[NAMM] New Dunlop Echoplex guitar preamp

The EP101 Echoplex Preamp recreates the tone of the EP-3 used by the likes of Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen and Eric Johnson.

The True bypass preamp is equipped with a Field-effect Transistor (FET) just like the original '60s Echoplex and follows the exact same signal path as the EP-3. Operation couldn’t be easier with one single Gain control that allows you to boost the signal up to +11dB, providing a light overdrive at higher settings.

The Echoplex Preamp runs on a 9V battery.

• Max Input Level: –5 dBV
• Max Output Level: +5.5 dBV
• Noise Floor: –95 dBV
• Max Gain: +11 dBV
• Input Impedance: 730 kΩ
• Output Impedance: 55 kΩ

 Pricing and availability haven’t been disclosed yet, but that should happen soon enough.
