Headrush MX5 Multi Effects for Electric Guitar

The MX5 is a compact pedalboard, ideal for playing at home or transporting to a concert, which borrows all the power, onboard technology, amp and effects simulations offered by its big brothers Pedalboard and Gigboard, at a price always more affordable.

A compact and user-friendly format
After the development of the imposing and robust Pedalboard designed for stage and touring, and its condensed version called Gigboard with a more compact chassis for guitarists wanting a more mobile solution, Headrush presents its ultimate version: the MX5. With its featherweight of only 1.57 kg and its 29.5 cm long by 15 cm wide, this crankset will easily fit in a backpack or in the storage compartment of a guitar gigbag.

All the power of his elders
However, the MX5 does not compromise on power and audio quality compared to the Gigboard and Pedalboard. It still carries the quad-core processor and the DSP system of its big brothers, thus delivering very high quality sounds on all 46 amplifier models, 15 speaker models associated with 10 microphone emulations. and 67 premium effects. These legendary amp and effect models feature exceptional precision and dynamic response, which you can enjoy right out of the box with numerous built-in presets.

An efficient and optimized interface
Just like on the Gigboard and Pedalboard, the MX5's interface is centered on a touchscreen to control all essential parameters and create your scenes with ease. This 4-inch high-resolution screen allows you to literally slide the different elements of your sound chain - amplifier, cabinet, effects ... - wherever you want, in the desired order, without any difficulty. The lower part of the screen has 3 locations interacting with the 3 available foot switches, allowing depending on the chosen mode to activate or deactivate effects or amps, to change rig or a hybrid between these two modes. Let's not forget the possibility of setting up real scenes, allowing to activate, deactivate and reprogram an entire rig with just one press of a switch!

An ultra-configurable quality expression pedal
The MX5 incorporates a high quality expression pedal, offering two modes of operation: Classic mode and Advanced mode, complete with a switch to toggle between banks A and B. Classic mode is ideal for those wishing to assign two different types of pedals, such as a volume pedal in A and a wah pedal in B. The Advanced mode allows you to assign up to 4 different parameters to each bank (A and B), such as the gain level or the volume of an amplifier, the intensity of an effect, and to adjust the limits of each parameter independently. This incredible mode allows you to control many parameters simultaneously, offering limitless creative possibilities.

All the necessary connections
The MX5 will fit perfectly into your current setup thanks to its comprehensive connectivity, allowing you to cope with all types of situations both on stage and in the studio. These connections include a guitar input in 6.35 mm jack format, two balanced stereo jack outputs (TRS), an auxiliary 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack input, a mini-jack headphone output, an input and a mini-jack format Midi output, an effects loop (send / return) 6.35 mm stereo jacks. Also find a USB port, which will allow you to record yourself in studio quality on your computer (up to 24-bit 96 kHz), transfer your presets and loops, and easily download future HeadRush updates for the MX5.
