This pedal does exactly what every pedal SHOULD do (but none of them do): It makes you play differently and you end up wanting it on all the time, to the point of making excuses to keep it on, even when echo isn't called for. Just an absolute game changer. You guys nailed it. It's not just "an emulation of an EP-3," it's a whole paradigm of its own.
I lot of pedals inspire you to play differently lol I do love this one too though
I have a Catalinbread Topanga. It does an INSANE spring reverb and its easter egg is an awesome chorus-y modulation which interacts very well with the reverb settings. Very usable at any setting, to be honest.
Considering how good the Belle sounds and its vibrato mode, you can do incredible things with just these two pedals.
I found an old forum post about the lack of tap tempo on the Belle Epoch where you said that you aren't really about public demand but rather you create pedals that that you feel inspired to.
With that in mind (don't worry, I'm not going to ask for tap tempo, though admittedly it can be useful) I hope this suggestion might inspire you. I'd love to see a two switch version of this pedal with one side being the preamp and the other side being the tape delay emulation (voiced to sound like an EP-3 when used in conjunction with the preamp). This would allow for more flexibility as the user could use either side at his or her own discretion.
This video was helpful as I didn't know the preamp remained on when in buffered mode. Very useful for those that use an EP-3 style preamp as an "always on" pedal.
... and Lo! There was the Belle Epoch Deluxe.
@@delphinbringsby6768 ....and the Epoch Boost!
You predicted the future!
I'm an analog delay junkie and have played everything from DM-2, Ibanez, EHX, Malekko... Today I own a Maxon AD999 pro and a JHS Panther Cub (tap tempo for live). My favorite analog wannabe digital engined delay pedal is the Line 6 Echo Park (way better than the DL4, Strymon, Eventide...).
I've been flirting with the Epoch since it came out and I finally got my hands on it. WOW! It's perfection. I haven't had a delay pedal putting a smile on my face like this for a long time (probably since the Maxon). The Belle Epoch has a delay sound with zero digitalness to it and it just gels with your guitar sound.
The bad news??? Now I want them all!!! Echorec, Adineko...
I tried this pedal and really liked it. When I get better at playing this is the first pedal I’m getting!
Have a look also at Echorec and Memory Man from Electro Harmonix. About the same price, some great delays.
5:00 I really wish I didn't have my headphones cranked....
Aww I didn't know about some of these things, I have the echorec and the belle epoch, love both of them, and run them both at 18 volts!
Cool book. Ive read it many times. He was far ahead of the curve.
I was considering selling my pedal until I watched your video. My board's all torn apart right now, but I can't wait to try your secrets!
My board is torn down half the time. Gotta say half the fun I have is rebuilding it. Never sell the BE. It and the Echorec will never leave my collection. They just sound so incredible. I never want to turn them off.
Loving my Belle epoch so far, and now I have more options to play with it. Thanks!!Your demos are awesome.
I'm getting addicted to Catalinbread!!
It might be redundant for a lot of people but thanks for taking the time guys. I might have said that already but I forgot lol
IcyBluesOfDeath People retain and absorb information differently so we present them differently! We also want people to feel comfortable really getting to know our pedals and get the most out of them....but really, it's just fun for us ;) :P
Catalinbread Mechanisms of Music Ordered this yesterday, cant wait to up it in the rig! Wont have to risk my EP-3 !! Thank you for such an amazing pedal !
It's a very good idea : the boost with echo in one switch ! thanks from Paris
I accidently unlocked the vibrato setting and thought something was wrong because it was only happening on the 18v setting🤦♂ - Although I did think it was a really good vibrato! Loving this pedal even more now... Does exactly what I was expecting and some more ❣
Would love to see a stack vid with the belle epoch and the Echorec!
I've found that going into vibrato mode can be pretty reminiscent of the flutter on the Tel-Ray oil can delays depending on how you set the depth. I hope this was at least part of the intention behind including it because it's indescribably cool to use once you get past the initial cheese factor
This pedal is so f**king good I sold my first one out of sheer stupidity, then got a Strymon Timeline thinking it could replace my Belle Epoch and boy was I wrong....the Strymon Timeline is a great pedal....make no mistake, but the Belle Epoch is just magic when you know how to combine it with dirt pedals or high gain amps.....I just got my second Belle Epoch and paired it with my Fender Custom '57 Deluxe (5e3) with my custom shop Les Paul and Bogner Blue overdrive and holy jumpin' jesus the tone is unreal......
Im late to the party but on mine I can get Chorus Mode if I turn the Mod knob all the way to left and plug in power. So there are 3 Modes on the Mod; Chorus (all way to the left), Wow&Flutter (Noon) and Vibrato (all way to the right). Nice!
Helpfull video. Now I have the confidence to screw the gain knob without destroying my nice pedal. I really like the tone shaping of the preamp , but want it clear for an always on use. Just some screwing and giving it 18 volts seem to make this happen.
Love this pedal so much. Going to run up and try this vibrato mode you talk about.
is there an Easter egg for the dirty little secret MKIII that makes the low end not so flubby? EDIT: ok im a DUMB-ASS! had it on SB mode when i thought it was on SL and i just got an 18v power supply and WOW! big difference. thanks.
