The more recent versions labeled "Gibson" are identical to the the previous "oberheim" ones, except for the logo. The LoopIIIv5.0 software in the gibson ones is the same software that has been shipping in the echoplex for years. It's all in the echoplex FAQ on the LD site. The upcoming Gibson Echoplexes that should be coming out in a few weeks actually do have some very minor hardware changes. We added a limiter to the input so people can't overdrive it and clip the digital path to the loop, and fixed up some old hardware bugs.

However, even >the software in your Gibson echoplex will be upgraded in due time (are >we there yet, Kim?) almost. You need to harass Matthias about that. :-) >In one of the adds you also mention the 'extra ROM is at another $100 >at least'. I think you mean to say RAM instead of ROM. neither one costs anywhere close to $100. 4MB simms cost about $5 each. We sell the 5.0 update for $45, but I think everybody must have it by now because we never get orders anymore. >In a way I hope people start believing that the oberheim echoplex are >'plagued with software problems' so I can buy more Oberheims, at a >lower price than the super, duper Gibson echoplex.
