HeadRush VX5 Auto-Tune
Voice effects processor with Auto-Tune and pedal-format FX
Sing with the pros' secret weapon
At the heart of the VX5 is the iconic Auto-Tune® algorithm, made famous by the greatest artists of our time. This essential tool in music production has redefined modern singing, opening up new creative possibilities and expanding the potential of your favorite instrument: your voice.
With the VX5, this technology finally becomes accessible in an intuitive form, designed for today’s musicians and producers.
From your natural voice to the signature effect
Whether you want to enhance your performance or assert a unique vocal style, the VX5 gives you the tools to shape your voice with precision and creativity. Thanks to its dedicated Retune Speed and Humanize controls, finely adjust pitch correction: from a subtle aid that respects your performance to the iconic Auto-Tune® effect heard on countless hits.
But the VX5 is not limited to pitch correction: it features a range of professional effects — reverb, delay, chorus, compression, and character effects — to enrich your voice in depth. With its built-in intelligent harmonizer, you can generate natural backing vocals in real time from chords played on a keyboard or guitar.
An accessible and versatile tool, designed for you
Thanks to the two footswitches, change presets in a flash, activate Talk mode to mute effects during an exchange with the audience, or simply manage effect activation within each preset without losing track. And for artists working with playback, the VX5 offers a MIDI connection via USB to automate your sound changes, giving you perfect control and freeing your energy for performance.
In the studio or live, the VX5 becomes your reliable partner for a controlled, smooth vocal sound that always reflects your image.
Your voice’s ally, from studio to stage
The VX5 doesn’t just enhance your voice live: it also integrates perfectly into your production setup. Thanks to its 24-bit / 48 kHz stereo USB audio interface, you can record your vocals directly into your computer or favorite DAW — whether to capture an idea on the fly, lay down backing vocals for a live set, or produce your tracks at home.
