Strymon El Capistan v1.0.0 [WiN]

Feed audio into El Capistan, and all the warm and distinctive qualities and subtle nuances of vintage tape echo instantly combine to create an unmistakable atmosphere.

Everything from classic slapback echoes to psychedelic feedback explorations have stunning richness and depth, responding to each note and each turn of a knob in a musically-inspiring way.

Turn up the repeats for organic delay feedback with just the right amount of grit, or dial in some spring reverb to further enhance the sense of space.

Magnetic Personalities

El Capistan provides three different tape machine types, each with extensive control over tape quality, machine health and tone shaping, all controlled by an intuitive user interface.

Go from the higher fidelity of a fresh-from-the-factory echo machine all the way to the heavily fluctuating sound of a road-worn unit in need of service, employing the full-bodied sound of fresh stock or the dark, gnarled and vibey qualities of worn out tape wherever you need them.
