I've used their Delay/looper 'Headrush' pedal for years and it's always worked and sounded fantastic. The only drawback is it's really big (takes up a lot of pdlbrd space).
Which one are you talking about? The 'Deluxe' Distortion? It sounds good in this vid ... http://www.akaipro.com/deluxedistortion -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

It does sound pretty good especially for the price  QUOTE (Gabriel Leopardi @ Apr 22 2013, 02:28 AM) I haven't tried Akai pedals but I have two Joyo (vintage overdrive & vintage phaser)and I really recommend these ones: http://www.joyoaudio.com/en/home/index.php PS: That akai distortion pedal looks really cool.

You may not have heard this yet, but many of the AKAI Pedals are actually "Rebranded" JOYO or BIYANG pedals. It seems that it's cheaper to simply repaint/redesign etc. The good news is, in many cases they are the same exact pedal but for a lot less becuase it says JOYO instead of AKAI.
Here is a link to a thread with some pix and info. http://ilovefuzz.com/viewtopic.php?f=149&t=17985 Here is a pic of one of the AKAI distortions that is the same pedal as one of the chinese versions but more expensive. Bottom line, by a Joyo or such and save some cash  QUOTE (liveOASISforever @ Apr 21 2013, 03:51 AM) Has anyone used Akai pedals before. I seen a review in a magazine a while back with a Akai distortion pedal that got a really good review. There selling online from £40 to £60. I f you have used them whats you're thoughts. Pedals are pretty expensive it would be nice know if anyone has tried out cheaper range pedals and was really surprised how good they were. Thanks Sean |

Those Akai Dist boxes - the actual box - look exactly (other than the paint job) like my Biyang 'Mouse' ... which was $39.00.
