Re: problem edp- next- copy sound



I have three, from three different eras of production, and the only hardware problem I've had was one of the LED segments burning out on my earliest Oberheim model.

Your Record-sometimes-acting-as-NextLoop sounds like dirt in the button or impending switch failure. Record gets used a lot, so it's going to be one of the first to go and some people have a tendency to be heavy-footed when starting their loops. The buttons are cheap and easily replaceable, the part number is in the archives. I recommend always cleaning off the footpedal after it's used in a gritty environment, such as most stages. On the old beige floorpedals you can see the dirt from your shoes accumulate over the course of a few sets.

yes the edp creates pops when i copy loops, even when controlled from front panel. does this necessarilly mean that the problem is not in the footswitch? what does reseating the chips entail (how to...)?

this seems ridiculous -- i only got mine a couple of months ago, and already i have footswitch probs (the rec button acts as next loop sometimes) and now this new (?) copy-loop pop problem. are all edps so prone to malfunctions?
