Can it run dual amps? The signal routing options look limited. Could you perhaps show all of the signal chain options? Can you split and reconnect anywhere like Fractal and QC? Can you have multiple outs? This is the 3rd video I’ve watched on the unit and yours is the best as usual. Thank you!

Yeah everything gets this wrong. I will say Amplitube 5 did it to the next level though, until Tonex came along. The Tonex fuzz, I say and played with for abiut 2 hours last night. It and the germanium based pedals are insane. Wonder how well headrush handles this.

Great video, had mine a couple of weeks now and really enjoying it, I find the amp cloning easier than my Kemper and sounds just as good. It’s a little wider than the helix but slightly lighter so given the extra functionality I’m happy with that. Plus it’s built well and still a lot more convenient than my head and 2x12 plus pedals 🙂

looks fantastic. an awesome start for a new product. As long as updates are timely, this could be great.

If you are going to be lugging this from gig to gig you want to know it's going to hold up. Plus it still ways a ton less than many tube amps.

I noticed for me, when I change settings and then save, when I hit the scene button it reverts back to default parameters and not the tones I dialed in. Very odd.

Another great vid! I am a Helix owner and just picked up the HR Prime. In my opinion, the Helix sounds allot better to me. Maybe I am just used to the Helix to my ears, but when I did a side by side, the Helix sounds more realistic, full tone, better feel...its just better. The features of the HR are great, but the tones (which is most important) are just not as good as the Helix.

I have Helix, Kemper and GT1000. Using tones I made myself I’d say it’s on par with the other meddlers. The profiles I made of my amps sound as good as the Kemper, and the cloning process is easier. However the Helix has more amps and effects, that could change over time if HR releases new them in updates etc.

large? i am considering to finally switch from my koch multitone tube amp, with huge pedalboard for midi board to contral box 19 inch rack (boss something with 700 also 25 years old....weighing probably 5 times this i guess. One question: how can you have feedback. I use that moving the guitar into the speakers, what if there are no speakers.....and you hear only yourself on the inear?

Is it also possible to switch between channels on amps?

Did you use frfr speaker for this video?

What’s if compared to other like Helix , fender , DSP , Kemper

Effects parameters cant be modified per scene, am i right?

I won't shop around until my Helix does. I can't get interested in captures at all unless there was a certain amp that wasn't included and that a Friend owns. Maybe if you already had a big stable of amps already and wanted to clone them to take out live?

So, what you think if you compare gx-100 and headrush? Still remember I already have HR before. Do you use all of that HR can delivery? I think in my old HR I just use 20-30% max of all stuff. What your opinion of that?

@LeonTodd

Жыл бұрын

Touchscreen and general UI on the HR is great, and it's nice having specific models of amps (marshalls, Boogies etc) rather than the generic BOSS "stack amp", "combo amp" style thin. The GX-100 does sound great and the effects are particularly good.

I’ve had such a terrible time trying to use vocal pitch correction live. It works perfectly fine on the vocal but the bleed from the guitar and other instruments also gets affected by the tuning algorithm and creates terrible phase issues with the guitars etc. I hope they’ve found a way to solve that in a live setting.
