Much R\u0026amp;D was implemented to make the Belle Epoch + the best version of itself that it could possibly be. Tapping in a beat couldn’t be easier; simply hold the footswitch to enter tap mode and hold it again to enter tap bypass mode. Apart from the tap tempo circuit, the Belle Epoch + just gives you more, more headroom, a redesigned Mix control, improved buffered bypass, a touch of noise gating and better impedance specs for rig integration. The preamp has been tweaked to provide a higher dynamic range with the same feel and response of the original Echoplex pre, giving you a more hi-fi sparkling tone that you’ve come to expect from the classic circuit. We’ve also expanded the feature set by offering three modes that correspond to wear on the virtual tape, from a pristine “fresh off the line” Echoplex to a dusty unit that’s been sitting in an attic for 40 years. Step into (and onto) the next generation of our classic echo unit!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 data-pf-type=\"Heading\" class=\"sc-kOHUsU fHbtje pf-66_\"\u003e\u003cspan data-pf-type=\"Text\" class=\"sc-cRmpXP cGRimR pf-68_\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCONTROLS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-tafSX ePbmtR pf-69_ pf-r pf-r-eh\" data-pf-type=\"Row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pf-c\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-pf-type=\"Column\" class=\"sc-pKreJ bIaXH pf-70_\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-feopBa gVincu pf-71_\" data-pf-type=\"Paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan data-pf-type=\"Text\" class=\"sc-cRmpXP cGRimR pf-73_\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSUSTAIN:\u003c\/span\u003e This controls the amount of signal fed back into the delay line, resulting in more or fewer repeats.

This control includes a tape saturation circuit that emulates the crunch found on the EP-3 when you dig in. Higher levels give a thick, gainier initial burst of signal while lower levels sit a little lower in the mix for organic echoing that enhances leads and solos. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eECHO DELAY:\u003c\/span\u003e  Governs the delay time, giving up to ~900ms of rich tape-like delay.

Anything beyond these specs (center-positive, AC, etc) will cause the Belle Epoch + to not function properly (best case) or brick (worst case).
