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
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.
