THE CONTROLS
Mix: This control replicates the functionality of the Echo Volume control on the EP-3 and uses the same basic
passive mixer circuit. Set at minimum to get dry only. Set at maximum to get wet only. You’ll nd that you’ll
probably want to run the Mix control lower when running the Belle Epoch into an overdriven amp or a dirt pedal
due to the fact that the signals will be compressed and therefore bringing up the level of the repeats.
Tone/Record Level: This control sets how hard the “tape” or delay line is hit. It does not aect your dry signal and
only aects the initial rst repeat. Turning the knob while repeats are playing will not aect them. In practice,
you’ll want to use this control in conjunction with the Mix control to set your balance for the delayed sound vs.
your dry signal. You may nd that you will end up presetting the Mix control (typically from 9:00 to noon) and
controlling how present the repeats are with the Tone/Record Level knob.
With the Tone/Record Level knob set low, the initial repeat will be very quiet, thin, and airy. When set high, the
initial repeat will be very loud, thick, and slightly distorted. If you like the sound with the Tone/Record Level set
high but want the repeats to be quieter, just back down the Mix knob. Conversely, if you like the airy, light tone of
the knob set low, but want it louder in the mix, just turn the Mix control up. Use both of these controls together
to get your sound and balance! Noon is a good starting point for the Tone/Record Level and then you can adjust
it up or down to get what you’re looking for.
