Catalinbread Epoch Boost
The Epoch Boost is a "mastering pedal" because it sounds like your base tone, but sculpted to perfection by a mastering engineer. This is accomplished by employing the same internal circuitry as a real EP-3, from the NOS Orange Drop capacitors to the output mixer stage that acts as a rudimentary frequency selector, it's all there. Catalinbread has taken the liberty of kicking the internal voltage all the way up to 22 volts, just like the original unit, giving you unparalleled headroom and clarity. Inside is included a switchable hi-Z input buffer if you'd like to use the Epoch Boost as your only pedal. The Boost control gives you just the EP-3 tone when rolled off, but adds up to 20dB of crystal-clear boost as you crank it.
- Up to 20dB sparkling, dynamic boost on tap.
- 22V shunt-regulated internal power supply---BYO 9V supply.
- NOS Sprague Orange Drop capacitors just like the original.
- Closest production JFET we could find to original TIS58.
- Biased a tad hotter than the stock unit for extra warmth.
- Internally switchable hi-Z input buffer restores high end loss due to cable capacitance.
- Super-sharp embossed enclosure.
- Accepts 9VDC center-negative power.
- Controls: Preamp, boost.
