All user reviews of 5/5 for the Akai Professional Head Rush E2

I use both the tape analog mostly but the digital delay works very well too. I use a TC Electronics Ditto for my loop. Both of these pedals are awesome; together, I doubt that there is a better combo for an on stage pedal board.

UTILIZATION

Tape analog and digital delay each SUPER easy to use and they do it very, very well.

SOUND QUALITY

No noticeable high end loss or hum.

OVERALL OPINION

Almost perfect. The downside is the large footprint and that a standard 9v (adapter) isn't used. The loop time is very short, hence my use of the Ditto looper (10 mins and SUPER small footprint).

Overall, it is worth it's price just for the tape analog delay and digital delay, both for the ease of use and the customization abilities available. The size being that of two pedals makes it ok as you ARE getting two pedals in one.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is childish, the sytme of loop is very well Designed, I had fun trs quickly. I have not had a look at the manual yet, so all is well.

SOUND QUALITY

The quality of the delay and the echo is excellent compared my zoom 707 (cavernous), my Digitech Quad (a good but not impersonal), my Logic plug, the H2 is largely over for the guitar.

For the function loop (which motivated my purchase) the initial sound is a loss (when recording in any fawn is still losing the punch of the amp). In the case of the HeadRush, I find the loss ngligeable a good amp (I play on a small Fender Blues Junior and sounds !!!). I had several Akai samplers their sound has never POS problem.

To be complete here are my uses:

Or guitar-lctrique lctro to compose, test deuxime scratch or jam live, it's simple and have fun buddy soon be provided with the rhythm (the loop is deprecated to "musicians not square"), as with any long delay in Systm or sampling the quality of the closure of ease dpend rhythm (the machine is perfect for this view The closure is nickel)

-With a small Yamaha mixer on which I plug in a microphone static scne, my bass (through a SansAmp) and guitar (through a Vox Tonelab) with a I test a bunch of ides by asking layers succssives instrument (we have the right to have fun!)

-With a mixer on a drum set (if the headphone is not possible) to compose odd rhythmic loops

Rhodes, with my live is interesting too.

I prfre is the simplicity and power of the fashion loop, which I regret (I'm not the only one) is the lack of cumulative effects and memory loops ( but it is a guiding pedals live, it's not a multitrack!)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two weeks, but I knew his sister ane the H1 as the guitarist from my old group used often.

I tried the Boss, but I like least, and then the H2 looks like a tank, it inspires confidence.
I find the correct price quality ratio, I would do without this choice problem, I deuxime a guitarist on hand at all times (well, it tends to want to play like me, but there is no whims star)

See previous opinion and E1.
The second version has more time loop and snore less.

UTILIZATION

Config extremely simple, everything is clear, even a drummer like me can use it, it said.
There's just the delay of 4 outputs that a little gadget in my eyes.
I am using the looper that actually, once in the very short delay to make a snare that sounds dub, and it works.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it now mute the output of the table, and I go to turn a line of low groundwater cheap organ and FX, and especially my DDRUM4.
The quality is impeccable for me, provided it does not overlap the same frequencies. She rounded a little sound, but it is not much.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had almost 2 years, and I confess it's my favorite toy.
It's simple, fun and it is especially an excellent teaching aid (I put a click in the base, I play over, I listen if I'm really in place)

In fact the basis I have chosen following a discussion with Cyril Atef, who uses two with which he juggles. I think to buy me a second for the same reasons.

For 150 € OCCAZ 'I would do the same choice.

UTILIZATION

Simple operation, no need for any manual is clear.
Buttons very reactive ...

SOUND QUALITY

The digital delay is perfect for me:
Setting tap tempo-precise
Hf-button warm damp perfectly sound (it will delay the ultra cool to the analog sound)
Long-period delay
tape echo simulation disappointed me on a point that if you move the button one time does not affect the pitch of repetition as the de-7 for ibanez. What I think is a shame and what m requires it to keep for-7 for that.
Otherwise the tape echo is very clean and gets dirty as the extreme settings; ..
Time-loop is sufficient for me because that time I did not superimpose bass over 3 couches.La sound quality is perfect

OVERALL OPINION

Only tested and adopted looper
to 112.9 euros MusicStore he buries all other at value for money ....
Good options delay

Digital delay with three modes: standard delay, tape echo emulation, and looper. It has 23 seconds of delay time.


There are controls for level of the delay or looper, high frequency damping (high end roll off), feedback, time, ratio, and head gap.

1/4' inputs and outputs including a wet only output, mix output (head 1), and outputs for heads 2,3 and 4. It requires a 9volt Dc adapter

UTILIZATION

I bought this pedal second hand without a manual and didn't have too hard of a time figuring it out. The basic set up is just like any other delay pedal but gets a little more intricate if you plan on using the individual head outputs. I did not get too into that part but it allows you to send four separate delay lines out through different outputs. The delay lines are divided by the ratio and head gap knobs.

SOUND QUALITY

I used this pedal in a guitar set up and the sound quality was great. I never really noticed any tonal degradation but then again I'm not super particular about that kind of thing. I don't set my amp up with just the guitar and then expect it to sound exactly the same after plugging ten pedals in line before it. The tape echo mode was very nice and the high frequency damping allows you to get a pretty authentic sound. I am sure you would notice the difference in a studio but for live use I would much rather drag this out then bring an old actual tape unit out that requires maintenance. The looping was very clean and the stomps have a great feel. This is on par if not better than the line 6 dl4 in regards to getting you loops in time.

OVERALL OPINION

I have heard of problems with people loosing loops and other hiccups but I never came across this in the 2 years I owned it.

I think I am in the majority when I say that I used this pedal in looper mode 99% of the time. The delays sounded fine and I'm sure there are people out there that love the separate "head" outputs but I think there are better options for a stand alone delay pedal. The looper is just great and is worth the price of admission on it's own. I no longer own the pedal but I would buy one again in a heart beat if I needed another looper.
