A Cult Tape Echo, Reinvented by Strymon
Inspired by legendary tape machines from the 60s/70s (Echoplex, Space Echo), the El Capistan condenses the soul of tape echo into a robust and intuitive pedal. This second generation retains the original model's sonic signature while adding modernized electronics and advanced control options, delivering unparalleled stage reliability and studio flexibility.
For Whom? From Modern Pedalboards to Creative Studios
Guitarists, bassists, keyboardists, and producers oriented towards rock, indie, ambient, psychedelic, surf, or cinematic styles will find here an expressive, musical, and easy-to-recall delay. Tap tempo, MIDI sync, and stereo operation make it equally relevant on stage, in reamping, or on an effects bus. In line mode, it handles synths, drum machines, and effect loops without hesitation.
