Hi Matthias, I have owned my EDP for about a month now (although I only got to play it a couple of times before having to send it to Gibson for the "Err" problem ... Btw, Shane says it will take him at least 2 weeks to even get to it). Anyway, the EDP seems fairly easy to use up front except for a few things ... First, trying to learn the best gain structure and use of the feedback controls so that loops are built in a way that they maintain their clarity without getting all mushy. Second, learning the best way to incorporate the EDP within the overall mixing scheme such as applying effects before the loop (do we cut off reverb tails?) or after when we only have a single effects unit. Third, when you see all the commands in the EDP manual such as Quantize=On or RoundMode=Off and everyone on the loopers list refers to these functions as if they were able to change them on the fly (I assume with midi commands), the amount of possible button presses to accomlish many different things begins to greatly exceed the standard EFC buttons of "Record" "Overdub" "Multiply" "Insert" "Mute" "Undo" and "Next Loop". I know a lot of people here use the EDP for different things, but if these large number of various functions are meant to be static, I have yet to see any recommendations as to standard recommended setups, assuming that is possible. Are there any recommended standard configuration setups for the EDP? M. Steven Ginn P.S. I spoke with Shane Radtke at Gibson and according to him, they will not be getting any Loop IV chips so I guess I have to order those directly from Aurisis and install those myself when Gibson finally gets finished fixing my 2 month old EDP. ******************************** Please go to <www.SeptemberRising.org> Listen to the music.
