Re: Electro-harmonix 16 second Delay reissue first impressions




FTR, Nothing schetchy about it. Ron has been an estabilish EH guru for 
years
and years and in fact is one of the few people who consistently repairs,
mods, and remanufactures all EH pedals including special attention to the
16 second. He even has his own external pedal board for the unit far
superior in build to the original. He's not only legit, he's one of the
best pedal specialists in the country and happened to be selling the new
EH 16 for at least $100 below any other dealer. He's also been very easy
to reach and incredibily honest in all my dealings with him over the years

He works on all sorts of other pedals (has fixed many an Ibanez or
Multivox thing for me and my friends). I won't speculate on why he asked
for the deposit but I for one was thrilled to pay him as he not only has
the best price, but I can't imagine a more deserving person. He's VERY
responsible for keeping EH stuff alive and in the know.

I think he is still taking orders for the next batch:
