Universal Audio EP-34
Little is documented about the Universal Audio EP-34. What the record shows is thin, and it all comes from one period source.
A 2011 item in Mix-Magazine (March 2011, p.25) mentions a "CP-34 Tape Echo". That is likely an OCR corruption of EP-34. The item describes a plug-in for Universal Audio's UAD-2 platform. According to that brief note, the plug-in offered warm tape-delay effects and specific behaviors drawn from the vintage EP-3 and EP-4 Echoplexes. It shipped as part of the UAD Software V. 5.7 release, or you could buy it separately at $199.
Past that listing, no specifications, production years or design details have surfaced. The EP-34 appears to have been a software emulation rather than a hardware unit, which fits Universal Audio's UAD-2 plug-in lineup of that era.

If you have more documentation - a manual, a review, a screenshot - the Archive would welcome it.
