KT Tunstall's Effects Pedals

In this video, KT Tunstall explains how she uses a loop pedal live. The Akai E2 Headrush is present from very early on in the video.

This pedal is used by Tunstall ever since her recording career began. Also, it is the integral part of her pedalboard- according to the Premier Guitar's rig rundown.

"After 15 years of using exactly the same pedal board, I am finally ripping it up and starting again. Same idea, but using the @roland_us RC30 looper plus some of their great #fx pedals with beautiful big fat pads that I can trigger without even looking down! It's just the beginning, but exciting (and scary!!) to learn new gear."
