About This Item
Description
Want to practice guitar through headphones without lugging an amp? The Rushead Max plugs straight into your guitar, running world-class amp models plus switchable modulation and ambient effects through a 5-hour rechargeable battery.
Why guitarists choose the Rushead Max
- Plugs directly into your guitar — no amp, no cables to a separate unit, just headphones for silent practice anywhere.
- Clean, overdrive and distortion voicings modeled on world-class guitar amplifiers cover a wide practice tone range.
- A switchable mod module (chorus/tremolo/flanger) and ambient module (reverb/delay) add texture without extra pedals.
- 5 hours of battery life from a USB-rechargeable 5V lithium battery.
Rushead Max RH-100 vs Rushead Max Bass (RH-101)
Same chassis, weight and battery runtime as the Rushead Max Bass (RH-101) — the difference is the voicing set (guitar amps vs bass amps) and the ambient module naming (delay here vs echo on the bass version). Choose based on your instrument.
Controls
- 5 knobs: LEVEL, TONE, AMBIENT, MOD, GAIN.
- Switchable mod module: chorus / tremolo / flanger.
- Switchable ambient module: reverb and delay.
Power and compatibility
5V lithium battery, up to 5 hours per charge, charged over USB.
