rigs, setlists, presets, etc.), Recording (to a digital audio workstation [DAW]), or Reamping.
Transferring Files & Settings
Over a USB connection, you can transfer rig, setlist, model preset, and/or impulse response (IR) files between
your computer and the HeadRush Gigboard.
We recommend creating a backup copy of your files to your computer before you make any changes.
Important:
Do not disconnect or power off the HeadRush Gigboard during the process.
Any unsupported files will be ignored.
We recommend organizing the file structure of your rigs, setlists, model presets, and/or impulse response files on
your computer so that it’s identical to the file structure as shown on the HeadRush Gigboard “drive.”
To transfer files between the HeadRush Gigboard and your computer:
1. Connect your computer to the HeadRush Gigboard’s USB port using a standard USB cable.
2. With your computer powered on, power on the HeadRush Gigboard using the power switch.
3. Tap the  button in the upper-right corner of the screen, and tap Global Settings.
4. In the Global Settings screen, tap the  button in the upper-right corner of the screen, and tap USB Transfer.
On your computer, the HeadRush Gigboard will appear as a mass-storage device called HeadRush.
Windows users: If this is the first time you’ve connected it to this computer, you may need to wait a minute
while it installs the class-compliant drivers.
5. Open the HeadRush drive. You can now freely click and drag contents between HeadRush and your
computer. Note that any changes you make to the contents of your HeadRush will not be final until after the
next step, but any changes you make to the files on your computer are immediate.
6. To apply your changes to the contents of HeadRush, tap Sync. This will “commit” any changes you made.
As the HeadRush Gigboard analyzes and imports the files, a meter on the display will indicate its progress.
The normal Global Settings screen will reappear when the process is finished.
To cancel your changes the contents of HeadRush, tap  in the upper-left corner. This will cancel any
changes you made. Any changes you made to files on your computer will remain, though.
