About us:
“Birth”
Music Bliss came about in June of 2009, residing in a humble shop lot catering to music lessons and sales of instruments. As humble as it was, Music Bliss quickly grew to expand its range of products at a point in time where boutique products such as guitar effects pedals were on the rise.
“Bliss”
As the name implies, Music Bliss truly aims to consistently provide excitement with our choice of products. It didn’t take long for people and musicians to notice that, and thanks to the age of the Internet people began frequenting both our site and our physical store at a quick pace.
“Insistence”
We’re people pleasers, we don’t settle for less and we don’t do this just because “It’s Our Job”. Music Bliss has always insisted to recommend and obtain products that the people want. That is exactly how the store grew; from obtaining rare and boutique effects pedals for musicians to catering to pro audio systems for international schools and event companies.
“Rise”
Fast forward to 2019, Music Bliss has expanded to a Mega Showroom (Located in Petaling Utama, amidst of Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya, nearby Sunway and easily accessible through Old Klang Road as well as Puchong) with 3 separate floors for every product category.

Was thinking about this 3 hours ago. Thanks for the comparison
This is actually pretty handy. I have a H&K Deluxe 40. So was nice to hear what you're getting out of it.
You guys always do a great job thanks.
Thanks for the demo. I think what you said just about summed up the differences. Cheers! 👍
Great demo, clearly shows the differences between these pedals.
Well done. I never got around to experimenting with the dip switches. Basically forgot they exist. Now I have a weekend project.
Excellent comparison once again. My EP Booster is on the way. Thanks for the video.
Great comparison! Surprised how sweet the Dunlop sounds.
Very sweet & velvet Dunlop Echoplex Preamp ! Love the 10 or 11 dB too
this channel convinced me to buy a boss flanger and i've never looked back
on the flanger. i do look back at the channel a lot
Sweet! Can be used as my solo mode pedal.
The Dunlop sounded very nice. String definition improved. It'd be nice with my Echoplex Delay but I already have an EP clone that gets the job done.
EP good in front of the crunch channel.
I liked the Dunlop and I already have the Echoplex delay which I really like. I was set to pull the trigger on an EP Booster until I heard this demo.
A perfect demo
great review and great beard
I've had both these pedals and sent back the echo Plex pedal and kept the SP boost. I just thought the SP added a lot more thickness, articulation really smooth top end with Zero ice pick and the bottom was enhanced without any flab as was the meds. I haven't messed with the dip switches inside but now my curiosity is aroused so I think I'm going to look at that. Thank you for the Fantastic upload and I really love your playing and your presentation is spot on man! Do subscriber and fan and I've already shared your videos to several other buddies that ended up buying one of the SPs one of the ecoplex pedals and everybody is incredibly happy! You do a great job my man!
Cheers man! Also we're moving most of our English language content with our host over to a new channel!
Do show some love & subscribe! Link right here:

To my ears the Dunlop sounds better in the loop and the EP Boost sounds better in front of the amp. Nice comparison!
Have you tried the epoch boost? Curious how you feel they compared.
Would love to hear how the dunlop compares to catalinbread epoch boost
Xotic makes the sound fuller and slightly darker
The Echoplex colors the sound less, and in the loop it does not change the timbre coloring at all.
Crunch Channel with Xotic sounds more collected with a good mid-range focus
Xotic for me
Yeah, I just pulled the trigger on the Xotic and am just waiting for it to arrive. It’s an easy choice seeing as how the echoplex doesn’t even get to unity until you push it to 8 of 9. That seems like a design flaw to me; 90% of its range cuts signal and nearly makes it useless as a boost
interesting, they are not that similar as one might expect. good demo, thanks
I maintain it should be your first pedal and never in the loop from years of personal usage.
Also I personally would never max out the dunlop.
Cool story. Thanks for sharing.
Music Bliss Malaysia haha!
Sounds great in the loop of some amps .
I have a Marshall origin 50 head
In the fax loop > mxr mini booster>Dunlop ecoplex 101> Dunlop echoplex delay. Love it.
I have the ep booster going into the front of the amp. At the end of the chain after a tummnus deluxe and a Seymour Duncan pickup booster
Hi from 2023! the best echoplex pedal is now the FX Teacher Tape Preamp
Play them side by side
Really great video! You crammed all the pertinent possiblities into 8 minutes - I am all the wiser thx to watching it. Before, I really had no idea what they did , ubiquitous às they tend to be.
Well done .
I have a problem, when i activate the pedal it mutes everything. So: when I have it off I have sound, but when I turn the pedal on, the sound disappears
what kind of power supply are you using?
Boooooooooost

The exotic ep booster is much closer to a real echoplex and I have owned many. The Dunlop does more to change the sound but that is NOT what a real echoplex ep3 preamp does to your tone. The real ep3 adds a little gain, girth and actually smooths out the top end. The Dunlop is nothing more than a cheap gain pedal.
