My EDPs happen to be older ones and are a just bit heat sensitive on hot 
summer
days out in the garage/studio. No problem in Fall/Winter/Spring when it's 
cool. 
But, when the temps outside reach the mid 90s (and mid 80s in the studio) 
my 
loopers start messing up after only 2 or 3 hours of play. Buttons pressed 
on the footpedal yield crazy commands (other than the ones intended). 

I've got spaces between mine in the rack for cooling . . . and this HAS 
made 
it better (so my answer to your question is YES). But it still happens 
pretty 
regularly anyway this time of year. Good thing I hardly ever play longer 
than 
that at a gig anyway. I sure hope the Santa Cruz venue is air conditioned
BTW . . . :-)

Best,

Ted
