I am honestly so interested about this topic yet I can't really find a direct comparison.
Are there anything that QC can do the HR Prime can't?
I'm not saying one is better than the other because I haven't used Quad Cortex, but from what I hear from all the videos on the internet (tone wise) there isn't really that big of a difference in quality.
Its beautiful - and sounds so good :>
I think my flex prime is faulty, or maybe I just don't like it because I can never get tones to feel correct or amp like always sounded digital or compressed or flat no dynamics.
I found out what was missing a few days ago after purchasing a cheap modeller just to see how bad cheap modelling is and just using in built amps with custom IRs I actually enjoy the tones and feel of that more than anything ive come up with using the flex prime.
It's like something is wrong with the gain staging. With no tube screamer all amps sound flubby and lower gain than they should ( using clones "as I don't like the in built amps at all") but enabling a tube screamer with the usual max vol, no gain noon tone, I get more gain but pick response feels anaemic flat. No matter which way I go about it, less amp gain more boost, less boost more amp gain, it just sounds like there is this always on compressor that doesnt help with sustain or anything just kills dynamics.
Second issue is the delays, they all seem to kinda suck imo?
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

There's hardly anything ever reported, and it's really only removing stuff when people come in and bash others or Headrush, which I can barely remember the last time that happened. Reddit thinks it needs more mods, though, so let me know.
This sub was locked and unmoderated when I requested it, I am not an expert or anything, just wanted a sub where we could all talk about Headrush.
I was wondering what everyone was using for a pedalboard for the Headrush Pedalboard. Im swapping over from a tonex and pedalchain in an SKB PS-45 and would like something to fit the unit fairly flush at an angle. Preferably with a case for safe storage in the band trailer. I have a drop pedal im going to use with it and a shure glxd4 thatll go up under the board itself.
I recently built a small board using the MX5 with a Fractal VP4 going into the MX5 send and return. It's brilliant that HR made the fx loop on the MX5 stereo. Thank you HR! I have the Gigboard as well which has an fx loop, but it is mono.
I know HR doesn't always get the love it deserves, but I love this little setup. It does everything I want it to do and extends the MX5 into all new territory. I'm not one that needs to make models and add models or cabs to my existing setups. I feel I have my MX5 pretty dialed in and I think it sounds amazing. By adding the VP4, tonality just went sky high. The Fractal sounds are incredible and it interfaces with the MX5 beautifully. The sounds are huge, detailed and strikingly clear. Running this setup in stereo is BIG!
I really like the size of the whole package and it gives me loads of paint for the canvas without resorting to my big board. This setup is light, fast, stable and allows for complete creativity of approaches. I'm not using any midi aspects but that is possible to do. I have added an HR expression pedal to the VP4 to weep in fxs as desired and control fx parameters.
The bottom line, i wanted a smaller setup with lush, rich endless sounds. I considered several of the big boards out there incorporating everything into one board. But they seemed big, complicated and included features I'd be paying for not needed or want. I just want to extend my MX5 into new realms. The Fractal VP4 was the answer and I'm stoked to keep on the same page I've been working with and add a whole new tool set. So keeping my MX5 alive and well and not retiring it.
This setup is mounted on a Pedaltrain Metro 8"x24". Fits great. I ran a two outlet extension under the board for the units instead of a power supply. Space is tight under there. I added two rubber foot rests to slightly raise the back of the board up for clearance underneath. It all tucks into the Pedaltrain metal case with ease.
So... sharing this if you are interested in taking a HR legacy product to new levels and have all new opportunities. I know this is all subjective, but for me I'm giddy with this ditty 😄 I hope this is helpful to someone out there... it can be done.
I just got my Headrush Prime, and I am having a lot of fun exploring all of the capabilities and presets, especially the amp matches in the cloud.
I mostly play stuff like Brand New and Circa Survive. Or if I want to get a little heavier, I love playing some 2010s metalcore like Of Mice and Men.
What are the best amps and rigs that you guys have found?
I bought some Mooer caps but they don't fit on the headrush switches because they are too small.
Does anyone know of any that fit?
