I have owned several of these period Maestro EP-3's, and this one is by far in the best cosmetic shape for it's age. There is really nothing else that provides the warm echoes but also the advantage of the great preamp that (to me) is a bonus in this design. I used it with my vintage Marshall plexi, a Klon Centaur and Les Paul 'burst, and it is definitely the combination that provides the warmth and color of that period--think Pagey, or perhaps (with a Strat) Eric Johnson. I will inclu...de 2 new spare tape cartridges as well as a suitable round footswitch. As it has been a while since I had it serviced the transport is a bit noisy and could use some lube, cleaning and TLC (but of course with a loud amp like mine you wouldn't notice!). Hate to let it go but as I am newly retired I need to downsize my large collection of gear. If you have any questions please ask prior to purchase--thank you. PayPal only please--all sales final.
