CONTROLS

FOOTSWITCH toggles eect on/

bypass (blue LED indicates on)

POWER

The Echoplex® Preamp is powered
by one 9-volt battery (remove
bottom plate to install), a 9-volt
AC adapter such as the Dunlop

ECB003/ECB003E, or a DC Brick

power supply.

DIRECTIONS

• Run a cable from your guitar to
the Echoplex Preamp’s INPUT

jack and run another cable from

™

the Echoplex Preamp’s OUTPUT
jack to your amplier.

• Start with the GAIN control at
Position 5 (+0dB).

• Turn the eect on by depressing

the footswitch.

• Rotate the GAIN knob clockwise
to increase gain (up to +11dB) or

counterclockwise to decrease it.

• Starting at position 7, the

Echoplex Preamp will produce
light overdrive clipping.

TONE CONDITIONING TIPS

• Start with the Echoplex Preamp
at the end of your eects chain.
In this position, the EP101 will

sweeten up the sound of the
entire chain and also act as a

buer.

• For a dierent sound, try placing
the EP101 after your gain pedals

(boost, overdrive, distortion,
fuzz) but before your modulation

pedals (phaser, anger, chorus,

delay, etc.).

• To use the EP101 as a true

preamp, or as a lead boost,
put it at the beginning of your

eects chain.
