NAMM 2017: HeadRush Pedalboard promises “the most versatile, realistic-sounding and responsive” models ever found in a multi-effects pedal

New FX processor boasts touchscreen display and gapless preset switching

Developed by the team behind Avid’s Eleven DSP, HeadRush boasts a quad-core processor and Eleven HD Expanded DSP, which aim to deliver “the most versatile, realistic-sounding and responsive” models ever found in a floorboard guitar FX processor.

The pedal’s 12 footswitches each feature their own OLED displays, while a seven-inch touchscreen handles the bulk of editing, offering drag-and-drop rig creation and clear visual feedback – handy when using hands-free editing.

A “generous and diverse offering” of amp, cabinet, FX and microphone models is onboard, as well as the ability to load custom impulse response files – take a look below for the full list.

The processor is also touting unique features, including gapless preset switching, a 20-minute-plus looper, the ability to peel off loop layers in the reverse order they were added and more.

HeadRush Pedalboard is available in Q1 2017 for £899.99 – head over to HeadRush Electronics for more info.

With its cornucopia of screens, this newcomer is destined to go up against Line 6’s all-conquering Helix – but does the higher cost of the Helix make it a better board? Let us know what you think on the forum
