What material is the Decksaver Headrush Looperboard Cover made from?

The cover is manufactured from high-quality, durable polycarbonate. This material is chosen for its extreme strength and ability to resist impact damage while remaining lightweight.

Does this cover fit other looper pedals?

No, this specific model is custom-moulded to fit only the Headrush Looperboard. Using it with other pedals may result in an insecure fit and inadequate protection.

Is the Headrush Looperboard included with the cover?

The Headrush Looperboard is not included. The product consists solely of the protective polycarbonate shell; images showing the pedal are for reference purposes only.

Can I leave my cables plugged in while the cover is on?

Yes, the precision-trimmed design allows for cables to remain connected. This ensures the equipment is always ready for use immediately after removing the cover.

What is the typical price range for this cover?

The typical price for this Decksaver cover is approximately £44. Prices may vary slightly depending on the retailer and shipping costs.

Does the cover protect against water damage?

The cover protects against accidental liquid spills and dust. However, it is not waterproof and will not protect the unit from complete submersion or heavy rain.

What color is the Decksaver cover?

The cover features a 'smoked clear' finish. This allows the user to see the Looperboard's interface and status lights while the cover is securely in place.

Will this cover fit inside a gig bag?

Yes, its slim, form-fitting design is intended to add protection without significantly increasing the unit's size. It is designed to slide easily into a gig bag or flight case.

How does this compare to a soft padded bag?

Unlike a soft bag, the Decksaver is a rigid shell that prevents knobs from being crushed or the screen from being cracked. It is often used in conjunction with a soft bag for layered protection.

Is the cover easy to clean?

Yes, the polycarbonate surface can be wiped clean with a soft cloth. It is designed to be low-maintenance while keeping the Looperboard underneath pristine.

Does the cover protect the underside of the pedal?

No, the Decksaver cover protects the top surface, controls, and screen. The bottom of the pedal remains exposed to its original feet or mounting surface.

Why is polycarbonate used instead of standard plastic?

Polycarbonate is significantly stronger than standard plastics like acrylic. It provides superior impact resistance and durability, which is essential for protecting expensive musical equipment.

Decksaver Headrush Looperboard Cover

Overview

The Decksaver Headrush Looperboard Cover is a professional-grade protective accessory engineered to fit the unique dimensions of the Headrush Looperboard. Manufactured from polycarbonate—a material frequently utilised in the production of bulletproof glass—this cover offers a high level of protection against physical trauma and environmental pollutants without significantly increasing the footprint of the device.

Design and Construction

The cover features a precision-trimmed design that ensures a snug fit over the Looperboard's chassis. The custom moulding accounts for all knobs, faders, and buttons, shielding these sensitive components from being knocked or damaged. A key feature of the design is the inclusion of space to accommodate connected cables, allowing users to keep their rig patched while the cover is in place. The 'smoked clear' finish provides a transparent view of the unit's interface while maintaining a sleek aesthetic.

Protective Features

Designed to mitigate the risks associated with both studio storage and live performance travel, the cover serves as a barrier against several common hazards:

Dust and Dirt: Prevents particulate matter from entering the Looperboard's inputs and affecting the internal electronics.
Liquids: Offers a degree of protection against spills, which is particularly useful in stage environments.
Impact: The rigid polycarbonate shell absorbs shocks that would otherwise damage the screen or control knobs.
Accidental Setting Changes: The shell prevents controls from being moved while the unit is in a bag or flight case.

Comparison and Use Case

Unlike soft cases or bags, such as the Gear4Music Rock Fusion Drum Bag Set or Latin Percussion LP Cajon Bag, which provide padding but less structural rigidity, the Decksaver cover offers a hard-shell solution that fits directly onto the device. This allows the Looperboard to be placed inside a secondary padded bag or flight case for maximum protection. While other accessories like the BAM 2002B Artisto Oblong Violin Case are dedicated standalone transport solutions for specific instruments, the Decksaver is a form-fitting shield intended to stay with the device at all times.
