The expression pedal is also fully assignable within each preset and can be used as a volume or a wah wah pedal in addition to tweaking preset parameters.
Record and Reamp
With built in USB connectivity, the MX5 can be can be used as a 24-bit 96 kHz audio interface for intuitive recording and reamping, making it a versatile asset in your recording environment. The reamp option enables you to add the tone colouration of an amp to a pre-recorded audio signal - in this case, sending audio from your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) through the HeadRush MX5 and then recording it back into your DAW. This modern, time saving recording process allows you to tweak the sound of your pre-recorded guitar part afterwards, rather than having to re-record it!
