“We thought of a couple extra variables you could use to craft your perfect EP-3 experience”: Catalinbread adds the versatile Epoch Bias preamp pedal to its Echoplex-inspired lineup

Catalinbread Epoch Bias.

Catalinbread has launched the Epoch Bias, a pedal emulating the preamp featured in vintage Maestro EP-3 Echoplex units, and used by the likes of Eddie Van Halen and countless others as an always-on tone-sweetening weapon.

The Epoch Bias joins a range of Catalinbread pedals inspired by the EP-3. You can go the whole hog with tape echo emulation and add the Belle Epoch Deluxe to your pedalboard, use the Belle Epoch Tape Echo if you just need a reliable platform for old-school repeats – with mechanical wow and flutter at the touch of a dial.
