"Headrushes are great!"

From what i have used tis has great tones. They are good for what the job is and they dont mess up the sound.

Quality:
It is a Korg, Korg makes great products, hince this a great product. It is made well and is strong.

Value:
250 dollars isn't chump change, but what you're getting is a quality product that is FUN and easy to use!

Desirability:
Blue is always cool and it is not a bad shade of it either! It has straight forward styling and that is what i like.

Sound:
The quality used in making this product is exceptional. The loop feature is a lot of fun. It is a great beang for the buck product. I'll be getting one as soon as i can afford it (i am only 15 so money is limited but this product is still affordable).

Support:
I haven't had to deal with the company, because the products have always been quality.

Overall:
This "pedal" has everything. It has a loop, which i love. The freedom of the loop is excelent, and eas of use is great!

About This Product!
Description
From Our Catalog
Following on from where the award-winning E1 left off, the new E2 Headrush delay pedal brings delay, tape echo simulations and a looping recorder in one convenient pedal. User selectable delay options allow for maximum control of signal output and include several real-time timing and level adjustment selections as well as feedback level for repeats.

Headrush can also simulate a 4-head analog tape echo machine and it is possible to set the spacing between these "virtual: heads to create complex multiple delays and repeats. You can also set the decay characteristics of these heads. Furthermore, the outputs of each of these virtual heads appear on individual outputs for ultimate flexibility when used with an external mixing console.

The Looping Recorder mode allows you to record and overdub layer after layer of sound in real-time making the Headrush 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.

Features:
16-bit Digital Delay - Delay time from 0.5ms to an astonishing 35 seconds maximum (*)

Tape Echo mode with four individual outputs for each head

Looping Recorder with overdub mode - Powerful tool for solo performances

Head Gap adjusts the delay time between the heads

HF Damp simulates an analog delay sound

Feedback sets the feedback level for repeat times

Ratio allows adjustment of wet and dry mix

Real-time delay control - sets delay time by tapping footswitch twice

(*) Depending on the selected mode
Use the Headrush as a loop sampler, a clean delay, or a tape echo simulator with individual controls and outputs for all 4 heads!
