Re: echoplex digital pro no longer supported by gibson?!?!?



The thing to be careful about is static charges which can break chips.

So:

Disconnect the unit from power. (Unplug it: important!)

Open it.

Connect yourself to the metal casing using a grounding strap (http:// 
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_bracelet or http://www.geeks.com/ 
imageshare/W/300x300/WRISTSTRAP-unit.jpg).

You'll easily spot the chips that are in a socket: those are the  
potential victims (or culprits).
Gently press them down into the socket. Careful with the circuit board!

Maybe others who've done it could chime in?
