Vocals and Guitar: Dual Path
These signal paths are the most common for users who want
to utilize effects for both guitar and voice.
There are three separate Dual Path options.
• Dual Path 7-7 features seven slots each for vocals and
guitar.
• Dual Path 4-10 features four slots for vocals and ten
slots for guitar.
• Dual Path 2-12 features two slots for vocals and twelve
slots for guitar.
Optimizing Your Signal Path
After adding blocks to a rig, you can use the touchscreen to arrange your selected blocks in any sequence, but you
may find that some configurations will sound better than others.
Here are some common model placement suggestions for creating great rigs with HeadRush Core:
• Dynamics (e.g., compressors), filters (e.g., wah, pitch shifters), and volume pedals are generally placed
at the beginning of the signal chain. Alternatively, you can place volume pedals at the end of the signal
chain to provide a slight variance in functionality.
• Gain-based effects (e.g., overdrive/distortion, fuzz) usually come next.
• Equalization (EQ) is often used to shape the tonal characteristics of overdrive/distortion and fuzz effects,
so put an EQ after them. Alternatively, place it before them to shape the guitar’s general tone—cutting
unwanted frequencies—before the gain pedals.
• Modulation effects like flangers, phasers, and chorus are typically placed next.
• Time-based effects like delays and reverbs are generally placed in between the amp and cab blocks (to
simulate an amp’s built in FX loop), or near the end of the signal chain.
• Amp models, cab models, IRs, and amp clones are often placed near end of the signal chain, although you
can place it wherever you want, depending on your needs.
