Catalinbread belle epoch deluxe review.
Like the ep3 the belle epoch has a fully discrete preamp with no buffer stages or op amps in the direct signal path.
With unparalleled attention to detail and a perfectly executed design the belle epoch deluxe from catalinbread is the final word in maestro echoplex emulation pedals.
