Catalinbread Belle Epoch delay effects pedal
Product no: 9000-0020-5403 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

With the Belle Epoch, Catalinbread have faithfully recreated the legendary Echoplex EP-3 tape echo, including the preamp. Even all-rounder and gear nut Eric Johnson was impressed with the sounds of the Belle Epoch. This echo pedal sounds so authentic, you would almost think there actually is a tape in it! The stomp box is compact and maintenance-free, but still has everything that made the EP-3 so loved. During development, the preamp, the self-oscillation, the ability to adjust the recording volume, and the way the pedal responds to amplifiers and other pedals, were all important factors. The Belle Epoch is not just an effects pedal, it is almost an instrument in itself.

Belle Epoch: a beautiful era

Better 'delay' times are coming with the Catalinbread Belle Epoch. To get an idea of what this pedal can do for you, it is best to try the pedal on its own through an amplifier with a clean setting first. With Echo Sustain and Mod set to minimum, Mix set to 12 o'clock and Echo Delay wherever you like, you can experiment with the Record Level control. You'll notice that the sound varies from a whisper to full and loud with just a touch of overdrive. Echo Sustain adjusts the level of repetition and, in conjunction with Echo Delay, you can really go to town. Just be aware that things could get quite extreme! If it all gets a bit too loud you can use the Mix control to adjust the volume.
