Based on the classic ‘63 Maestro® EP-1, the first of a series of “Echoplex” designs featuring
a cartridge of looped 1/4” tape that passed over separate record and playback heads. In the
M13, we’ve also included a new DryThru model, with a flat, dry signal path when Mix is
set to 0%. For more info on DryThru models, see Chapter 2, Model Details.

Tape Echo & Tape Echo DryThru
Based on the solid state EP-3, with transistors instead of tubes for the sound electronics.
The EP-3 used the same basic mechanical design as the original Echoplex, including the
looped 1/4” tape. Unlike the Tube Echo Model, 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. We’ve also included a Tape Echo DryThru model.
