That Pedal Show – Tape Echo: New Echoplex, Belle Epoch & El Capistan vs Fulltone SS

Published on Sep 23, 2016

In this episode Daniel and Mick follow up to a show from February 2016 where we put a genuine vintage Echoplex EP-3 up against some more modern delay pedals.
For this instalment we’ve swapped out the Echoplex for the modern production equivalent – a Fulltone Solid State Tape Echo – and selected the three new pedals for comparison for which we’ve had most requests. As you’ll hear, there are some spectacular performers in today’s video.
