EP-3 Golden Preamp

The GOLDEN PREAMP EP-3 offers guitarists and musicians a vintage-inspired tone enhancement pedal that adds sparkle and warmth to their sound. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Echoplex EP-3 preamp, this pedal delivers a sweetened tone reminiscent of classic album recordings.

Key features include:

• By utilizing a FET transistor pushed internally to 18 volts, the GOLDEN PREAMP EP-3 achieves enhanced headroom and dynamics, allowing for rich, detailed soundscapes.
• Switchable Tone Options: The pedal features a switch that allows users to tailor the tone to their preference or amp setup. With options for Clear, Mid, or Dark settings, players can find the perfect balance for their sound.
• Volume Attenuator: The ‘Volume’ knob functions as a volume attenuator, enabling precise control over the output level, ensuring compatibility with various setups and amplifiers.
• Placement in Pedal Chain: For optimal performance, the GOLDEN PREAMP EP-3 is recommended to be placed at the end of the pedal chain but before a reverb pedal. This positioning ensures that the pedal can fully enhance the tone while maintaining compatibility with other effects.
• Boost Functionality: In addition to its tone-enhancing capabilities, the pedal can also be used as a booster, providing up to 9 dB of clean signal boost, ideal for adding punch and presence to solos or driving the front end of an amplifier.

Overall, the GOLDEN PREAMP EP-3 promises to be an essential addition to any guitarist’s arsenal, offering a versatile combination of vintage-inspired tone shaping and clean boost functionality, all housed in a compact and pedal board-friendly enclosure. Whether used as an “always-on” pedal to sweeten the tone or as a dynamic booster for solos, this pedal is poised to become a go-to tool for musicians seeking to elevate their sound.
