I've added Jerry Goldsmith to the list, though I am not sure how to give a citation for this. Goldsmith and Miles Davis are the most famous musicians for using echoplex and to leave Goldsmith out is just plain silly. Specifically, the devise itself may be best known for Goldsmith's use of it in Planet of the Apes, Patton and Alien. Gingermint ( talk) 21:14, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
On the last few edit on 2011-01-07, the section "The Echoplex Digital Pro" was entirely deleted. I think it is not reasonable, because Echoplex brand is not only for old tape echo units such as EP2, but also for digital version which is monumental on modern loop-music communities. Why was it deleted ? I'll restore the section if we could reach some agreements :) -- Clusternote ( talk) 09:38, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
Because the Gibson News thing stated some things doesn't mean they are relevant or ought to be included. You have yet to answer the specific question about how this pet product of yours (what is your interest in that looping website?), which has no connection to the subject but a brandname, has any relevance in this article. You also misrepresent what I've said: look in the article history for the words "this is what is verifiable." They are there, and they are mine.
A final remark: inviting cooperation can be done in lots of ways. Re-indenting my messages because you think they weren't done properly is not one of them. Properly reading other people's messages in which suggestions are kindly offered, that might be a good way. Drmies ( talk) 21:28, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
<-- Well, it's not an article about a brand name. It's an article about a tape delay echo, which happens to be a highly notable product. The digital version is just not that notable-- this is the most useful source I found. (This is what is called a good-faith effort toward cooperation.) Perhaps you have something on your bookshelf, some publication that's not web-accessible. Even a stub with a single reference would look a lot better than the average effect unit article, which is a crying shame--look at something like Big Muff, a great distortion pedal with, no doubt, plenty of references available. But that's beside the point. What is in the article now about the digital version, that's about all you can possibly get out of a Gibson press release, and the fact remains that it's an article about a tape delay.

Now, if you were asking why I didn't go through and delete the unverified content, there's a few answers. a. that's the entire article. b. the article is not actually poorly written, and many of the claims can be verified. c. I have nothing to replace it with. When I do, it's a different story. The Echoplex article is in pretty decent shape (it's been peer reviewed since it was a DYK). Another example: I did have something of a start at Boss DS-1, and did some cleanup and found additional references. But last night, I didn't have anything to improve Big Muff--I was just looking for an example, and you can't do everything at the same time. Does that help? Incidentally, with the Google Book search for the Big Muff, you can get to work if you wish to improve it. Drmies ( talk) 16:21, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
"Spirit" guitarist Randy California, whom I saw several times live, had some type of effects "box" that he used onstage and obviously in the studio. He (it) had the richest, most varied types of sounds and had the ability to pre-record a solo track and play against it in harmony; in effect, the very first double guitar- solo before the Allman Bros, Deep Purple etc. The first "Spirit" album was recorded in 1966, when Randy was just 15, and released in 1967. Could the Echoplex have been Randy's "box"? Dcrasno ( talk) 19:54, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
