Charlie Hall sent me an Alesis Q20 with EFTP patches many years ago. Because I had several other echo machines since, I set it aside and hasn’t used it in more than a decade. Out of curiosity, I tried it today and was surprised it still worked. It sounds good, actually.
I recall that Charlie told me there was a battery that needed periodic replacement. If they died, the patches will disappear. Did I remember correctly? Is it easy to replace the battery? Thee Q20 manual warns of high voltages inside the unit. Will taking out the old battery to replace it erase the patches?
I’ll appreciate advice please. I’ve lost Charlie’s contact information and would appreciate that too
Many thanks, and best wishes for the New Year,
Andy
