Liquidation, it seems. Sweetwater has it for $90 but you can get them on eBay for $70, new. I've always wanted to try one of these out so what the hell. The separate outputs plus a looper seems like a win.
Can't pass that up! I got earn 10 percent ebay bucks today too!

I had one of these a few years ago. They are awesome pedals. The looper is great too!
Got it for $65 on ebay plus I'm getting $6.50 back in ebay bucks! Woot. At that price, if I like it well enough I can sell my Ditto and maybe even come out ahead.
Just realized the seller has some questionable feedback... hmm... mostly about vacuum cleaners for whatever that is worth. I guess worst case I'll get my money back.
Just got one from the Akai store on Ebay for $69.00 and free shipping.

Looks like an interesting pedal at an almost give away price.

Nabbed one of those... $65
Jumped on the EBay deal as well
$69.00-$10.00 is a steal. Hope the headroom is decent.
Aw man. I couldn't afford that.
I alway regretted selling my old one though. Probably the easiest looper I ever used, not as full featured as some of the newer ones, but lots of fun. And yeah, get 5 amps and listen to the delay pinging around the room
damnit I'd love to jump on one, oh you US guys I envy you
KT Tunstall using the Headrush as a looper. Girl has talent!

Are they filled with lead based asbestos?
Why so cheap all of a sudden?

New version coming out? Lead based asbestos is the best kind.

Could be a lot of reasons. Maybe to clear out for newer inventory, a new version, etc. They may just need to raise capital for something.
I'm pretty excited to try this out. I know it's a huge box but I do kinda have that desire to own (or at least audit) as many commercial delay pedals as I can afford. Which is ridiculous since I have already built more delays than I can ever play.
I know what use I would give it....

only need to add some zero points and my multiplex to the chain to make it perfect.
Wow, that's so much delay you probably don't hear the second note until your next birthday.
Got my pedal today! Unbelievable. The guy must have lived next door and walked it over. Now to learn how to use all those knobs. :)

Awesome.
Mine arrived next week. Keep us posted how you like it.
Mine came today as well! Looks cool!
You guys are going to love these. I'm actually surprised more of you don't own one.

Or two. You never know when you will need to stick a splitter in front of them and send echoes to 10 amps...

Got the pedal yesterday and had a chance to play with it a few minutes today and it's pretty cool so far!

haha, not really :) that photo isn't mine, I only have the Eventide and it's still too much delay for me...
so, do any of you guys who have bought this thing have a review or thoughts you'd like to share?
i'm on the fence about getting one.

It's a cool box. The "Analog" type echo is interesting. It is more difficult to dial in settings that I like in the tape mode compared to my multiplex and to me the quality of the echoes still sounds really clean and I guess not as natural as say a multiplex. It's not a bad sound. I like that it has tails so I can set the feedback to where it will just start to oscillate after a while and then turn it off to let the feedback die back down. I haven't tried outputting the "tape heads" to multiple amps yet. The looper is pretty nice and straight forward, I like having the two separate footswitches for it as opposed to my Ditto looper. I've maybe played with it for an hour or so. I think it's worth it for the money and the ebay listing I bought it from accepted an offer for $60. One annoying thing with it is that when you change modes it turns off and you have to engage it again which is not really a big deal but it did have me thinking for a second "do I have the delay set really long and I just haven't heard it yet?" Another thing I like about it is that there are really long delay lengths available with the tap tempo if so desired.

I had an Eventide too for a while, did'nt cut it.... and that board does'nt cut it for me, no AD9 or DM2.... of all the stuff in there only the DMM and Replex got my attention...

My Eventide was my first pedal :o and a gift, so I try to love it :). It's not perfect, but the looper has some good capabilities and the reverse delay is chaotic (and I like that).
Don't you like the moogerfooger? That one is the first thing that grabbed my attention.
I've never tried any Moog pedals.... so that might be why it ain't crawling on me, wich to be honest, is probably a good thing.

I haven't used any Moog pedals either.
That said, their synths are great.

me neither. Those are expensive here... They look cool as hell though.
So mine arrived today and I had about 15 minutes or so to mess with it.
So far, so good. I plugged my Moog Sub Phatty directly into it and was able to get a full filter sweep with no clipping/distortion so I am impressed with the headroom. I wanted a device that would allow me to jam and get ideas without having to load up my DAW every time.
I wish it had more inputs. That said, I will just build a little switch box.
At $59 bucks (had a $10 EBay coupon), it was beyond a steal. Thing is built like a tank.
Got mine yesterday and sure is nice not to have to listen to a PT2399 for a change! It is very clean and logically set up.
I was thinking you could use a little mixer with panning to get a stereo spread of the delay heads... Who has five amps to mess around with ?
I've only had time to play with mine for a few minutes. So far it seems like a really nice pedal. I definitely have no regrets over this purchase. To get a delay with tap tempo and a looper for $69.00 is a steal.
The only down side I can see is its size if you already have a cramped pedal board.

Fixed. Add on the looper which is cool enough on its own! I have had more chance to play around with it and it is a really nice delay! As bill said, the size could be a downside. The only other downside I can think of is that you can't use delay and looping at the same time. In the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal but if you could, it would make up for the amount of pedalboard real estate it occupies, maybe I need a second unit :o ::). But again, the $65 I paid... well spent and I can probably make that back and then some selling the pedals it replaces.

exactly, just send all the outputs to a mixer and pan them the way you want in the stereo field and send a stereo out to record a stereo channel. I was just thinking about this same thing.

I too wish you could use delay on top of the loop. I guess it wouldn't be a problem if you had another delay before it that you could turn on after you have looped something.

Maybe that is part of the reason for the fire sale? While it has value for two separate effects it doesn't have as much value as two separate effects since you can only use one at a time. I wouldn't be surprised if a new one comes out that has that capability. It seems like it wouldn't be difficult or that expensive to either double the memory bank or add a second one eg one for delay and one for looping though I suppose the controls could get kind of convoluted using two effects at once...
Anyone opened it up yet? Wonder what they are using under the hood.
