Jim Dunlop EP103 Echoplex Delay
The Echoplex EP-3 tape echo unit is famous for its
deliciously warm, organic modulation and sweet musical voice-a key
component to some of the most iconic guitar tones from the '70s
onward. The original EP-3 units, however, are expensive,
temperamental, and larger than a VCR.
That's where the EP103 Echoplex Delay comes in. It's the size of a
Phase 90, and it delivers the EP-3's legendary tones with a simple
control interface and a hi-fi all-analog dry path. The Delay
control sets the time between repeats-from 40 to 750ms-the Sustain
control sets the number of repeats, and the Volume control sets the
output level of your repeats.
Where the sound of this pedal really shines, though, is in Age
mode. By default, your pedal performs as a perfectly-calibrated,
factory-fresh tape echo machine would- bright and clear tape with
subtle wow and flutter modulation. A quick push of the Volume knob
lets you age the sound of your repeats, darkening the tone, upping
the tape saturation (distortion), and increasing modulation and
tape distress as you turn the knob clockwise.
The EP103's delay signal gets the same tonal conditioning that the
EP101 Echoplex Preamp provides, while the dry path is left
untouched. For the full EP-3 experience, put that secret sauce on
your dry signal by running the EP101 in front of the EP103.
The Echoplex Delay also features tap tempo functionality, for up to
4 seconds of delay time, when you hook up an M199 MXR Tap Tempo
Switch. The dry path is all analog with Constant Headroom
Technology™—providing a full 20 volts of
headroom—and a choice of true relay or trails bypass. The EP103
can be set for 100% wet mode along with stereo input and output
modes. No tape cartridges required!
