Re: Any comments on the Akai Headrush?

["Larry Tremblay" <ltct@concentric.net>]

I don't about the L6 DL4 - I tried one and it didn't seem too
useful as a looper machine. I do have the Akai Headrush though.
First off, the the Headrush is not a Jamman - in capabilities or
price. The Akai is a nice stompbox looper because it's
conceptually similar to tape-looping, which I prefer anyway.

I often wish something like the Headrush had come along
when I first started looping. It's sort of like having
4 tape machines, and beats having to buy several tape
decks or Digitech delays.

Highly recommended.
