I was heartbroken when my EP-3 Maestro Echoplex (bought for 99 bucks in 1989 at the Starving Musician in San Jose, R.I.P.)
had its ceramic board broken. Replacements at this point are very expensive and have maintenance issues that I don't
want to handle.
So . . . a pedalboard that functions like an EP-3. Lots of choices for the echo sound -- you know them -- but very few
for the feature I valued most. Jimmy Page can keep his pre-amp (but yea, I like it too), I want the SOS, Sound on Sound!
Yea, yea, the El Capistan. I have V1 and like it but not the mono -> stereo bit. Paired with the MXR Mini-Booster it does
sound close to the original EP-3, I'll admit.
But the Volante won out. For the moment. There's the ECCOS to try! What are your suggestions / boards that do the same?
I miss the way the sound loops slowly faded out . . . digital is much too clean. Haven't found the right setting in the Volante
yet to capture that part.
