This week's video: Part 2 of 3 in our Belle Epoch vs Echoplex EP-3 series. An in depth overview of control surface parameters on the Catalinbread Belle Epoch and how it was designed to act and sound just like an Echoplex EP-3!
Just a few nuggets of information in this video:
How to Use Delay: recreate the slapback on an Echoplex.
How to Use Record Level and Mix: dial in your sound. They're analogous to a Record Level trim pot and Echo Volume (Mix on Belle Epoch). Record Level on an Echoplex sets how hard you hit tape essentially getting your recording level set to optimize your signal to noise ratio. By hitting the tape harder or less hard you get different sounds and textures, and determine where the echo can sit in relation to your dry guitar. As Record Level attenuates, it hits the virtual tape softer making wispy repeats. As it is turned up, it saturates more and your low end goes up, contributing to head bumps.
Stay tuned next week for part 3!

It's magic how you guys managed to basically cram an echoplex down into a pedal for use by anyone. Howard should play more, he's so good, anyone that hasn't seen the Rah demos should do so NOW.
Always somebody with the tap tempo. A more interesting deluxe version would have a feature actually on an EP3: sound on sound! You know you wanna, Howard!
Right? That would be rad as hell. Also I think that all the guitar legends before us did just fine having to figure out the delay times without a tap tempo.
Thanks for explaining the record level. I finally figured this out on my own the other day, and finally got close to that Zeppelin "I can't quit you babe" vibe.
No one ever mentions Dead Meadow or Tommy Bolin either, so that was a bonus!
I love my Belle Epoch its never leaving my pedalboard. It's rad seeing videos like this because I own a RAH and Belle so it's really giving me some new ideas.
My all-time favorite pedal, made complete by the Tap Tempo, congrats for such an awesome pedal!!
I have one on the way. Thanks for helping me learn more about how to get more out of the pedal
Best guitar sound in a demo ever!
I just purchased the Bell Epock and just love the tones. I’m running it after a JHS mod of the EHX Soul Food but I might try it out before.
This, like the Echorec, just sounds so so good its scary.
Right? I told a bunch of people I got a Binson Echorec 2 and they believed me lol
I gotta get this thing. Aside from the whole guitar application, running my Sonic Wave theremin into it... goddamn!
What is your advice if I was to run two belle epochs at the same time? Would the pre amp in each be too much to run them both on side by side? Would it squash the sound or cause feedback? Thanks dude!
7:35, I tought the Belle Epoch deluxe was the actual Echoplex preamp and design, how different is the regular bell epoch to the belle epoch deluxe?
What a great video! Thanks for posting it. How much can I get in trade for my stock B.E. towards the bamboo version? That's the one that should be stock! So much more readable!
+arthur behrman Unfortunately, we're out of our Belle Epochs! :(
Wait why does yours have a green LED but mine has a red?
I put scotch tape inside the back of the pedal it sounds even better now!
Where does one get the one you have with silver knobs ??? I like layout better than the gray one ( I own gray one ) have a cool looking deluxe from sweet water on the way
Cool
How does the Belle sound in an effects loop?
Is there a tap tempo version coming out soon?
great echo tech but really, can't you do better than four screws in the baseplate to get inside? I mean really, this is 2020. 4 screws is not quick easy access and in fact its a PIA. Also why not put the gain pot where you can get at it like on the top. That gain trim pot is also a PIA to get to and has no indication of unity. Please don't hide this stuff! No one wants to go digging around for hidden trim pots and switches, no one!
Like Chase bliss? On the back…?
STOP TURNING THOSE KNOBS FOR NOTHING!!!!
Oh boy …what an aggressive statement…maybe u can’t hear it
