(4.14) Looper
HeadRush Prime has a built-in looper that you can use to layer your performances. While the looper’s operation is
shown in the display, you can control most of it conveniently with the footswitches.
The looper can hold up to 20 minutes of audio at a time across a maximum of 50 layers.
To access the Looper, tap the Menu icon in the top left of the Main screen, and then tap the Looper
icon.
To record the first layer of a loop, press the Record footswitch. Recording will begin immediately, and the
footswitch indicator will light red. Press the Record footswitch again to stop recording and start loop playback.
The footswitch is now called Overdub and the footswitch indicator is yellow.
To record additional layers onto the loop (overdub), press the Overdub footswitch. Overdubbing will begin
immediately, and the footswitch indicator will light red. Press the Overdub footswitch again to stop overdubbing
and continue playback.
To erase the top-most (last-added) layer of the loop, press the Peel footswitch. The top-most layer of the loop
will be erased immediately. This process is destructive, so you can’t re-add it later.
To record over a section of the top-most (last-added) layer (like a punch-in/punch-out function), press the Insert
footswitch. Recording will begin immediately, and the footswitch indicator will light red. Press the Insert
footswitch again to stop recording and continue playback. This overwrites that section of the top-most layer.
To halve or double the length of the loop, press the 1/2 Loop or 2X Loop footswitch, respectively. The loop’s
relative length is shown in the Loop Length field. The halving process is non-destructive, so you can restore your
original loop and its content by pressing
2X Loop.

This indicates whether the looper is
located before or after your signal

to the GUIT IN position enables you to
edit your guitar rig without having to
play the same riff over and over again.
