The original Echoplex EP-3 is an incredible delay system that is loved not only for its delay but its preamp tone. MXR have taken it as a challenge to bring that delay in to a small digital pedal that can easily be put on to any pedalboard. The EP103 delay is the result and it sounds absolutely stunning.

Analogue Response

Making a digital version of a previously very analogue piece of gear is always quite tricky. This is because you need to not only match the tone but also the feel and response of the original. MXR have acomplished this by using a 100% analogue dry path as well as a high quality digital path for your wet signal. This means that the original guitar sound is not tampered with and responds as normal while the digital effect just adds layers.

Realistic Digital Reproduction

The EP-3 is such a hard piece of kit to emulate without using massive analogue circuits just due to how much went into it. Because MXR have worked out how to not only capture the tone but expand on its capability using digital tools this pedal is incredibly small and portable. You can even add that typical aged tape warble with the Age control.

Delay Time, Tap Tempo

Just using the built in time control you can already get a pretty impressive 750ms delay time but when you use an optional tap tempo controller you can get a massive 4 seconds of delay time which even some of the most popular of digital delays can’t achieve let along one with this epic classic modulated tone.

Here’s what Dumlop say about the EP103 Echoplex Delay

The Echoplex Delay delivers the legendary Echoplex EP-3’s warm, organic
modulation with 750ms of delay time and an Age control to shape the sound of your repeats, from clear and shimmering to saturated and distressed. Features stereo and tap tempo capability, with up to 4 seconds of delay time, and a hi-fi all-analog dry path.

Delay Pedals

Delay pedals repeat the input after a chosen time. Feedback controls how many repeats continue, while mix, filtering, modulation and headroom decide whether those repeats sound clean, tape-like, analogue, degraded or deliberately unstable. Tap tempo can translate a foot-tapped pulse into repeat timing, and some digital units add presets, subdivisions, looping or MIDI. A delay before distortion creates a different texture from one after it, so position matters as much as the effect type. Check maximum time, spillover, stereo routing and whether the dry signal remains at unity level.

Tags

Analogue

Uses continuous analogue circuitry for some or all of the audio path, so clipping, filtering or modulation arises from physical components rather than sampled algorithms. Check the exact signal path.

Digital

Uses digital conversion and processing to create, store or control the effect. This can provide presets, complex routing and repeatable algorithms, but latency, conversion and power requirements depend on the design.

DIY Kit

Supplies the enclosure, circuit board and components for assembling an effects pedal yourself. It normally requires soldering, testing and basic electronics work; the included instructions determine the difficulty.

Tap Tempo

Measures repeated foot taps and converts their interval into an effect rate or delay time. Subdivisions translate that pulse into dotted, triplet or other rhythmic values, while averaging and range limits influence how quickly and accurately the tempo settles.
