Catalinbread Belle Epoch Deluxe Tape Echo Delay Guitar Effects Pedal. Mint, with original packaging! The new Catalinbread Belle Epoch Deluxe is an exact reproduction of the iconic 1970s Maestro Echoplex® EP-3 the only difference is there is no tape! The Belle Epoch Deluxe honors the EP-3 lineage by faithfully reproducing the original EP-3 specifications part for part the only things missing are the record and playback heads with a 24-bit high-fidelity digital delay line taking the place of the tape cartridge. Exact circuitry reproduction of the 22v power rail (running off a standard 9vDC power supply) helps to achieve that expansive plugged-into-the-wall sound. The JFET preamp (later EP-3 spec), mixer stage, and high gain silicon transistor-based record and playback amplifiers and feedback loop lends to the big, warm feel expected from these legendary musical devices. True to Catalinbread form, each component is thoughtfully and meticulously ear selected to bring you the most accurate EP-3 feel and sound available in pedal form. Belle Epoch Deluxe: More Than Just an Echo Unit. Players for decades have sworn by the Echoplex, not just for the delays, but for the sonic enhancement it brings to the players rig as well. This is widely accepted consensus by now as there are several EP-3 inspired boosters on the market. But the third aspect of the Echoplex was that it was a live performance instrument unto itself. Catalinbreads addition of the expression pedal control over delay time, delay playback head volume, and even rotary speed and filter sweep behaviors expands the legacy of the Echoplex as a performance instrument. Then we went further and added a momentary footswitch for echo oscillation, tunable via an internal trimpot, for even more sonic potential that even the originals did not possess! But Wait Theres More!! As if that werent enough we then expanded the possibilities even further by adding 5 more sonic layers to the Echo cake! Echo Programs 2 through 6 feature a warmer analog delay flavored mode, Rotary, Filter, DMM Chorus, and DMM Vibrato modes all benefitting from that magical EP-3 preamp feel.

This is a Gibson Explorer from the 1980’s. It was custom painted from all the details of the famous WWII Memphis Belle B-17 Bomber which was the first plane to fly 25 missions in daylight bombing. Col Robert Morgan was the pilot of the Memphis Belle B-17F Bomber. For this, the Air Force stated after completing 25 missions you can go home. Even after the 25 missions, Col Robert Morgan later flew more missions. The bomber flew 25 successful combat missions over France and Germany between 1942 and 1943, the first plane to take on such a large number of operations and return with its crew. All those that did not make it are Heroes too! But by having a 25 mission goal, it gave hope to those fighting. The name Memphis Belle was inspired by pilot Robert K. Morgan’s sweetheart, Memphis native Margaret Polk. Being the First Flying Fortress Bomber to complete 25 missions in the Second World War inspired the making of a 1944 documentary film about the Memphis Belle and a Memphis Belle movie. The Memphis Belle B17 bomber is now the official airplane of Tennessee. The plane is currently being restored again and will go on display in the Air Force museum in 2018. I got in touch with Col. Morgan back in the late 90s and asked if I had a guitar custom painted would he sign it? I met Col Robert Morgan in North Carolina at his work office. He signed my guitar and the green guitar strap, It was an honor to meet him and have him sign my guitar. He said he never signed a guitar before. In 2004 I heard he was stepping out of a plane and stumbled and fell and went to the hospital. While in the hospital he got pneumonia and died. Rest In Peace War Heroes – Col Robert Knight Morgan (July 31, 1918 May 15, 2004) and Crew of the Memphis Belle B-17 bomber!!! I have not seen another guitar painted up historically like this and signed by a WWII hero. This is a high quality guitar with pure Art and History signed by the Pilot himself. It is a one of a kind acknowledging all those bombers who fought in WWII for our freedom. I really dont want to sell this Memphis Belle Gibson guitar. It plays and sounds great although I dont think it has one hour of playing time on it since it was painted and signed. It only has one very little scratch on the bottom of the guitar near where the cord plugs in. It is shown in the picture. Other than that it is mint condition. The guitar has a Gibson tremolo like the Kahler style. The guitar comes with an old Gibson explorer case, a green guitar strap signed by Col Robert Morgan and a copy of the patches that they wore on their bomber jackets.
