User Manual

The IR category contains factory-loaded and user-loaded impulse response files. The HeadRush MX5 supports all

.WAV format impulse response files with sample rates up to 192 kHz, bit depths up to 32-bit, and sample lengths

up to 2,048 samples.

Preset: This is the current IR preset, which includes the

impulse response, all its settings, and its color

assignment.

Folder: This is the folder containing your IR files. IRs can be

organized into folders by creating a folder on your Mac or

PC while using the USB Transfer Mode. IRs generally

have a very small file size, so the MX5 can store

thousands of IRs at once.

IR File: Once you have selected a folder above, you can

select a specific IR file here.

Gain: Adjusts the overall volume level of the IR.

HiCut and LoCut: These settings adjust the high-end and

low-end of the IR tone, respectively.

Mix: This setting adjusts the mix of between the incoming

signal and the IR.

Note: While using the model selector to add a block, you can load a full 2,048 sample impulse response by

selecting IR, or a truncated 1,024 sample IR by selecting IR 1024. For the highest quality sound, use the 2,048

sample IR type. To save DSP power for adding more effects to your rig, use the 1,024 sample IR type.

Effects

There are several types of available effects. Their adjustable

settings depend on the type of effect.
