HeadRush Looperboard

Full Description

Loop your way…

Loopers are becoming more and more commonplace in live shows. Whether you're a solo artist looking to thicken up your sound, or a band that likes to experiment with sonic layers, you need a looper that gives you full control over your performance. The HeadRush Looperboard does just that. With 12 fully customisable footswitches and an intuitive 7-inch touchscreen, you can manage every aspect of your loop. Simply swipe, drag, and drop to edit. It's that easy. Each switch allows you to access all the crucial looping functionality at your feet. Not only can you record, overdub, and start and stop loops - you can also reverse, transpose, undo/redo, or even change the length and speed of the loop. That means full agency over your sound.

Endless looping. Endless possibilities. With unlimited internal recording time, you can loop your whole set and not run out of space. The Looperboard has a rear SD card slot and two USB-A drive inputs, allowing you to expand the built-in storage and record even more. With 300 built-in loops to get you started, and the ability to transfer loops between the looper and your Mac or PC, you have everything you need to explore the exciting world of live looping. Intuitive control, impeccable sound. Could you ask for anything more?

Stay in sync

A common problem with using a looper in a band is that everyone has to stay perfectly in sync. If the drummer misses a beat, then your loop goes out of time. This is not the case with the Looperboard. By utilising its powerful quad-core DSP system, it can intelligently time-stretch the loop to match the speed you’ve set with the tap tempo switch. That includes real-time quantising and auto BPM detection – all without pops, glitches, and latency.

Flawless effects

Expand your tonal pallet. With a wide selection of premium built-in effects, the HeadRush Looperboard lets you assign virtual effect racks to individual looper tracks, or directly to the inputs. Each effect rack has been expertly designed for specific applications such as vocals, guitars, percussion, and more, allowing you to add a unique touch to your sound. And if that's not enough, you can also assign up to four effect parameters that can be controlled by an external expression pedal. This is ultimate creative freedom.

Completely overhauled for the best user experience

This is HeadRush like you’ve never experienced before. Since its release, the Looperboard has undergone a vast update, giving you even more control over your loops. Introducing Firmware 2.0 – the latest in advanced UI. From a brand new navigation menu to looping workflow improvements, everything you love about HeadRush has been streamlined for the ultimate experience. Get ready to experience the next generation of effects technology. Whether it’s the endless looping capabilities, vocal harmony and tuning, or full-range of connectivity, there’s something for every musician to get excited about.
