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. (Below you can see the different development stages (from left to right): “
