10. HISTORY The inspiration for the delay pedals with wireless controller came to guitar player and inventor Rune Aalberg Alstad back in 2009, when he was tired of having to run over to the pedals and bend down all the time to change the effect settings. In 2012 he met the engineer Torkild Indstøy and the entrepreneur Aleksander Torstensen, and five years later, after lots of testing and prototyping we are proud to introduce the world’s first EKKO EK-1 Delay Pedal with the AERO AE-1 Wireless Controller.
