Catalinbread Belle Epoch EP-3 Tape Echo Pedal in Black & Silver

Description

The Catalinbread Belle Epoch has tape echo sounds so authentic, you’d swear there was real tape inside the pedal! Inspired by the Maestro EchoplexEP-3 model, perhaps the most famous tape delay ever, the Belle Epoch features everything Catalinbread loves about the EP-3 in a small, maintenance-free pedal format.ControlsMIX:Replicates the functionality of the Echo Volume control on the EP-3 and uses the same basic passive mixer circuit.REC LEV:Sets how hard the “tape”or delay line is hit. It does not affect your dry signal and only affects the initial first repeat.MOD:Influences the amount of random tape “wow” and flutter effects in the echoes.ECHO SUSTAIN:Affects how much delay signal is fed back to the delay line to get multiple repeats.ECHO DELAY:Controls the delay time, from about 80ms all the way up to 800ms.Under The HoodGain Trimmer:This sets the gain of the preamp. It is factory-set just above unity gain. At maximum gain, you’ll be treated with a gloriously huge fuzzy boost that sounds amazing into a cranked amp!Buffer/True-Bypass Switch:From the factory, Catalinbreadship the Belle Epoch in true-bypass mode. You can use this switch to set it to “buffer”mode, to counteract treble loss when usinglong cable runs.SpecificationsPower Source: 9-18V DCCurrent Draw: 60mAMax Delay Time: ~700msDimensions: 4.33” X 2.36” X 1.93”Weight: 0.4 lbsCatalinbread Belle Epoch EP-3 Tape Echo Pedal in Black & Silver
