Das Strymon El Capistan ist ein digitales Tape-Echo-Emulationspedal, das die proprietäre dTape-Technologie nutzt, um die Nuancen klassischer Magnet-Echogeräte zu reproduzieren. Es bietet drei verschiedene Tonbandmaschinentypen – Fixed, Multi und Single – mit jeweils drei einzigartigen Betriebsmodi. Die Schaltung ermöglicht eine tiefgreifende Anpassung der Bandeigenschaften, einschließlich Wow und Flutter, Bandalterung und Bandknittereffekten. Zusätzlich verfügt das Pedal über einen versteckten Federhall und einen Sound-on-Sound-Looper mit einer speziellen Tape-Splice-Funktion. Diese ursprüngliche Version setzte den Industriestandard für realistisches Tape-Delay in einem kompakten, robusten Aluminiumgehäuse.

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.

Fusing classic BOSS octave tones with the latest tracking technologies, the BOSS OC-5 sets a new standard in octave pedal performance. Vintage mode provides a spot-on recreation of the legendary mono OC-2 from 1982, while Poly mode offers numerous enhancements for extended-range playing. And with the addition of an octave-up feature, a span of three octaves is now available for creative exploration. From fat, low mono sounds to octave-shifted chords and more, the OC-5 delivers the widest range, finest sound quality, and best playability in any octave stomp to date.

Plug into BigSky and instantly lift your sound into the stratosphere. The world below you fades into the distance, and you’re elevated into a glow of lush, glorious, radiant reverbs.

To create a reverb experience as natural, beautiful, and immersive as BigSky required tremendous feats of sound engineering and artistic imagination. Using the fundamentals of acoustical science as our beacon, we carefully studied and scientifically analyzed reverb technology from the past fifty years. We faithfully captured the essence of these classic sounds, and forged ahead to dream up our vision of reverbs from the future.

An A/B/Y splitter, DI box, 2-channel mixer, and clean booster all in one, the Fishman AFX Pocket Blender Mini packs a serious amount of utility into a bite-size box. Perfect for Fishman acoustic-electric guitar systems with an onboard mic and an under-saddle pickup, the AFX Pocket Blender splits your TRS cable’s tip and ring outputs into one of the four switchable A/B/Y combinations that you can instantly swap between using the footswitch. Even better, this pedal’s four level faders (two for each signal) on the input mixer make it a breeze to construct two vastly different presets comprised of your combined tip and ring signals. Lastly, this little pedal also comes equipped with several utility features, including a balanced DI output, A/B/Y output, and ground lift toggle to smooth over your setup when you’re onstage.
