USB Audio Settings: 
Important note for Windows users: Before connecting the Headrush Gigboard to your computer, download and 
install the necessary drivers from headrushfx.com/support. 
Sample Rate: This setting determines the sample rate of the USB audio signal: 44.1 kHz, 48.0 kHz or 96.0 kHz. 
Remember to select the same sample rate as the one in your DAW. Also, set it before opening your DAW.

USB connection. Tap On to enable sending of the USB audio signal with the selected Sample Rate. Tap 
Off to disable the USB audio signal. (To change the Sample Rate, set USB Audio to Off first, select the 
correct sample rate, set USB Audio to On again, and restart your DAW.) 
USB Mode: This setting determines how the HeadRush Gigboard sends its audio signal over the USB 
connection and how its outputs function while doing so: 
•  Live: The audio signal will be sent to your computer as well as to the HeadRush Gigboard’s outputs. 
•  DAW: The audio signal will be sent to your computer only. The HeadRush Gigboard’s outputs will be 
disabled to prevent any latency while monitoring. 
•  Reamp: Your computer will send an audio signal to the HeadRush Gigboard, which will process it 
through the current rig and send it back to your computer. The HeadRush Gigboard’s outputs will be 
disabled to prevent any latency while monitoring 
MIDI Settings: These settings determine how the HeadRush Gigboard sends and receives MIDI information to 
and from external devices. These settings affect only the HeadRush Gigboard’s MIDI input or MIDI output. 
MIDI Thru: Tap On to use the MIDI output as a MIDI throughput; any MIDI information sent to the HeadRush 
Gigboard’s MIDI input will be sent directly to the MIDI output. Tap Off to use the HeadRush Gigboard’s 
MIDI output normally; the HeadRush Gigboard will be able to send its own MIDI information out of the MIDI 
output. 
Recv MIDI Clock: Tap On to enable the HeadRush Gigboard to receive MIDI clock information. Tap Off to 
use the HeadRush Gigboard’s own internal MIDI clock (which will not be sent out). 
Prog Change: Tap Send to enable or disable the HeadRush Gigboard’s transmission of MIDI program change 
messages when you load a rig. Tap Recv to enable or disable the HeadRush Gigboard’s reception of MIDI 
program change messages from an external MIDI device. 
MIDI Channel: This setting determines the MIDI channel(s) that the HeadRush Gigboard will send and receive 
MIDI messages. Tap this field, turn the encoder to select all channels (Omni), or 1–16, and then press the 
encoder. 
Reminders: 
Confirm Unsaved: This setting determines whether or 
not you will see a confirmation message if you change 
the rig while there are unsaved changes on the current 
one. Tap On to enable these messages or Off to 
disable them. 
Alternatively, tap Do not show this dialog again in the 
message itself to disable them.
