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…

Delay Pedals

Delay records the incoming signal for a chosen interval and repeats it after the original note. Feedback returns repeats to the delay line, while tone, filtering, modulation and saturation determine whether echoes remain clear, darken progressively, wobble like tape or degrade like analogue bucket-brigade circuits. Delay time and rhythmic subdivisions govern the spacing and musical pattern of the repeats.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Delay

Delay is an effect that records the guitar signal and plays it back after a short period of time, creating an echo or repeat. By adjusting the time, feedback, and level, delay can add subtle depth and space or produce rhythmic, expressive repeats that enhance lead lines, ambient textures, and overall atmosphere.
