Dunlop’s EP101 Echoplex Preamp recreates the magic of the EP-3’s front end, featuring a Field-effect Transistor (FET) just like the original and following the exact same signal path. The Gain control allows you to boost your signal by up to +11dB, with light asymmetrical clipping at higher settings for a bit of nice organic grit.
The Echoplex Preamp runs on standard 9-volt power and contains power management circuitry to guarantee constant headroom performance throughout the normal life of a 9-volt battery. With a heavy-duty Phase 90-sized housing, a replica EP-3 knob, true bypass switching and a status LED, the Echoplex Preamp is built to take a beating on the road so you can leave your fragile vintage piece at home.
Dunlop EP101 Echoplex Preamp Guitar Pedal Features
Faithful reproduction of the legendary Echoplex EP-3 front end
Gain boost up to +11dB
True Bypass
When the Echoplex EP-3 came out, guitar players were hooked by the way its preamp sweetened up their sound. Soon, the EP-3 made its way onto the records of top guitar players—from Jimmy Page to Eddie Van Halen and Eric Johnson—as much for its tone conditioning ability as its tape echo effect. Now, you can put the EP-3’s legendary secret sauce right on your pedalboard.
One knob? What confidence! I love an effect that doesn't allow you meds up the magic by endless tweaking. Definitely an honest pedal calling itself a preamp. I use it on a clean channel with the knop at about 3/4. It warms up the sound AND polishes it (to my ear anyway). I have it before my fuzz but...

Does it’s job and does it well
Very subtle preamp for boosting leads and bringing out slide work. I’ve tried multiple boost pedals and they have too much gain for what I’m doing, this pedal puts any lead work right where it needs to be in the mix.

Great clean boost
Do you require secret sauce? If so buy this pedal! No terribly loud but adds a little grit to a clean amp or use it on a dirty amp for more of a overdrive. Works really well with single coils to push the signal a little more. Because after all more is better!!!
