The HeadRush VX5 is a dedicated vocal effects unit that makes the coveted, industry-standard Antares AutoTune® pitch correction technology available to vocalists in any live performance or studio setting—no computer needed.

In addition to professional quality AutoTune®, this performance focused vocal effects unit gives musicians and performers access to a playground of professional-quality effects and processing power, all contained in a sleek and easy-to-use stomp box. Equally capable in the hands of beginners and seasoned live performers, and versatile enough to mesh with any genre under the sun, VX5 is a perfect tool for enhancing your talent and discovering your unique sound.

LIVE VOCALS AT THEIR BEST

At the heart of the VX5 is the iconic AutoTune algorithm, used and popularized by some of the most important and beloved artists of our time.

This essential music production software has redefined what it means to be a modern vocalist, expanding the scope of effects available to artists whose instrument of choice is the human voice. The VX5 delivers that technology in a tactile format for the everyday musician or producer.

Users can dial in subtle pitch correction or experience the unmistakable sound of AutoTune at its fullest via the pedal’s dedicated Retune Speed and Humanize knobs.

STUDIO-QUALITY PRESETS & EFFECTS

Beyond pitch correction, the VX5 features studio-quality reverb, delay, chorus, compression, and flavor effects, as well as an Intelligent Harmonizer that can generate vocal harmonies based on chords from a connected guitar or keyboard.

For immediate inspiration, vocalists can experiment with 99 factory presets right out of the box. With up to 250 presets available to create and explore, and this unique pedal’s ability to function as a class compliant USB audio interface for recording new ideas with ease, the VX5 is the ultimate vocal effects processor for both stage and studio use.

ACCESSIBLE, ALL-PURPOSE VOCAL PROCESSING

While the technology and processing power housed within this vocal effects unit is as sophisticated as it gets, the VX5 was designed with ease of use at the forefront.

The pedal’s clearly labeled layout and color display with simple preset up/down navigation make it easy to program presets ahead of a live performance or adjust parameters on the fly. Two footswitches—A/B Mode and Talk Mode—add convenience for controlling individual effects on/off within a preset and providing a temporary bypass for talking between songs.

Preset changes can also be automated via MIDI over USB when integrated with a playback rig.

THE CLASSIC AUTOTUNE SOUND

Dedicated Retune Speed and Humanize knobs adjust from subtle pitch correction to the classic hard AutoTune effect trusted by some of today’s biggest artists, including Travis Scott, Charli XCX, and Post Malone

BUILT-IN STUDIO-QUALITY EFFECTS

Additional onboard studio-quality compressor, reverb, delay, chorus, and flavor effects make it easy to dial in your signature sound or adjust the effects from song to song during a live set—as individual effects or simultaneously chained

PERFECT PITCH AND THEN SOME

Intelligent Harmonizer Mode automatically generates vocal harmonies based on the vocalist’s selected key and scale—or based on a connected instrument, such as a guitar or keyboard

A GO-TO FROM STAGE TO STUDIO

Stereo 24-bit/48kHz USB audio interface functionality to record your vocals directly to your device—use it to record backing vocals for your next live performance or as an entry point to at home music production with your DAW of choice
