About this deal

Other quarter‑inch TRS jack sockets carry the MX5’s stereo effects loop and balanced main stereo outputs, with TRS minijacks being provided for headphones, auxiliary audio input and MIDI I/O. The LED strips above the footswitch, which allow safe operation in live situations thanks to freely selectable colors, prove to be a practical detail. The maximum length of each loop is 5 minutes, and it can hold up to 20 minutes of layered audio at a time, making it incredibly powerful. This powerful feature is an incredibly efficient way to create quick access for different tones in the same rig. You could use the MX5 to replace a Whammy, delay, reverb and modulation, with control over all four effects.

Please give us the reason for your assessment in the following text box and – if possible – your e-mail addThis can be used to change rig presets and specific Program Change messages can be assigned on the Hardware Assign page for each preset. You can assemble chains of almost arbitrary complexity, but unlike the larger floorboards, you can only control three effects in a more complex chain. With built in USB connectivity, the MX5 can be can be used as a 24-bit 96 kHz audio interface for intuitive recording and reamping, making it a versatile asset in your recording environment.

The MX5 is loaded with premium features, many of which are exclusive to HeadRush that you won't find anywhere else.The Line 6 HX Stomp™ XL is a professional-grade amp and effects processor that delivers HXTM modelling in a performance-ready pedal with eight capacitive-touch footswitches. Using the toe switch will select the other expression pedal and leave the current pedal's parameters active and at their maximum values.

Disabling the emulated amps, we ran the pedal into a low-wattage EL84 tube amp, and found that it had no trouble pushing the amp into saturation with its overdrive and boost models. A second, external expression pedal can also be connected, courtesy of a rear‑panel quarter‑inch TRS jack socket.The information obtained through cookies allows us to compile ad performance statistics and serve retargeting ads on The Trade Desks advertising network. Before powering up this time, I turned down the MX5 volume powered up and, was relieved to find out the right side was working. There are just enough parameters to give you plenty of control without falling into option paralysis. I just use the effects rather than the amp models as my amp does not have an effects loop and I like the sound of my amp anyway. This means that a model will not turn on/off until the associated pedal is released, which may differ from some standalone pedals that active/deactivate on the initial press.

The MX5 has a touchscreen has been downsized from seven inches to four but viewed in proportion it still commands our attention, and it is super satisfying using drag-and-drop icons to put together a signal chain. You can even toggle multiple effects on and off from a single switch when in Scenes mode — this kind of instant access is critical when needing to swap rigs on the fly when playing live. These discounts are usually communicated through newsletters, which are created and managed by us with the tool "Emarsys". Here you can choose models assigned to that scene and whether they turn on or off when the scene is activated. Yes, The HeadRush MX5 supports all common wave formats (WAV, AIFF), sample rates (up to 192kHz), and bit depths (up to 32-bit).Still, I'd challenge any non-musician to hear the difference between what the amps do and what the newer modelers or a tube amp will do "once the drums and bass come in" (to clone an old phrase). The BOSS ME series has been a favourite of performing guitarists for over three decades, combining multi-effects power with intuitive hands-on control for crafting tones in seconds. With a ¼-inch guitar input, two ¼-inch TRS outputs that are switchable between amp or line level, a ⅛-inch output for headphones, a 5-Pin MIDI in/out through two ⅛-inch-to-MIDI adapters, as well as a built-in ¼-inch stereo FX loop that lets you add external pedals at any point in the signal chain. In addition to this, the radiant high-resolution display offers critical feedback exactly where, and when, you need it, making things simple, fast, and intuitive, especially when you need to adjust or completely recreate your tones post-haste. Plus, it features gapless preset changes with reverb and delay tail spillover, a built-in looper with 20 minutes of record time, the ability to load custom impulse response files, and exclusive original boutique effects that can’t be found anywhere else.
