Nobody writes to a mailing list everyday and says, "Hi, everything is perfect today!" Since you often only hear from people having problems, it is easy to get the impression that everybody is having problems. That isn't the case. The unfortunate situation here is, Gibson has a brand new production line making Echoplexes. When the very first units came out of there, naturally people on the Looper's Delight list were first in line. And naturally, those first ones off the line are the ones most likely to have something wrong as the kinks are worked out of the system. And sure enough, some of the first few units out had some assembly problem and got sold to people that way. That sucks, but Gibson did jump in and put effort into fixing the production process as soon as they realized it. Subsequent units made did not have any problems so far as I know. Gibson has also been quite diligent in fixing the units for people who got bad ones. Mostly I've heard people are satisfied with things, but there are probably some who are not. Naturally, they are the ones who will post about it. :-) >so I'm wondering if there are a series of test's I can >perform to give me warm fuzzies that the thing is in working order.

Probably just using it you would know pretty quickly. I don't think you have to worry much. The guys at Trace-Elliot run a quality operation and I believe they have sorted out all of the problems they had. I'm sure they learned a few lessons along the way. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
