Re: EDP FOOT CONTROLLER

[Bret <echoplex@yahoo.com>]

LA,
This is not Kim here, but I've built my own footpedals
for the edp and understand them a bit.  

First, determine if this only occurs with the
footpedal, or with the face panel buttons as well.  

If it only occurs with the footpedal, then suspect
either the  cable you are using (edp to footpedal
cable), or the footpedal itself.

Mute should be a 2.87k ohm load to the edp footpedal
input.  Reverse (insert) is 4.75k ohms, and multiply
is 7.87 k ohms.  So, if there is a LOT of intermittant
resistance in your cable, or on it's phone plugs
surfaces, or if there is a lot of resistance in the
MUTE switch itself, you could see these selected when
you hit mute.  

Are you in a Very dry climate?  Do you have a lot of
static where you are using the edp?  If so, static
discharge to the footpedal (when you try to press a
button) can create unpredictable results.  If so,
write me back, or look up on the LD website for Kim's
fix for this.

If the problem occurs with the front panel buttons
also, then clearly the footpedal and cable are not
involved, and I cannot speculate on the root cause.
