Step into the past and experience the rich, organic modulation of the Dunlop Echoplex Delay EP103, a compact yet powerful delay pedal that captures the iconic warmth and musicality of the classic EP-3 tape echo unit.

Designed as an homage to the revered EP-3 tape echo, the EP103 takes the best of the past and updates it for today's musicians. It delivers the EP-3's legendary tones in a modern, reliable package that's smaller than a Phase 90. The delay control sets the time between repeats, ranging from 4 to 750ms, while the sustain control sets the number of repeats. The volume control, on the other hand, adjusts the output level of your repeats.

But where the EP103 really shines is in its Age mode. Here, your pedal performs as a perfectly calibrated, factory-fresh tape echo machine. A quick push of the volume knob lets you "age" the sound of your repeats, adding depth and richness as you darken the tone, increase the tape saturation, and ramp up modulation and tape distress.

The Echoplex Delay also features tap tempo functionality for up to 4 seconds of delay time, accessible when you connect an M199 MXR Tap Tempo Switch. And to ensure your dry signal remains untainted, the EP103 offers an all-analog dry path with Constant Headroom Technology, providing a full 20 volts of headroom.
