El Capistan dTape Echo

El Capistan dTape Echo
DELAY
Description
The Strymon El Capistan is a digital tape echo emulation pedal that utilizes proprietary dTape technology to recreate the nuances of vintage magnetic echo machines. It features three distinct tape machine types—Fixed, Multi, and Single—each with three unique operational modes. The circuit allows for deep customization of tape characteristics, including wow and flutter, tape age, and tape crinkle. Additionally, the pedal includes a hidden spring reverb and a sound-on-sound looper with a dedicated tape splice function. This original version established the industry standard for realistic tape delay in a compact, durable aluminum chassis.
