Members Headlow Posted March 8, 2007 Members Share Posted March 8, 2007 The delays are indeed good. The digital delay is awesome for tapping in a really long loop and setting the feedback so that each delay hangs around for a while but slowly fades out. You can really create some amazing textures with it, especially if you have another delay before it.Havent tried that yet, but I will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wilbo26 Posted March 8, 2007 Members Share Posted March 8, 2007 Just out of interest, have you tried the E2? Briefly. Seemed like the same thing as the E1 but with the option for more delay time. And its blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wilbo26 Posted March 8, 2007 Members Share Posted March 8, 2007 Headrush vs. DL4 Looper?What are the advantages to using the headrush instead of the DL4? Well the DL-4 doesn't have the option to undo overdubs and start from scratch with the original loop, but it has 1/2 time and reverse which the headrush does not, and you can have loops with overdubs that are longer than the Headrush is capable of. Both are great basic and intuitive loopers. If I had to buy one again it would most likely come down to which one I could find used for the cheapest.

Members Tommy Horchata Posted March 8, 2007 Members Share Posted March 8, 2007 OK..... I've been using the DL4 as a looper since I got my DMM and don't need the delays any more. Sometimes I'd like to do loops that are longer than 32 seconds though. How long is the time on the headrush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the E2 version and I can get 23 seconds (I think), although if you wanna do overdubs it cuts the time in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members backline Posted March 8, 2007 Members Share Posted March 8, 2007 Maybe a stupid question, but would that require playing all 8th notes or something? No, it recognizes any audio 'event' such as any note or chord you play. It closes the loop by timing it to that note or chord, not to when you press a footswitch or a click-track beat. You can also use it like a standard looper and time it to a footswitch press if you don't want to close the loop with a note or chord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nrvana8775 Posted March 15, 2007 Members Share Posted March 15, 2007 I just bought an e2 on ebay, I'm going to be using that with my analog man dd5. Ahhh, can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
