Re: Gibson Echoplex trouble



Another thing my customer pointed:

And also, something else to note...The various instruments i have running through the loop, all come out at different volumes (some not the same volume level as when i looped them) some are louder, some are softer....There's no real balance...Wondering if that is a problem with the loop...

Keep in mind...im asking all these ?'s to not only fix the echoplex, but i'm a traveling musician...and don't want these problems happening on the road or at a show...

I recall something like that happening once, im not sure but it might
be in delay mode try puting it in loop mode and rotating the feedback
knob
good luck

Hey Keith,

We got the echoplex to work, but the volume is decreasing by itself, for
whatever reason. He's running it through a mixer>pa, and the loop just kept
decreasing in volume as it played over. Any suggestions?

Keith,

How do you reset it? I never made the attempt to reset it when I owned it,
so I am unsure how to tell him how to reset it. Would it say in the Echoplex
manuel?

If a reset doesn't work, I d suggest you unplug and take the top off.
Carefully, raise the two Loop Chips (the big ones), up about 2 or 3 mm and
then re-seat them. this may help if the contacts have become oxidized.

Hey,

I recently sold my Gibson Echoplex to a seller, but he seems to be
coming across problems with it that I am having a hard time troubleshooting.
The problem sounds very similar to when I first purchased it. This is what
he has told me.

*There are 4 buttons lit up on the front of it, and pressing them won't
do anything. There's also nothing on the LED display.

*To be specific, the Ins/Rev, Mute, Undo, and Next Loop are all lit up
with a yellow light... I can control all of my instruments through
it....just can't loop anything or press anything to change the buttons..?

*But every time i turn it on....the mute button is either red....and a
bunch of green and red "e"s on the display screen. Trying to press all the
buttons, and all of them are unresponsive.

*Every time i turn on/off...a different screen comes up, and different
lights/letters are on.

*Alright. I have been messing around with it all day, still no
luck....Every time i turn it on and off, different lights come on, and the
LED screen is different each time. Frustrating to say the least

If there is anyone who might be able to help or they know someone who
can help, please let them know.
