RE: Echoplex problems



This is probably not a serious problem and is likely caused by the
tolerance on the 2 16MHz crystals drifting. They will need to be
replaced. I'm late for a meeting now, so gotta go, but I'll send more
details tomorrow,
Regards,
Andy (EDP fixer)

Subject: Echoplex problems


Hi All

Its Phill.

Ive finally had some time to sit and play with my EDP,and im having a
few 
problems I thought one of you more learned users might have come across
and 
could perhaps advise me on what to do.
the problems i had so far are (in order) are:

1. Powered on and the Loop3 text just kept scrolling past over and
over,at 
this time there was no sound coming from my guitar

2.recorded a loop with all my levels ballanced and no peaking of either
the 
input signal or the feedback, the loop played back AWFULLY distorted,
even 
though the guitar signal that was going throught the echoplex while it
was 
in play mode was clean and fine.

3.Powered up and for some reason got a number 9 that wouldnt shift on
the 
screen , could not loop or operate any functions

4.while in the middle of playing a loop i heard a brief tick,or pop
sound 
like what you get when you touch a metal pedal when holding you guitar,
the 
machine recorded the pop played it round a few times then just died.

5.another distorted freak out as described in 2.

All these have happened non concurrantly with a few uses in between each

problem that went without a hitch.

The unit has just arrived to myself this week via mail and although it
is 
not "new" it is a recent unit with loop3v5 and appears to be in good
overall 
condition.

    Im more then a little worried that this is some serious problem as i

have pretty much bankrupted myself getting the Plex and dont want to
have to 
start repairing it before the first week of use has even passed.

hope some of you will gimme the light at the end of the tunnel that i
need

Phill

yours worriedly
