what if one of the two guys Dave spoke to could become some kind
of focal point at Gibson ?
If he was OK to receive an email from everyone seriously wishing/planning
to buy 1 (2, 3 ...) EDPs, this guy would have a good list
of strong pending and potential orders and could demonstrate
to some "high level" people at Gibson that there are (many)
customers waiting for the machine...

Objet: RE: Latest word on Echoplex ship date ...
Sorry guys, but I can't see that date being realistic. We are not
releasing any more product out of the UK until we get paid for what we
have already shipped. 19 days does not seem quite long enough for us to
get paid, ship to the US and then distribute to the shops.
Where on earth do Gibson keep getting these dates from? I'm sure the
chap you spoke to actually believed that they would ship this month;
maybe he does know something we don't :)

Dave - This is outstanding information! I also have two echoplexes on
back order with Musicians Friend. I hope the word comes to fruition
after the 24th. I talked to Musicians Friend the other day, and if I
recall correctly, the rep mentioned having 60 something units on the
way. I'm totally jazzed. :)

Subject: Latest word on Echoplex ship date ...
I called Gibson the other day and eventually got in touch with a guy who
had some pretty solid info on the Echoplex situation. The word as of
today is that the Echoplex will ship to dealers by the end of the month.
Likely, sometime after the 24th.
Musicians Friend has a number of them on order and should receive them.
I've had one on backorder with them since early February so I'm pretty
happy about that.
I also had a pretty good conversation with the Gibson guy who is
handling the Echoplexes. He understands that there is a lot of demand
for the product and asked my opinions about a number of things. I
consider the Echoplex to be in a class of its own as far as looping
hardware goes. That seems to be the general consensus among those I've
discussed it with in the past. Though, admittedly, I have not tried most
of the other looping devices.
We discussed what features I'd like to see in future editions of the
Echoplex. My main issues had to do with the fact that it was mono and
that the footswitch malfunctions after a relatively short amount of time
and has no status lights on it.
The guy I talked to seems very interested in finding ways to improve the
Echoplex in the future. He's going to be away for a few weeks so in the
meantime I'll probably post a request for discussion of what people
would want to improve with the Echoplex Digital Pro. Maybe we can have
some input ( no pun intended ) on the future development of this
indespensible tool.
