It is nice to be able to call the guys desk, instead >of only reaching an answering service. I think this is a much better way to get customer support on Oberheim products. It's the way support is set up to work at Gibson. If you call the customer support people you get trained support professionals, who actually care about your problem and will work with you to fix it. If you call Oberheim, you get people concerned about whether parts are coming in on time, or the accounting, or whether a shipment is boxed up for the ups truck. Not only is your problem way down their list of priorities (because its someone else's job), they probably don't know the answer anyway. Its not that they don't care, they just don't have time for it. >Is there a service manual for the Echoplex? Sadly, we never made one. G-wiz was in start-up mode at the time, and documentation was not one of our stong points.... Techs at Oberheim may have made something at some point, but I never heard about it. ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
