Epoch Boost Pedal
The Catalinbread Epoch Boost is a guitar pedal that pays homage to the legendary Maestro Echoplex EP-3 preamp, a secret weapon used by some of rock's most iconic guitarists. While the EP-3 was originally designed as a tape echo unit, its magical preamp circuit became the real star of the show, adding unparalleled clarity, headroom, and harmonic richness to the sound. Catalinbread has meticulously recreated this revered preamp circuit in the Epoch Boost, capturing every nuance of the original's tone-shaping capabilities. From the vintage Orange Drop capacitors to the custom output mixer stage, this pedal delivers the same "mastered" sound that helped define the soaring leads of Eddie Van Halen and the angular riffs of the Dead Kennedys' East Bay Ray. But the Epoch Boost isn't just a faithful replica - Catalinbread has kicked the internal voltage up to 22V, unlocking even more headroom and dynamic range. The Boost control allows you to seamlessly blend in up to 20dB of crystal-clear gain, taking your base tone to new heights of articulation and harmonic complexity. Whether you're looking to recreate the iconic tones of the past or craft your own signature sound, the Epoch Boost is a must-have tool in the modern guitarist's arsenal. It's a masterful blend of vintage mojo and modern innovation, ready to transform your guitar into a true rock 'n' roll powerhouse.
