I'll take your word for it.  This isn't the first time I've heard about 
people running into trouble with Gibson; I recall Allan Holsdworth saying 
that the main reason he stopped using Steinbergers was that he had 
trouble communicating with the company once they became a part of 
Gibson.  (Sound familiar?!?!)

BTW, I got an insurance quote for my Echoplex yesterday, and you all may 
be interested to know that the official retail price has dropped about 
$100 from where it used to be; the plex now lists for $799.  (The 
footpedal is still $100).
