Description
Description
The HeadRush VX5 is a modern, intuitive vocal effects pedal featuring industry-standard Antares AutoTune technology. Designed for performance environments and real-time vocal processing, the VX5 gives vocalists confidence and creative control, regardless of genre or style. It packs an inspiring world of pro-level audio effects into a compact, palm-sized device.
At the heart of VX5 is the iconic AutoTune algorithm, widely used by some of the greatest artists of all time. This groundbreaking music production software redefined what it means to be a "modern vocalist" and opened up a wider range of effects possibilities for artists who use the human voice as an instrument. VX5 delivers that technology in an intuitive, practical form for everyday musicians and producers.
Dedicated Retune Speed and Humanize knobs let you go from natural-sounding pitch correction to the signature AutoTune sound you've heard all along. Beyond pitch correction, the VX5 also offers studio-quality reverb, delay, chorus, compression, and even flavorful effects. It even features an Intelligent Harmonizer that can automatically generate vocal harmonies based on the chords of a connected guitar or keyboard.
The VX5's easy-to-understand layout, color display, and simple preset switching system make it easy to register presets for each song in your set and instantly adjust parameters while you're performing. The unit's two footswitches allow for smooth preset switching and also enable Talk mode, which is convenient for MCs during live performances. MIDI connectivity via USB makes it easy to automate preset switching from your playback rig.
Create and store up to 250 presets, and easily capture your ideas with the VX5's class-compliant USB audio interface functionality. The VX5 is the ultimate vocal effects processor for stage and studio.
