Re: EDP input gain

Hello there,
Donīt want to bore you with this topic but i  indeed bought one of the very
first units new not used and been through a bit of hell just to get it to
work like it should in the first place.Iīve been through it all; the unit
overheating causing red lights to go on,horrible clipping distortion even
with the input gain set low,the foot switches not working properly,problems
with midi etc. that is why i am in this site.I was ready to sell it before 
i
found this site and thanks to all of you i almost have it running
normal.What still makes me angry that the sales people where i bought it
knew about all of this but i was never told.They also knew i was living in
Europe and they said that if i needed anything oberheim in europe would 
take
care of it which isnīt true.I was just told how beautiful it is and it
certainly is, when it works properly.I havenīt done the repairs myself
because  i am not an electro technician,just a musician.So i ve had
unnecessary  extra costs as well.
I donīt believe i am running anything out of the ordinary through it. I ve
mentioned my set up previously inviting helping suggestions. All i run
through it is a GR 09 Synth, a korg A2 effector,a GP 100 and the echoplex 
is
in the effects loop of my tube amplifier.
I stopped using it live because of all of this and use the Boomerang
instead. I still believe the EDP is a work of art and  and one of this days
when the problems stop right here at home i ll dare to take it out again,
and you will probably not hear from me again. In the mean time i will
unfortunately keep bothering you with the stupid technical questions!
