Re: EHX Vintage issues

Well, I think that's quite enough -- Ron is a forum member too, but really has a proper job - quite technical. I'm sure he'll get back to you, but I'm honestly surprised he even took on the job - he probably didn't read this thread... After all the advice given in this thread and not heeded, there i...

Re: Harmonic Generator

GP Electronics come up quite regularly during the 1970s in Beat Instrumental , and even in the mid-60s, the pedals were being sold out of London (which is on the complete opposite side of the country from Devon). https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Beat-Instrumental-UK.htm Gerry Pope or GP/G.P.

Re: Harmonic Generator

@matthewnorthmusic -- thanks so much for chiming in! What I don't understand is -- why hasn't anyone spoken to Gerry Pope in person yet? And if somebody does, please use a voice recorder or film the interview. The amps are clearly very much legit -- but do look very 70s to me. For now, with no unit ...

Re: Heavy Spam Attacks - manual account activation [RESOLVED]

We managed to ban all signups from dodgy email addresses, but there are still the signups using Gmail or Hotmail account, which is theory could represent valid users. Email activation is active again, but I may have to switch back -- email registration is not able to hold out the AI spam accounts, a...

Heavy Spam Attacks - manual account activation [RESOLVED]

Hi all, As some might have seen (or as I hope: not) there were some fierce AI powered spam attacks that came through. There was a lot, but most of it should be deleted by now. Most of it originated from mailaccounts like targettmail.com or trendesmail.com -- so they were easily caught. For now, new ...

Stumbled across this important video about this unit and its failing ground connection -- they are relying on the case ground with a powder coated or painted case? Auch!
