Description

Dunlop positioned the EP103-U Echoplex Delay as a digital recreation of the EP-3 tape echo unit, offering that unit's characteristic repeat tones without the maintenance demands of a tape cartridge system. It sat within Dunlop's effects line as a studio-grade delay pedal built around a straightforward control interface.

The EP103-U featured a hi-fi all-analog dry signal path, keeping the unaffected signal in the analog domain while the delay processing operated digitally at a 96 kHz sampling rate. A dedicated Age control allowed the owner to progressively degrade the character of the repeats, simulating the sonic behaviour of a worn tape echo unit. The pedal ran on 9 volts DC, drawing 240 mA, with an input impedance of 1 MΩ, output impedance of 100 Ω, maximum input and output levels of +5 dBV, and a noise floor of -107 dBV.

For questions about power supply compatibility, signal chain integration, or control calibration, a qualified guitar technician or electronics repair specialist will be best placed to advise.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
