Rigs

While using HeadRush Gigboard, a rig is a preset: the combination of assigned models—the amps, cabs, and effects—and the parameter settings of each of them. You can create, edit, save, and load rigs, making it easy to recall the perfect sound for each part of your performance.

Each rig has 11 slots, each of which can have one model (amp, cab, or effect) assigned to it. Assigned slots will show graphical representations of the models, and empty slots will show a symbol.

Creating a New Rig

To create a new rig, tap the  button in the upper-right corner of the screen, and tap New Rig.

To assign a model (amp, cab, or effect) to an empty slot:

1.Tap the empty slot ().

2.In the list that appears, tap the type of model you want to assign: Amp, Cab, or effect (Distortion, Dynamics/EQ, Modulation, Reverb/Delay, FX-Loop, or Expression).

3.In the list that appears, tap the model you want to assign.

4.In the next list that appears, tap the preset you want to load for that model.

If you load an amp or cab to a slot with an empty adjacent slot, a matching amp or cab will be loaded automatically to the other slot. After that, you can configure them independently: you can separate them in the signal chain, you can change the type of the amp or cab, and you can delete each model separately.

The signal chain is the path that the audio signal follows from your guitar through your selected models and ends at the outputs of HeadRush Gigboard. You can use the touchscreen to arrange your selected models in any sequence, but you may find that some configurations will sound better than others.

Here are some common model placement suggestions for creating tones with HeadRush Gigboard:

Dynamics (e.g., compressors), filters (e.g., wah, pitch shifters), and volume pedals generally are placed at the beginning of the signal chain. Alternatively, you can place volume pedals at the end of the signal chain to provide a slight variance in functionality.

Gain-based effects (e.g., overdrive/distortion, fuzz) usually come next.

Equalization (EQ) is often used to shape the tonal characteristics of overdrive/distortion and fuzz effects, so put an EQ after them. Alternatively, place it before them to shape the guitar’s general tone—cutting unwanted frequencies—before the gain pedals.

Modulation effects like flangers, phasers, and chorus are typically placed next.

Time-based effects like delays and reverbs are generally placed near the end of the signal chain.

An amp and a cab are often placed at the very end of the signal chain, although you can place it wherever you want.

Hardware Assign

The Hardware Assign screen enables you to customize how HeadRush Gigboard’s footswitches and an expression pedal control each rig.

To open the Hardware Assign screen, tap the  button in the upper-right corner of the main screen, and then tap

Hardware Assign.

To return to the main screen, tap the button in the upperleft corner.

Important: The Hardware Assign settings are all part of the overall rig, so remember to save your changes you want to keep.

To set the color associated with the rig, tap it in the upper-left part of the screen. This color will appear next to the rig name when you view a list of all available rigs or when you view and create setlists. It will also be the color of the corresponding footswitch indicator when HeadRush Gigboard is in Rig Mode.

To set the tempo of the rig’s time-based effects (delays, modulation, etc.), tap the button under Tempo to select Current or Fixed.

Current: The rig will use the last-used tempo or the one set by the Tempo footswitch.

To set the tempo, press the Tempo footswitch at the desired tempo 3–8 times to set the new tempo in beats per minute (BPM).

Fixed: The rig will use a tempo that you set here.

To set the tempo, turn the encoder to set the desired tempo in beats per minute (BPM). You can set the tempo only in this Hardware Assign screen.

To load a rig when a MIDI program change is received from an optional external MIDI device, or to send a MIDI program change message when a rig is loaded, tap the button under MIDI, and then turn the encoder to select a MIDI program change number. You can adjust whether MIDI program changes are received and/or sent in the Global Settings menu.

Note: If a rig is using a number, that number will be unavailable and cannot be assigned to another rig. Additionally, saving a rig with a new name will save the rig but without the program change number to prevent rigs from sharing the same number.

Footswitches

The 4 boxes in the lower-left corner represent the 4 footswitches of HeadRush Gigboard. You can assign any switch-based parameters (ones with only two states) to any of the footswitches—regardless of their location in the signal chain.

To assign a parameter to a footswitch:

1.Tap a box. indicates an empty box.

2.In the list that appears, tap the model with the parameter you want to assign.

