The HeadRush VX5 is a dedicated vocal effects unit that makes the coveted, industry-standard Antares AutoTune® pitch correction technology available to vocalists in any live performance or studio setting—no computer needed.

By fine-tuning the Humanize and Retune Speed knobs, you can dial in a variety of different vocal textures—from subtle pitch correction to the bold, defining vocal styles of huge pop artists like, the VX5 can do it all.

This dynamic vocal effects unit gives musicians and performers access to a playground of professional-quality effects and processing power, all contained in a sleek and easy-to-use stomp box.
