CHASE TONE SECRET PREAMP

The CHASE TONE SECRET PREAMP by Chase Tone is a vintage-accurate, 1970s Solid State Maestro Echoplex preamp with 'Bright' early EP3, 'Dark' later EP3, and 'MID' hybrid-capture EQ. It is designed to provide increased harmonic complexity and touch sensitivity, making it ideal for unity gain or slight boost. The pedal features automatic vintage EP3 22V+ power, with internal circuitry that ramps 9VDC to 26VDC and then regulates and filters at 22VDC vintage EP3 power. The volume control is wired just like an original EP3 for amazing versatility, with settings for no signal, unity gain, and maximum output boost. The pedal also includes a Chase Tone exclusive 3-way EQ 1970s era EP3 mini-toggle switch, allowing users to select between 'Bright', 'Dark', and 'Mid' settings. The components used in the pedal include vintage 1970s JFET cherry-picked to cream-of-the-crop specs, new production accurate vintage spec aged carbon film resistors, and new production accurate vintage spec Orange Drop 225P film & foil polyester capacitors. The pedal is housed in a high-quality 1970s style aluminum enclosure measuring 4” Long x 2.4” Wide x 1.5” High, making it suitable for fitting on virtually any pedal board. The rear mount jacks are hand-wired for ultimate on-the-road reliability. The pedal requires a standard 9VDC power supply or battery with center negative polarity and a 150mA current.
