Dunlop MXR EP103 Echoplex Delay Pedal EP-3
I have performed for 50 years as a singer, guitarist and sound engineer. I have owned EP Echoplexes, Roland Space echoes, Univox tape echos, Binson and old Fender Oil can echo units, Butler Stereo Digital delays, and many other analog and digital types of delay units and still do. Many have specific uses and applications - all that I've owned, I know well. The Dunlop EP103 Echoplex Delay Pedal pretty much nails the old EP-03 sounds without the hassle of running tape nor the associated noise levels that develop over the years from older 'nutz & gutz'. The 4 second delay - Tap Tempo and EP 103 "Aged Tape" option settings are all very nice. It does a very good job replicating the aged tape sounds. If you are an absoulte purist, buy an old and probably beat EP unit, but be sure you'll have many maintenance hassles that are part and parcle to that beast. If you want a great way to reproduce most all the sounds and textures the old EP units produced, in a hassle-free, very small footprint unit that is very mobile (pedalboard) - this is your device! BONUS: you won't be paying the ridiculous prices of a vintage machine, either. Worth it? You'll need to judge for yourself. Having owned 'em all at one time or another, this is an exceptional addition to my sonic arsenal. I don't gig without it. Wish I had it in the 60's ... Yes, I remember the 60's and I WAS there! LOL!