3.In the list that appears, tap the parameter you want to assign. Usually, the parameter will simply be On (to activate or deactivate it).

Tap Unassigned to unassign that footswitch.

To swap two assignments, tap and drag one of them over the other, and then release it.

11

Ext. Amp

You can assign a switch to send a signal to your amplifier’s footswitch input by using the external amp output. You can use this feature to do things like change from the clean to dirty channel, or turn reverb on and off on your amplifier.

To use this feature when switching to a rig, tap the button under Ext Amp on the hardware assign page, and then select Tip, Ring, or Both. If you are unsure of which setting to use, please consult the amplifier's manual or manufacturer to confirm.

This feature can also be assigned to a footswitch on the Model Selector page that appears when you are assigning a footswitch’s function.

This function can also be assigned to a scene by adjusting the parameter on the Scene Editor screen.

IMPORTANT! Only connect this output to amplifiers that have a "short-to-sleeve" footswitch input. If you connect this output to any other type of footswitch input, you may cause permanent damage to your equipment. If you are unsure if your amplifier has a “short-to-sleeve” footswitch input, please consult the amplifier’s manual or manufacturer to confirm.

Scenes

The Scene feature allows you to turn multiple models on or off in each rig. When you press the footswitch assigned to that scene, all models included in that scene will turn on or off, depending on how you assign them. This is a great way to create multiple tones in the same rig. For instance, you may want a particular reverb model to be on anytime a particular distortion model is also on. Alternatively, you may want to turn one delay model off when you turn another one on. Scenes enable you to do this with only one footswitch press.

To create and edit a scene:

1.On the Hardware Assign screen, tap Toggle/Scene for the desired footswitch to cycle through the available options, and select Scene.

2.On that model, tap Edit. The Scene Editor will appear, which shows all models in your rig.

3.For each model in the rig, tap it to cycle through the available options:

On: This model will turn on when you turn the scene on.

Off: This model will turn off when you turn the scene on.

No Change: This model will remain unaffected when you turn the scene on.

4.Tap a color at the bottom of the touchscreen to select a color for the scene.

5.Tap the button in the upper-left corner to return to the

Hardware Assign screen.

To rename a scene (which appears indicators), tap the text in the box below use the virtual keyboard that appears to then tap anywhere other than the text field.

in the footswitch Edit on the model, enter a name, and

Expression Pedal

You can connect an optional expression pedal (sold separately) to control two parameters (in Classic Mode) or two sets of parameters (in Advanced Mode). If your expression pedal has a toe switch, you can use the toe switch to switch between them—Expression Pedal A or B.

Note: When you save your rig, the currently selected Expression Pedal state (A or B) will be saved and then recalled when you load the rig again.

The column of four boxes represents the expression pedal settings. You can assign one or more continuously adjustable parameters (ones with a range of values) to the expression pedal.

To set the expression pedal mode, tap the button above Range in the upper-right corner to select Classic or Advanced.

Classic: You can assign one parameter to each expressional pedal (A and B). Using the toe switch will select the other expression pedal and deactivate (bypass) the current expression pedal’s parameter. For instance, if you assign a wah pedal to Expression Pedal A and a volume pedal to Expression Pedal B, only one of them will be active at any time; when you are controlling the wah pedal, the volume pedal will be bypassed, and vice versa.

Advanced: You can assign up to four parameters to each expression pedal (A and B). Moving the pedal will adjust all of its assigned parameters simultaneously. Using the toe switch will select the other expression pedal and leave the current pedal’s parameters active and at their maximum values.

To assign a parameter to an expression pedal:

1.If the Assign button is not on, tap it.

2.Tap a box under the Assign button. indicates an empty box.

3.In the list that appears, tap the model with the parameter you want to assign.

4.In the list that appears, tap the parameter you want to assign.

Tap Unassigned to unassign that box.

To swap two assignments (while in Advanced Mode), tap and drag one of them over the other, and then release it.

To set the range of an assigned parameter:

1.If the Range button is not on, tap it.

2.Tap a value under the Range button.

3.Turn the encoder to set the desired value as a percentage of the parameter’s entire range. Press the encoder or tap elsewhere to confirm the value.

