YESSS!!!!!
Sounds very interesting….love tape echo
Holy Crap! There it is!
This will be replacing something on my board for sure!
This looks great! I am looking forward to doing a A\B test with this delay and the Empress Vintage Modified Superdelay!!
Awesome! I cannot wait to hear it. My Brigadier needs a new neighbor.
I am really hoping for:
1) Complex dirty repeats (not just a simple low pass filter). I have wondered how it would be to effectively reduce the sample bit-depth (or sample freq) with each repeat, sum these lower resolution repeats with some “random” noise (dither or perhaps color a bit like an echoplex)and then send to the expected LP filter.
2) The ability for the repeats to have greater than unity gain when the repeat knob is at 100%. It’s pure analog-feedback delight when the you max the repeat knob on an old tape delay! The output grows with no additional input other than the repeats.
I just got the Bluesky pedal and I LOVE it! You lads are amazing! Hope this new delay pedal is full of analog dirt found in a real tape delay. Funny how hard it is to make a super clean 24-bit AFE+ADC+DSP+DAC sound dirty in the right way ;).
Cheers boyz!
i love love love my blue sky sooooo much! cannot wait for this new pedal….i am completely hooked on strymon!
[...] we will be releasing our El Capistan dTape™ Echo. To capture the full experience and complexity of a tape echo machine, every last tape system [...]
When is the release date?
We gotta hear it!
@Gerry – we’re working on audio and video samples now, stay tuned!
@ G.Davis – we’re busy putting the finishing touches on El Capistan, we’re expecting to ship within a couple weeks.
I would pay up to $2,000 for a good rack unit that has analog dry mixes, stereo outputs, and fast MIDI switching. Maybe you could offer two racks units:
1) Reverb and delay combo would KILL. Basically, a Bluesky, Brigadier and the El Capistan in a single rack unit. All parameters programable, FAST switching MIDI, stereo outputs, updates via USB, internal switching AC supply. Make it the finish of the El Capistan pedal ;).
2) Modulation rack unit. All parameters programable, FAST switching MIDI, stereo outputs, updates via USB, internal switching AC supply.
Your signal chain and DSP sounds better than the other modelers!! Interested in releasing a rack unit!?!?!?
Also add:
Continuous midi controllers and trailing off effects.
just a quick question… is there any control over dotted eighth/quarter/etc notes from the tap tempo like there is on the brigadier?
I’m really interested in either the Brigadier or the El Capistan………hopefully the demos will show the differences?
P.S.
Fun with my Strymon toys:
1)If you run a muff-style fuzz into an Orbit Flanger you can get a KILLER Ernie Isley “Who’s That Lady” tone!
2)Run a vibe pedal on slow speed into a Blue Sky in shimmer mode and it’s ambient heaven!
