Akai E2 Head Rush Delay / Looper Pedal Demonstration, Part Two: The Five Amp Special

[djtrouserfunk]

Attention all nerds out there: go buy 5 amps, and enjoy 2 fisted wanking all night long...sheez!

[TheMajoto]

i think he dose an excellent job explainning very clear and concise thank you son

[RUDIE110]

first time I've got a pedal and used one and Im shit with technology and thats what is holding me back. I haven't got a mixer for it cause I can't afford one and I'm which sucks. how do you use tape echo delay and loop with that? can you do that? It's so frustrating. I've got so much to give and the lack of understanding of technology is getting me down and holding me back. Would be awsome if i could get some simple instructions :) please

[RUDIE110]

@RUDIE110 and I'm using it just straight through an amp** which sucks. thats what I meant

[eltonjohnfan109]

5 amps sounded excellent with the Pun'kins riff

[Lehmann108]

Ground loop!



[brettthebrat67]

Lugging 5 of them around makes me think of a time when a huge piece of dirt, clay and rocks fell on my back in a trench and my friends had to get it off. I told them to stop screaming just dont hit me in the back with the shovel. Talk about a backache.

[brettthebrat67]

Im glad I watched the Videos, I certainly do not want a pedal that has outputs for 5 Amps. I dont have the money for 5 at the moment nor do I think I will waste that much bread in the future. Sounds cool but I work with ONE amp and plan on not having 2 85 watt tube amps but one practice and one normal amp.

[yobhsiFehT]

I love that he's clearly sitting on the floor for this demo lol

Thanks for posting, Gearwire!

[Yahoomediaclub]

Great Looper but who do u know has 5 amps let alone one for gigging?

My point is why not just feed into a stereo amp/ PA from a small mixer? fed to ONE STEREO AMP!

[bareknuckle52]

hahhaha yes nice pumpkins riff at the end there.

[pop4bernie]

Great effect for Smashing Pumpkins covers :)

[mL3811]

Cool demo

[fivethumbsfrank]

very good review, I like the fact that you explained everything in detail, very helpful for me.

[Goth108]

what is it with this guy makes him talking that much.. i skipped through both videos to hear at leat anything of the pedal and almost didn't miss a bit of his explaining :P

[thevibedied]

so theoretically each output or "head" could have any number of additional effects in the chain?

wow the possibilities for experimentation with this get me giddy.

[333690013409A]

Dude that tape echo mode is sweet. Thats like the epic sound I've been looking for, except I'm going to run through a fulltone plimsoul distortion pedal. Ill run all 5 channels through a mixing board should be pretty sweet.

[bus18041981]

"why am I talking?". Yes dude, you got the point. Bitch!

[danielfnj]

sounds like the beginning of fly like a eagle

[insightdelight]

All these nice amps, a sweet pedal and then you turn on what sounds like a Boss Metal Zone for your distortion. Yowza. Bad choice, whatever it is.

[gongadesh]

@insightdelight He says... " throw on the Radial Tonebone". Not a Boss, but I agree doesn't sound that great.

[openthedoar]

I believe the 5 outputs are for a mixer in a studio....not a live setup lol. It just makes more sense that way.

[theempiremelts]

Cherub Rock!!!!!

[Gahooth]

Why the hell do people keep on commenting for this Owen guy to stop talking? When I watch a demonstration I want to know how the pedal works and what its capabilities are. I don't want to sit around hearing someone jam on a loop pedal for 10mins.

You made a very good review!

[bozzy369]

Thing is if you just wanted to play five amps at once you could just use a mixer,one with a loop and all could get delay,now the pannning is kinda kool but theres effects that do that too.kinda a kool toy though,might be kooler run into 5 channels of a recording mixer for great guitar recordings,just a thought.

[GlowWorm1962]

JUST PLAY FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!!!

[GlowWorm1962]

JUST PLAY FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!!!

[TheSoundOfWolves]

YES!!! THIS IS GREAT FOR GIGS

[xNinja73x]

how do you turn that damn thing off?

[jrbirdsong]

stop talking!



[Funkussionist]

Very cool

[Prayyou]

Cherub Rock!!!

[kalci]

play, you moron!

[freesoulvw]

i wonder if you could throw all 5 lines into a mixer and then mono out to a single amp, that way you can get the 5 repeat thing with only one or two amps, you might be able to get that sound by just messing with the settings, when in single amp out put, but I thought it might work, people dog about the talk, but I think it is good to have as much description as possible, thanks for explaining and not just jacking in and showing off

[Dragging1Canoe]

Can't explain all the feelings that you're makin' me feeeeel!!!!

Gotta love the nod to The Darkness.

[leonkennedy74]

Fuck this pedal, just get a Memory Man with Hazarai and save yourself the trouble of sounding stupid through 5 amps. I guess this would be cool if you wanted to send a dry signal through another delay but the MM/H can do that with Stereo... And god, please get rid of that Radial Tonebone and get a Fuzz Factory or a Fender Blender for god's sake!

[HackerGuitarist]

@leonkennedy74 it's a pedal demo you rude idiot, and don't tell me what gear to buy either

[leonkennedy74]

@HackerGuitarist I don't see how it being a pedal demo means anything at all, the video was garbage and sounded god awful. Why are you here if you're not looking at a variety of pedals? Ya know what, I don't really care why you're here, piss off mate. You got a problem with people sharing their opinions, maybe Youtube isn't the right place for you.

