The EP103's delay signal gets the same tonal conditioning that the EP101 Echoplex Preamp provides, while the dry path is left untouched. For the full EP-3 experience, put that secret sauce on your dry signal by running the EP101 in front of the EP103. Catalinbread's Belle Epoch Deluxe is perhaps the most highly-regarded Echoplex-style pedal out there. With a control-set that is very authentic to the dials found on original units, the thoughtful circuitry within the Belle Epoch Deluxe somehow replicates the distinctive repeats of the EP-3, and produces theunusual effects that couldbe attained when making drastic setting changes. All of that, without any real tape! Szwed, John (2004). So What: The Life of Miles Davis. Simon and Schuster. p. 288. ISBN 9780684859835.

The Echoplex wasn't notable just for the delay, but also for the sound; it is "still a classic today, and highly desirable for a range of playing styles... warm, rich, and full-bodied." [8] The delay could be turned off and the unit used as a filter, thanks to the sound of the vacuum tubes. While the delay sound itself is something to behold, many players equally adored models such as the legendary EP-3 for the sound of its preamp. Adding something extra, famous namessuch as Eddie Van Halen would sometimes rely solely on the preamp section to add moregirth and sparkle to hisguitar sound.The original EP-3’s echo effect has a characteristic lush, three-dimensional sound that combines delay and warm, natural-sounding reverb. Most digital emulations of this effect sound comparatively flat, but the EP103 absolutely nails the EP-3’s unique character. The Age control is the key to much of this charm, providing the perception of depth and a distinctive pitch warble that’s similar to chorus. Chords sound rich and lively, while individual notes retain body and punch. The echo effects also sound great in front of a distorted amp and maintain excellent definition and clarity.

Features 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. Battle's final consulting with Market yielded the EM-1 Groupmaster, which offered a four-channel input mixer section and a mono output section. Dissatisfied with the transistor-minded direction Maestro was taking, Battle left the company.
