Dunlop Echoplex All-Analog Dry Path Delay

Dunlop · pedal

The Dunlop Echoplex Delay is a BBD analog delay pedal from Dunlop inspired by the legendary Maestro Echoplex tape echo machine. Features an all-analog dry path (the dry guitar signal bypasses the DSP entirely) with warm, naturally degrading BBD chip delay repeats. Controls include Echo Time, Echo Volume, and Feedback. The Echoplex circuit uses genuine BBD chips for authentic analog delay warmth with pre-amp character inspired by the original Echoplex tape machine's preamp stage.
