Caters to all your setup needs
There's nothing you can’t do with this unit. It all starts with the crystal-clear touchscreen, which lets you navigate through all your settings with unparalleled ease. The interface itself is incredibly intuitive, displaying all your effects and amp/cab models in one place. In addition to the incredible built-in effects, which include a superb looper for writing and performing, there's also a built-in stereo effects loop for adding your own pedals into the mix. With this, you can use the four cable method to add in stereo pedals too, creating luscious soundscapes in the process.
Record and re-amp via USB, which allows you to add in your own IRs and use the MX5 as a 24-bit interface. Boasting a MIDI input and output, this beast caters to patch controls, footswitch expansions and much more. Your live shows can become so much more with these capabilities. The headphone output completes the setup, allowing you to plug in and play in an instant – and make no external noise. This amp modeller will improve every facet of your rig.
V2.4 Firmware Update
The HeadRush amp and FX library is continuously expanding. Users have spoke and the creators have listened, delivering with four new amp models, two new overdrive settings, a ferocious fuzz pedal, and a brilliant bass amp. The four new amplifiers emit a collective selection of bright and blissful cleans, heavy saturating crunch tones, and finally menacing metal loads with crisp characteristics. This goes hand in hand with a multitude of effects that are based off titans of the pedal industry. Bassists aren’t excluded here, they will be able to add the B Dist 7000 to their library, inspired heavily by the Darkglass Microtubes.
