Headrush Flex Prime

With Superclone profiling, they may be closer to the amp / pedal modeling of other brands. And I dig the form factor on this one.

I used the Revalver ACT "clone" stuff several years ago to record a few tunes. It's not a needle mover.

They've had "clone" capabilities for a while now in the Prime and the Core, and no one cares.

It's a little bit of cognitive dissonance: Amp cloning/profiling/etc. is an enthusiast feature, but this is a decidedly cheap/casual product. The userbases don't really match.

Shoutout to Fremen, Tone Junkies and Choptones for offering third-party Headrush amp clones, tho. I would wager they're among their least-selling offerings....
 
This is so beyond lazy and completely disrespectful of people's intelligence.... IMO.

Also, this will have me laughing all day!😂

Headrush is an evolution from Eleven Rack by Avid, right? Is it still made by Avid, the same company behind Pro Tools?

Since it is essentially a mx5, the firmware update software probably won't know the difference between an mx5 and the flex prime.....

It's almost assuredly not the exact same hardware thou. The MX5 launched back in 2021; i'm pretty sure they at least upgraded the RockChip SoC since.

No...it is ....just read the post from cliff ....I have been researching this for a loooooong time.

The next up from this chipset would require a ground up recode....that isn't possible at this price and pace...it just doesn't make sense.

InMusic doesn't operate that way. At all.

Um, but they're not? :confused: From your own pictures, the MX5 runs a RK3288, while the Flex Prime uses a RK3566. Off the bat, one is ARM 32-bit - the other is 64-bit.

Pretty sure the hardware is very, very similar otherwise.

How do you know this ....do you have documentation?

Like I said...it's all been covered previously and confirmed so I doubt they upgraded anything for one device...when everything else uses what I showed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Datasheets for both SoCs are readily available online. The old chip is definitely based on ARM Cortex-A17 (32-bits), while the new one has ARM Cortex-A55 cores (64-bit).

Those are not the chips...if you read the discussion I say all that while I was trying to find answers....that is not from the flex prime.

Cliff confirmed that they all were running the same CoM.... Here

I do appreciate discourse. So thanks for that.

Ah, that explains more 😄 Note he's talking about MX5 vs Prime; i'm 99.9% certain the Flex Prime uses the same SoM the full-fledged Prime does. It's very straightforward to upgrade these, hardware-wise.

That is what I'm saying....how am I so hard to understand?

Again, i'm looking forward for a teardown (Tony, do your thing!) but i'm willing to bet money on the Flex Prime using the exact same SoC as the Prime - not the MX5. It's the same enclosure, but not the same hardware.

The software is a dead giveaway; feature set and navigation looks identical to the floor Prime.

You are not reading.....the prime uses the same as the mx5... period. That's my point..

That's why what you're saying doesn't compute.

If the mx5=prime

And according to you... Prime=flexprime


Then

Mx5=flex prime
