New Catalinbread Epoch EP-3 Preamp Boost Guitar Effects Pedal

$159.99 USD

With your purchase you will receive two Hosa metal patch cables (IRG-100.5) and a Hosa 10 foot Pro guitar cable!

Modeled after the exact same preamp circuit from the legendary EP-3 tape echo unit, the Catalinbread Epoch Boost preamp/buffer pedal makes your tone bigger, fuller, and livelier. Countless guitarists over the years have plugged into that echo unit simply to treat their tone with the sound of its preamp, and that's what you get with the Epoch Boost — plus more. It's also a pristine buffer, making it a great choice for the end of your pedalboard chain. And to maintain the dynamics of your performance, it internally shifts your 9-volt power supply up to 22 volts for greater headroom.


Catalinbread Epoch Boost Preamp/Buffer Pedal Features:

  • Preamp/buffer pedal for electric guitar
  • Faithfully re-creates the premp circuit from the original EP-3 tape echo processor
  • Takes 9-volt power (sold separately) but internally shifts it to 22 volts for greater dynamics and headroom
  • Acts like a mastering processor for your guitar tone, making it bigger, livelier, and more vibrant
  • Switchable buffer for maintaining your tone over long cable runs
  • Great way to make your guitar tone bigger in a way that basic EQ or compression can't achieve
