Hi, the last time I saw Bob Fripp he had a stack of TC 2290 delays but, to my surprise, no EDPs, Jam Men or similar devices. I´ve never worked with these 2290s but they might do the "instant playback" thingie, being digital delay lines in the first place. The problem about the 2290 is, I think, that it´s hard to upgrade them to maximum memory of 64 (?) secondsbecause the upgrades are no longer available. I´m quite sure that anyone who owns a fully loaded 2290 will not part with it, neither for love nor for cash. All in all I think both units, EDP and 2290, do their job well but they were designed with different ideas in mind, the 2290 being a full-blown digital delay line with all the bells and whistles you´d expect from such a high-end device while the Echoplex was more aimed at doing the loop and phrase playback routine (I hope I´m not stepping on anybody´s toes by saying so?). There are certainly areas where both would do the same thing but at some points two roads will diverge to different directions 8).