[jorgepeterbarton]

@leonkennedy74 hazarai is alot more versatile, but i'm looking for this in addition to it.the looper can get really messy with the hazarai, you have to hold it down to loop, and the 'repeat knob of whatever delay used changes the attenuation of the loops. so a second simpler looper works well and also using two delays for rhythmic repeats(which the headrush already kindof does... i think they'd go well together...

annoying though- it looks like the 5 heads don't go out through one input.

[kmph59]

@jorgepeterbarton you are very right!

[Zlandicar]

Came here to hear a demo, had the manual read to me instead.

[BillyEchoes]

damn your talking alot... annoying

[bloodySunday77]

Great. They went from that other guy (who was a disaster) to the new guy (who is a great player but thinks it's best to TALK instead of PLAY). Gearwire seems to be doomed for eternity.

[saksilangit]

shitloaded !

[pickandgrin]

Dude... you can put your guitar in the clothes dryer and get the same sound! Set it on for 1 hour and you can have infinite repeats and if you want more you can turn the knob to the right and set it for another hour and have more infinite repeats!! And if you have five clothes dryers you can borrow all of your neighbors guitars and put them in too!!! Thanks for the video and saving me the money! I'm sure your intentions were good but really... there should be a law about talking in these videos!

[jesjes21]

ahahahah "what better time than now...than to turn on the radial tonebone..." and make it sound like garbage? if that's what 5 amps sounds like, i'll stick with 1-2.

[papersun87]

"Why am I talking?" . . . a very profound question indeed.

[BluesBigMan]

Why all american people love to talk, talk and just talk ! This demo sucks....

[Youreallysuckguy]

sweet ground loop lol

[mikeyfatstrings]

that's pretty damn badass.

too bad i don't have 5 amps.

[thehasslessydney]

it sounds silly, but it has 5 outputs. someone is going to make something wonderful happen by way of this pedal.

[kelseykbazar]

can you plug a standard mic (Shure SM58) into his pedal in order to use the looping function with vocals?

[justinsanesaid12]

holy shit-cakes

[Eeklair]

i get it, but it's not a practical application... Thank you for the dissertation, i will avoid this unit at all costs. The Boss Loop Station is more what I need I think.

[cowboytonydee]

" Yeah, that's pretty sweet... "

[cowboytonydee]

I like it when he plays on the 5 amps with the tonebone. ;)

[gluv1]

can you use the echo whilst looping?

[s9059]

nah

[burntumber]

@gluv1

you can't use the delay and loop at the same time. I've wanted a pedal that can do that forever.

[gluv1]

@burntumber since my comment i have baught one and i also got the floor pod so i can loop with delay :) cheers 4 helping out tho! XD

[vibearato]

line 6 dl-4

[MarijnvdZaag]

Nice :p

[MarijnvdZaag]

Oh by the way, for playing through more than one amp at the same signal you only need to split (well and maybe preamp) the output of the guitar. No need for a device like this for splitting purpose only.

[AEpooptube]

yeah, you could do that, but this outputs like a 4 head echo which means each amp is echoing at different times. you cant do that with any delay. the signal goes from one amp to the next to the nxt to the next to the next =, not delayed all at the same time. it sounds pretty incredible. you cant really hear it in the video of course.

[im0mole]

less talk,more play:P

[skylandmountain]

Dude, what's the pedal at 8:50 - A Radial Tone what?

Fuck Yeah!

[AEpooptube]

Radial Tone Bone.

[skylandmountain]

You could send all five outputs to a soundlab mini mixer & into a single amp & use different FX in each chain = result: Headfuck City!

Sign me up.... :O

[sirgavalot]

it's well worth trying to get hold of 5 amps to have a go at the full tape loop function. i've used it putting another delay in first and it creates a really nice ambient wall of sound. sounds good too uses different sounding amps too

[MrFagenabler]

must say that it makes sense if you are running through a pa system am i correct???

[LightWillIgniteUsAll]

Shoulda threw on a Big Muff, man, that sounded AWESOME.

[airmiami]

billy corgan is dead?? omg, that's so weird to find out this way! !!

[LightWillIgniteUsAll]

...He's not dead.

Who lied to you?

[FlamingCuntLips]

needs a little low end on the distortion... though total respect on the cherub rock

[Cann0nFddr17]

its so nuts to hear all the characteristic tones of each amp

when he's playing cherub rock, really wicked!

[JELmusic]

yeah, that pumpkins riff was nice to hear :) that's 1994. the first indie-cd i ever bought actually :)

great little akai box by the way.

[tifius]

This thing is just begging to be fed back into itself through an aux send... Dub crazyness

[steelyd1983]

I love how you said "why am I talking? let's play!" and then proceeded to talk for another 2 minutes...

:P

[amarr1]

That's so odd how it has 5 outputs but only 1 output

[amarr1]

1 input*

[UKJazzCat]

Brilliant. Great video. You explain this box MUCH better than the manual. I am tryin to use it for my flute. You've given me good ideas for recording.

[Lobsterdeth]

CHERUB ROCK!

[BAUTZENERBABY]

bad sound at the end...

[PiperTheGreatX]

lol, i noticed the darkness there lol

[videotape22]

Nice add of the pumpkins at the end:P

[gainaddict]

Niccee demo man

[norin02]

What an intense set of demos.
