Re: Echoplex Issues



I bought a brand new Echoplex early this year and had similar problems where the buttons get crosswired and perform incorrect functions.  I tracked it down to an overheating issue.  The switch circuit board is located right next to the power transformer and when it heats up, the unit goes haywire.  Sucks.  If I rack it, it needs a space above it but that still doesn't garantee an error free machine.  Just a hot day is enough for the edp to play up making live gigs close to unusable.  When I do perform live, I use my Repeater in conjunction with the edp.  One, because I love the combination of both loopers and two, as a backup looper if the edp goes haywire. 

Anyone have a fix for this?  All I can think of is drill vents in the case and/or install a fan somehow??  I don't think moving the board is an option.  Maybe the power supply??

I love the edp but am very dissapointed by it's reliability.
