Sadly, the Echoplex does not >have this feature, as I discovered last weekend. sorry Travis! I agree on that one. I think the decision for the echoplex was made for cost and liability reasons. If I recall right, there was some UL type reason for putting it inside, and of course, the slick power input jacks with the little fuse drawer cost a lot more. Actually, the best option is the self-resetting fuses, that don't require replacement after they get set off. You just disconnect the power and let it sit a minute or so after you fix whatever is causing it to blow, and the fuse resets. Those are typically used in computers and workstations these days. kim ________________________________________________________ Kim Flint 408-752-9284 Mpact System Engineering kflint@chromatic.com Chromatic Research http://www.chromatic.com
