Rigs

While using HeadRush Pedalboard, 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.

Optimizing Your Signal Chain

vailable models

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 Pedalboard. 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 Pedalboard:

• 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.

any time.

Hardware Assign

The Hardware Assign screen enables you to customize how HeadRush Pedalboard’s footswitches, expression pedal, and parameter knobs 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 upper-left 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 Pedalboard is in Rig View.

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 (the lower-right-most one) at the desired tempo 3–8 times to

set the new tempo in beats per minute (BPM). You can do this anytime that footswitch display shows Tempo.

• 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.

Footswitches

The eight boxes in the lower-left corner represent the middle eight footswitches of HeadRush Pedalboard. 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.

Expression Pedal

The expression pedal can control two parameters (in Classic Mode) or two sets of parameters (in Advanced Mode). Use the toe switch to switch between them—Expression Pedal A or B.

To activate the toe switch, move the “toe end” of the expression pedal so it touches the pedalboard, and then press down. The expression pedal status LCD will indicate A or B.

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 the 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

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.

button.

Quick Parameters

The right edge of the screen shows a column of fields for three parameters. These are the three parameters that are shown first whenever you load a rig. When no model is selected on the main screen, you can turn the three parameter knobs to adjust these parameters. You can assign any continuous parameters to these knobs (parameters with a range of values rather than ones with only “on” and “off” states).

To assign a parameter to a parameter knob:

1. Tap the field to which you want to assign a parameter.  indicates an empty field.

2. In the list that appears, tap the model with the parameter you want to assign. You can also select parameters for the incoming signal (Input) or outgoing signal (Output).

3. In the list that appears, tap the parameter you want to assign. Tap Unassigned  to unassign that parameter knob.

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.

Hands-Free Mode

Hands-Free Mode enables you to adjust any of the settings on your models by using just the footswitches and expression pedal.

To enter Hands-Free Mode, press and hold a footswitch assigned to a model for over one second. While in HandsFree Mode, the screen will show a single parameter and its value, and the top six footswitches will correspond to six parameters of that model.

To exit Hands-Free Mode, press the lower-left most (Exit) footswitch.

To change the value, move the expression pedal.

To show another parameter, press the corresponding

footswitch. If that model has more than six parameters, press the lower-middle two ( or ) footswitches to show the previous or next six parameters.

Pantalla principal

Gire el codificador para desplazarse por los elementos seleccionables en la pantalla o para ajustar los parámetros. Pulse un codificador para efectuar un comando

Ente

Toque para ver las listas de equipos.

Nombre del equipo.

Haga un doble toque sobre un modelo, entrada o salida para mostrar sus

arámetros.

Toque su interruptor de pedal para activarlo o desactivarlo.

Gire las perillas de parámetros para ajustar estos parámetros. Una vez seleccionado un modelo, toque en cualquier lugar de esta columna para mostrar los siguientes tres parámetros.

Importante: La secuencia de modelos en su cadena de señal no se refleja necesariamente en los interruptores de pedal. Puede asignar libremente modelos a los interruptores de pedal disponibles sin modificar su cadena de señal en lo absoluto—y viceversa. Consulte Asignación de hardware para aprender sobre esto.

Para asignar un modelo (amplificador, gabinete o efecto) a una ranura vacía, tóquelo () y luego utilice la lista que aparece. Consulte Equipos > Creación de un equipo nuevo para aprender sobre esto.

Para mostrar los parámetros de un modelo en el lado derecho de la pantalla, tóquelo de manera que quede resaltado en verde. Entonces podrá utilizar las perillas de parámetros para ajustar los parámetros a su izquierda. Toque en cualquier lugar de la columna de esos tres parámetros para mostrar los siguientes tres (si el modelo tiene más de tres parámetros).

Cuando no se seleccione ningún modelo, estos parámetros serán los que asigne en la pantalla Asignación de hardware.

Para mostrar la pantalla de ajustes de un modelo, tóquela dos veces. Su pantalla de ajustes aparecerá con su menú predefinido, parámetros y color asignado.

Para activar o desactivar un modelo, pulse el interruptor de pedal asignado a él o toque el interruptor de pedal del modelo en la pantalla.

Para cargar otro equipo (preset):

• Pulse el interruptor de pedal superior izquierdo (Rig ) o inferior derecho (Rig

) para cargar el equipo anterior o siguiente inmediatamente.

• Toque el  o  junto al nombre del equipo actual en la pantalla.

• Toque el nombre del equipo en la pantalla y luego gire el codificador.

Para ver otras opciones, toque el botón  en la esquina superior derecha y luego toque una opción.

Toque y arrastre esta barra hacia abajo para ver la lista de equipos.

Toque para guardar el equipo.

Toque para ver más opciones.

Para reacomodar los modelos de su cadena de señal, toque y

arrastre un modelo hacia otra ranura o entre los dos otros modelos (los que le siguen a esa posición se desplazarán una ranura hacia abajo en la cadena de señal).
