Re: EDP and a BIG burst of static/hiss



I had a problem something like this when I first bought my EDP. I sent it
back to Gibson, and they said it was the memory, but they chose not to
replace it ! When it was returned, I opened it up and found that one of the
regulators was hot enough to burn eggs on, and if I used a fan to cool it
off, the Howling sound it would produce every now and then would go away.
So, I bought a small heatsink and attached it onto the regulator, and the
box has worked fine ever since....
