Transferring Files & Settings
Over a USB connection, you can transfer rig, setlist, model
preset, loop, and/or impulse response (IR) files between your
computer and the HeadRush MX5.
We recommend creating a backup copy of your files to your
computer before you make any changes.
Important:
Do not disconnect or power off the HeadRush MX5 during the
process.
Any unsupported files will be ignored.
You cannot transfer a folder or .zip/archive folder to/from
HeadRush MX5. Instead, transfer any supported files directly.
We recommend organizing the file structure of your rigs,
setlists, model presets, and/or impulse response files on your
computer so that it’s identical to the file structure as shown on
the HeadRush MX5 “drive.”
To transfer files between the HeadRush MX5 and your computer:
1. Connect your computer to the HeadRush MX5’s USB port using a standard USB cable.
2. With your computer powered on, power on the HeadRush MX5 using the power switch.
3. Tap the  button in the upper-right corner of the screen and then tap Global Settings.
4. In the Global Settings screen, tap the  button in the upper-right corner of the screen, and tap USB Transfer.
On your computer, the HeadRush MX5 will appear as a mass-storage device called HeadRush.
Windows users: If this is the first time you’ve connected it to this computer, you may need to wait a minute
while it installs the class-compliant drivers.
5. Open the HeadRush drive. You can now freely click and drag contents between HeadRush and your
computer. Note that any changes you make to the contents of your HeadRush are immediate and cannot be
cancelled.
6. IMPORTANT: When you are finished transferring contents, you must unmount/eject the HeadRush drive
from your computer. File corruption may occur if the drive is not properly ejected before continuing.
7. After the drive has been ejected, tap Sync on your
HeadRush MX5 to "commit" any changes you made to the
contents of the HeadRush drive. An additional prompt will
appear to confirm you have ejected the drive. Tap Proceed
to continue or Cancel to continue accessing files on your
computer.
As the HeadRush MX5 analyzes and imports the files, a
meter on the display will indicate its progress. The normal
Global Settings screen will reappear when the process is
finished. Do not disconnect or power off HeadRush MX5
during the sync process.
