Epoch Bias
By Catalinbread
An expanded EP-3 preamp pedal adding Bias and Filter controls beyond the original Epoch Boost circuit.
About this pedal
Building on the Epoch Boost’s EP-3 preamp emulation, Epoch Bias adds a Bias knob that simulates out-of-spec vintage parts for extra gain and body, plus a Filter control that blends the brighter early-run and darker later-run EP-3 preamp voicings.
