It remained in production until the early 1990s, making it the longest-running version of the Echoplex. While designed as a delay, the EP-3 became legendary for its solid-state FET preamp, which guitarists like Eddie Van Halen and Jimmy Page used to \"fatten up\" their signal even when the echo was turned off. It features a sliding record head that allows you to manually sweep through delay times, creating unique pitch-shifting \"spaceship\" sounds. Unlike many analog delays that get darker with each repeat, the EP-3's repeats often sound brighter as the low end rolls off, helping the echo cut through a mix. It includes a Sound on Sound feature, allowing it to function as a primitive looper.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL EU PURCHASES ARE DELIVERED WITH TAXES AND DUTIES PAID\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAll purchases include EU taxes\/duties paid, i.e., nothing further is due on receipt of goods to any EU state.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY BUY FROM US\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWe are one of the world's leading specialists in used and vintage gear with over 30 years of experience.
