The Dunlop EP101 Echoplex Preamp brings the legendary tone shaping of the original Echoplex EP 3 straight to your pedalboard. Famous for the way it subtly enhances and sweetens your signal, this circuit became a key ingredient in the sound of countless iconic players, valued just as much for its tonal character as for its echo capabilities.

The Gain control offers up to +11 dB of boost, with a touch of natural asymmetrical clipping at higher settings, adding a musical edge and organic grit to your tone. Housed in a rugged, compact enclosure, this pedal is built for life on the road. With true bypass switching, a classic style control knob and reliable 9 volt operation with consistent headroom, the EP101 delivers vintage inspired tone in a modern, dependable format.
