Basic Operation
This chapter describes some of HeadRush MX5’s basic functions. You can visit
headrushfx.com to download the complete user guide for even more information.
Main Screen
Important: The sequence of models in your signal chain is not necessarily reflected in the
footswitches. You can freely assign models to available footswitches without changing your
signal chain at all—and vice versa. See Hardware Assign to learn about this.
To assign a model (amp, cab, impulse response, or effect) to an empty
slot, tap it () and then use the list that appears. See Rigs > Creating a
New Rig to learn about this.
To rearrange the models in your signal chain, tap and drag a model to
another slot or between two other models (the ones after that position will
shift one slot further down the signal chain).
To activate or deactivate a model, press the footswitch assigned to it,
or tap the model and then tap the On/Off button that appears in the top
right corner.

Rigs
While using HeadRush MX5, a rig is a preset: the combination of assigned models—the amps,
cabs, impulse responses, 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, IR (impulse response),
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
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 MX5. 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 MX5:
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 (or an amp and impulse response) 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 MX5’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 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
MX5 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 3 boxes in the lower-left corner represent the 3 footswitches of HeadRush MX5. 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.
12
Scenes
The Scene feature allows you to turn multiple models on or off in each rig, as well as select
different change model presets. When you press the footswitch assigned to that scene, all
models included in that scene will turn on or off, or change to a different preset, 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 the first line of
text 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. For each model in the rig, tap the second line
of text to configure a model preset to be
loaded when the scene is activated.
5. Tap a color at the top of the touchscreen to
select a color for the scene.
6. Tap the button in the upper-left corner to
return to the Hardware Assign screen.
To rename a scene (which appears in the footswitch indicators), tap the text in the box below
Edit on the model, use the virtual keyboard that appears to enter a name, and then tap
anywhere other than the text field.
13
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
MX5, and then press down.
Note: When you save your rig, the current 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 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 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.
14
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.

Tip: You can also assign Tap Tempo to a footswitch within a rig on the Hardware Assign page.
16
Looper
The HeadRush MX5 has a built-in looper that you can use to layer your performances. While the
looper’s operation is shown in the display, you can control most of it conveniently with the
footswitches.
The looper can hold up to 20 minutes of audio at a time across a maximum of 50 layers. The
first layer of your loop can be up to 5 minutes long.
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 and hold 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.

Live: The audio signal will be sent to your computer as well as to the HeadRush MX5’s
outputs.
DAW: The audio signal will be sent to your computer only. The HeadRush MX5’s
outputs will be disabled to prevent any latency while monitoring.
Reamp: Your computer will send an audio signal to the HeadRush MX5, which will
process it through the current rig and send it back to your computer. The HeadRush
MX5’s outputs will be disabled to prevent any latency while monitoring.
Pedal Configuration:
External Pedal: This setting determines whether or not you are using an external expression
pedal with the HeadRush MX5.
Tap On to use the built-in expression pedal to control the parameter/parameters of
Bank A while your external expression pedal controls the parameter/parameters of
Bank B. (If you are using the expression pedal’s Classic Mode, pressing the toe
switch will activate or deactivate the parameter. If you are using Advanced Mode, the
toe switch will be disabled entirely.)
Tap Off to disable the expression pedal input and use the built-in expression pedal
only.
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.
MIDI Settings: These settings determine how the HeadRush MX5
sends and receives MIDI information to and from external devices.
These settings affect only the HeadRush MX5’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
MX5’s MIDI input will be sent directly to the MIDI output.
Tap Off to use the HeadRush MX5’s MIDI output normally;
the HeadRush MX5 will be able to send its own MIDI
information out of the MIDI output.
Recv MIDI Clock: Tap On to enable the HeadRush MX5 to receive MIDI clock information. Tap
Off to use the HeadRush MX5’s own internal MIDI clock (which will not be sent out).
Prog Change: Tap Send to enable or disable the HeadRush MX5’s transmission of MIDI program
change messages when you load a rig. Tap Recv to enable or disable the HeadRush MX5’s
reception of MIDI program change messages from an external MIDI device.
19
MIDI Channel: This setting determines the MIDI channel(s) that the HeadRush MX5 will send and
receive MIDI messages. Tap this field, turn the encoder to select all channels (Omni), or 116,
and then press the encoder.
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.
Color Mod:
If you have trouble distinguishing certain colors on your MX5’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.
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 the level set by the Master knob.
Low Band & High Band: These settings determine what type of equalization is applied to
the lowest-frequency 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.

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
MX5.
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 MX5
during the process.
Any unsupported files will be ignored.
You cannot transfer a folder or .zip/archive folder
to/from HeadRush MX5. 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 MX5
“drive.”
To transfer files between the HeadRush MX5 and your computer:
1. Connect your computer to the HeadRush MX5’s USB port using a standard USB cable.
2. With your computer powered on, power on the HeadRush MX5 using the power switch.
3. Tap the  button in the upper-right corner of the screen and then 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 MX5 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. File corruption may occur if the drive is not properly
ejected before continuing.
7. After the drive has been ejected, tap Sync on
your HeadRush MX5 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 MX5 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 MX5 during the sync process.
