT. All 4 meters are the same. If I run the left and right into my home mixer to 2 channels with the gain equal and the left panned to the left and the right the left is definitely lower than the right. The rig width is 100% which according to the manual should be stereo. I don't see anything in the setup that might be the issue either. I've been running just MONO at church and they split it to 2 channels to be basically stereo. Thanks for your help but this is baffling.
Create a new rig that is completely blank. If that solves the problem, then your problem is a setting somewhere in the rig. Swap the cables with each other. If the problem moves to the right output, then it’s a bad cable. Also try going from the Alt outputs on the rear panel. That’s about all the trouble shooting I can think of
On the headrush forum someone suggested using TRS to XLR from the TRS left and right outputs. Wow finally balanced output. Thanks for your help again.😊
That was an excellent video. Learned a lot and I will get my HR PRIME tomorrow but just doing research. My big question is on the EXP/VOL pedal. I like having a volume on my board and it looks to me like it is only used for an expression pedal. Can it just be a volume pedal and have the expression pedal plug into the rear? I play worship songs in Church and like the volume at the end of the chain to kill a long swell if need be. Thanks again for your video, it was great.
Yes, the treadle can be set as a volume pedal and placed anywhere on the chain (I fact I only use the treadle for volume). You can connect a second expression to the back and use it for whatever you want. Eg. As a wah wah
Just watched your video again and setup a Rig for We Praise You - Driven (Playing a Less Paul). Worked perfectly and sounded great. The intro is dead on (well w/o the Air Del) Thanks again. Gonna try it out at rehearsal tomorrow evening. Have to set one up now for Living Hope, of course not much drive. @@forthecreator1
Question. And the manual did not seem to cover it... Is it possible to have all 12 footswitches turn on/off effects in one patch instead of having some them assigned to up/down and tap tempo? Thanks for your time. Have a great day
Specific to Pedalboard and Prime: only the center 8 footswitches can be used to turn effects on/off. For MX5, Core, Gigboard all footswitches can be used.
I don’t have a headrush unit I am interested in the prime though. I have heard of other reviewers saying that the unit cuts in and out at times and maybe that was just with the core. Have you experienced this with your unit?
hello, thank you for the rigs and explanations , I just want ask if you have stopped using the Headrush Pedalboard? I did asked if you can do a reggae rig .
My two most recent videos were for Pedalboard. I have never played in a reggae band, so I may not be the best person to create a reggae rig. What song has the guitar tone you like?
Got another question. Thanks for all your help, much appreciated. Have you found a pedal that will do a dotted eight reverb? I have looked but nothing sounds like my Strymon Volante set to dotted eight. Thanks so much for all your help and patience.
Dotted 8th note can also be expressed as a fraction: 3/16. All the delays in Headrush can be set to 3/16, and all can be set to sync (which means set the delay time based on the tempo). Obviously you’ll also need to either tap in the tempo using the footswitch, or manually dial in a tempo on the hardware assign page and save it
Nice video. I've searched the User Manuals but they do not tell me what the pedal effects are based on. Do they have a digital manual that tells me what the effects pedals are in the unit and what it's based on?

Glad it was helpful!
I don't think head rush it self could do a better demo than what you did here. This is fantastic!
That’s very kind of you. Thank you!
Thanks so much for this… I just got the prime and LOVE it, but, I’m an idiot with changing settings etc.. this video is super helpful man. Thanks so much 🤟😎
Thanks dude! I finally found my gear! I'll purchase this stuff.
Soooo freaking helpful. I need one for acoustic shows with vocals. Chop chop 😂

Big thank you on this one - downloaded this preset and it's one of my favorites.
I do the graphic EQ as my 1st level drive in my headrush gigboard as well
by the way, great tone sir.
Works great, right?
I have a Prime too...help me understand how an EQ acts as a drive. ?
You can see this at 3:10. Put an EQ in the signal chain ahead of the amp, and turn up the level of the EQ
Thanks
Awesome, thanks so much for the excellent Headrush tips!
Glad I can help

Another question. Can you copy a Rig to another name and tweak it the way you want?
@@williamthomas3515 yes. Tweak any rig, then save it under a different name
I am considering Headrush Prime or the Tone Master Pro. Any ideas which is best for Worship?
I have not tried TMP. Headrush Prime easily covers whatever I need for playing in church.

Great video!! How do I boost a channel like a solo patch
put the White boost pedal in the chain AFTER the amp, and hit that for the solo
Can i use this preset to headrush core ?
Yes!
