(understandable, if you are not paying attention to the soap opera, it's kinda hard to follow after a while. :-) He's referring to a period about a year or so ago, when Gibson produced the last batch of Oberheim branded echoplex units in the US before closing that operation and moving it all to Trace-Elliot in the UK. Those units were mostly sold through a Looper's Delight group-buy deal at Alto. Gibson since moved the whole echoplex production to their trace-elliot division, rebranded it "Gibson", and it's alive and cranking. The new units from that effort are what is getting shipped now and they are continuing to ramp production on it. Also, in regards to the quality of these new ones, I think they are top-notch now. The first batch that went out had a couple of problems, but they fixed that up right away. They are working very hard to make sure everything coming out is thoroughly tested and top-quality, and I think they are doing a great job. Matthias and I have worked with them quite a bit on this. Gotta love those British engineers. :-) kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ |
