Mostly, you need to understand how Undo works in the Echoplex in order to
use it to its fullest. It is a powerful feature with several options. Once
you understand it a little better, you will find it is not difficult to use
at all. Just practice it a bit, experiment some, and you will have it.  But
if you have not yet learned about such things as the differences between
short-press Undo and long-press Undo, and how the memory is used, you may
find it a little confusing.

Undo is explained reasonably in the Echoplex manual, I encourage you to
read the manual section called "Undo".

Also, this was discussed on the list just last week, you may wish to reread
those postings:
