El Capistan : Brilliant tape echo

11 years ago

This is among the best delay pedals I have ever used. From short slap-back delay, to lush long repeats, this pedal sounds fantastic, albeit a little expensive.

I love the reverb and broken tape machine effects - you can sound like you are playing through a vintage rack tape echo!

If you are going to use this with a power supply, make sure it is isolated - if you daisy-chain it among other pedals, you will experience a very annoying high-pitched hum, for example: I use Pedaltrain Voltos to power my board, and I had to buy a separate one for this, and my Mobius. So, if you use Voltos - be aware of this.

All in all, a great delay.
