New Headrush pedalboard: Headrush Prime

[Baba]

Anybody got Cliff's Notes on timbuck2 for me?

Or better yet, a thread with his greatest hits?

I missed this!!! Does Cliff a Tim got a ”history”??? That must be juicy as hell! I want to know everything.

But then again, what it actually takes to do a decent amp modeling is far less than many think in terms of pure cpu power… it’s not f*****g gaming…. (remind myself to go to tgp and jump on timbuck a few more times as soon as he open his mouth)

Some of the amp models in the Axe-Fx III use 85% of the dedicated 1GHz DSP.

Here's the manual https://cdn.inmusicbrands.com/HeadRush/prime/HeadRush Prime - User Guide - v1.0.pdf

First thoughts:

- They did a really great job with footswitch assignments.
- The looper would really benefit from the ability to have loop contents auto-load from USB storage with preset and/or scene changes. No sign of this in the manual. I hope that's something they consider for a future firmware revision.

Sort of seems underpowered considering what year we are in. If not underpowered, maybe just not as many blocks as you'd think there could be.

This is how we're seeing such a robust set of features at $1200 street. By all appearances, we're looking at half the CPU power of e.g. Helix or Quad Cortex. One CPU/ two cores, basically. (Or whatever the ARM SoC equivalent would be, since previous posts indicate this isn't a comparable SHARC architecture.) If you try to add a parallel path to your guitar path, your vocal path disappears, or vice versa.

I think some of the observations you've made about Moore's law etc., and where price/ performance should be n years after Helix or whatever, have been adversely affected by some unusual circumstances: crazy inflation, supply chain issues post-COVID, and so on. (And Moore's Law is increasingly understood to be "deprecated", anyway... At least until the next technological sea change, e.g. quantum computing or whatever it may be.)

I wonder how comprehensive the mix/split/send/return facilities are....Maybe they can add and improve over time, not sure how well the helix handled this sort of thing at 1.0, but now I think we're really spoiled on how developed and mature helix and axefx are

Excellent question. If the Loop/ Send/ Return blocks can accomodate USB audio channels, that would be really interesting. (But unlikely. Neither Helix nor QC blocks do so, and I'm not seeing anything in the Prime manual.) Otherwise, the routing is inadequate for anyone with an interest in guitar synth/ MIDI conversion.

Lol, no, by "Cliff's Notes", I meant the "short version". Remember those yellow Cliff's Notes books from school, if you wanted to get the finer points of a book or play?

I wonder if there will be a big ass gap?

Not unless you sell your stomp too often.

Connect two Prime units via USB OTG and a month later they'll have beautiful MX-5 children.

Headrush Secondaries.

- Everything should be cheaper.
- Nothing is better.
- People who buy all the modelers.
- Traffic and seafood.
- Hotub.

His hottub posts were a "highlight" of the thread that shan't be named

Too many t's.

RIP Russian Doll review.

 

[Jim Roseberry]

Can files be transferred one unit to another unit via USB stick by any chance? This is a feature I could really use.

Yes. I just exported a "Rig" that was saved internally... to a USB flash drive.
That Rig (or Rigs) could then be loaded onto another HRP.

 

[Gearzilla]

Aye. Credit to @Whizzinby for this gem.

We need to get timbuk2 out of TGP. This place might be a good change for him.

That’s a good summary.

The ones that stick out to me are:
- Everything should have a stereo Fx loop or GTFO
- Nobody needs all those features of XYZ modeler
- Why do people have more than just one modeler? That’s a waste of money.
- Nothing these days is worth the extra cost over what I have in my old Tonelab SE.
- Why can’t they put a Helix in a Spider. Duh!

Talking out his rear end as per usual.

 

[the swede]

All this talk about modelers almost makes me want to unpack my Stomp and try that thing they call “playing guitar”. This is probably inspiring to me in all the wrong ways.

You're supposed to use this stuff with guitars?

That's heathen talk.
