Meet the New HeadRush VX5

July 22, 2025

Who Is This For?

The HeadRush VX5 vocal effects pedal is designed for multiple audiences who value professional vocal quality. The VX5 was developed specifically to address the needs of vocalists, musicians and producers without compromising on sound quality or performance.

For singers, it’s a game-changing tool in an era where audiences expect pitch-perfect performances, allowing vocalists to confidently replicate studio sounds live on stage.
Musicians who aren’t primarily vocalists gain newfound confidence through pitch correction, freeing them to focus on emotion and playing rather than worrying about pitch accuracy.
Producers benefit from the VX5’s AutoTune® technology when demoing vocals quickly, making it an ideal tool for rapid production workflows.
Live music venues, audio engineers, and karaoke hosts can offer enhanced vocal support to performers through this dedicated processor, giving all vocalists a professional lift regardless of their natural abilities.

Why Does This Matter?

Audiences today expect pitch-perfect performances. The HeadRush VX5 answers this need by allowing singers to confidently perform and replicate the sounds on their records. With dedicated Retune Speed and Humanize knobs, performers can adjust from subtle pitch correction to the classic hard AutoTune® effect without requiring a computer.

For producers, the VX5 offers an indispensable tool for demoing vocals quickly. The intuitive interface and comprehensive effects make it an ideal demo-making tool when speed is essential.
