EDP odd behavior (and hello)



Hi.  My name is Brian Brock.  I've been looping for 10 years or so, I
occasionally perform with my Echoplex, which I love.  I use it as an
accompaniment device, as a composition tool, and as a maker of ambient
or foreground noises.

Anyway, I notice this odd behaviour.  Sometimes, on the footpedal, the
mute, insert, or undo button will cause a multiply, overdub, or insert
(only a problem with mute and undo!).  I almost want to believe that
since I've been using insert more recently, it has been acting more
normal.  I've recently come to suspect that the problem is worse when
moreloops>1, which strikes me as truly odd.  I've opened up the
footpedal and tested the resistances when pushing the buttons, and
everything seems normal; I've opened up the EDP and tested a couple of
easily accessed capacitors to see if they'd drifted from spec - normal.

So is this a common issue?  Is there anyone near Madison, Wisconsin who
can repair it?  Do I just need to clean the footpedal jack on the EDP? 
Thanks.

p.s. I would really appreciate it if replies could be CC'd to me, as I
have trouble keeping up with all the information on the list.

Thanks,

Brian
