Xotic EP Booster vs Dunlop Echoplex Preamp Shootout

[@JDODify]

This is actually pretty handy. I have a H&K Deluxe 40. So was nice to hear what you're getting out of it.

[@iskandarzakaria8799]

Was thinking about this 3 hours ago. Thanks for the comparison

[@kesamek8537]

Great demo, clearly shows the differences between these pedals.

[@mitchj.9113]

this channel convinced me to buy a boss flanger and i've never looked back

[@mitchj.9113]

on the flanger. i do look back at the channel a lot

[@captainzeb1969]

Excellent comparison once again. My EP Booster is on the way. Thanks for the video.

[@mattgilbert7347]

The Dunlop sounded very nice. String definition improved. It'd be nice with my Echoplex Delay but I already have an EP clone that gets the job done. EP good in front of the crunch channel.

[@rizarizkianugerah3873]

Very sweet & velvet Dunlop Echoplex Preamp ! Love the 10 or 11 dB too

[@immortalgram]

To my ears the Dunlop sounds better in the loop and the EP Boost sounds better in front of the amp. Nice comparison!

[@Moigle1]

Great comparison! Surprised how sweet the Dunlop sounds.

[@mantashaft]

Well done. I never got around to experimenting with the dip switches. Basically forgot they exist. Now I have a weekend project.

[@brucemillar]

Thanks for the demo. I think what you said just about summed up the differences. Cheers! 👍

[@robertshamansky1912]

I liked the Dunlop and I already have the Echoplex delay which I really like. I was set to pull the trigger on an EP Booster until I heard this demo.

[@evankeal]

I maintain it should be your first pedal and never in the loop from years of personal usage.

[@evankeal]

Also I personally would never max out the dunlop.

[@MusicBlissMalaysiaTV]

Cool story. Thanks for sharing.

[@shakesquire84]

Music Bliss Malaysia haha!

[@pippydog28]

Sounds great in the loop of some amps .

[@loganknapp8905]

I have a Marshall origin 50 head In the fax loop > mxr mini booster>Dunlop ecoplex 101> Dunlop echoplex delay. Love it. I have the ep booster going into the front of the amp. At the end of the chain after a tummnus deluxe and a Seymour Duncan pickup booster

[@Jakal-pw8yq]

I've had both these pedals and sent back the echo Plex pedal and kept the SP boost. I just thought the SP added a lot more thickness, articulation really smooth top end with Zero ice pick and the bottom was enhanced without any flab as was the meds. I haven't messed with the dip switches inside but now my curiosity is aroused so I think I'm going to look at that. Thank you for the Fantastic upload and I really love your playing and your presentation is spot on man! Do subscriber and fan and I've already shared your videos to several other buddies that ended up buying one of the SPs one of the ecoplex pedals and everybody is incredibly happy! You do a great job my man!

[@DSilvergun]

You guys always do a great job thanks.

[@Vikkk1978]

Xotic makes the sound fuller and slightly darker The Echoplex colors the sound less, and in the loop it does not change the timbre coloring at all. Crunch Channel with Xotic sounds more collected with a good mid-range focus Xotic for me

[@CARLOSVSCARLOS]

Yeah, I just pulled the trigger on the Xotic and am just waiting for it to arrive. It’s an easy choice seeing as how the echoplex doesn’t even get to unity until you push it to 8 of 9. That seems like a design flaw to me; 90% of its range cuts signal and nearly makes it useless as a boost

[@ZackPomerleau]

Have you tried the epoch boost? Curious how you feel they compared.

[@justinpurba]

Sweet! Can be used as my solo mode pedal.

[@solal94]

Hi from 2023! the best echoplex pedal is now the FX Teacher Tape Preamp

[@yonedelcastillo4491]

Play them side by side

[@CarlosMorales-zv2qs]

Would love to hear how the dunlop compares to catalinbread epoch boost

[@gwEmbassy]

interesting, they are not that similar as one might expect. good demo, thanks

[@ianparker5007]

A perfect demo

[@lueysixty-six7300]

Really great video! You crammed all the pertinent possiblities into 8 minutes - I am all the wiser thx to watching it. Before, I really had no idea what they did , ubiquitous às they tend to be. Well done .

[@MenkeriosAndemicael]

great review and great beard

[@Endumattis]

I have a problem, when i activate the pedal it mutes everything. So: when I have it off I have sound, but when I turn the pedal on, the sound disappears

[@GratefulGrove]

what kind of power supply are you using?

[@chrisjones8592]

The exotic ep booster is much closer to a real echoplex and I have owned many. The Dunlop does more to change the sound but that is NOT what a real echoplex ep3 preamp does to your tone. The real ep3 adds a little gain, girth and actually smooths out the top end. The Dunlop is nothing more than a cheap gain pedal.
