Not sure what the situation is currently, but back in January when we were
recording our album, I was having trouble with my out-of-warranty
Echoplex. Pat Murphy was great. He ended up having it repaired free of
charge and threw in a ROM upgrade to the latest version of the loop
software AT NO COST and got it back to me in time to finish recording the
album. So, my experience is that the folks working at Oberheim *DO* "give 
a shit about our frustrations". Chill out man.

In response to Doug's original post. I know it may sound like a simple
thing, but does this weirdness occur if you try operating the 'plex
without plugging in the foot controller. As I myself have experienced, bad
or improperly shielded cables from the controller to the rack can cause
the things you have described to randomly occur.
