The Perfect Tone is Just a Touch Away
The HeadRush® Flex Prime is the ultimate, compact multi-FX processor for guitar and bass players looking to expand their sonic horizons. This powerful all-in-one pedal boasts an extensive library of realistic and ultra-responsive guitar effects, amps, cabs, and microphone emulations. In addition to its impressive catalog of tonal possibilities, the Flex Prime allows players to craft the perfect tone with unprecedented ease via a high-quality 4" touch display and Wi-Fi for cloud-based preset/clone sharing and remote editing. Whether you're selling out arenas or diving into your first barre chords, the Flex Prime delivers the rig of your dreams with the touch of a screen.
Endless Tonal Possibilities
The HeadRush Flex Prime boasts an expansive library of detailed models that capture the pristine sonics of amplifiers, cabinets, microphones, and effects both old and new. These emulations deliver a degree of accuracy, tonal nuance, and dynamic response that will have audiences entranced and gear nerds seething with jealousy. In addition to recreations of timeless and beloved pieces of equipment, the Flex Prime features a number of effects that cannot be found anywhere else, such as rhythmic and synth FX based on exclusive pitch-to-MIDI technology.
Explore New Sounds with the HeadRush Cloud
Thanks to an onboard Wi-Fi connection, the HeadRush Flex Prime allows direct access to the HeadRush Cloud-a free service for HeadRush users offering a platform to browse, share, and download 4,000+ exclusive rigs and clones created by the HeadRush community and featured artists. Whether you're looking to emulate the tone of your favorite shredder or seeking inspiration for a sound entirely your own-the Flex Prime has you covered.
Full Compatibility with HeadRush Prime and HeadRush Core
The HeadRush Flex Prime boasts the same processing power as the larger, more expensive HeadRush Prime and Core, but in a compact and portable enclosure. Perfect for the player on-the-go, this unit enables up to 14 DSP blocks (FX, amps, cabs, clones, IRs, etc.) per preset in one of 5 different signal path types. All presets, setlists, and clones created on the HeadRush Prime and Core are compatible with the Flex Prime, so whether the Flex Prime is your road buddy or gig bag companion, it is an affordable and tremendously capable addition to any guitar or bass players arsenal.
Unlimited Expansion via HeadRush Cloning Technology and 3rd Party IRs
The HeadRush Flex Prime supports HeadRush's exclusive Clone and SuperClone technology, enabling you to instantly expand your onboard amp and FX library. These are precise captures of the sound, dynamics, and feel of highly sought-after gear, including vintage amps, rare effects pedals, priceless speakers, and high-end studio gear. You can also easily load your own Clones and third-party impulse response files via Dropbox or Mac/PC with the USB transfer mode.
Capture Your Own Amps and Pedals with the included Amp Cloner Software
HeadRush Flex Prime includes a free copy of the new HeadRush ReValver Amp Cloner software to create your own Clones and SuperClones (a $199 value)! Utilizing proprietary ACT (Audio Cloning Technology)™ Gen II, the ReValver Amp Cloner software quickly and accurately clones the sound, tone, and very essence of hardware and software-based guitar amps, cabs, and distortion/overdrive/fuzz pedals. ReValver Amp Cloner is the world's first capture system that enables combining multiple amp or pedal clones into a single powerful SuperClone that morphs between clones. Combine multiple clones of the same amp or pedal to create a deeper model or mix and match clones from different gear to create a custom model- the tonal possibilities are endless. All you need is a separate audio interface with a microphone input, and you can start your own clone custom shop with the ReValver Amp Cloner software today!
Gapless Preset Switching with Reverb/Delay Tail Spillover
The HeadRush Flex Prime's multi-core processor enables gapless preset switching with reverb/delay tail spillover. The tails of any reverb or delay effects in your setup can be configured to ring out when changing presets and/or turning off individual delay or reverb effects. This means that every transition with the Flex Prime will sound fluid and seamless, just like a professional studio recording.
Best-In-Class Looper with Saving and MIDI Sync Functions
The HeadRush Flex Prime features a highly functional looping feature-perfect for layering textures and melodies during a live show or as a potent songwriting tool, ready to go whenever inspiration strikes. Loops can be up to 5 minutes long with a capacity of 20 minutes of layered audio. When you're finished and ready to share your sonic masterpiece with the world, you can save your loops as .WAV files and export them to your Mac/PC. You can also import .WAV files to use the looper to play along with your favorite backing tracks and easily sync the looper to external MIDI devices like drum machines.
Built-in USB Audio Interface for Recording and Reamping
Flex Prime's USB connection opens up a world of recording and reamping directly to a computer. When connected, you can use the HeadRush Flex Prime as a 24-bit 96 kHz audio interface. The reamp function works by sending audio from your DAW through the Flex Prime and then recording it back into your DAW. This allows you to easily add nuance and tonal qualities only attainable with a hardware amplifier into their recordings. Any veteran studio professional will agree that this method saves valuable time and the HeadRush Flex Prime makes it easier than ever.
Remote Wi-Fi Editing via Mac, PC or Tablet
The Flex Prime makes easy work out of editing your rig remotely. Make tweaks to your setup via a Mac, PC, or tablet via the built-in Wi-Fi connection without any software downloads necessary. Simply open a web browser on your device and type in the IP address shown in your Flex Prime's global settings to connect remotely. Once connected, you can now interact with the Flex Prime seamlessly. This feature is especially helpful for cramped home studios or during hectic sound checks.
All The Connections You Need
The HeadRush Flex Prime can integrate seamlessly into your current rig with a series of inputs to suit any and all of your performance needs. The rear panel of the unit is packed with inputs and outputs, including a 1/4" input for guitars, (2) 1/4" TRS outputs switchable between amp or line level, a 1/8" (3.5mm) headphones output, a 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo aux input, and 1/8" (3.5mm) MIDI input and output connections. The Flex Prime also features a 1/4" stereo FX loop to integrate external FX pedals at any point in your signal chain. This also allows for advanced integration with a traditional amplifier via the four-cable method. The USB-B port allows computer connection for firmware updates, audio interface functionality, and importing/exporting files directly to/from your HeadRush Flex Prime.
Pedalboard Friendly and Road Ready
Powerful and portable in equal measure, the HeadRush Flex Prime is perfect for the player on the go at just 3.5 lbs (1.59 kg). In addition, the Flex Prime can fit easily on pedalboards as well as inside backpacks and instrument cases. Housed in a durable, road-ready chassis, the HeadRush Flex Prime includes a myriad of useful features for the stage, including hands-free editing, global EQ adjustment, and the ability to assign multiple effects to the device's footswitches. You can even use the Flex Prime's touchscreen to create multiple Setlists (custom orders of rigs) to stay organized for all your big upcoming gigs!

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