13

Setlists

You can use setlists to organize your rigs. A setlist is a saved collection of rigs, which you can save and recall at a later time. This is useful, for instance, if you only need some of your rigs for a performance; you can save a setlist of just those rigs so you don’t have to spend time searching through all of your rigs before playing the next song.

To view your setlists, tap the ≡ button in the upper-left corner of the main screen. The Setlists screen will appear.

To return to the main screen, tap the button in the upper-left corner.

To create a setlist:

1.Tap New in the upper-right corner.

2.In the screen that appears, the left half is a list of all available rigs, and the right half is the list of rigs in the setlist.

To add a rig to the setlist, tap it to add it to the end of the list. Alternatively, tap and hold it, and then drag it to the desired location in the list. You can add the same rig to a setlist more than once. The [Empty ] rig in the lower-left corner is a slot to use as a placeholder to make rearranging the setlist easier; it will not be available as a selectable rig when moving through rigs in the setlist.

To rearrange the setlist, tap and hold a rig in the list on the right half, and then drag it to the desired location in the list.

To remove a rig from the setlist, tap the on its right edge.

To save a setlist, tap Save in the upper-right corner.

To save your changes to the current setlist, tap Save.

To save your changes as a new setlist, tap Save New Setlist, use the keyboard that appears to enter a name, and then tap Save.

(At any time) To return to the previous screen without saving, tap Cancel.

To discard any changes you’ve made to the setlist, tap the button in the upper-left corner, and tap Discard Changes.

To load a setlist:

1.While viewing the main screen, tap the ≡ button in the upper-left corner to view the Setlists screen. Each setlist will show the number of rigs in parentheses (including multiple instances of the same rig).

2.Tap the desired setlist. The first rig of that setlist will load immediately. Tap All Rigs to view all rigs instead of a specific setlist.

To edit a setlist, tap the  button on its left side, and then tap the pencil icon. You will see the same screen you used to create the setlist, where you can edit and save it.

To delete a setlist, tap the  button on its left side, and then tap the trash can icon. Tap Yes to confirm the deletion or Cancel to return to the Setlists screen without deleting it.

To record the first layer of a loop, press the Record footswitch. Recording will begin immediately and the footswitch indicator will light red. Press the Record footswitch again to stop recording and start loop playback. The footswitch is now called Overdub and the footswitch indicator is yellow.

To record additional layers onto the loop (overdub), press the Overdub footswitch. Overdubbing will begin immediately and the footswitch indicator will light red. Press the Overdub footswitch again to stop overdubbing and continue playback.

To erase the top-most (last-added) layer of the loop, press the Peel footswitch. The top-most layer of the loop will be erased immediately. This process is destructive, so you can’t re-add it later.

To clear the full loop, press and hold the Clear footswitch. This process will stop playback and is destructive, so you can't re-add it later.

To halve or double the length of the loop, tap the button next to the Length field and then turn the encoder. The halving process is non-destructive, so you can restore your original loop and its content by doubling the length of the loop.

To halve or double the speed of the looper, tap the button next to the Speed field and then turn the encoder.

Tip: Use this to create low bass lines or ultra-high guitar parts that you couldn’t ordinarily play.

USB Audio Settings:

Note: Download the complete HeadRush Gigboard User Guide from headrushfx.com in order to learn more about configuring your DAW.

Important note for Windows users: Before connecting the Headrush Gigboard to your computer, download and install the necessary drivers from headrushfx.com/support.

Sample Rate: This setting determines the sample rate of the USB audio signal: 44.1 kHz, 48.0 kHz or 96.0 kHz. Remember to select the same sample rate as the one in your DAW. Also, set it before opening your DAW.

USB Audio: This setting determines whether or not HeadRush Gigboard is sending a USB audio signal over a USB connection. Tap On to enable sending of the USB audio signal with the selected Sample Rate. Tap Off to disable the USB audio signal. (To change the Sample Rate, set USB Audio to Off first, select the correct sample rate, set USB Audio to On again, and restart your DAW.)

USB Mode: This setting determines how the HeadRush Gigboard sends its audio signal over the USB connection and how its outputs function while doing so:

Live: The audio signal will be sent to your computer as well as to the HeadRush Gigboard’s outputs.

