Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro Plus 2000

Up for sale is a classic Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro Plus, a legendary rackmount delay and looping unit used by professional musicians and studios worldwide. serial #EDP030712412

Originally developed under Gibson, the Echoplex Digital Pro Plus builds on the legacy of the iconic Echoplex name, bringing advanced digital looping, delay, and real-time performance control into a powerful and intuitive rack format.

Known for its studio-quality sound, flexible looping capabilities, and rock-solid performance, this unit became a staple for artists seeking expressive live looping and ambient delay textures long before modern loopers became mainstream.

  Record goes straight into Overdub. Instead of hitting Record at the end of recording hit Overdub, and you’re seamlessly adding another layer.

• Multiply. Like an overdub, but you change the length of the loop. Typically the new layer is an exact multiple in length of the original. This makes it very quick to build up a complex arrangement without having meticulously play a simple backing rhythm for ages. Creatively you can also cut the loop length shorter, either to an exact division or to overdub a rhythmic part on top of sounds without definite rhythm.
• LoopCopy. Like Multiply in it’s action, but result is stored in a different loop. Gives you the opportunity to do all sorts of modifications to your loop, then jump back to the original.
• Replace. While the EDP perhaps isn’t the first device to allow you to drop in new audio to the loop, replacing the old, it’s certainly the first to present it in a way that allows easy creative usage. Replace can be configured to only happen while a switch is held down, or to neatly replaced a single beat of the loop. This allows rhythmic effects to be achieved.
• Reverse. Again this is in no way unique to the EDP, but the EDP lets you reverse the way you want. Ending a recording by hitting Reverse instead of Record takes you straight into reverse playback. Or Reverse can be delayed by a process known as Quantise so it doesn’t happen till the end of the loop, allowing the looped audio to remain in time (synced) when you return to forward play.
• Half Speed. This has the same flexibility as Reverse.
• Sync. Keep in time with other loops and sequences. The EDP has three forms

1. Midi Sync, in an out.
2. Brother Sync. a proprietary method to sync 2 or more EDPs with the Master/Slave relationship being freely selected as yopu play.
3. BeatSync. Keeps in time with an audio pulse, or just music with a strong beat. Also emits a pulse for syncing.

• Midi Control. Using programmable midi foot controller gives you access to even more functions.

That’s just a sample of what’s possible, and also note that all this flexibility doesn’t make the EDP hard to use. It’s possible to start with the simplest loop functions and gradually add new techniques at your own pace. Eventually it becomes easy to play complex arrangements.
