Re: Boss rc-20 vs Akia Headrush



i'm not all that familiar with the akai headrush, but
you can find a slew of reviews on the rc-20  from just
the past few days.  the general consensus is that the
rc-20 is missing many key features...

i tried out an rc-20 for about a month before giving
it back and making the move to the repeater.  the main
problem with the rc-20 that i encountered was that tap
tempo can only be used for pre-recorded loops which
means that if you aren't dead on on your first try,
the loop will be unadjustable and sound out of place. 
not to mention, if you are playing with a live drummer
(you had mentioned live performing), you will have no
way of adjusting your loop...so your drummer better
have time like a machine (literally).

like i said, i'm not familiar with the headrush at
all, but the rc-20 is a fun toy, but not a very
practical device for live performance...but then
again, it always depends on  your needs...

good luck and let the list know what you come up with
in your comparisson shopping...i'd love to hear more
about the headrush.