DAW: The audio signal will be sent to your computer only. The HeadRush Gigboard’s outputs will be disabled to prevent any latency while monitoring.

Reamp: Your computer will send an audio signal to the HeadRush Gigboard, which will process it through the current rig and send it back to your computer. The HeadRush Gigboard’s outputs will be disabled to prevent any latency while monitoring.

Assignments:

Auto Assign: This setting determines how models are assigned to the switches. Tap On if you want models to be automatically assigned to the next available switch when you load them. Tap Off if you want models to load without being assigned to a switch; you will have to assign them manually in the Hardware Assign screen.

Expression Pedal / Ext Amp:

Toe Switch: Change this parameter to Latch if your expression pedal uses a latching toe switch or Momnt if your expression pedal uses a momentary toe switch.

Pedal Polarity: If it seems like your expression pedal is registering motion in the wrong direction, you can change this parameter to invert the pedal polarity. Select between Norm (normal) and Inv (inverted).

Ext Amp Polarity: If it seems like your external amplifier is getting the opposite messages you intended, change this parameter to invert the messages sent to the External Amp Footswitch Output. Select between Norm (normal) and Inv (inverted).

MIDI Settings: These settings determine how the HeadRush Gigboard sends and receives MIDI information to and from external devices. These settings affect only the HeadRush Gigboard’s MIDI input or MIDI output.

MIDI Thru: Tap On to use the MIDI output as a MIDI throughput; any MIDI information sent to the HeadRush Gigboard’s MIDI input will be sent directly to the MIDI output. Tap Off to use the HeadRush Gigboard’s MIDI output normally; the HeadRush Gigboard will be able to send its own MIDI information out of the MIDI output.

Recv MIDI Clock: Tap On to enable the HeadRush Gigboard to receive MIDI clock information. Tap Off to use the HeadRush Gigboard’s own internal MIDI clock (which will not be sent out).

Prog Change: Tap Send to enable or disable the HeadRush Gigboard’s transmission of MIDI program change messages when you load a rig. Tap Recv to enable or disable the HeadRush Gigboard’s reception of MIDI program change messages from an external MIDI device.

MIDI Channel: This setting determines the MIDI channel(s) that the HeadRush Gigboard will send and receive MIDI messages. Tap this field, turn the encoder to select all channels (Omni), or 116, and then press the encoder.

18

Reminders:

Confirm Unsaved: This setting determines whether or not you will see a confirmation message if you change the rig while there are unsaved changes on the current one. Tap On to enable these messages or Off to disable them.

Alternatively, tap Do not show this dialog again in the message itself to disable them.

Global EQ:

These settings on Page 2 determine if/how equalization is applied for your outputs. This equalizer is a four-band parametric equalizer.

Tip: These settings are especially useful when a venue, rehearsal space, etc. has different acoustic characteristics than the room where you originally created your presets (e.g., the venue may sound “boomier,” or a rehearsal space with soundproofing may deaden some of the high end). This page lets you quickly apply some additional equalization to all of your presets without permanently saving them.

EQ On: This setting determines whether equalization is enabled (On) or disabled (Off) for the outputs.

Level: This setting determines if/how much the outputs’ audio signal level is boosted or cut. This value is applied to the level set by the Master knob.

Low Band & High Band: These settings determine what type of equalization is applied to the lowestfrequency band (Low Band) and to the highest-frequency band (High Band): Shelf or Cut.

Low, Low Mid, High & High Mid: The three settings for each of these four frequency bands determine the shape of the equalization:

The first setting (Hz) determines the center frequency of the low-frequency band, low-mid-frequency band, high-frequency band, or high-mid-frequency band.

The second setting (dB) determines how much the equalizer boosts or cuts the signal at the corresponding frequency band.

The third setting (Q) determines the width of the frequency band. The higher the setting, the wider the band will be around the center frequency (the first setting). This setting is applied whether Low Band or

High Band is set to Shelf or Cut.

Alt Rig Footswitch View:

4 Rigs / No Hold: Change this setting to On to switch from Rig Mode to Alternate Rig Mode. See Footswitch Modes to learn more.

