The new Catalinbread Epoch Pre was modeled after the exact preamp circuit from the original EP-3, from the 22v power supply to the JFET preamp, to the circuit loading contributed by the echo function. Not only does it provide boost it acts like a mastering plug-in on the master fader – making your whole pedalboard sounds bigger, lusher, wider, the Epoch Pre can bundle all the frequencies without squishing them like a compressor!
Epoch Pre Features:
- Exact EP-3 preamp replica.
- Accepts standard 9v pedal power supply but converts it to 22v internally.
- Epoch Pre has two outputs to drive different pedal chains or two amps.
- Discrete silicon transistor buffer, high headroom.
