Kim et al- This is a really unfair attack on me by saying I'm lying on this public forum without checking any facts ... please do not ~ASSUME~ that I did not contact Gibson or Mike Ayers about the status of my EDP while it has been in for repairs. I would have appreciated the consideration of checking with me first! I have spoken to Mike Ayers several times and Triple S has worked with Gibson directly as well. This EDP was not able to be repaired by Triple S (on two occasions!) and they recommended that I send it back to Gibson again. Gibson is not accepting EDP's for repairs, so I asked Triple S to ship it back to me so I could wait until Gibson is. Mike Ayers said he would try his best to get it in for warranty repair when Trace Elliot is ready ... end-of-story. I'm not saying that Triple S can't repair some EDP problems, they just couldn't fix mine. I was very patient with them while they were working on it and spoke with them on several occasions regarding the issue. Now I'm put into the position of having Gibson scold them because someone didn't check facts. They will be really happy to work on any equipment I send them in the future. Also, Kim, the first time this EDP was on the fritz, it was you who recommended having U12, the ADC0804, replaced, which was the reason I sent it back to Triple S to begin with. It seems that didn't fix the problem. No BS!

The echoplex hardware is really not that complicated and is not very difficult to repair. I contacted Gibson the other day when I saw this. They'll be in touch with Triple S on Monday, to give them some "advice". I don't think Gibson knew this sort of thing was happening (niether did I), which is why it is good to pick up your phone and tell their customer support people about this sort of thing. If the company they contract repair and warranty service to is not doing a good job, I assure you they want to know about it so they can fix the problem. kim travis said: >Four months? > >Yikes. > >I think the Echoplex only has like ten modules inside it (feel free to chime >in at any moment Kim)--does the service manual for the EDP deal with >component level repair?
