If you really want to be certain if your's has been properly modified or not, pop the top off and take a look at the chip in question. There's a nice diagram on the Looper's Delight site on one of the echoplex pages that shows exactly where to look. (pin 5 of U12, an ADC0804) You can do the mod yourself, assuming you are reasonably able with electronics. You just need a decent tool to get in there and cut the pin off. (judging by your past electrical gear butchery, i'm sure you can manage! :-) ) Oh, that's a void the warranty do it at your own risk sorta thing, so if anything bad happens, don't look at me! I'm sure you can get Oberheim or some authorized service place to do it too, if that makes ya happy. As far as I know, this has been taken care of on new units at the factory for the past year and a half at least. But I really don't have any way to know about things like that for sure. kim _______________________________________________________ Kim Flint 408-752-9284 Mpact Systems Engineering kflint@chromatic.com Chromatic Research http://www.chromatic.com
