Dunlop Echoplex Preamp w/ FET Circuitry & Gain Control for up to 11dB Boost

Guitar legends from Jimmy Page to Eddie Van Halen discovered their secret weapon wasn't just in their fingers�it was in the preamp section of the legendary Echoplex® EP-3. This iconic tape echo unit became famous not only for its delay effects but for the way its front-end circuitry sweetened and conditioned guitar tone, making it an essential part of countless classic recordings.

Dunlop's EP101 Echoplex Preamp captures that legendary "secret sauce" in a compact pedal format, faithfully recreating the EP-3's front end using an authentic Field-effect Transistor (FET) and following the exact same signal path as the original. The Gain control provides up to +11dB of boost, with light asymmetrical clipping at higher settings that adds a touch of organic grit to your sound.

Built for the road in a heavy-duty Phase 90-sized enclosure, this pedal features a replica EP-3 knob, true bypass switching, and status LED. The unit runs on standard 9-volt power with built-in power management circuitry that maintains consistent headroom performance throughout the battery's life, so you can leave your precious vintage EP-3 safely at home while still accessing its legendary tone-shaping capabilities.
