Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
HeadRush Prime is a floor processor for guitar, bass, and vocal rigs, combining gear emulations, impulse-response support, vocal processing, and a looper in a steel chassis. A seven-inch touch interface works alongside 12 footswitches with individual OLED displays, while the built-in expression pedal and toe switch offer hands-free control. Prime can switch presets without interrupting the signal, clone analog gear, sync loops through MIDI, record and re-amp over USB, and route external equipment through its FX send and return.

Who this is for
- Live setups needing labeled footswitch control, hands-free expression changes, and uninterrupted preset switching.
- Guitar, bass, and vocal routing from one processor with microphone, auxiliary, and stereo output connections.
- Mac or PC tracking and re-amping, plus MIDI-synchronized looping with external rhythm or sequencing gear.
