You can easily create your dream rig, comprising 9 individual FX along with 2 amp models and 2 cab models in a single preset.<\/p><p>Additionally, the MX5 also features gapless preset switching with reverb and delay tail spill over. So you can switch between clean and lead tones without any dropouts in sound during your performance on stage, or in the studio!<\/p><hr \/><h3><strong>All the connections you need<\/strong><\/h3><p><img class=\"wp-image-4193 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2021\/12\/bacb9149-4.-all-the-connections-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p><p>Even though the HeadRush MX5 is a microboard, its durability is that of full-sized pedalboard. Its compact design boasts 3 footswitches (all equipped with individual RGB LEDs), an expression pedal (with adjustable tension and built-in toe switch), and a generous offering of inputs and outputs on the rear panel.<\/p><p>This includes a 1\/4\u201dguitar input, a stereo pair of 1\/4\u201d balanced outputs, 1\/8\u201d aux input, 1\/8\u201d headphone output, MIDI I\/O, and a 1\/4\u201d stereo FX loop.<\/p><p>The stereo FX loop can be used for integrating external FX pedals and placing them anywhere in the MX5\u2019s signal chain, as well as enabling MX5 to connect to traditional guitar and bass amplifiers via the four-cable method.<\/p><p>There is also a USB port, which can be used to record or reamp at studio quality (up to 24-bit 96kHz), transfer presets and loops, and easily upgrade the MX5\u2019s feature when new feature updates are released by HeadRush.<\/p><hr \/><h3><strong>Find out more<\/strong><\/h3><p>For more information on the HeadRush MX5 Guitar Processor, or any other HeadRush products, go to the Gear4music website, where we list the entire HeadRush range all with a two-year warranty as standard.<\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4192\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2021\/12\/184138d8-3.-processing-power.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"954\" height=\"954\" \/><\/p><p>Shop now |\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Guitar-and-Bass\/HeadRush-MX5-Multi-Effects-Processor\/405F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HeadRush MX5<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Shop now | <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/HeadRush?page=1&filters%5B1482%5D=9729\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HeadRush Multi Effects<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Shop now |\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/HeadRush\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HeadRush<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[105,262],"tags":[107,135],"class_list":["post-4189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guitars-bass","category-guitar-reviews","tag-guitars","tag-headrush"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>HEADRUSH MX5 \u2013 A Professional Powerhouse in the Palm of your Hand<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The MX5\u00a0is Headrush&#039;s new intuitive and versatile offering.
