HeadRush VX5

HeadRush VX5 - Professional vocal FX processor with AutoTune and USB interface

The HeadRush VX5 is a powerful, compact vocal effects processor that has been specially developed for modern singers. With integrated Antares AutoTune, a variety of high-quality effects and intuitive operation, the VX5 delivers everything you need for a professional live performance or studio recording - all in a portable, pedalboard-friendly format.

With its clearly structured interface, two footswitches for preset navigation, a brilliant color display and a variety of inputs and outputs, the HeadRush VX5 is aimed at anyone who wants to shape vocals creatively and precisely - whether with subtle tone correction or eye-catching vocal FX in the style of current chart productions.

Antares AutoTune included - from subtle tuning to iconic effects

One of the outstanding features of the VX5 is the integration of Antares AutoTune - the industry standard for pitch correction. With the Retune Speed and Humanize controls, you can switch smoothly between natural pitch correction and the classic "AutoTune effect". This allows vocals to be perfectly embedded in the mix - whether pop, R&B, hip-hop or electronic music.

Versatile effects and intelligent harmonies

In addition to AutoTune, the HeadRush VX5 offers you a whole range of studio effects such as reverb, delay, chorus, compressor and creative flavor FX. All effects can be used simultaneously and adjusted in real time. A highlight is the Intelligent Harmonizer mode, which automatically generates suitable vocal harmonies based on the connected guitar or keyboard - ideal for live performances without additional background singers.

Integrated audio and MIDI interface

With its 2x2 USB audio interface (24-bit/48kHz), the VX5 can be connected directly to a computer or mobile device - perfect for high-quality vocal recordings without an additional interface. Thanks to USB-MIDI, you can even automate preset changes - for example in conjunction with DAWs, lighting software or other live controllers.

Intuitive operating concept and flexible control

The color display and clear menu structure allow for quick navigation. Two footswitches allow hands-free switching between presets or the targeted switching on and off of individual effects in A/B mode. Talk mode deactivates all effects at the touch of a button - ideal for announcements or interactions with the audience between songs.

Premium connections and studio-standard sound quality

The HeadRush VX5 offers high-quality inputs and outputs for professional applications. The integrated XLR microphone input with +48V phantom power and premium mic preamp provides detailed sound and sufficient headroom. The balanced XLR output with ground lift switch enables an interference-free connection to PA systems or mixing consoles. A headphone output, guitar input and a guitar thru are also available for flexible signal chains.
