Hi Rick, Congratulations buddy! is funny that you talk about calabash music they are marketing our CD now and they seem to be serious about their business. Say Rick, can you please explain how you feed the repeater into the EDP and viceversa? If you record something in stereo into the repeater send it to the EDP and back then you the stereo signal is killed,no? i am just learning about setting up my equipmet with a mixer and it sounds interesting what you are doing.
