The Catalinbread Belle Epoch Tape Echo recreates the sound, response, and character of the legendary Echoplex EP-3, delivering warm, organic tape echo tones in a compact pedal format. This Tone Shop Guitars exclusive Red Edition is available only through Tone Shop.

Unlike standard digital delay pedals, the Belle Epoch captures the interaction, preamp coloration, and musical decay of a true tape echo unit. Even at subtle settings, it adds depth, harmonic richness, and movement to your signal, making it equally effective as a traditional delay or an always-on tone enhancer.

This exclusive version retains the same circuit and performance as the standard Belle Epoch, paired with a custom Red enclosure that sets it apart visually while keeping the classic Belle Epoch control layout.
