Liquidation, it seems. Sweetwater has it for $90 but you can get them on eBay for $70, new. I've always wanted to try one of these out so what the hell. The separate outputs plus a looper seems like a win.

I had one of these a few years ago. They are awesome pedals. The looper is great too!

Got it for $65 on ebay plus I'm getting $6.50 back in ebay bucks! Woot. At that price, if I like it well enough I can sell my Ditto and maybe even come out ahead.

Just realized the seller has some questionable feedback... hmm... mostly about vacuum cleaners for whatever that is worth. I guess worst case I'll get my money back.

Just got one from the Akai store on Ebay for $69.00 and free shipping.

Looks like an interesting pedal at an almost give away price.

Nabbed one of those... $65

Jumped on the EBay deal as well

$69.00-$10.00 is a steal. Hope the headroom is decent.

Aw man. I couldn't afford that.

I alway regretted selling my old one though. Probably the easiest looper I ever used, not as full featured as some of the newer ones, but lots of fun. And yeah, get 5 amps and listen to the delay pinging around the room

damnit I'd love to jump on one, oh you US guys I envy you

KT Tunstall using the Headrush as a looper. Girl has talent!

Are they filled with lead based asbestos?
Why so cheap all of a sudden?

New version coming out? Lead based asbestos is the best kind.

Could be a lot of reasons. Maybe to clear out for newer inventory, a new version, etc. They may just need to raise capital for something.
I'm pretty excited to try this out. I know it's a huge box but I do kinda have that desire to own (or at least audit) as many commercial delay pedals as I can afford. Which is ridiculous since I have already built more delays than I can ever play.
