5% resistors should work fine. There's a commonly held belief that metal film resistors have better distortion characteristics in audio circuits, producing better quality audio, but personally I've never been able to hear a difference when I made such a change. Whatever improvement you get must be very subtle..... Cost difference between them is nominal, though. something like 1 cent vs 2 cents, so it doesn't hurt much to do it.... anyone who knows how to use a soldering iron and do simple electronics tech work should be able to change those resistors. Simple through-hole stuff. Did you just get your echoplex new? I'm surprised this change wasn't already done at the factory....are you sure it hasn't been? kim >This is my first time writing in, and I might as well mention that I >play, >sound process, >and loop didgeridoo.
