firmware updates, file transfers, and for using Flex Prime as a 24-bit audio interface.
The Headrush Flex Prime is the most compact model in HeadRush’ s second-generation HeadRush lineup, following up on the first generation Headrush MX-5. Like the second generation HeadRush Prime and HeadRush Core, the user interface on HeadRush Flex Prime has been extensively redesigned with a new, icon-driven menu layout.
At the center of the HeadRush Flex Prime interface is a 4-inch high-resolution touchscreen which serves as the main hub for navigating menus, editing rigs, and accessing various features. Flex Prime has the same DSP capabilities as the larger HeadRush Prime and Core models, supporting up to 14 effect blocks per preset with multiple signal paths. Compared to the larger HeadRush Core and Prime models, the Flex Prime has a smaller screen and reduced amount of footswitches, but the processing power and internal sounds and effects remain identical.
A large main volume knob allows for quick overall volume adjustments, while a rotary encoder facilitates scrolling through menu options and adjusting parameter values, with a press-to-confirm function that streamlines the editing process.
Getting around Flex Prime is easy and intuitive, with the touch screen displaying essential controls such as the input block, signal chain, and output block details. Users can view the selected rig name, footswitch assignments, and signal path visualization while accessing practice tools, a tuner, metronome, looper, firmware updater, global EQ, and much more. The top menu bar shows CPU usage, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi status, and rig name. Users can switch rigs by swiping down and selecting via the touchscreen or encoder knob.
Creating a new rig is as simple as tapping the“ New Rig” icon and customizing the signal chain. Using the Headrush Flex Prime scene feature you can assign multiple effects to one of the three footswitches to allow you to make more complex changes to your sound using only one footswitch. The process of rearranging blocks within your signal chain is done on the main user interface. Changes can be saved as new rigs or updated within existing presets.
For hands-free control, Flex Prime includes three footswitches that can be assigned to activate or deactivate effects blocks, scenes, or load factory or user created patches. Holding these footswitches grants access to additional functions such as changing footswitch modes, opening the looper, or activating the tuner. An onboard expression pedal further enhances playability, allowing dynamic control over various parameters such as volume, pitch, or wah effects. These physical controls, combined with the touchscreen interface, provide a comprehensive and flexible platform for creating, editing and controlling your rigs.
Flex Prime comes bundled with HeadRush Amp Cloner and ReValver 5 software for MacOS and Windows for precise audio cloning of amplifiers, distortion, overdrive, and other effect pedals. Users may not be able to create their own clones— but they still get the benefits of being able to instantly expand their onboard amp model library, especially when they want a more obscure or specific sound. Users can also access the Headrush Cloud and can expand their online library of amp medals and effects by downloading one of the thousands of clones created and shared by other users. Using the new HeadRush Super Clone feature, you are able to morph between multiple existing clones to create your own custom amp models. Additionally, the included ReValver
