Very versatile pitch shifter.

I bought this because it has user presets, so far I've found 3 or 4 patches I will definitely use live. I'm going to get an expression pedal for it soon which should take it into whammy territory. It gets a touch metallic up the high end, but it certainly has mojo. Keeper.

Big Loud Small Box

Excellent little cabinet, 2 of them will replace a trad. 4x12

Better than a Helix

The Amps in this thing are better than those in a Helix, you can say otherwise, but I am very opinionated and won't listen to you. Also I'm right.

Seriously, the amps in the Helix are fine, it's build quality is better and it has superior routing and number of effects but I use a real Plexi, and the Plexi in the Headrush is closer to it than the one in the Helix. The Headrush has less options than the Helix so I arrive at a usable tone far quicker and spend less time tweaking, seriously why have bias, transformer sag etc controls? no amp has them so why add that confusion to a modeller.

Since the last update the Headrush has all the effects you could need, I love this thing. Live I'm split, sometimes I take my Marshall sometimes the Headrush.. it's all good.

Bare bones rock machine

This SG has no bling, no binding no scratch plate, but it does have that 70s Volute on the neck which I personally like, and a pair of Dirty Fingers high output pickups. These pickups clean up great and have all the grunt you could want. It weighs nothing and feels great to play,
