General

In a word, the Echoplex EP-3 tape echo effect is awesome. Sadly, it's a toy not many of us can afford. They're only available second-hand at absurdly high prices. And we haven't even gotten into the cost of maintenance. Then, Dunlop came on the scene with the EP103 Echoplex Delay. It's a Phase 90-style stomp box that has a lot to offer. The EP103 adds a very convincing, warm '60s delay to your original guitar sound (that is kept analogue, incidentally, with a lot of headroom) in the style of the original Echoplex, which means you can leave your tapes at home.

Age mode

For guitarists who prefer the instability of a characteristic old tape echo machine, Dunlop has added an especially juicy feature to the EP103, the Age mode. To activate this feature, simply push down on the volume knob. The further you turn the knob clockwise, the 'older' the sound becomes as more distortion and modulation is added. In either mode, you have a delay time of 4 to 750 milliseconds at your disposal and even as much as 4 seconds if you connect the separately available MXR M199 Tap Tempo Switch.

Wat een fantastisch ding is dit! Altijd al verliefd geweest op de Echoplex sound en dat wonder nu dus in een mooie handzame prachtige pedaal verpakking van Dunlop. Een waar genot!

Vu le prix de l'echoplex originale, son achat n'était pas envisageable.

Mais pour un prix abordable, j'arrive à un rendu très proche, j'envisage également

pour parfaire le delay, l'achat du préampli de la marque.

Plus de problème de fragilité et de maintenance de bande.

La différence sonore avec l'originale n'est sensible que par des puristes et encore.

NAMM 2016: Maintenance-Free Tape-Echo by Dunlop

Wednesday 20 January 2016 By Lizanne

Lots of guitarists out there would love to experiment with an old-school tape echo. You know, those warm, analogue 60s-70s delays, brought about by a tape recorder with all sorts of fascinating controls. Unfortunately, there are no free rides in this world. The price of a (secondhand) tape recorder, if you can find one, is often astronomical, not to mention the costs of the cartridges and maintenance. So, Dunlop launched the EP103 Echoplex.
