I am considering "switching" from my Jam man to an
EDP. But I have a couple of questions first, and was wondering if anyone
could help with answering these. Here they are:
1. Do EDP users find that the machine is
reliable? Does the footpedal give people any problems? How about the
unit itself?
2. Does it make a difference in terms of
reliability whether I purchase an older model (pre Loop III v5.0 upgrade) or a
newer model with the upgrade pre-installed?
3. If I purchase an older one, how easy and
problem-free is it to install the upgrade? And how do I install it, or do
I have to have it done by Oberheim? Is the upgrade worth it?
4. In terms of comparing reliability of the
unit (i.e. breakage / malfunction issues) does anyone have a basis for comparing
the Jamman with the EDP?
5. I am aware that performance-wise, the EDP
appears to have more options than the Jam man. If that's the case then why
do "tried and true" Jam man users stick with the Jam man? Is it because of
reliability / bug-free issues or are there hidden performance advantages to the
Jam man that don't appear readily on the surface?
OK, there are the few starting questions I have at
this point......
Oh yeah, one more.......if faced with the choice of
a brand new EDP with basic memory and Loop III installed, or an older one in
mint condition with full memory and no Loop III, for a difference of 200-300
dollars, is the extra money for the new one and then the additional cost of
memory "worth it" in terms of what you get with the new unit (i.e. technology /
development-wise)?
Thanks a lot
