Catalinbread Belle Epoch Deluxe Echo Unit CB-3 New

The Belle Epoch Deluxe Echo CB-3 New promises exact EP-3 circuitry, from the 22 volt power rail, to the JFET preamp (later spec), to the mixer stage, to the high gain silicon transistor based record and playback amplifiers, to the feedback loop. This black/silver is exactly the same as the previous grey/blue one.

All circuitry is faithfully reproduced and fine-tuned from the original EP-3 specifications. The only thing missing are the record and playback heads, with a 24-bit high-fidelity digital delay line taking the place of the tape.

All-discrete, through-hole construction with orange drop 225P capacitors, carbon composition resistors, germanium diodes, and other premium parts.

This tape delay ..elay ..lay ..ay ..y is Catalin’s flagship pedal.The Belle Epoch Deluxe Echo CB-3 produces delaytimes from 80 to 800 ms. In comparison with its little brother is has 6 different programs: a classic EP-3 tape delay, dark bucket brigade delays and leslie, wah, chorus and vibrato modulations.
