Re: Boss rc-20 vs Akia Headrush
the akai was my beginner's looper/delay. i have since upgraded to the edp.
some specs: single loop time is about 23 seconds, 11.9 if you plan on
overdubbing. tap-tempo delay time is about the same. this delay works
alright if you're trying to replicate that soundscape stuff at a very basic
level. 23 seconds goes by really quickly and there's not much variance in
your loop.
for live looping, it isn't that bad. i used it for about a year and a
half.
i bought it so that i could basically replicate myself on stage without
having to get a second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth guitarist. it does
your basics pretty well, although it's noisy compared to the edp (but not
as
noisy as the boomerang).
like i said, it's not a bad toy to start out with. but it's definitely a
toy, whereas the rptr and edp are sonic weapons. if you want to get
extensive with your looping, you'll be feeling the limitations of the akai
pretty soon. that's why i got rid of mine...still not bad for 170 bucks.
hope this helps.
