(I have a reasonably late generation Oberheim EDP.) hmm, I find it amazing that the fact that Gibson actually took the effort to improve their product could be a reason not to buy it. You guys are hard to please! :-) Another hardware change made to the input audio path on the new echoplexes is the addition of a limiter before the loop input. It's pretty much impossible to clip the loop input now, which should make a lot of people happy. I guess that could actually be perceived as a gain difference between older and newer, because if you were engaging a limiter on one but not the other it would definitely seem like different levels even if the knobs were in the same place. also as BrotherK mentions below, two or more echoplexes will let you do multiple loops of different lengths at the same time, sync'd in ratios or not at all, controlled by just you or several people, etc. That is not possible with a single echoplex or a single repeater. >(Kim could of course sweeten the pot by announcing that the new software >is >just around the corner and that it does amazing things...) There is a software upgrade coming for the EDP, which will add a whole bunch of new features. As is our practice, we don't preannounce when it will be available or what exactly it will do. (that's suicide on this list, as electrix can attest to....) However, as with all currently unreleased products, it will do everything you can possibly imagine prior to actually shipping. At that point it will only do what it actually does. kim > >At 10:00 AM -0800 3/2/01, kamlapati.khalsa@philips.com wrote: >>Two EDPs will always be cool.
