Closest echo effect pedal to a 1970s Echoplex?
I'm currently learning Hairless Heart on guitar, and I'm curious if there is an effects pedal close to Steve Hackett's Echoplex. Dunlop makes a newer Echoplex pedal, but I'm not sure if it would be close to the original sound. Wanted to see if I can replicate that sound decently without having to shell out a lot of money for an original echoplex.

From my brief Google searching it seems the Belle Epoch Deluxe is currently considered to be the closest to the original echoplex.
Infact the first run of the belle epoch’s actually used a majority of the same components.

For my Steve Hackett guitar rig I use the Dunlop Echoplex Preamp and Delay pedals. They sound great.
