PLEX OWNERS: I need your help...

[The Man Himself <altruist@shoko.calarts.edu>]

All right, folks, I'd like to try an experiment, and I could use the help 
of every Echoplex user out there.

For those of you fortunate enough to have evaded the last couple of posts
from me, there seems to be a problem in my Plex with very soft signals
being suddenly and rather blatantly cut off.  Now, I've never noticed this
anomaly before, but it *is* possible that it's been there all along and
I've never noticed it before. 

So I'd like to ask any of those of you out there who are willing to do me 
a tremendous favor by trying the following experiment with your echoplex:

1) Plug a guitar directly into the Plex, then run the Plex directly 
into a monitor system/amp/mixer.  Nothing else before or after in the 
signal chain.

2) Play one note, and let it decay for as long as possible.  When you 
can't hear the note any longer, cloe the loop and begin the playback.

3) Listen very closely to the decay of the note.  Does it sound just as 
it was originally played, or is there a sudden drastic cutoff in sound 
when the decay of the note reaches a cetain point?  

Responses will help me determine whether or not there is indeed a problem 
with my unit, or if in fact Mr. Flint is correct in his assessment that 
my unit is in fact unscathed.

Any response to this query will be quite useful to me, so many thanks in
advance.  Sorry to keep clogging the bandwidth with my mid-residency
crisis,
