RE: new to LD - advice please

["Andy Ewen" <andy.ewen@btinternet.com>]

Every Echoplex is tested for decay at 100% Feedback , for 24 hours before
leaving the factory. This is with three layers of Overdub, but Overdub is
switched off for the 24hours as Rik is correct in the reduced FB when in OD
mode. We figured that would be enough for anyone, but I left one looping 
for
a week once and my incredibly bad bass playing sounded exactly the same at
the end of the week :)

If you use 100% feedback, you're signal will cycle forever, as near as I 
can
tell.   I've checked on mine after having it run for several days and there
was no degradation at all.    However, when you're in overdub mode, 
feedback
drops automatically to something like 95% to avoid excessive buildup of
gain.
