Hi Manfred- That is a known issue and can easily be repaired by Gibson. there was a problem with tolerances from a particular part vendor that caused this on some units, and the fact that it was sporadic made it hard to catch in production testing. They have the problem nailed now. Getting that part replaced fixes it. They can do it for you in the UK, at the trace elliot factory where the Echoplex is made. I don't know if that is still a problem for you to ship there. You can contact them at info@trace-elliot.com. Maybe they can just send you the part if you think you can do it yourself. Or you can contact Shane Radtke <shane.radtke@gibson.com>, who runs the service center in the US. He's a good guy and very helpful. kim At 5:07 AM -0800 11/3/00, Manfred Bohnhoff wrote: >Sorry list, may I bother you with a suspected hardware problem? > >This does not seem to be covered by the FAQ as my EDP is only 1 1/2 yrs >old (loop v5.0, RAM maxed) >I recently received a hint that it might be a known issue anyway. > >So is anyone on the list able to pass me helpful information? > >It would be extremely costy to ship the device abroad for service (me >living in Germany) and slight hardware modifications should not be a >major problem to do for me. > >Problem description: >what I experience is that with the feedback control set to full >(meanwhile I hardware bypassed it which didn`t help) the playback volume >of intended infinite loops eventually decreases.
