The E2 Headrush pedal is a fantastic little stompbox that is equally suited to rock guitarists, dub-heads and Basic Channel fans alike. It is absolutely awesome and a firm favourite at Rubadub. It comes strongly recommended from everyone we know who has used it!
The Headrush is seriously versatile, capable of emulating classic tape delays, echos and also working as an incredibly comprehensive looping pedal. It has a jaw-dropping maximum delay time of 23.8 seconds for creating the most insane dubbed out effects you can imagine. It is seriously solidly built and exudes toughness, we reckon you'd be hard pushed to destroy this little bad-boy with even the most outrageous on-stage antics. Although, we seriously doubt that the stage is the only place you'll use this. The headrush is so fantastic sounding that we'd be very surprised if you weren't using it on every track you produce.
What can we say, this pedal is awesome and a bargain to boot. Strongly recommended!
The Akai Professional E2 HEAD RUSH combines delay, tape echo, and a looping recorder in a single pedal. User-selectable delay options allow for maximum control of output signal. Real-time feedback and gain adjustment as well as echo rate enable sounds to be shaped with precision.
E2 HEAD RUSH also simulates a four-head analog-tape machine with control of decay and spacing between virtual-tape heads to create complex multiple delays and repeats. The signal from each virtual head appears on an individual output for multiple returns when used with an external mixing console or multiple amps.
Looping Recorder mode enables you to record and overdub layer after layer of sound in real-time, making E2 HEAD RUSH an unbelievable live performance tool.
Depending upon which mode is selected, the left footswitch controls the on/off and play/stop functions while the right footswitch sets the tap delay time or recording and overdub options. The LED display indicates which effect in use and blinks in time showing the delay time selected.
E2 HEAD RUSH empowers you to bring back sounds of yesterday, blend them with the ruggedness and flexibility of today’s technology, and add new functionality. Every effect-pedal board needs one!
