Re: Headrush vs. DL4

[Martin Shellard <martins@pwdu.demon.co.uk>]

I have both and there's no contest imo the DL-4 wins hands down.
Yes the Akai can delete all except the first pass but the DL-4 has much
longer loop time (28 secs max. with o/dub) Akai has 11 secs with O/dub, the
DL-4 does 1/2 speed rec/playback and reverse plus it has some cool delays
including one before the looper. The Akai just loops, nothing else.
Also DL-4 has extensive pedal control.
You will tire of the Akai very quickly, it's a one-trick box and not a very
good trick at that. The DL-4 is great value and will keep you playing 
longer
plus it sounds better.
