Tube Echo – based on Maestro EP-1.
The classic 1963 Maestro EP-1 was the first of a series of
“Echoplex” designs distributed by the company, and made
by Harris-Teller in Chicago. As touted in a Maestro
advertisement, the Echoplex’s “...special effects range all
the way from a controlled high speed reverberation to a
full, throbbing echo”!
The main feature of the Echoplex design is a special
cartridge of looped 1/4" tape that wraps past separate record
and playback heads. The position of the playback head
can be moved to adjust the delay time from 60 to 650
milliseconds. Your Stomp Box Modeler’s Tube Echo
emulates the classic Echoplex tone with the extra advantage
of up to 2.5 seconds of delay time.
Tape Echo – based on Maestro EP-3.
After the tube-based EP-1 and EP-2, Maestro introduced
the solid state EP-3, with transistors instead of tubes for
the sound electronics. The EP-3 uses the same basic
mechanical design as the original Echoplex, including the
looped 1/4" tape, but does not have the tube distortion
sound of the EP-1.
EP-3s contributed to many classic recordings of the
70’s. Eddie Van Halen and Jimmy Page were both avid
EP-3 users.
Unlike the Tube Echo Model based on the EP-1, which
gives you control of wow, flutter and distortion, our EP-3
emulation is designed to give you a less distorted tape
emulation with adjustable tone controls.
