Harmony Central reviews Lex Rotary

Posted by Ethan

Lex Rotary effects pedalPhil O’Keefe over at Harmony Central recently had a chance to put our Lex Rotary rotating speaker pedal through it’s paces. Check out his review here!

“I’ve heard a lot of simulators over the years that have tried to nail the sound of a rotating speaker, and the Lex is right up there at the top of that list.”

“If you’re the type of player who likes to ‘work the switch’ a lot rather than leave it at one speed all the time, you’re going to really like the Lex. It does those all-important transitions between speeds beautifully.”

“The preamp drive is pretty remarkable in terms of the accuracy of its tone and vibe.”

Dinosaur rockers need tape echo too!

Posted by Ethan

The guys over at Dinosaur Rock Guitar recently took an in-depth look at El Capistan dTape Echo. We’re happy to report that they were very impressed! Here are a few quotes from the review:

 

El Capistan dTape Echo“Having an El Capistan is as if you went out and bought all the best vintage echo machines, and you can run them anywhere from pristine, to road-worn.”

“The El Capistan is a real treat that is guaranteed to put a smile the face of anyone who grew up loving tape echo. We compared it to real tube and solid state tape echo machines, and were able to authentically reproduce those sounds.”

“Strymon truly achieved their goal of offering the discerning player a pedal that accurately emulates the performance and sound quality of many of the great tape echo machines of the past. Better still, they did it at a reasonable price!”

 

Dinosaur Rock GuitarBe sure to read the entire review over at Dinosaur Rock Guitar. They include an interesting history of tape echo machines onward into digital delays, onward to El Capistan!
