In that case, something has broken on either the Overdub jack or the BrotherSync jack of your echoplex. For some reason the tip connection inside the jack is shorting out. your options are: a) if you are a competent electronics repair technician, get out your soldering iron and multi-meter, open up the EDP, locate the problem with the jack and correct it, or b) try sticking a plug in the jack and wiggle it around a bit. maybe it will magically fix itself, although probably not permanently. or, c) call up Shane Radtke at Gibson and send the unit to him for repair. kim At 05:33 PM 6/15/2002, M.
