This choice is going to tear me apart!

Sign in to disble this ad
I'am after a good soliod delay pedal and originally i singled my choice to the Boss DD-20 giga delay. I've found one second had for $240, but just recently i started looking at a Akai Headrush E2 thats going for $299. Both units are used, which isnt a worry. Its the features and tone thats the big thing. Is it really worth spending the extra $50 on the Headrush? Also is there any threads that have a detailed comparison between the two. Do many users find use for the extra features of both, in my current band we do experiment a fair bit, and i use Delay for just about every song so that memory function on the DD-20 would be very nice.

The main feature of the headrush is that it's a kick arse looper. If you're heavily into experimentation I'd gice it a whirl. I'd also look into the new ehx memory man as suggested by mingus above-

Although if it's programmable you're interested in the line6 dm4 gives you a world of programmable madness- plus a looper.

Google ishi-bashi, you can get a brand new DD-20 shipped from this japanese site for the same price or less than the one you are looking at. I got mine there and i love it.

This is my choice as well. I have limited expirience with delay, but this unit delivers the goods, with lots of options.

Thanks guys, i'll check out that EHX pedal. It looks like its got the looping capability of the Head rush with the features of the DD-20.

Edit: wow this Memory Man has kick *** features, plus i found an ebay store that will do free shipping to Australia, defently a big plus. I'll still check out those other 2 pedals though, thanks for giving more gas guys.
