Catalinbread Belle Epoch EP-3 Tape Echo Guitar Effects Pedal

Preamp: Famous for making your guitar sound better even when the echoes are turned off. Quality of repeats: The Echoplex was not necessarily 'hi-fi'. As the echoes repeated, the signal got progressively degraded, losing low end and gaining a shiny, percussive top end with a bit of grit. Record level: There’s a control on the EP-3 that sets how hard the tape gets hit. Wow and flutter: The Belle Epoch’s modulation control was designed to simulate the daily mechanical irregularities inherent in original Echoplex units. Head drag: The original unit had a unique quality that when moving the delay time slider it took a moment to catch up to the adjustment, creating a doppler like effect.
