  • Page 9: Basic Operations

    Basic Operations Important: The sequence of models in your signal chain is not necessarily reflected in the footswitches. You can freely assign models to available footswitches without changing your signal chain at all—and vice versa. See Hardware Assign to learn about this. To assign a model (amp, cab, or effect) to an empty slot, tap it () and then use the list that appears.

    Rigs While using the HeadRush Pedalboard, a rig is a preset: the combination of assigned models—the amps, cabs, and effects—and the parameter settings of each of them. You can create, edit, save, and load rigs, making it easy to recall the perfect sound for each part of your performance.
  • Page 14: Optimizing Your Signal Chain
