HeadRush - VX5 Auto-Tune
The VX5 is a pedal-format vocal effects processor designed by HeadRush for singers looking to personalise their voices without wasting time on menus. Featuring the Auto-Tune algorithm developed by Antares, this processor combines in-tune correction, professional vocal effects and intelligent harmonies. Designed for both live performance and home recording, the VX5 adapts to the way you sing, your production habits and your creative desires. With its 2 footswitches, intuitive colour screen and direct controls, it's easy to use, even with your hands clasped in a guitar or keyboard. As well as being a vocal processor, it becomes your USB audio interface, so you can capture ideas in your favourite software. HeadRush VX5 embodies an accessible and fluid approach to vocal processing, allowing you to go from a natural timbre to a stylised effect in the blink of an eye, without detours or technical overload. This processor isn't just for the elite - it's been designed for you, the person who sings, creates, tests, tries and tries again... and again.
Presentation
The VX5 doesn't stop at correction. You'll find a range of vocal effects designed to enrich your performances: reverb, delay, compression, modulation... and that famous 'Flavour' effect that colours your voice without disguising it. The intelligent harmoniser follows your chords in real time from a keyboard or guitar. Imagine: you sing, your instrument plays, and your voice splits into automatic choruses. There's no need for invisible assistants: you control the whole thing from the VX5's two footswitches. And if you want to cut the effects to say something to the audience, Talk mode is there, discreet and instantaneous.
On stage or in the home studio, HeadRush VX5 is easy to use. With its 24-bit / 48 kHz USB interface, it becomes an instant creative tool: plug in, sing, record. Access to presets is fast, the screen easy to read even under floodlights, and the navigation designed to save you last-minute headaches. Whether you're a fan of TikTok covers or a singer on tour, the VX5 will adapt to your habits without imposing its own.
HeadRush VX5's 99 factory presets are not there for decoration. As soon as you start using it, you'll be able to try out different vocal worlds and adapt them to your register. By saving your own settings, you can build a library that reflects you, ready to follow your changing styles and moods. The controls are simple: one knob for volume, two for correction, a preset encoder, and switches for live action. You don't need a degree in sound engineering to have fun and grow with this processor.
What really sets the VX5 apart is the way it fits into your routine without disrupting it. Whether you're rehearsing in your bedroom or on tour, it fits in your bag and stays ready for action. You sing, you press, you smile: the magic happens. Try it out, play with it, and let yourself be surprised by the new dimensions your voice will take on.
