the mod to fix that has been recommended for about five years now Todd, 
that's a lot of procrastinating! :-)  It is easy to do if you know how to 
solder (or know somebody who knows how). It just requires changing two 
resistor values. It's explained in the Echoplex FAQ at Looper's Delight:

so people aren't not confused, this problem was fixed in production 
echoplexes as of late 1997.
