Guitar effect simulating the sound of the preamplifier of the legendary Exhoplex EC3, which was loved by such greats as Jimmy Page, Edie Van Halen or Eic Johnson. The preamplifier section now comes separately in a standard effects box. The same circuits and FET transistors as in the old original were used for its production. The Echoplex EP101 offers up to 11dB gain and characteristic asymmetric distortion that can be powered by a 9V battery or adapter (not included). Simple operation, but massive final sound. The pedal is of course a true bypass.
