The only thing that will save Headrush is NAM compatibility

At least we’re (most of us) very funny….

GGF and FAS are good forums of the fora too

But are they funny? Like TGF funny?

Meh… doesn’t matter really. I won’t stray… one fora of forums people is enough for my forum needs anyway.

GGF has a lot of cool peeps. More amp centric, certainly. FAS has good peeps as well. But obviously centered on that. Some good humor at both

Me for example. It’s very questionable to involve both crotch and grind in any sentence and you all should be very disappointed in me about it. Or something like that…. Idk.

I put this scenario out on a few different crotcha grinda fora I post at.

They all told me to fuck off.

Just speculation because I don’t even care enough to look it up - but it really feels like headrush is the victim of another private equity squeeze where they are just dragging along dead tech to pull in stragglers and people who don’t really follow the market closely. They are so far behind that the only reasonable explanation is that they don’t care and aren’t in it to be competitive.

Edit - yup. Private Equity. Goner.

i liked headrush units while owning, but once sold never really missed them.

I find the team quite strange - they would make effort to release the products every now and then, but not market and update them hard enough.

You can bet your bottom juice hole that Helix Stadium will light a fire under the arses of the Headrush product team. Headrush Prime is actually pretty good to be honest, and it does a lot. Doesn't have the same market place "cool" factor, but it isn't half bad.

I’m basing what I know of them from a somewhat lengthy run with revalver like a decade ago. I remember the cloning tech being miserable, even for them.

What’s gotten better? I may have incorrectly assumed it was still all their old legacy tech in there.

Quite a lot of the amps come from the Eleven Rack tech, and those aren't terrible. I liked the Soldano model quite a bit. The newish amp cloner tech isn't too bad. Certainly as good as Kemper and QC is, in terms of accuracy. But they do feel like amps - not the old old Revalver tech. That stuff was a bit weaksauce.

There's quite a lot of cool delays and reverbs on it, and I think some of them are better than Helix. The drives are so-so.

Built in auto-tune is nifty. The cloud preset sharing side of things is better than what Neural have done IMHO. The built in practice tool is very MPC-ish, probably no surprise there.

Overall, I actually thought it was a cool package. It doesn't sound terrible, it has a few unique-ish features, the overall signal quality is good, the touchscreen is responsive. If you had it side by side with the competition (as I did!) it would compare well IMHO.
