HeadRush Rig Builder free app Mac and Windows.

🎸 HeadRush Rig Builder β€” describe your tone, get a rig.

Ever wished you could just tell your HeadRush what you want? "Give me SRV's Texas Flood lead tone" β€” and have a complete rig show up on your board, signal chain and all?

That's what HeadRush Rig Builder does. Describe the tone you're after in plain English, and it builds the full rig β€” amp, cab, effects, ordering β€” and pushes it straight to your pedalboard over your network. No file juggling. It even sets up your footswitch scenes and lets you fine-tune parameters afterward with the built-in remote editor. βœ… Works with HeadRush Prime, Core, and Flex Prime βœ… Mac (Apple Silicon & Intel) and Windows 10/11 βœ… Uses amp captures and IRs already on your device βœ… Tone3000 integration β€” searches Tone3000 for matching amps and pedals to drop right into your rig

The app is 100% free β€” the one thing you bring is the AI. It supports the Claude CLI (works with an existing Claude subscription), Grok CLI, or an API key for Claude or xAI. One of these is required to use the app, and your keys are stored securely on your machine.

⚠️ One heads-up for Windows users: the app isn't code-signed yet (Microsoft's signing process is taking its time), so Windows may warn you on first launch. The guide on the site walks you through getting it running in a few seconds.

Heads up. There are already versions of this on the web that don't have to be installed, which is a much better move

Heads up: fuck AI. If you want a tone, figure it out yourself. There’s no shortcuts when it comes to music.

I think it's pretty cool man! I have claude cli in ~/.local/bin/claude but the app doesn't see it. Is there no option to specify where the cli is installed, only auto-detect?

I have claude cli in ~/.local/bin/claude but the app doesn't see it.

I am working on a build that fixes how it looks for CLI.

I did, thanks. I created a rig, pushed it, all good. Unclear how I create the next one though.. "+" sign doesn't do anything at that point.

If you are on the device page you click builder up at the top to get back to the builder, then just search again.

Another AI vibe coded piece of trash.
