Headrush Looperboard Overview and Demo
Музыка
One of the most powerful and intuitive looper pedals ever built, the Headrush Looperboard features a 7" touchscreen, 4 stereo looper tracks, over 5 hours of recording time and much more. Watch as Brian from Headrush gives an overview of the front and rear panel controls, touchscreen menu options and demos a loop using built-in drum tracks and guitar multi-effects.

Hi if I just need a loop station like for a little guitar, piano, other instruments and voice, main thing here beatboxing, would you recommend this? or is better this masterpiece used as a pedal just for guitar?

@@SmilingScars look for the boss RC 202 think this pedal is overkill for the majority of people too big too much going on. Lots of street performers use the 202 it's probably exactly what you're looking for.
Very good and useful demonstration, very good playing! I really love this unit and the pedalboard! Approved!
just note this has four MONO tracks, not stereo in the data, at 16 bit / 48 khz. It is NOT 32/48 as some of the advertizing points to.

Hey Brian, Great demo my man. Hope to meet up again soon. Awesome Looper.
Thanks for the demo. When will the right handed version be available?
Just go crazy
i love how you can name it whatever you want
Can I control the Looperboard using a MIDI controller foot pedal? I just want to be able to hit record/stop then goto next track with a foot pedal (on ground) and have the Looperboard on a table so I can edit without bending over to adjust stuff… If yes, what midi or usb pedal would you recommend will work?

Which ones? Why would it come out for the board? They want ppl to buy this. I would be interested in this looper if it had a few amp sims
I'm only getting this because Voiceplay electric/gtx seems to always be out of stock. It's a beautiful piece of hardware
I can't seem to find anything that says if there is midi clock out. I didn't get a reply from Headrush. Anyone know? Midi clock out is very useful for things like tempos based effects and external drum machines.
Would be nice to see a smaller version of this looper pedal or is the mx5 basically that? How powerful is the mx5 looper in comparison?
Does it sync to a MIDI clock?

Can you assign specific tracks to to certain things? For example: track 1 and 2 is for guitar and track 3 is for a microphone. If I’m recording my loop in track 1 or 2 will it pick up track 3? If that makes sense. Like. Could I loop a vocal melody (while playing my guitar) but not loop what I’m playing? Until I select that track to loop on?

Yes, you can do this pretty easily with creative routing within the looper. This is the improvement that this looper has addressed. HOWEVER, read my other replies in the comments about the many limitations of this looper. The sync looping options are limited. The RC300 has much more looping potential with less routing potential under the current firmware.
Good ideas this guy has
But is there an quick and easy way to "clear all" without using the touch screen?
Finally they did it !! Ive been looking 4 this loopstation 4 ages ...something with 4 tracks / a great build-in drum machine / some on-board FX in order to modify your tracks on-the-fly ...actually something that will replace your DAW N could be controlled ...simply by your feet o_O so you can keep going the flow of your inspiration N not be stuck on your desktop /// this is simply amazing how they made it with the tactile big screen ...this is the future m@n /// byebye Boss RC300 -- Pigtronix Infinity -- Boomerang N so on ...i get one of this ASAP
The Humbee of looper s. Really sick Brah..
I have to ask...why would I want a touch screen and adjustment knobs on something I'm going to control primarily with my feet? I sincerely hope there's some way to route that display to a laptop or something, with all that USB connectivity.
it is possible connect amplitube as INPUT by USB port ?
Omg are those drums on this? It's incredible
So many questions! I need to know more about these fx! Could this replace my pedalboard? I use a Boss RC-300 with a bunch of pedals... can you set up each song with different fx pre-set and ready to be used? Are the vocal fx decent? Does it include a harmonizer? Is it one-tap scrolling through the different channels/songs? Are they available in Canada? Super cool, especially if the fx are useable!

@@TidesOnEarth No you cannot control whether the mic-in is looping or not. The Boss RC-300, believe it or not, has a lot more customizability in its looping abilities. I wrote a long detailed critique of the many problems with this looper to HeadRush. Hopefully they will address the concerns.

Yes you can set up FX pre-sets. You have 4 kind of "banks" of presets that you can switch on and off. Takes four taps to turn an effect on and off (open FX menu, turn FX on, turn FX off, close FX menu). Vocal FX are decent. Includes a pedal controllable Whammy and a detune(octave) thing. Sounds pretty good, with some tweaking can sound like a bass guitar. Nothing about this thing is one tap scrolling. FX are useable, but I'd recommend having an additional MIDI device to turn them on and off...and we're just adding more setup time and more stage space. I also did an in depth dive into this thing and found LOTS of problems with its customizability. I'm hoping they address these concerns in future firmware updates. It has SO much potential but in its current state it is NOT the be-all-end-all looper pedal. Maybe BOSS will take the bait and take a stab at it. But C'MON HeadRush! You're so close!

Matt Bolton Music thank you so much for taking the time to respond! You’re right about it being so close. My RC300 and pedalboard weigh in at about 50lbs so I was excited at the idea of this potentially replacing my rig. Tap dancing is an issue for sure. Fingers crossed that the board evolves and soon as it really has a chance to be something special.

