The Akai E2 Headrush provides multiple great sounding effects from one rugged blue stombox. Besides an astonishing 23.8 seconds maximum delay time, the Akai E2 Headrush is also a fully functional looper, making it simple for guitarists, bass players, and even vocalists to overdub and layer performances. The Akai E2 Headrush also includes a 4-head analogue tape echo simulator with four individual outputs for each head. If you're looking for useful and versatile delay, echo and looping effects, the Akai E2 Headrush belongs on your pedal board.

Developed from the Akai E1 Headrush, the Akai E2 Headrush delay effects stompbox brings together 16-bit digital delay with times from 0.5 ms to an astonishing 23.8 seconds, tape echo simulations with 4 separate heads, and a looping recorder in one convenient effects pedal. The Akai E2 Headrush will be used live by guitar and bass players, as well as vocalists, as the looping recorder with unlimited overdubs creates elaborate solo performances.

User selectable delay options on the Akai E2 Headrush allow for maximum control of signal output and include several real-time timing and level adjustment selections as well as feedback level for repeats.

AKAI E2 HEADRUSH AND ANALOGUE TAPE ECHO

The Akai E2 Headrush can also simulate a 4-head analogue tape echo machine and it is possible to set the spacing between these 'virtual' heads to create complex multiple delays and repeats. The looping mode allows you to record and overdub layer after layer of sound in real time making Headrush an unbelievable live performance tool. You can also set the decay characteristics of the 4 heads. Furthermore, the outputs of each of these virtual heads appear on individual outputs for ultimate flexibility when used with an external mixing console.

AKAI E2 HEADRUSH LOOPING RECORDER

The LOOPING RECORDER mode allows you to record and overdub layer after layer of sound in real-time making the Akai Headrush an unbelievable live performance tool.

Depending upon which mode is selected on the Akai E2 Headrush, 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.
