FCC WARNING

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not

installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CAUTION

To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

Afin d’éviter tout risque de décharge électrique, n’ utilisez pas cette prise polarisée avec une rallonge, une prise de courant ou autre sortie á moins que les lames puissent être complétement insérées et qu’elles ne soient plus visibles.

Changes or Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This appliance is not equipped with a main power switch. Even when the appliance is turned off, the power supply to the appliance is not completely turned off when the power cord is plugged in. Pull out the adaptor when not using the appliance for long periods.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.

AVIS POUR LES ACHETEURS CANADIENS DU E2

Le présent appareil numérique n’ément pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de la Class B prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

E2 HEADRUSH Operator's Manual

Welcome

We at AKAI professional thank you for purchasing the E2 HEADRUSH pedal. E2 has the following features.

NORMAL DELAY mode

In this mode the E2 functions as an ordinary Delay Effect. The maximum delay time is 23.8 seconds, and the delay time is set by taping the TAP TEMPO footswitch to the desired tempo.

TAPE ECHO mode

This mode simulates a classic 4-head Tape Echo machine. The signal from each virtual head has its own independent output, or the signals from all head can be combined to the MIX output.

Looping Recorder mode

This mode allows you to play and record a phrase and immediately loop the playback so you can over-dub. An over-dubbed phrase is layered over with original phrase(s).

Rear Panel

1. MIX output

This output contains the effect added (wet) signal, plus the Input signal (Direct Signal). Connect this output to a Guitar Amplifier or the input of another Effect.

2. HEAD1/EFFECT

Only the delayed signal gets routed through this output when using NORMAL DELAY mode. The delayed signal of HEAD 1 gets routed through this output when using TAPE ECHO mode.

3. HEAD2-4

The delayed signal of HEAD 2-4 gets routed through this output when using TAPE ECHO mode.

Note: Outputs HEAD1-HEAD4 are only used in the TAPE ECHO mode. They are not used when in the NORMAL DELAY or Looping Recorder mode.

4. DC IN

Plug the supplied AC Adaptor in here.

5. INPUT

Plug your guitar or effect in here.

6 . LEVEL

This adjusts the level of the effect sound.

7. HF DAMP

This adjusts the amount of high frequency signal in the delay sound when using the NORMAL DELAY or TAPE ECHO modes. Turning it to the right makes the sound "muffled" to simulate a classic analog delay effect. This can not be used on LOOPING REC mode.

8. FEEDBACK

This adjusts the amount of feedback for the delay, and controls the number of repeats when using NORMAL DELAY or TAPE ECHO mode. Increasing the value increases the number of the repeats. This is only used in NORMAL DELAY or TAPE ECHO mode.
