Belle Epoch

The Belle Epoch by Catalinbread is a faithful sonic recreation of the EP-3 tape echo. It is inspired by the Maestro Echoplex, EP-3 model, and features everything loved about the EP-3 in a small, maintenance-free pedal format. The pedal's technical specifications include:

- Power Source: 9-18V DC power supply (sold separately)
- Power Usage: 60mA
- Features: Internal gain pot, internal bypass type switch
- Max Delay Time: ~700ms
- True Bypass: Yes (switchable to trails mode)
- Height: 1.96"
- Width: 2.36"
- Depth: 4.33"
- Weight: 0.40 lbs

The Belle Epoch is hand-made in Portland, Oregon, USA, and offers a 3-year warranty. It captures the original unit's use as a musical instrument unto itself, aiming to replicate the preamp, self-oscillation character, control of the "record level," wow and flutter, decay of repeats, and the circuit's interface with the amp and other pedals.
