Quoting Looping9string@aol.com: > It seems that some people will always just be dissatisfied, just for the >sake > of being dissatisfied! i'm sorry if i came off that way. my primary instrument is an Hammond C-2 organ, which even has a tube preamp. with the addition of the Trek II percussion head unit, it is the state of the art tonewheel organ, even having been made in 1953. my original complaint has more to do with the excessive price of the EDP than the technology itself. staying with the Motorola 68040 is not a bad idea, seeing as you could pave your driveway with them as cheap as they are now. when the Echoplex was new, the 68040 was significantly more expensive than it is now. it was the top of the line processor for the Apple Macintosh. it obviously does not cost nearly that much now, and there are other chips which can run the same code-base available cheaply as well. i'm sure one of them could be throttled down to whatever multiple of 44.1khz which the code requires to allow the use of a digital input. i didn't mean to start any bad blood here, i was just pointing out that the price of the EDP was inappropriate for the situation it's in. and, that if the reasons i was given as to why it was so expensive were true then we would be faced with an upwardly increasing cost for additional units as time went on. at this current rate of EDP price growth, we're looking at a $1500 39khz mono unbalanced looper by the year 2007 or so. i don't think Gibson will be selling many when that happens. happy looping, please! --- Eric Williamson www.suitandtieguy.com ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/
