The Headrush MX5 is a five-footswitch compact amp modeler and multi-effects unit with a color touchscreen and onboard expression pedal, sitting between the smaller Gigboard and Headrush's larger processors. It targets players who want more live footswitch control than the Gigboard offers while staying in a pedalboard-friendly form factor.