Color Mod:

If you have trouble distinguishing certain colors on your Gigboard’s display or if you just want to further customize the color scheme, you can use the color mod parameters to adjust their default settings. While experimenting with the settings, a sample of your adjustments will be shown in real time. If you want to return to the default color scheme, the default settings are as follows:

Depth: 0% Color: 36 DEG Spread: 180 DEG

Note: The Color Mod feature is disabled when the Screen Lock feature is enabled.

Transferring Files & Settings

Over a USB connection, you can transfer rig, setlist, model preset, loop and/or impulse response (IR) files between your computer and the HeadRush Gigboard.

We recommend creating a backup copy of your files to your computer before you make any changes.

Important:

Do not disconnect or power off the HeadRush Gigboard during the process.

Any unsupported files will be ignored.

You cannot transfer a folder or .zip/archive folder to/from HeadRush Gigboard. Instead, transfer any supported files directly.

We recommend organizing the file structure of your rigs, setlists, model presets, and/or impulse response files on your computer so that it’s identical to the file structure as shown on the HeadRush Gigboard “drive.”

To transfer files between the HeadRush Gigboard and your computer:

1.Connect your computer to the HeadRush Gigboard’s USB port using a standard USB cable.

2.With your computer powered on, power on the HeadRush Gigboard using the power switch.

3.Tap the  button in the upper-right corner of the screen, and tap Global Settings.

4.In the Global Settings screen, tap the  button in the upper-right corner of the screen, and tap USB Transfer. On your computer, the HeadRush Gigboard will appear as a mass-storage device called HeadRush.

Windows users: If this is the first time you’ve connected it to this computer, you may need to wait a minute while it installs the class-compliant drivers.

5.Open the HeadRush drive. You can now freely click and drag contents between HeadRush and your computer. Note that any changes you make to the contents of your HeadRush are immediate and cannot be cancelled.

6.IMPORTANT: When you are finished transferring contents, you must unmount/eject the Headrush drive from your computer.

7.After the drive has been ejected, tap Sync on your HeadRush Gigboard to "commit" any changes you made to the contents of the HeadRush drive. An additional prompt will appear to confirm you have ejected the drive. Tap Proceed to continue or Cancel to continue accessing files on your computer.

As the HeadRush Gigboard analyzes and imports the files, a meter on the display will indicate its progress. The normal Global Settings screen will reappear when the process is finished. Do not disconnect or power off HeadRush Gigboard during the sync process.

Configuraciones

Al utilizar la HeadRush Gigboard, una configuración es un preset: la combinación de modelos—amplificadores, gabinetes y efectos—asignados y los ajustes de los parámetros de cada uno de ellos. Puede crear, editar, guardar y cargar configuraciones para recuperar fácilmente el sonido perfecto para cada parte de su interpretación.

Cada configuración tiene 11 ranuras, cada una de las cuales puede tener un modelo (amplificador, gabinete o efectos) asignado a ella. Las ranuras asignadas exhibirán representaciones gráficas de los modelos y las ranuras vacías exhibirán un símbolo de .

Creación de una configuración nueva

Para crear una configuración nueva, toque el botón  ubicado en la esquina superior derecha de la pantalla y toque New Rig.

Para asignar un modelo (amplificador, gabinete o efecto) a una ranura vacía:

1.Toque la ranura vacía ().

2.En la lista que aparece, toque el tipo de modelo que desea asignar: Amp, Cab o efecto (Distortion, Dynamics/EQ, Modulation, Reverb/Delay, FX-Loop o Expression).

3.En la lista que aparece, toque el modelo que desea asignar.

4.En la siguiente lista que aparece, toque el preset que desea cargar para ese modelo.

Si carga un amplificador o gabinete en una ranura que tiene adyacente otra ranura vacía, se cargará automáticamente en la otra ranura un amplificador o gabinete que coincida con el de la primera ranura.

Optimización de su cadena de señal

La cadena de señal es el recorrido realizado por la señal de audio desde su guitarra, a través de sus modelos seleccionados y hasta las salidas de la HeadRush Gigboard. Puede utilizar la pantalla táctil para acomodar sus modelos seleccionados en cualquier orden, pero encontrará que algunas configuraciones suenan mejor que otras.

