What’s new in 5.2:
- Two NAM blocks per rig: Players can run 2 NAM Blocks in their signal chain, allowing for more sonic combinations Across the two blocks the pedals now support up to 2 NAM A2 Full files or 4 NAM A2 Lite files per rig..
- Stereo Doubling: Two NAM amps go to separate outputs for a wide stereo sound.
- Switch Doubling: Players can switch between two NAM captures instantly, without changing presets and without any gap in sound.
- Calibration metadata: HeadRush reads the input and output levels saved with compatible captures, so gain matching is more accurate.
Smoother switching: Changing Scenes and Rigs with NAM files is smoother. The update also fixes TONE3000 browsing issues and improves DSP performance.
Why it matters: Plenty of modellers support NAM now. HeadRush is still the only one where players can browse, preview and download TONE3000 captures right on the pedal’s touchscreen. With 5.2, the Flex Prime, Core and Prime further establish HeadRush as the open-tone platform offering even greater value with another significant free update.
