is 1.1 seconds of delay enough for most things? or no?

i think i'll pass on any of those, my guess is they will be overpriced... and with what we know of nukai's crap components, build quality, and cheap grade of components these days.... I think I would avoid a product you step on if it's made by them.

It depends on what you're using it for. For things like vocals you may need a delay line with maybe 2 secs, but you probably wouldn't use a pedal for that. It should be enough for most things though, yeah. As a reference, at 120BPM it would cover a little over a half a bar of music in 4/4 time.

If any one of these creates an unique noise, sure I'm interested. I'm not generally into pedals though, so it's probably not for me.

Its funny. There has been (superior?) alternatives from different manufacturers for years, but when they put "akai" logo on those products, people on the forums go nuts. :lol:

i would like to try those pedals...
i'm using some boss pedals (digital delay dd1, super chorus), a vox overdrive (valve tone, with tube), a cry baby wah-wah and a dunlop fuzz unit (Jimi Hendrix system)
usually i use the fx with my digital synth to warm up and distort the sound, but the boss pedals are a bit noisy
i need a noise gate or a thing like "the source"

Thanks for sharing. I can definitely use one of them. 8)

2 months ago i saw an australian punk band, The Heirs, that used the source on stage to feed their fx pedals, and the sound of the guitars was really clean...
they tell me about that thing
they also use it on tour to watch the tv on the van! crazy

Yeah I really like the idea that I can use anything that takes 9 volts. I'd definitely use it for my x0xb0x. :idea:
