Re: The Legendary Electro-Harmonix 16 Second Delay



Welcome to the list.  A little while ago we decided that nothing came 
close to this little box.  Alas, I don't think there's been any talk of 
a reissue that I know of, and they still seem to fetch high prices if 
you can find a working one.

If you go to the Loopers Delight site and do an archive search, I'm sure 
you'll find volumes on the subject.

In other news, Electrix has folded taking what I think was the only 
stereo looping hardware, the Repeater, along with it.  Gibson still is 
producing the Echoplex Digital Pro, and Line 6 has just announced a 
massive price drop on it's Pro Delay modeler.

It's a jungle out there.
