Catalinbread Belle Epoch + Tape Echo w/ Tap Tempo Pedal

We are extremely pleased to announce the launch of the Belle Epoch +, our first compact delay with full tap tempo capabilities and a slew of other upgrades to our flagship tape echo simulator. Much R&D was implemented to make the Belle Epoch + the best version of itself that it could possibly be. Tapping in a beat couldn’t be easier; simply hold the footswitch to enter tap mode and hold it again to return to bypass mode. Apart from the tap tempo circuit, the Belle Epoch + just gives you more—more headroom, a redesigned Mix control, improved buffered bypass, increased delay time, and better impedance specs for rig integration. The preamp has been tweaked to provide a higher dynamic range with the same feel and response of the original Echoplex pre, giving you a more hi-fi sparkling tone that you’ve come to expect from the classic circuit. We’ve also expanded the feature set by offering three modes that correspond to wear on the virtual tape, from a pristine “fresh off the line” Echoplex to a dusty unit that’s been sitting in an attic for 40 years. Step into (and onto) the next generation of our classic echo unit!

An upgrade in every conceivable way over our original Belle Epoch, the Belle Epoch + gives you that classic Echoplex emulation with tap tempo capability, soft-touch switching, three different tape age programs, better bypass options, a more robust preamp and buffer, higher dynamic range and more delay time.
