Description
The Catalinbread Belle Epoch Deluxe is regarded as one of the best compact tape echo emulator pedals you can buy. It boasts exact EP-3 circuitry — from the 22-volt power rail to the JFET preamp (later spec), mixer stage, high-gain silicon transistor-based record/playback amplifiers, and the feedback loop.
All circuitry is faithfully reproduced and fine-tuned from the original EP-3 specifications. The only thing missing are the record and playback heads, with a 24-bit high-fidelity digital delay line taking the place of the tape. All-discrete, through-hole construction with orange drop 225P capacitors, carbon composition resistors, germanium diodes, and other premium parts.
