Re: Vortex problem

Well thank you for that Stefan... love the analogy... 
I would go with your ideas but my vortex does sem to have an odd problem, in that a "reboot" fixes the problem for a while, untill I rotate an encoder, and not always... if i leave it on a patch, no problems... the echos will never disappear... it only when I twiddle my knob... (damn that analogy)

Hmm why do you think its a leaky capacitor?

Electrolytic Capacitors on the the various power rails
are likely components to fail.
Also diodes in the power regulation, but that's more obvious
to find.

The most likely thing to fail in any electrical device is connectors, cable connectors, or IC connections. Open the box and give all connectors good sex. (You know, push'em in and out till they scream). Only if that fails smell and look for blown parts...
(Looping devices are like loopers, only if sex doesn't help you have to go to the doctor...)
