What you describe is definitely not right. I would think getting that hardware problem corrected on your EDPs would be the best solution. Since it is about the gain stages, there is a chance the same mods described in the EDP faq for old units will correct yours also: http://www.loopers-delight.com/tools/echoplex/FAQ6.html#Anchor-47383 If you are handy with a soldering iron you could probably do it yourself. Or better, if you are handy with an ohmmeter you could check whether the resistors in your unit match with what is described in the mod. Then you will know if you need to do the mod or not. Otherwise, you should contact Gibson's service department and get them to fix it. I believe Shane Radtke is the person you want for that. his contact info is on the LD site at the bottom of the echoplex section: http://www.loopers-delight.com/tools/echoplex/echoplex.html kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
