HeadRush Core Multi-FX Amp Modeler and Vocal Processor Pedal

A compact, road-ready floorboard combining a powerful guitar amp modeler, a full vocal processor with Antares Auto-Tune, a built-in looper, amp cloning, and a 7-inch touchscreen — your entire rig in one pedal.

A Smart Fit For You

The Core is the kind of floorboard that makes you rethink how much gear you actually need to haul to a gig. Guitarists get an ever-expanding library of amps, cabs, mics, and effects modeled with serious detail by HeadRush and ReValver with factory presets curated by ChopTones, plus the rare ability to clone your own amps, preamps, drives, and fuzzes into the unit using the included Amp Cloner software. Singer-songwriters and worship players get a full vocal FX suite with the industry-standard Antares Auto-Tune for tight pitch correction, harmony, doubling, and effects — all running in parallel with the guitar chain. The 7-inch touchscreen makes building rigs as fast as swiping and dragging, the looper records up to 5 minutes per layer with 20 minutes of total overdub time, and the onboard drum machine powered by Alesis Drums and BFD turns it into a full practice and writing station.

Sound and Workflow

The Core feels like a real instrument because the touchscreen workflow stays out of your way. Build a chain by swiping in amps, cabs, and effects, audition mics on the cab models, drop in an IR, route your vocal in parallel with Antares Auto-Tune and a delay-reverb pair, and save it — all in less time than it takes to patch a complex pedalboard. Gapless preset switching with tail spillover means you can change between songs without a hard cutoff on your reverb or delay trails, which is a huge quality-of-life upgrade live. The amp cloning workflow is fast and guided: connect your amp or pedal, follow the on-screen wizard, and the Core captures the dynamic response so it actually feels like your amp under your hands. Plug in headphones for silent practice with Bluetooth backing tracks, or send a stereo XLR feed straight to front-of-house — no real amp required.
