3 жыл бұрынDUNLOP EP103 ECHOPLEX - The Best Delay Pedal Ever Made?
The new Dunlop EP-103 Echoplex recreates the sound of the legendary Echoplex EP3, a classic Tape Echo unit used by many famous players such as Jimmy Page in Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, and Eddie Van Halen. This Echoplex pedal delivers a warm, organic sound with added modulation and perfectly recreates the musical tone of vintage tape echo units - different than digital or analogue delays.

Absolutely stellar presentation and thank you for not blasting 10 minutes of non organic annoying space music. One of the best delay videos I’ve seen and I’ve seen many. Thanks for sharing.

Alex, Thank you for twisting the knobs! So many demos talk about the range of pedals but by fiddling around with the knobs, I got a much better understanding of what the Echoplex is capable of! Superior demo video!

The best sounding live delay I ever used was a unit called the Alligator Boy by Dentone. He used the same PT digichip that has been ubiquitous for ages, but spent years honing the circuit. And he got an incredible approximation of 12AX7 tube saturation on those repeats. Cut right through the mix and was very pleasing to the ear.

Was in the market for a new delay pedal (among other things) and almost fell into the DL4 mkii or Plethora X5 rabbit holes. No exaggeration, your video steered me to this pedal and I just ordered one. PRECISELY what I was looking for. Thanks for the great vid and you just got a new sub too. 😁

I am a bassist that's now learning guitar. I am a huge tone junkie and after listening to many videos this is the cleanest and warmest of them all. I really liked walrus audio D1 but the highs were to bright and harsh. Too many of the others had a slight sci-fi sounding reverb. As the dude said, this doesn't mess with your tone. Get your tone right, put this at the end and your done.

@thealeons3179 2 жыл бұрын
Basically if you can get that type of tone out of your guitar and amplifier which I think is amazing then when you tell me that this is the best delay pedal I'm taking you very serious. Me too, I don't want all the special effects and Shimmers, I just want a great-sounding delay LOL and the same tone you have. Super great review. BTW I love how you can talk over your guitar and both are still crystal clear

Volante is the best tape delay so far for my tastes. But I also use other delays on the board as well like Adineko or Keeley ECCOS. Even my Digitech Obscura sounds really good. And I'm still trying to pick an Echoplex style pedal. This is a nice one from Dunlop!

Many of these delay pedals are great. I have found the problem with some that it screwes with the high end-like Canyon & Carbon Copy. I think it is required to get the pre amp. I went the Catlinbread with the pre amp. I wish I went tith the Echoplec & preamp.- I love analong delay much more than reverb etc.

I ran it through the front of the amp led light goes dim when not playing then when I start playing again led is full on again same thing through the effects loop not hearing any delay at first unlessI I play continuously settings medium to light delay the only way I could get to work properly was to have setup on top of amp with a one spot power supply no matter where I put it on my pedal board it didn't work right using a voodoo lab power supply 9v setting I tried the advanced settings no different any suggestions

I'm STRUGGLING right now trying to love this EP103, but the hard click switch makes a loud boom that is heard through the amp, sounds louder than my guitar playing lol. It happens maybe 1 out of 10 times i press the switch. I would keep the pedal if I was confident I could swap out the switch for a soft switch...but why should I have to do that on a brand new pedal? Anyone do this or know of a tutorial for it? thanks.
@deanallen927 Жыл бұрын
For me, the best delay would have three knobs, at least 1 sec delay time, trails and be super quiet. Sounds easy, but noise is a problem even with expensive boutique ones.
