Re: A/B switch for Echoplex

["Doug Cox" <bickleypunk@pdq.net>]

I  use the Morley ABY box for this.  Works fine when in A *or* B only
setting, ie, pointing the footswitch at one Echoplex at a time.  When using
the A *and* B mode, Record and Overdub work simultaneously on both EDPs, 
but
above that (Multiply, Insert, Undo, etc), you get strange results.  No
worries tho, because I just "link" the EDPs via ControlSource when I want
them to work simultaneously (stereo operation).  In the linked case, I set
the Morely box to the A position, where my master EDP controls both.

The Morley box has LEDs to indicate what's what, and runs a long time on a
single 9v battery.

Hope that helps.

Doug
