Loopers:

Jon from Alto just called me to let me know they'll be offering a discount
for LD members on the long awaited EDP.

Echoplex: $640
Footpedal: $100.
(The EDP list will be something like $1100 I'm told )

According to Alto's Gibson rep,  Gibson will be shipping 40 EDP's to Alto 
in
3 to 4 weeks.  Please note, this is Gibson's word, not Jon's and certainly
not mine.  Jon will keep us updated with news as he gets it.

If you want to get on the waiting list email Jon at Alto (alto@warwick.com)
or call him at 914 692 6922.  Jon said he does NOT still have the list of
EDP buyers-in-waiting who missed one of the units from last year.  If you
were on that list, please contact Jon if you're still interested.

Note: this was an unsolicited offer from Alto.  Jon still had my phone
number from the DL4 buy I helped coordinate last Dec (which is still
generating sales according to Jon).  He called out of the blue to make this
offer.  Its rather nice to see a store like Alto supporting groups like
Looper's Delight.
