The Akai E2 Headrush Delay/Looper Pedal picks up
where the award-winning E1 left off. This stompbox brings together
16-bit digital delay with times from 0.5ms to an astonishing 35
seconds, tape echo simulations with 4 separate heads, and a looping
recorder in one convenient effects pedal.
In addition to
offering digital and analog-type delay sounds, user-selectable delay
options allow for maximum control of signal output. There are several
realtime interval and level adjustment selections as well as feedback
level for repeats.
Headrush can also simulate a 4-head analog
tape echo machine and it is possible to set the spacing between the
virtual heads to create complex multiple delays and repeats. The
outputs of each of the virtual heads appear on individual outputs for
ultimate flexibility when used with an external mixing console.
The
looping mode allows you to record and overdub layer after layer of
sound in real time making Headrush an unbelievable live performance
tool.
Depending upon which mode is selected, the left switch
controls the on/off and play/stop functions while the right switch sets
the tap delay time or recording and overdub options. The LED display
indicates which effect is in use and blinks in time showing the delay
time selected.
