This delay pedal lives up to the Echoplex name it proudly bears, reproducing the dark, thick, and highly musical repeats of the most coveted tape echo in rock history.
The third generation.
Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, Brian May, Andy Summers, David Gilmoursome of the greatest guitar heroes built their sound around the legendary EP-3, the famous transistor Echoplex. This massive unit was produced from 1970 to 1991, long enough to influence several generations with its tape delay signature that instantly enhances any tone. The problem is, the EP-3 is bulky, expensive on the vintage market, and has somewhat questionable reliability.
Modern times.
To help you overcome all these obstacles between you and your ideal delay sound, MXR designed the EP103 Echoplex Delay, a compact pedal typical of the brand whose circuit perfectly emulates the character of the vintage units without the usual hassles. Your dry signal passes through a high-fidelity signal path to preserve your highs, and the repeats range from 40 to 750 milliseconds, from rockabilly slapback to soaring Pink Floyd-style echoes.
Accelerated aging.
In addition to the three usual controls for delay time, feedback (number of repeats), and repeat volume, the EP103 Echoplex Delay also lets you adjust the age of your virtual tape. By default, the sound produced is that of a well-calibrated new tape with minimal wow and flutter. But you can emulate the unpredictability of a well-used tape, without the risk of it failing mid-show! All thats left is to connect an M199 Tap Tempo Switch to control your Echoplex tempo with your foot, an option that was, of course, unimaginable on the echoes of yesteryear.
This delay pedal lives up to the Echoplex name it proudly bears, reproducing the dark, thick, and highly musical repeats of the most coveted tape echo in rock history. The Echoplex Delay delivers the warm, organic sound of the legendary Echoplex EP-3 with delay times up to 750 ms. The Age control allows you to shape the repeat tone from clear and bright to progressively degrading. You can add a Tap Tempo pedal enabling up to 4 seconds between repeats and use the pedal in stereo.
