Re: Newbie EDP Question

Those knobs can be really dodgy. Nice that you got it sorted. But I'd work those params via MIDI controller instead, on both units... may find a reset is not needed at all :)

Would a unit reset be a good idea anyway, since I got the unit used? It was advertised as being in mint condition, and cosmetically it is. But maybe a reset would be a good idea to clear out any settings that the prior owner made that I'm not aware of?

Or, let's put it differently. Is there any drawback to doing a reset?

I think I sorted out my problem, though. It might have been a feedback knob issue. After I made sure the Parameter/Record setting was LOP, I didn't set the feedback knob to 100%. I left it where it had been previously, which was maybe 60% or so. Now my first loop seems to maintain its volume and not diminish at all.

Here's the thing, though. I have another EDP just like this one, and the feedback knob on it is not set to 100%, but the loop volume remains constant.

Maybe I should do factory resets on both units and start from scratch?

Thanks,
