Dissatisfied with the transistor-minded direction Maestro was taking, Battle left the company. [2] End of tape echo production and subsequent use of the brand [ edit ] Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro

The original EP-3’s echo effect has a characteristic lush, three-dimensional sound that combines delay and warm, natural-sounding reverb. Most digital emulations of this effect sound comparatively flat, but the EP103 absolutely nails the EP-3’s unique character. The Age control is the key to much of this charm, providing the perception of depth and a distinctive pitch warble that’s similar to chorus. Chords sound rich and lively, while individual notes retain body and punch. The echo effects also sound great in front of a distorted amp and maintain excellent definition and clarity.

Despite the Echoplex name, this is NOT a one knobdelay pedal! Whilst based on the original Echoplex,this pedal isactually a preamp pedal with 11dB of boost thatwarms up and rounds out your tone. It's the kind of pedal thatthat you'll soon want to leave on as part of your essential tone. Ross, Michael (1998). Getting great guitar sounds: a non-technical approach to shaping your personal sound. Hal Leonard. p.45. ISBN 978-0-7935-9140-4. The Echoplex is a tape delay effect, first made in 1959. Designed by Mike Battle, [1] the Echoplex set a standard for the effect in the 1960s—it is still regarded as "the standard by which everything else is measured." [2] It was used by some of the most notable guitar players of the era; original Echoplexes are highly sought after.

Lee "The Captain" Andertondescribes the 103 as a "make it better" pedal.Whether it's smoothing out your cleans, or giving a bit of oomph to your drive tones, the EP101 makes a difference to your tone in any situation, bringing your notes into focus and giving that magical warmth you want. Features The EP-3 is such a hard piece of kit to emulate without using massive analogue circuits just due to how much went into it. Because MXR have worked out how to not only capture the tone but expand on its capability using digital tools this pedal is incredibly small and portable. You can even add that typical aged tape warble with the Age control. 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 65ms to 750ms—the Sustain control sets the number of repeats, and the Volume control sets the output level of your repeats. In the mid-1970s Market created an upgrade to the EP-3, designated the EP-4, adding features such as an LED input meter and tone controls and dropping the sound-on-sound feature. The EP-4 has an added output buffer to help improve impedance matching with other equipment. A compressor board based on the CA3080 transconductance amplifier was added to the record circuit of both the EP-3 and EP-4 models for a short while after the EP-4 model was introduced and then the compressor board was dropped from both the EP-3 and EP-4 models. The EP-3 model was also offered for sale alongside the EP-4 model after the EP-4 was introduced. [14]

The EP 101 recreates the magical tone-shaping ability of the original echoplex by recreatingthe samesignal path complete with a Field-effect Transistor (FET) so that you get the same response. The Pedal has a single gain control knob that offers up to +11dB of boost, with light asymmetrical clipping at higher settings for some natural grit when you push it hard. https://www.waxpoetics.com/connections/new-york-djs/article/kool-dj-herc-vs-pete-dj-jones/?mc_cid=5afa698276&mc_eid=7cd2291f8e Just using the built in time control you can already get a pretty impressive 750ms delay time but when you use an optional tap tempo controller you can get a massive 4 seconds of delay time which even some of the most popular of digital delays can't achieve let along one with this epic classic modulated tone. Here's what Dumlop say about the EP103 Echoplex Delay The Echoplex wasn't notable just for the delay, but also for the sound; it is "still a classic today, and highly desirable for a range of playing styles... warm, rich, and full-bodied." [8] The delay could be turned off and the unit used as a filter, thanks to the sound of the vacuum tubes.
