Preamp

EP-3 Echoplex preamp stage replica with +11dB boost and FET grit.

The Dunlop EP101 Echoplex Preamp isolates the legendary front-end magic of the Echoplex EP-3 tape delay. Players like Eddie Van Halen and Eric Johnson used EP-3s primarily for this preamp coloration.

The FET input stage matches the original EP-3 circuit exactly. Gain control provides up to +11dB boost with tasteful asymmetrical clipping at higher settings. Input impedance 730K, output 55K.

True hardwire bypass. Current draw only 12mA. Works at the end of your chain as a sweetening buffer or up front as a lead boost. Phase 90-sized housing. 9V powered.
