RE: EDP Input (was: Re: Next loop copy question)

It's probably just where the knobs have been put onto the pots. This is 
done
by eye, as there are no 'flats' on the pots. Check to see if the knobs on
both units are in exactly the same position when at zero. If they are not,
just pull one set off and align with the other unit.
The resistors used in the Gibson EDPs are 1% tolerance, unlike all previous
manufacture that used 5% tolerance so there should be very little 
difference
in input/output sensitivity between any that were made in the UK.
I mentioned before that a UK customer brought in a '95 Oberheim and a '01
Gibson EDP as they had vastly different input signals, (I'm talking nearly
90 degrees). Turned out to be wrong value pots in the original '95 unit and
this went unnoticed until he bought a second unit years later. I've only
seen this problem with one unit, but there maybe more, circa 1995.

i keep my new gibson edp's input no higher than 11:00 and the output is
about 5:00.  what's odd is that the units are relatively the same age (both
gibsons bought new from altomusic within 4 months of each other) and they
both receive identical signals but one is just a touch more sensitive.  
it's
not a problem at all, but i wonder about the consistency of the units.
