Allow JustPedals to introduce the Catalinbread Belle Epoch EP3 Tape Echo Emulation Pedal Black and Silver finish

The Catalinbread Belle Epoch has tape echo sounds so authentic, you’d swear there was real tape inside the pedal! Inspired by the Maestro Echoplex EP-3 model, perhaps the most famous tape delay ever, the Belle Epoch features everything Catalinbread loves about the EP-3 in a small, maintenance-free pedal format.

Controls

  • MIX: Replicates the functionality of the Echo Volume control on the EP-3 and uses the same basic passive mixer circuit.
  • REC LEV: Sets how hard the “tape” or delay line is hit. It does not affect your dry signal and only affects the initial first repeat.
  • MOD: Influences the amount of random tape “wow” and flutter effects in the echoes.
  • ECHO SUSTAIN: Affects how much delay signal is fed back to the delay line to get multiple repeats.
  • ECHO DELAY: Controls the delay time, from about 80ms all the way up to 800ms.

Under The Hood

  • Gain Trimmer: This sets the gain of the preamp. It is factory-set just above unity gain. At maximum gain, you’ll be treated with a gloriously huge fuzzy boost that sounds amazing into a cranked amp!
  • Buffer/True-Bypass Switch: From the factory, Catalinbread ship the Belle Epoch in true-bypass mode. You can use this switch to set it to “buffer” mode, to counteract treble loss when using long cable runs.

Specifications

  • Power Source: 9-18V DC
  • Current Draw: 60mA
  • Max Delay Time: ~700ms
  • Dimensions: 4.33” X 2.36” X 1.93”
  • Weight: 0.4 lbs

Delay

A delay pedal records your signal and plays it back after a set time, creating echoes that can range from tight, slapback repeats to long, atmospheric trails. It’s one of the most versatile effects, used to thicken tones, add rhythmic depth, or build spacious, ambient layers. Analogue delays offer warm, decaying repeats that blend naturally with your tone, while digital units provide pristine echoes with precise control over time, feedback, and mix levels.

From classic rockabilly and tape-style echoes to modern looping and shimmer effects, delay pedals have become essential tools for shaping sound. They can make solos soar, rhythms pulse, or transform simple chord progressions into cinematic textures. Whether used subtly to add dimension or boldly to create soundscapes, a good delay pedal can completely redefine the feel and atmosphere of your music.

Catalinbread Belle Epoch EP-3 Tape Echo Guitar Effects Pedal

Preamp: Famous for making your guitar sound better even when the echoes are turned off. Quality of repeats: The Echoplex was not necessarily 'hi-fi'. As the echoes repeated, the signal got progressively degraded, losing low end and gaining a shiny, percussive top end with a bit of grit. Record level: There’s a control on the EP-3 that sets how hard the tape gets hit. Wow and flutter: The Belle Epoch’s modulation control was designed to simulate the daily mechanical irregularities inherent in original Echoplex units. Head drag: The original unit had a unique quality that when moving the delay time slider it took a moment to catch up to the adjustment, creating a doppler like effect.

Sounds like your base tone, but sculpted to perfection by a mastering engineer Same internal circuitry as a real EP-3, from the NOS Orange Drop capacitors to the output mixer stage that acts as a rudimentary frequency selector—it’s all there We’ve taken the liberty of kicking the internal voltage all the way up to 22 volts, just like the original unit, giving you unparalleled headroom and clarity Includes a switchable hi-Z input buffer if you’d like to use the Epoch Boost as your only pedal The Boost control gives you just the EP-3 tone when rolled off, but adds up to 20dB of crystal-clear boost as you crank it

Catalinbread Belle Epoch Tape Echo, Black and Silver, (CAT BELLEEPOCH)

Has tape echo sounds so authentic you’d swear there was tape inside the pedal! Inspired by the Maestro Echoplex, EP-3 model, perhaps the most famous tape delay ever, the Belle Epoch features everything we love about the EP-3 in a small, maintenance free pedal format We felt that a “tape echo” pedal was much more than just a standard digital delay with some “filtering” on the repeats. There are a lot of subtle and not-so-subtle traits of the Echoplex that needed to be implemented in order to be authentic The preamp, the self-oscillation character, the ability to control the “record level” of the signal hitting “tape”, the wow and flutter, the way the repeats decay, the way the circuit interfaces with the amp and other pedals – all these things were important to get right The original unit was used as a musical instrument unto itself and this is what we captured with the Belle Epoch
