Faithful sonic recreation of the legendary Echoplex delay.

The Catalinbread Belle Epoch Tape Echo has tape echo sounds so authentic, you’d swear there was tape inside!

Inspired by the legendary Maestro Echoplex EP-3, the Belle Epoch features everything you love about the EP-3 in a small, maintenance-free pedal format.

The Belle Epoch delivers all the fantastic analog variations and dynamic power of the original.

It even has the discrete preamp and self-oscillation that helped make the EP-3 a legend!

The original Echiplex was used as a musical instrument unto itself and this is exactly what Catalinbread captured with the Belle Epoch!
