A cornerstone in the history of delay effects, the EP-3 introduced a smoother, more musical preamp stage, delivering that iconic, slightly compressed, and rounded echo that made it a favorite of legendary players. This particular unit is nearly all-original and includes the rare factory manual on the inside of the case cover, as well as the original footswitch — an exceptional find for collectors and tone purists alike.

Key Features:

  • Model: Likely the EP-3, renowned for its warm, organic repeats and subtle modulation that only a true tape delay can provide.

  • Components: Nearly all-original, with the manual intact and original footswitch included, adding historical value and authenticity.
  • Tone: The EP-3’s preamp gives a unique boost and character, adding subtle saturation and making it a go-to delay for both guitar and studio use.
