Catalinbread Belle Epoch Deluxe
$359 - A stereo pedal that faithfully reproduces the original Echoplex EP-3 specifications part for part – the only things missing are the record and playback heads – with a 24-bit high-fidelity digital delay line taking the place of the tape cartridge. A latching footswitch allows for momentary runaway repeats.

2. Greer Amps Lamplighter Optical Compressor
"The Lamplighter is the result of countless hours of tweaking, listening, and tweaking again. The idea is pretty simple—provide compression that doesn’t “step” on your tone like other compressors do, make it as transparent as possible, with a low noise floor, while allowing the effect to be present, and provide options that musicians the world over have asked for."

3. Stone Deaf FX Tremotron - Dual Analog Tremolo - $269
"A dual analog tremolo with tap tempo and MIDI connectivity. With individual controls of Depth, Rate and Wave Shape, Tremotron gives you the ability to set each tremolo at different speeds or automatically sync in time with each other using the same syncopations."

5. Keeley - D&M Drive ($229)
Designed in collaboration with the hosts of Youtube’s That Pedal Show. Both channels feature Level, Gain, and Tone controls, and a toggle switch lets you choose the order. Keeley used their popular Katana boost as a starting point for that side of the circuit, but the boost channel can go all the way into overdrive territory.
