The Strymon El Capistan is a tape echo delay pedal built around Strymon's hand-crafted dTape technology, developed to capture the warm, saturated character of vintage tape echo machines using a powerful SHARC DSP. It offers three tape machine types — Fixed, Multi and Single — each with three modes, and ten parameters covering tape quality, machine health and tone shaping, so you can dial in anything from a pristine studio tape machine to one that sounds worn out and in need of service. Crafted with love in the USA.
Highlights
- Three tape machines in one — Fixed (single fixed head), Multi (multiple playback heads) and Single (sliding record head) — each with three modes
- Five tape/tone-shaping knobs (Time, Mix, Tape Age, Repeats, Wow & Flutter), plus five hidden knobs (Tape Crinkle, Tape Bias, Low End Contour, Spring Reverb, +/-3dB Boost/Cut)
- Sound on Sound mode with instant tape splice and bulk erase — a built-in tape-style looper (20 seconds at slow speed, 10 seconds at fast speed)
- Press-and-hold Tap for Infinite Repeats; dedicated Tap Tempo and Bypass footswitches
- Expression pedal input with selectable control over any knob parameter; optional Favorite switch
- True Bypass or selectable Trails mode with Analog Buffered Bypass; 9V center-negative supply included, 250mA draw
