With its vast library of realistic and responsive guitar effects, amps, cabinets, and microphone emulations, the HeadRush Core offers near-infinite impulse response loading capacity and the ability to reproduce the sound of your precious analog gear using "smart cloning" technology. For singers needing complementary vocal processing, the Core also features a full suite of vocal effects, including the industry-standard Antares Auto-Tune® and a high-quality looper.
Complete guitar and vocal rig
The HeadRush Core includes an ever-expanding library of sounds. These are high-end emulations of the most prized vintage, modern, and boutique guitar gear, with unmatched accuracy and stunning natural dynamics. It offers factory presets designed by the guitar sound experts at ChopTones™ and a full suite of powerful, easy-to-use vocal effects, including Antares Auto-Tune®.

Capture the authentic sound of your own gear.
The HeadRush Core features proprietary cloning technology that allows you to vastly expand your onboard amp and effects library using your own gear.
The HeadRush Amp Cloner accurately captures the sound, dynamics, and most importantly, the feel of your favorite amps, preamps, distortion, overdrive, and even fuzz pedals. Cloning your gear is a breeze with a simple on-screen wizard that guides you step-by-step.
Intuitive touch interface with 7-inch touchscreen.
The HeadRush Core features a 7-inch touchscreen. Touch, swipe, and drag and drop to instantly create guitar, bass, and vocal rigs with exceptional speed and precision. The display also provides clear visual feedback during live performances, especially when tweaking sounds using an external expression pedal in hands-free mode.
State-of-the-art looper and practice tools
The HeadRush Core features an intuitive looper that allows for recording loops up to 5 minutes long, with 20 minutes of total layering time. It also allows you to save and recall loops, as well as sync with other devices, such as drum machines, via MIDI.
Another benefit: the ability to load songs directly from Dropbox via Wi-Fi to practice or learn songs faster. Once a song is loaded, you can loop it, slow down difficult passages, and change the pitch by semitones to quickly learn songs in new keys. The Core can also connect to and play audio from any Bluetooth-enabled mobile device, giving you access to numerous streaming services and digital lessons.
Housed in a rugged, road-ready steel chassis and equipped with a full complement of I/O, the HeadRush Core is a compact solution perfect for musicians ready to take on any stage situation. In addition to comprehensive connectivity including guitar and microphone inputs, 1/4-inch, XLR, and headphone outputs, MIDI I/O, and wireless connectivity,
HeadRush Core features a stereo effects loop for connecting pedals and other external gear at any point in your internal signal chain. This loop also allows for connection to traditional amplifiers via the four-cable method. The built-in USB audio interface provides easy access for studio-quality recording or re-amping directly to a Mac or PC DAW.
Create your own amp and pedal clones with the included Amp Cloner software.
HeadRush Core includes a free copy of the new HeadRush ReValver Amp Cloner software to create your own clones and superclones (a $199 value!). Using proprietary ACT™ Gen II (Audio Cloning Technology™), ReValver Amp Cloner is the world's first capture system that allows you to combine multiple amp or pedal clones into a single, powerful superclone capable of morphing between clones.
