Description

The Strymon El Capistan V2 dTape Delay Pedal is a machine which harkens back to the delay tones of old. Strymon have painstakingly developed the technology and innovated to bring you a plethora of vintage delay voicings with three tape head options consisting of multi single and fixed. The Tape Age dial is a particular showpiece. It allows you to change between the voicing of a brand new tape delay machine all the way to an old semi-functioning one. This produces some truly spectacular results giving you a crystal-clear sound all the way to a hauntingly beautiful stuttering effect (mimicking an aged tape). Building on the expansive control set of its predecessor this newer version of El Capistan comes with built-in spring reverb. After all delay and reverb are the ultimate dream team and this reverb adds some serious spice. Full MIDI compatibility has been added as well as a premium analogue JFET input circuit along with a mono/stereo switch. To top it all off the new ARM DSP chip gives this pedal even more processing power contributing further detail to your music and consuming less energy on your pedalboard. But this is just scratching the surface of El Capistans capabilities…
