Three of Howard's Favorite Belle Epoch Deluxe Tips

[@paulgoldstein2002]

Only a bedroom musician here but never will I regret the moment of madness when I ordered the Belle Epoch Deluxe.

[@evankeal]

They are a bit hard to find right now, suppliers are awaiting stock, I want this pedal more than any person should want a pedal, I know without doubt, this is what I needed all along. Can barely wait.

[@jarrahmusic]

Just spontaneously bought one second hand cannot wait for it to show up at my doorstep

[@TheFlutecart]

JFET circuits love drive and fuzz like tubes do. Sometimes damn identical with careful biasing. JFET stuff is very musical in the way it takes a hot signal. This pedal is a classic masterpiece.

[@harrisfrankou2368]

My Belle Epoch Deluxe goes into a Radial ABY and two cheap Joyo J Fet DI's ( Marshall and Fender ) it is amazing. It's my Favorite Pedal...I hate it off. I use the expression to keep the Pre on always and a low delay then use the EXP Pedal to tweak ( tip 3) It's always on and I follow Howard's Expression Pedal tips. It's my favorite pedal ever.

Never has a Hello Kitty Squier Strat been used to such great effect.

[@bluebreaker5930]

I’ve had the Epoch Deluxe for a couple months now. Can’t get enough of it. Can’t seem to move out of number one setting! Sounds soooooooooo good! I need to explore the other presets...........maybe......😏

[@colingrossbier1798]

Hey when are we gonna hear the epoch pre? Very curious about that. Thanks!

[@robb4340]

Awesome Tones and Subscribed!

[@jasonhutchison2050]

Love the tips! Thanks for making a true Mechanism of Music! (Not that my RAH or DLS aren't) . I've lusted after an Echoplex for years... Got it and then some!

[@jeffloucks2120]

Dammit I still need this !

[@mikemorrisonmusic]

Did you get it yet?

[@AxeandYouShallreceive]

Super cool!! also, bonus shoegazey cover of Total Love by Teenage head for a short bit there (possibly unintentional?) :)

[@pushin68Hz]

Definitely my next delay!!

[@snowbord57]

anyone got any setting suggestions to try and cop those early EVH style delays? Love this pedal so far

[@EXHUMEnCONSUME]

Nice I have the same can of Air Duster and Nude Disintegrating Parachutist Woman, fuck yeah!

[@Farold_Haltermeyer]

I love this pedal's sound so much but EVERY DAMN SESSION I'm wishing for presets!!!

[@cgavin1]

In the spirit of the analogue ancestors.. I got myself a notebook and a biro pen. 😀

[@Farold_Haltermeyer]

@@cgavin1 I too have the wirebound tree skin filled with soundfart settings...but the audience (and drummer) don't appreciate my mid-set flip'n'fiddles ;)

[@KestrelJo]

Would you recommend the Belle after fuzz and in front of all the rest of the dirt, or somewhere in between certain types of dirt?

[@strat3]

Bluebird Jo I'd run the Belle Dlx after most dirt and fuzz. Only run into dirt if it's a light amp style overdrive. I'm running into our Foundation Overdrives here to get the sound of Echoplex into cranked tube amp.

[@okaytastic6691]

I assume you can have the preamp on all the time in buffered bypass?

[@patricklandfair4945]

You are correct sir

[@dyangordon6151]

I'm running various fuzzs (axis fuzz or a modded dba apocalypse clone {both pedals I made} into the Epoch Deluxe into a red DSL atm...its really sweet!!!!

[@TobyNobleTV]

Can i use a footswitch rather than an expression pedal to go from slapback to medium delay times, as in this video, and if so what would you recommend?

[@nunoharris]

Hi. Are you using a Volume pedal or a wah pedal with the Belle Epoch deluxe? Thanks

[@Steakfinger]

It’s an expression pedal, no neither.

[@jamiegustkey2573]

That does kinda have that swerve D sound! Son of a mustang ford!! Or rave down- ✌🏻💀

[@jimsweetdog]

Love the basic sound on tip #3, desperate to hear what the sound is through single coil. So desperate I’ve ordered the DLS & Naga to complete the setup. This was an expensive 20 minutes on KZbin.

[@henkehakansson2004]

I have yet to see ANY EP-replica pedal that can make the EXACT Ray-Gun effect of the original. When self oscillating it should "chirp". Like Jimmy Page, and Tommy Bolin did way back. Examples: Billy Cobhams, "Quadrant 4" from his Spectrum album, or James Gangs "Standing In the Rain" intro (that one is epic EP3). Also JImmy Page during Page & Plants "Morrocco" excursions live video footage in the 90s. And of course live, on his reendition of "Whole Lotta Love" where he lets his Theremin into a Echoplex and goes ballistic with it during the midde trippy psychedelic section... They're all there on KZbin or Spotify. It ain't "the most detailed one yet" pedal of the EP3 if they can't do that. It's a huge part of the old original ones features.

[@tommyharrisjr7338]

DANG. I just bought the Dunlop echoplex. This Belle deluxe is str8 🔥. Oh I'm getting THIS

[@rocxNroll]

15:39 whats that?!

[@theyearoftherat]

i thought that was the catocaster?

[@dcap4545]

BUDGIE!

[@coldacre]

crazy to think that a few weeks after this video he resigned from Catalinbread

[@antoniofalanga5846]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah

[@thesjkexperience]

Do you ever have problems with those little guys chewing on your cables?

[@cmatty72]

You wanna cut my hair!

[@KrisCadwell]

"It's not even that much of a tip." That's what she said, hu huhu.

[@evankeal]

What expression pedal is that please?

[@Jaysteenn]

Dunlop expression pedal he uses in his demos.
