RE: Akai Headrush Questions
I 
don't know why it tells you to tap the right button twice, must be an  
error in the E2 manual.  Pressing it twice (without pressing the left 
button) should begin the recording phase over.  After you press the left 
button, pressing the right one will put into overdub mode (which is 
infinite).  Double clicking the right button after you have overdubbed, 
will erase everything except the original recording.  To start all 
over you have to click the left button to "stop" the playback, then you can 
start recording with the right button again.  I had tons of fun with my 
Headrush, and I think it is a great looper to get started on, every simple 
interface.  But it does have some serious limitations.  I know 
the manual isn't much help, but for looping purposes (not all the delay stuff), 
there really isn't much to it.  
 
BTW 
....What made it a "blem?"

  Hi, 
Just got an allegedly new Headrush from Musician's 
  Friend and it's a blem: they quickly corrected the mistake monetarily (thank 
  you MF) but I'm not sure if it's working correctly. 
It says to tap the 
  right button to begin recording and to tap it again to end recording, which 
  doesn't work. The allegedly recorded part does not begin to loop. 
The 
  only way I can get a loop to record and then loop is if I tap the right 
  button, play the riff and then tap the left button, bypassing tapping the 
  right button the recommended second time. 
The manual is terse at best 
  (there's got to be a middle ground between 4 and 200 pages like my last guitar 
  toy had....). 
And is there a way to erase everything and start like 
  new - something like a reset button? 
Any advice is appreciated!! The 
  pedal looks like a keeper and I'd like to figure out how to work the darn 
  thing.
