Akai Head Rush E2

Akai

Submitted by AULOS from Hereford Uk (488 points) on May 17, 2010
I picked one of these out recently primarily for looping. It has four outputs to simulate tape echo heads like the original E1 and also a normal delay. There are many specifically unique parameters for the delay which take a lot of getting used to. I use a DL4 for looping but everyone has been ranting on about the Akai. The best feature by far is erasing overdubs. You can layer them all up and take them away back to your source riff. Very cool for epic buildups. If you use a DL4 and want a more serious looper this is a good move but you have to take into account the very different operation of the unit.
Good Points: Sturdy 4 Outputs Tap Tempo Looper with Overdub Erasing Practical size Normal/Tape echo
Bad Points: Hard to learn PSU is impractically large.

Looping is not immediately logical.