"...fuck it up real bad." Spit take moment. George.
Thanks!
You had me at Water on the Trim Pot...LOL
Definitely try 18v! Imo it is definitely better sounding. I could give you a bunch of buzzwords for how it changes things but just try it.
You can just hook up 2 9v batteries in series and wire it to a spare barrel plug - remember to put negative to the center.
Thank you for this vid and secrets!!!! Awesome!
First let me say that I like this pedal a lot. It's cool that the Belle Epoch has a gain control and the bypass switch, as well as the hidden "Easter egg" vibrato mode, but why not have these controls on the top of the unit so people can use them without having to unscrew the bottom? And why have an "Easter egg" mode to begin with? I would like to have these features out there and clearly documented, with easy to use controls attached to the outside of the unit, so I could use them easily.
+mrjohnp555 I think they idea with true bypass and gain is that you set it for your rig/preferred sound and leave it alone. So those make sense to me.
The hidden vibrato mode is kind of strange though. Not sure why that isn't just a regular feature. Its a cool sound but the way you get it makes it kind of... unusable in a live setting anyways.
This is 1 delay that im still satisified after a couple of years. Easier to use for me than their echorec.
Is the EP-3 pre-amp built into this pedal or only the deluxe? Sorry, but lots of conflicting info out there.
Hi - I noticed that when I set it to True Bypass I get a loud pop when turning it on vs buffer mode which I do not encounter that issue. Any suggestions? Also, if BE is after OD, does it really matter if in Buffer mode in a sense of coloring the tone? Obviously new to this. Thanks
Missed to say that it only occur the first time I switch it on - after no pop
Would you suggest putting the Adineko and Belle Epoch after fuzz and before foundation OD?
So, in trails mode, when you turn the pedal off is the preamp still on?
yes
Any cool Easter Eggs on the Karma Suture?
(Best fuzz ever)
What is a good slap back setting where would I need to turn the knobs? And is there a way to make it sound as close to the wall on the watch tower solar Jimi Hendrix did and he kicks on the wah pedal and has the delay or I guess I’m assuming tape echo affect
So does the preamp affect your signal even when the pedal is off just like an EP-3?
Only when in buffered mode.
Is there a way to make the pedal *always* work as a vibrato?
At what point is the gain set to unity like a real echoplex?
I play down tuned and stoner stuff, im after a do it all delay, which of yours would you recommend? Belle epoch, Adinecho or the Montevillian?
Just picked up one of these pedals. I'm not able to get this into an adjustable Easter Egg mode vibrato. I also don't hear any noticeable wobble in normal mode. Although, when I turn the Mod knob all the way up, that is where a rapid vibrato kicks in whether I'm in easter egg or normal mode. Any thoughts why this may be happening?
my epoch seems to be extremely twitchy near the end of the trimpot travel. it seems like I can only get ALLOFIT or unity gain.
Can you make a roland space echo? Call it the Specho.
What happens when you put tea in the teapot?
I don't know, but when I have some pot with tea I feel fine.
Its possible make any tap tempo mod on this pedal?? I cant found deluxe version in my country
What are the settings out the box
Can I also set it to fuzz like the echorec?
I was messing around with tones on the back, then the echo sustain knob stopped working (there's always only 1 echo) and the modulation went insane (I now know I accidentally figured out the vibrato secret!). If anyone has any advice like a system reset or how to fix the echo sustain, please let me know! I think it might be because I wasn’t yet knowledgeable and I touched the white connection points on the printed circuit board with my screwdriver and might have caused a short (I know, rookie mistake). I love this pedal, have been using it for years - Bummed :(
i just bought this pedal. i have it running into the front of a Marshall 2204 and it has a hiss. How can i eliminate this? I have tried a couple isolated PS to no avail (also 12vdc and 18vdc settings vs 9vdc) I have lowered the gain pot on the back all the way as well as put it into full bypass mode. I do not use much delay or mix/level at all just for some subtle ambiance but the pedal has a massive hiss.
Avoid daisy chain and/or get a good quality power supply. That has solved for me a lot of issues like the one you described. Cheers.
When I Turn the repeats clockwise and when the pedal goes into that 'infinite oscillation' mode, is there any way that that swirling sound just fades out rather than being abruptly stopped. When it's in bypass mode, and when I turn off the pedal, that swirling sound immediately stops, but when I switch it to buffered mode, turn the repeats to 3 o'clock or further, I cannot stop the swirling sound by turning the pedal off. Is there any solution or is it just the way it is?
Ivan Ljubicic You gotta turn some knobs
You're fuck'n hilarious dude.
Is there anyway to get a backwards effect on this pedal?
reverse delay
@@vicenteb531 On the Belle Epoch?
@@MCobbjr nope
What is the the stock setting for the trimpot?
A mini toggle switch and mini knob would have worked too, instead of hiding these features....
The Tao of JKD! Cool.
dont understand why jackie is reading a bruce lee book
Sounds like Bruce Lee 💦
