"My experience with headrush"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

I don't understand why this product isn't more popular. The cloning alone in this thing makes it worth every penny. The headrush cloud gives me access to hundreds and thousands of amp clones, cabs, rigs and more without having to spend an extra amount. Not only do you get access to thousands of clones, but you also have access to all of headrush's other amps, cabs, fx, boosts, etc as well as all of revalver's library of amps and cabs and it's really easy to build a rig and get into the digital world. Another thing I would like to mention is that you get access to revalver for free on your PC as well. All in all, this is a great product that I wish got more attention because I think people could really save tons of money getting one of these instead of the more expensive competitors.
Sound
Sound quality is definitely an improvement from previous headrush models and by that I mean that the cloning features have helped headrush by getting a more realistic sound than you previously could by only using the modelers. Don't get me wrong, the modelers sound great but they're a whole different category. As a guitarist for extreme music, finding the right high gain tone was a bit challenging until I got my headrush core and now I have too many options for metal amps that I enjoy.
Features
Id say the most useful feature on these new headrush products is the headrush cloud and the revalver cloning
Ease of Use
Id say it's fairly easy to get a great sound out of this thing right from the start, especially if you already own any IRs
Quality
Built wise quality is extremely goodmnit feels solid, it's decently weighted, it doesn't feel cheap. It's a greatly engineered product
Value
Definitely worth the price, if anything, I think it's underpriced compared to its competitors but other's shouldn't be that expensive in the first place, so I'd say it's prices just right.
Manufacturer Support
I haven't had an issue with headrush personally, or at least just not yet, but I keep up and interact with their social media and they usually respond back.
The Wow Factor
The ease of having thousands of tonal and vocal options from a single device is more convenient than having to carry a 4x12 or a 60 pound tube amp.

Musical Background:

Deathcore, metalcore, metal, alternative metal

"Headrush Core"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This unit is insanely good. What a great value and price. I will get hours of pleasure using this while playing and recording my guitar. And let’s not forget the insanely amazing Guys at zZounds. Yes, the Sales Guys. They are All an amazing group of Guys. I will never shop anywhere but zZounds.
Sound
I was surprised at how good this sounds through my headphones. I don’t have the right cables for my power amp but zZounds has them so I’m covered. Through the headphones though, all the presets are literally amazing.
Features
I think the sounds are the biggest plus, followed closely by the giant touchscreen. I can’t find anything that doesn’t score a 10/10 on this unit. Headrush scored a home run with this product. They hit it right out of Wrigley.
Ease of Use
I found that the sounds are great right out of the box. Though only with headphones at this point I’m sure they will doing great through my Gemini XGA 4000, purchased at zZounds, and my PA speakers. It might need a slight tweak going through the speakers but that’s a simple task on this unit.
Quality
This product is built like a concrete bomb shelter. I can safely say that there will never be any problems with the toughness or quality of build with this solid beast.
Value
At this price point and above, this unit blows the competition out of the water. I would and will recommend all my guitar and music friends to contact Zzounds and purchase one of these units.
Manufacturer Support
I have not had to contact the Headrush or Zzounds support on this product. Registration and getting on the Headrush Cloud was an amazingly easy task.
The Wow Factor
The appeal is amazing. It is stunning when you turn it on and that giant touchscreen comes on. And the illumination of the lights under the foot switches is cool also.

Musical Background:

Player since 1974 and played in many bands. Recorded an unreleased record in 1990.

Musical Style:

Metal. I didn’t know there were other genres. Thrash, Industrial, Progressive, groove Metal, just about all Metal.
