Re: Setting Up my new Gibson Echoplex Pro

["L.A. Angulo" <labaloops@yahoo.com>]

Hi Todd,
First plug your instrument in channel 1 for example
then take an aux out of your mixer and plug it in your echoplexs input,
then take the output of the echoplex and connect it to any channel of the 
mixer.
Now turn the send knob of channel one where your instrument is plugged 
until you see a healthy signal coming into your EDP(green orange)
now start looping!
cheers
Luis



This way you can control the volume level of the loops and add things like 
reverb etc.