Matt Bolton Music did a test today and through routing I was able to use the mic without it looping. Mic input 1 set to track 4 and output to PA. So as long as I’m not using track 4. It won’t record the mic in. Hope that makes sense.

I was really excited to receive this Looperboard and start jamming. Nearly impossible to get it to work how I wanted. I returned it after 3 days. I am a software engineer, and I just thought the software was so poorly executed, it really frustrated me to the point of returning it for the RC-300. Not worth the money yet, They really need to do some User Research and deliver on being allegedly "the most advanced looperboard". Thought this product was a rushed, poor attempt at a Looper strung together by amateur developers/and or amateur Musicians/developers. They should talk to their Users more.

Use it?
It's an impressive block of gear, but doesn't work for me I guess. I'm on the creative side, playing and improvising, usually do a recording in one take (and yes, I use simple loopers too). When using this board I'd be hopelessly lost, trying to be a studio technician which I'm not. Trying to pre-produce and arrange my tracks before any notes are played. Love to see some videos of experts using this machine though!
Just go crazy..
I would totally get it but it’s to expensive for me. If there was a version without the display and effects that cut down on the price, I would totally get it. I just need the looping part.

So close. Ergonomics though. Needs to be two separate things. Foot buttons go on the ground and knobs and touch screen go at waist height on a stand. No one wants to do 100 burpees during a show just to adjust settings because the knobs and screen are all the way on the floor.

Absolutely garbage.
12 minute video, 11.5 minutes of overview and less than a minute of actually demo or looping. Probably one of the worst "overview demos" - what a waste of time. None will get sold based on this guy..
Yes... BUT... big BUT here: Can you actually chain the "awesome" 4 channel loops? (not just "serialize" individual tracks within any given "loop" which seriously limits what you can "add/mix/chain" into a SONG?) No you can’t!! Ridiculous! What's the point of having a great four channel “loop” if it's essentially nothing more than one "mono-thematic" section of a song!! Actual musicians (and songwriters and producers) KNOW AND HAVE LEARNED that LOOPS ARE NOT SONGS! Even stupid songs have the advantage over “loops” that they can actually have some variation between an “A” section and a “B” section. Not this thing. If you're ONLY into LOOPS, well sure, you might think this thing is great. The fact that Headrush did not provision being able to chain these “awesome 4 channel stereo track/loops” to create actual songs/arrangements from them... (like VoiceLive and a dozen other somewhat flexible loopers ) ... is unbelievable to me! What they do let you do is put any of the four tracks within a loop into a song order...what a load of bull... because what you have to understand is that doing so strips away ALL of the value of having the four tracks! Because your song sections now comprise only one stereo track each ... so now your brilliant “4 channel” machine isn’t any more advanced than a $99 Nuxe Looper, which actually has WAY more functionality because at least with it you can actually chain up to 99 sections/loops! In short calling this thing "the most advanced looper" is just total marketing bullshit. Sorry... it's just another plain STUPID Looper when you actually want to use it in an actual song/arrangement capacity. To be able to chain the actual 4 channel loops (into interesting, changing, textured, MUSICAL SECTIONS!!!) and not just sequence single tracks IN a “limited-to-only-4-sections” capacity ...well, THAT would be very useful Headrush! ... Meanwhile here’s a metaphor for you all to chew on before you go plunk down $900: ”We've got this great new RV fer y’all ... sooo advanced better than any motor-home out there ... every feature imaginable in a "home" ... except ... uh... you can only drive this thing around the block. Doesn't drive on highways." Seriously Headrush! Do your homework! It's like when you came out with the "killer" Gigboard and then totally tied it's lush stereo "sonic hands" with a frikin' MONO FX send/return! You just sucked the life out of every decent pedal I have ... looping into/through your box. Okay... now for a little compassion on my end: I LOVE the Gigboard. I almost sent it back because of that... meaning when I discovered that I couldn’t insert my $600 Strymon Timeline without collapsing it to mono (like essentially turning it into a $99 Boss delay!) ... I originally said, “fuck it”... BUT... in the case of the Gigboard (it really it IS a killer sounding beast) I was actually able to gerry-rig a workaround using a $2 stereo adapter cable from my stereo Timeline back into the aux in. Otherwise I really would have sent it back. Here’s why I’m telling you this: this proved that the Gigboard actually HAS the ability to have a stereo FX send/return... but they DIDN’t integrate it. The Looper also totally HAS the capacity to chain its four channel loops and make it actually highly functional/desirable... but again, they HAVEN’T integrated it! WTF not?? is my big question. It really makes you wonder who’s “drivin’” doesn’t it? My advice: until they get their asses in gear, and stop letting lame-o marketing dweebs run the show instead of integrating needing functionality based on talking to real-world users/musicians/producers/song-writers (or possibly “padding profits” with some down-the-road- “upgrade”)... don’t waste your money and/or support this kind of bullshit!
