Akai E2 Head Rush Effects Pedal
Delay, Tape Echo, and Loop Recorder in a Single Pedal
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!
