Reviewing the Headrush CORE for guitar is not simple especially after the Prime I reviewed a while back. Inside there are amplifiers, effects, IR's (speaker sims) and a host of other features that I need to share with viewers. When I looked at the Prime I considered that a bargain really, but with the CORE its a bargain and then some! With most of the features of the prime, and a smaller footprint there is not much to 'not like'! Right from the start the Headrush CORE was better: the unit connected to the internet (something the Prime failed on in its review) and boom, it was online, updated, prepared (all by itself) and then immediately ready to rock. This was good! Ha I can guarantee that I will have missed something in this Headrush CORE review but let's not worry too much as I show the truth of the device in all its glory right there in the video review. The unit is very easy to use and that's a major feature that Headrush should be congratulated on, as was the Prime (when it worked). And anyone new to the simulator type of products won't have much trouble with the controls. Remember there is no editing software available and likely there won't be any! The amp cloning (it actually can copy amps, cabs, effects and more) effects processors and other units all have their own particular way of creating copies of tones. This is NOT a Kemper Amp, nor a Neural Networks unit but how would it fare against the Fender Tone Master Pro pedal just released? That's a great question and while I don't compare here maybe that's for another day. In this video, I'm looking at the new Headrush CORE Close Up pedalboard and answering some questions about the CORE regarding the recent Tone Master pro pedal. Are you looking for a tube amp replacement? Or do you just want to add some extra distortion or other effects to your guitar sound? Check out this video to see what the Headrush Core Close Up pedalboard is all about and what it can do for your guitar playing! And does the Headrush CORE come even close to what most tube amps provide - excellent tones AND feel? Somehow I don't think so, but it's all subjective and you might disagree... All Headrush tones are unmodified. My next big review from this one is the Fender Tone Master Pro! Visit my website: https://tonymckenzie.com for some great reviews not on YouTube. I also give a fair score of the CORE based on my own experiences as a paying customer. Lastly, there is tone examples and then a short rock piece showing the CORE in a musical context.
