Description

The Strymon El Capistan V2 dTape Delay Pedal is in New condition and made by Strymon , it is a great Pedal Delay dTape V2 Capistan El Strymon Guitar Effect Pedal- 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… . Available from Just Pedals for only £ 359 The age of tape As vintage as it gets. Before the introduction of digital stompboxes the delay or slapback effect had to be produced through actual tapes. One tape would record what was being played and the other would play that recording moments after producing what we now call… delay! Unlike digital stompboxes which retain the same tone forever old school tapes would continually wear down which significantly altered the sound of the delay. El Capistan pays homage to this with one of the most unique and powerful tools youll ever see on a delay stompbox – the Tape Age dial. This beauty changes the voicing of the effect from that of a sparkling new tape to that of one which has been used for years. The result? Possibly the most dynamic and addictive delays ever. Go from a clean punchy voicing to a haunting warble simply by flicking the dial. Immersive control And then theres the rest of the dials. Youve got your standard Time Mix and Repeats to help you shape the nature and intensity of the delay. This is alongside the premium new spring reverb built into this pedal. Then theres the Wow and Flutter knob which takes all the different details and quirks of the moving parts of old tape echo machines and puts them into a single control. So it gives you the ability to determine how many wobbles and pitch modulations you inject into the overall delay effect. This again imitates how an analogue tape echo would respond (or change its response) over time. Finally the Tape Head and Mode switches give you the option to select how many virtual tape heads youre running the effect through. New and improved Out with the old. In with the new! This may be a vintage-style pedal but this new version has some superb modern improvements. Firstly MIDI implementation through the EXP/MIDI jack means you can add further control changing different parameters with MIDI commands – ideal for live shows. JFET circuitry has been added to the input jack to give it an even more analogue feel as well as excellent dynamics. Finally the ARM DSP chip adds more processing power meaning a tighter more fluid response and less power consumption across the board.

Delay

A delay pedal is a type of guitar effects pedal used to create echoes or repetitions of the original guitar signal. It achieves this by capturing the input signal, delaying it by a specified amount of time, and then playing it back. Delay pedals are versatile tools that can add depth, dimension, and ambience to guitar tones, and they are widely used across various music genres, from rock and blues to ambient and experimental.

Here are the key features and functions of a delay pedal:

1. **Delay Time**: This control adjusts the amount of time between the original signal and the delayed signal. Longer delay times result in more pronounced echoes, while shorter delay times produce tighter, slapback-style effects.

2. **Feedback (or Regeneration)**: The feedback control determines the number of repeats or echoes produced by the delay pedal. Increasing the feedback setting results in multiple repeats, creating a cascading effect of echoes. Careful adjustment of the feedback control allows you to dial in the desired amount of repetition without overwhelming the original signal.

3. **Mix (or Blend)**: The mix control adjusts the balance between the original (dry) signal and the delayed (wet) signal. Higher mix settings emphasize the delayed signal, while lower mix settings maintain the clarity and integrity of the original signal. This control allows you to blend the delayed signal with the dry signal to achieve the desired balance and level of effect.

4. **Tap Tempo**: Some delay pedals feature a tap tempo function that allows you to set the delay time by tapping a button in rhythm with the music. This feature is particularly useful for synchronizing the delay effect with the tempo of a song or performance.

5. **Modulation**: Many delay pedals include modulation controls that add modulation effects, such as chorus or vibrato, to the delayed signal. Modulation can add warmth, depth, and movement to the delay effect, creating a more immersive and dynamic sound.

Delay pedals offer several creative uses and applications for guitarists:

– **Spatial Effects**: By adjusting the delay time, feedback, and mix controls, delay pedals can create spacious, atmospheric effects that simulate the sound of a room, hall, or cavern. These effects add depth and dimension to guitar tones, creating a sense of space and ambience.

– **Rhythmic Patterns**: By syncing the delay time with the tempo of a song using tap tempo or preset rhythmic subdivisions, delay pedals can produce rhythmic patterns and textures that enhance the groove and feel of a performance.

– **Texture and Movement**: By introducing modulation effects to the delayed signal, delay pedals can add texture, movement, and character to guitar tones. Modulated delays create swirling, shimmering effects that enrich the sound and captivate the listener’s ear.

Overall, delay pedals are versatile tools that offer a wide range of creative possibilities for guitarists. Whether used subtly to add depth and ambience or used more prominently to create rhythmic patterns and textures, delay pedals can enhance your guitar tone and inspire new musical ideas.
