Industry-Standard AutoTune® Technology at Your Feet
The HeadRush VX5 features the iconic Antares AutoTune® algorithm that has shaped modern music. This groundbreaking pedal brings professional pitch correction technology to live performance and studio settings without requiring a computer setup. Additionally, the dedicated Humanize and Retune Speed knobs allow you to dial in everything from subtle pitch correction to the bold, defining vocal styles heard in contemporary music.
Furthermore, this sophisticated vocal processor adapts to any musical genre, making it equally valuable for beginners discovering their sound and seasoned performers seeking professional-grade effects. The authentic AutoTune® algorithm delivers the same quality used by top artists worldwide.
Comprehensive Vocal Processing Suite
Beyond pitch correction, the VX5 offers an extensive library of studio-quality effects including reverb, delay, chorus, compressor, and flavor effects. The unit comes equipped with 99 factory presets that can be layered and sequenced in any configuration you desire. Moreover, the Intelligent Harmonizer automatically generates vocal harmonies based on chords from a connected guitar or keyboard.
The versatile effect selection ranges from lush ambient and church reverbs to psychedelic chorus and delay modelers. Each effect maintains studio-grade quality while remaining easily accessible through the intuitive control interface.
Seamless Live Performance Integration
Professional live performance demands reliability and ease of use, which the VX5 delivers through its clean, clearly labeled controls and color display. Two footswitches provide quick preset navigation and temporary bypass functionality for talking between songs. Additionally, the A/B mode allows seamless sound changes mid-song without interrupting your performance.
The Talk Mode instantly disables all effects when communicating with your audience. Meanwhile, USB MIDI connectivity enables automated preset changes using a playback rig, ensuring smooth transitions throughout your entire set.
Studio-Quality USB Audio Interface
The VX5 doubles as a professional USB audio interface, allowing direct recording to your computer via the USB-B connector. This feature transforms the pedal into a complete vocal production solution for home studios and professional setups alike. The stereo 24-bit/48kHz audio interface functionality ensures pristine recording quality.
Connect the device to your DAW of choice and utilize the premium XLR mic preamp with switchable +48V phantom power. The XLR line output includes a ground lift switch to eliminate unwanted noise issues caused by ground loops.
