Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I truly believe that you may have rec'd a rare unit in which something
is seriously wrong at the core level- deeper than the surface problems
that you have dealt with might indicate. I happens with occassionally
all gear. I have had an XL7 for about 18 months - use it constantly -
haul it out to gigs etc - never a single problem and the thing is
built like a tank. It is seriously (I think) a crowning achievement
evolved fromthe Emu module family. I would appeal to the higher ups at
Emu to look carefully at your purchase/registration and repair history
- perhaps that will acheive a positive resolve - but obviously this is
just a suggestion from a civilian - I am not an Emu employee and I
have no inlfuence with Emu.

Good luck!

and best regards

Ed
