Strymon El Capistan dTape Echo

The El Capistan dTape Echo effects pedal actually delivers the sound and feel of your favorite vintage Tape Echo. In order to faithfully recreate every last tonal nuance, Strymon sound design labs relentlessly focused on capturing the warm, saturated, distinctive qualities of these vintage machines. The result is their hand-crafted, ''dTape technology'', which utilizes a ridiculously powerful SHARC DSP that aims every drop of processing power towards the task at hand.

El Capistan provides three different tape machine types in one, each with three unique modes- Fixed Head, Multi Head and Single Head. Ten tweakable parameters allow for extensive control over tape quality, machine health and tone shaping. Go from the sound of a pristine, studio-quality tape machine to the heavily fluctuating sound of a machine in need of service. Get the full bodied sound of fresh tape all the way to the gnarled qualities of worn out tape. Because it's DSP driven, you get a range of tape experiences unattainable with a traditional tape machine. All of this without the headaches of tape machine maintenance and repair!
