Jimmy Page: How he used his EP3 Echoplex to create ROCK AWESOMENESS!

[@GenuineSoundware]

1:40 Echoplex doesn't change tape speed, the lever adjusts the distance between record head (mobile) and pickup head.

[@AchillesWrath1]

Eddie was also pretty well known for using an EP3 Echoplex. Which would make sense Page was an influence on him

[@timwills6584]

Enjoyed the video very much... and so pleased you gave Tommy Bolin a mention. He deserves to be remembered as one of the all time greats💜❤🎸🎶🎶🎶

[@genxguitar3599]

Thanks .. I’m a huge Tommy fan and covered a bunch of his tunes on my other channel.

[@jmhdbrown]

It would be a crime to talk about the EP-3 without mentioning Tommy Bolin

[@joepoulos4081]

I saw Tommy Bolan with Deep Purple at Lakeland Civic Center in the early 70s using an echoplex and was blown away. I finally bought one on eBay, can't wait to try it out.

[@mil182]

Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed all the info you shared and loved being able to hear the echo plex on a modern recording. Tones sound very nice!

[@imspartacvs]

It GROWLS!!!! It's a great classoc pedal. I haven't come across a 'digital' version... but then again I really havent looked. Thanks for dredging up the past :) Rock On

[@genxguitar3599]

A digital version won’t do it ! Thanks 🙏

[@imspartacvs]

@@genxguitar3599 You don't think a Helix or a Kemper could be dialed in?

[@imspartacvs]

I just looked and I think you are right... they just didn't have the Ball's

[@genxguitar3599]

@@imspartacvs No.. but an exchoplex could be a nightmare to use on a gig!

Great sounds of Page echoplex bow theramin his trademarks. Very well done!!!!

Thank you kindly!

Had 4 from 72 / 2005 never a problem !

Cool video man, thank you! That first tone using it as saturation sounded great, very cool pedal

[@genxguitar3599]

Thanks! Preamp definitely adds some juice :)

Top job . Thanks. Look forward to the next video. Your doing it .

Hey what amp are you using in this video, and what was the delay time set to for example 2?

[@genxguitar3599]

It's a 71 Fender Princeton non-reverb. Nobels ODS-1 for gain. The Marshall in the background was misbehaving that day!

[@genxguitar3599]

Just did the delay by ear..Probably about 100ms

[@jamesoconnor5154]

@GenXGuitar i just got a sixty8 by lpd pedals and its great, highly recommended. Im lookin to get an old valco amp, still haven't found "the one" yet

[@skoorb1]

What a find for 400.00 bucks! My secret sauce always on pedal is a Chasetone Secret Preamp, and I use a Strymon Volante as my main delay. It's reliable, but I would love to have some of the quirks of the original!

[@genxguitar3599]

I will have to check out the Volante. Chasetone is great!

[@jamesoconnor5154]

How does this dude not have thousands of followers?

[@genxguitar3599]

One sub at a time..by hook or crook!

[@DannyDKNYC]

Great video! exactly what guitar do you have there? Looks cool

[@minsang6704]

Nice preamp! Can stompbox echoplex preamp pedal do the same thing?

[@genxguitar3599]

Catalinbread Belle Epoch can do a similar thing .. and the Chase Preamp Is nice also !

[@minsang6704]

@@genxguitar3599 you mean "Chase tone Secret preamp"??

[@diegopalominoss]

damn what a sound man, did you have the echoplex before any drive like page would have it in front of the amp? (no fx loop at the time) its crazy how theres no way to replicate that, my carbon copy in front of the amp sounds good for slapback but longer delays sound fussy af lol

[@genxguitar3599]

I did .. A Nobels ODR-1. I agree it’s tough to control a delay in front of an amp without a drive to tame it!

[@diegopalominoss]

@@genxguitar3599 indeed, was it echoplex into odr1 into amp?

[@genxguitar3599]

The echoplex was to the left of the ODR .