Estas son algunas sugerencias sobre las ubicaciones más comunes de modelos para crear tonos con la HeadRush Gigboard:

Los controles dinámicos (por ej., compresores), los filtros (por ej., wah, desplazadores de tono) y los pedales de volumen generalmente se ubican al comienzo de la cadena de señal. Como alternativa, puede colocar los pedales de volumen al final de la cadena de señal para lograr una leve variación de la funcionalidad.

Los efectos basados en la ganancia (por ej., overdrive/distorsión, fuzz) suelen venir a continuación.

La ecualización (EQ) se suele usar para dar forma a las características tonales a los efectos de overdrive/distorsión y fuzz, así que coloque un ecualizador después de ellos. Como alternativa, colóquelo antes de ellos para darle forma al tono general de la guitarra—eliminando frecuencias no deseadas—antes de los pedales de ganancia

Los efectos de modulación tales como flangers, phasers y coros suelen colocarse a continuación.

Los efectos basados en el tiempo tales como retardos y reverberaciones se suelen colocar cerca del final de la cadena de señal.

Al final de la cadena de señal se suelen colocar un amplificador y un gabinete, aunque los puede colocar en donde desee.

Asignación de hardware

La pantalla de asignación de hardware le permite personalizar la manera en que los interruptores de pedal y el pedal de expresión de la HeadRush Gigboard controlan cada configuración.

Para abrir la pantalla de asignación de hardware, toque el botón  en la esquina superior derecha de la pantalla principal y luego toque Hardware Assign.

Para regresar a la pantalla principal, toque el botón de la esquina superior izquierda.

Importante: Los ajustes de asignación de hardware son todos parte de la configuración general, así que recuerde guardar los cambios que desea conservar.

Para ajustar el color asociado con la configuración, tóquelo en la parte superior izquierda de la pantalla. Este color aparecerá junto al nombre de la configuración cuando visualice la lista de configuraciones disponibles o cuando vea y cree listas de configuraciones. También será el color del indicador del interruptor de pedal correspondiente cuando la HeadRush Gigboard se encuentre en Modo Rig.

Para ajustar el tempo de los efectos basados en el tiempo de la configuración (retardos, modulaciones, etc.), toque el botón bajo Tempo para seleccionar Current o Fixed.

Current: La configuración usará el último tempo utilizado o el ajustado por el interruptor de pedal de Tempo.

Para ajustar el tempo, pulse el interruptor de pedal de Tempo a la velocidad deseada 3-8 veces para ajustar el nuevo tempo en pulsos por minuto (BPM).

Fixed: La configuración usará el tempo que defina aquí.

Para ajustar el tempo, gire el codificador para ajustar el tempo deseado en pulsos por minuto (BPM). Puede ajustar el tempo únicamente desde esta pantalla de Asignación de hardware.

Para cargar una configuración cuando se recibe un cambio de programa proveniente de un dispositivo MIDI externo opcional o para enviar un mensaje de cambio de programa MIDI cuando se carga una configuración, toque el botón que se encuentra bajo MIDI y luego gire el codificador para seleccionar un número de cambio de programa MIDI. Puede ajustar si los cambios de programa MIDI se reciben y/o envían en el menú Global Settings.

Nota: Si una configuración está utilizando un número, dicho número no estará disponible y no podrá asignarse otra configuración. Adicionalmente, guardar una configuración con un nombre nuevo grabará la configuración, pero sin el número de cambio de programa para evitar que las configuraciones compartan el mismo número.

Interruptores de pedal

Las ocho casillas en la esquina inferior izquierda representan los ocho interruptores de pedal del medio de la HeadRush Gigboard. Puede asignar cualquier parámetro basado en interruptores (aquellos que sólo tienen dos estados) a cualquiera de los interruptores de pedal—independientemente de su ubicación en la cadena de señal.

Como asignar un parámetro a un interruptor de pedal:

1.Toque una casilla. indica una casilla vacía.

2.En la lista que aparece, toque el modelo con el parámetro que desea asignar.

3.En la lista que aparece, toque el parámetro que desea asignar. Generalmente, el parámetro simplemente estará en On (para activarlo o desactivarlo).

Toque Unassigned para desasignar ese interruptor de pedal.

Para intercambiar dos asignaciones, toque y arrastre una de ellas sobre la otra y luego suéltela.
