Product Information

The HeadRush Core's "complete guitar and vocal rig" capability is a game-changer for any performing musician. This compact unit replaces multiple pedals and processors, providing everything from reverb and distortion to high-quality vocal effects, all at your fingertips. With the HeadRush Core, you can easily achieve a harmonious blend of guitar and vocal tones, creating a cohesive live or studio performance. But the real standout feature is its Amp Cloner. This proprietary technology precisely captures the sound, dynamics, and feel of your favourite analogue gear. Any amp, any pedal, any microphone – the Amp Cloner can clone it, adding true-to-life emulations to your arsenal. This allows you to recreate the unique sound of your favourite gear, bringing an unprecedented level of authenticity to your performances. The HeadRush Core truly embodies ultimate versatility and convenience in one powerful unit. Build your setup in seconds with a 7" touchscreen display Minimal fuss, maximum fun! With the HeadRush Core's large touschreen display you can build, tweak and reset your ideal rig in moments with a few simple swipes. Its high fidelity colour screen and pedal imagery makes it easy to see your current rig at a glance, without getting lost in a sea of menus. Best in class looper The Boss EV-30 Expression Control Pedal is a compact yet powerful tool for professional expression control. Designed with a small footprint to fit perfectly on cramped pedalboards, this pedal features a sturdy die-cast aluminium chassis that ensures durability and reliability, as expected from BOSS. A standout specification is its innovative internal mechanism, which provides an ultra-smooth feel and precise parameter control. Despite its compact size, this pedal delivers a performance that rivals full-size expression pedals.

The EV-30 doesn’t have to be used as a chaos engine. It’s easy to set up comfortable sweep parameters for one or two effects. There’s also a handy polarity switch so you can use stomps with different expression pedal configurations. But the real fun comes when you abandon the ample potential for control the EV-30 provides and let creative randomness prevail. Expression functionality isn’t only Boss’ game. We also connected an EV-30 to an Earthquaker Devices, the Astral Destiny, controlling the rate function of our shimmer delay nicely.

The extra functionality of the EV-30 takes a minute to sort. Two controls labeled “min” let you dial in the expressive range of each output. And if you want to dial in very specific relationships between two effects, you’ll need some patience. But exploring such nebulous relationships is great fun. And the way respective sweeps collide and slide past one another exploits the personalities (or personality clash) of familiar effects in unexpected ways. You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail.

Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty The active Ernie Ball volume pedal is a go-to, however Jim Dunlop also produce the Volume X, which is a popular passive design. Both of these brands also produce mini volume pedal versions, which can save precious real-estate on pedalboards. Expression Pedals You can trust Guitar World Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing guitar products so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.This processor not only provides premium emulations of vintage, modern, and boutique guitar gear, but also expands its library through regular firmware updates. Its proprietary 'smart cloning' technology allows you to expand your onboard amp and FX library using real gear. All these, along with an intuitive looper and practice tools, make the HeadRush Core a complete guitar and vocal rig right at your feet. Moreover, the Core is equipped with numerous I/O options, including Wi-Fi and USB Audio, ensuring efficient connectivity for different performance scenarios. The potential of many pedals goes unmet because a player doesn’t have—or bother to use—an expression pedal. The rugged Boss EV-30 offers a great way to solve that simple problem. But one of the best things about the EV-30 is the way you can harness the untapped possibilities of two expression pedal-enabled stompboxes. The other best thing? The resulting sounds can range from subtle tone shifts to psychotic sonic episodes. Overall, considering the durability and the universal compatibility we experienced, using this pedal with Boss and non-Boss products alike, it’s well worth adding to your pedalboard. The somewhat compact size won’t take up a lot of space and it gives the player a lot more functionality for whatever device it’s connected to. PROS: With the ability to load songs from Dropbox, internal storage, or connected USB drives, our practice tools offer convenience and flexibility. You can loop song sections, adjusting the tempo without affecting the pitch and vice-versa, allowing you to practice at your own pace. Additionally, we provide Bluetooth audio connectivity, enabling you to play along with mobile devices for an enhanced practice experience. Specifications You’ll find that many delay, reverb, modulation and multi-effects units will be compatible, with their mix or rate controls controllable with an expression pedal. Mission Engineering are a brand that create these specifically for certain units, producing a Kemper expression pedal and a Line 6 Helix version too.

Two types of volume pedals are available - passive and active. A passive volume pedal doesn’t require power from a PSU, and works in a similar way to your guitar’s volume pot (but in a pedal format). An active pedal however does need power, but will feature a buffered circuit to ensure that your signal remains strong with no degradation or loss of top-end presence. Dimensions: Width: 16.08" x depth: 9.24" x height: 2.64" inches (Width: 40.84 x depth: 23.46 x height: 6.70 cm) The majority of expression pedals are passive, which means they require no additional power to operate. This is another plus point when adding to your pedalboard as you’re essentially getting another hands-free effect without taking up one of your valuable power outlets. Many multi-effects units have expression pedal inputs too, so never fear if you want expression pedal functionality but don’t have a traditional pedalboard.

Expression Pedals

The HeadRush Core is designed with practicality in mind, featuring a road-ready steel chassis to withstand the rigours of touring. It boasts five customisable footswitches, each with colour LEDs, ensuring easy navigation during live performances. This rugged unit is not just durable but offers the flexibility needed by modern musicians. Boss’ manual states that they can’t guarantee the functionality of the EV-30 with all non-Boss devices. This could be considered a “your mileage may vary” situation — we had more than a few pedals and devices connected to an EV-30, made by a variety of manufacturers, and we found no issues on our end. If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
