Re: Echoplex input issues

[Laurent Brondel <laurent@megalink.net>]

mark,
the same thing is happening to one of my edp's, an oberheim one. it 
still is not working. i have called 'british audio service', the 
company that does repairs for gibson products but they have not 
returned my call, and i am getting impatient. would you have a contact 
at gibson you could forward me privately? this is driving me crazy.
best,
laurent
