Jumikael « A different story: very disappointed! »
Published on 03/07/14 at 14:09As always with Strymon, the finish is superb and the machine gives a good impression of solidity.
UTILIZATION
As I did not have to worry immediately understand the operation of a Timeline or Brigadier (with its secondary functions) as I had a little more trouble with this model, however the interesting features. I do it found nothing intuitive contrary to what is said in another view, quite the contrary. But I confess that I have little knowledge about the tape echoes.
SOUND QUALITY
So it may be a matter of taste. But just before I had a Superdelay Empress that enchanted me and which I foolishly separated on a whim. With the Empress, all flowed naturally, editing was simple, and all the sounds were intelligible, distinct and beautiful.
On El Capistan, I have not managed to amuse myself for a moment. Worse, I have not managed to find one satisfying sound. There as a "veil" on the Strymon delays. it tends to embellish apparently sound, but in my case, it ended up tired. I find it disturbing side is even more present on the El Capistan delays than other brand. In addition, I find that the three functions of El Cap, one is drinking. And there was a big lack of understanding in rehearsals, no matter the settings (failed model? Config 'not fit?)
So I do not know, maybe by dint of having heard so much good I was expecting too much of this delay.
OVERALL OPINION
Used fairly long, I am rapidly removed without being convinced. I suspected he fell on a failing model to say ...
I liked him a beast multi Zoom effect received the same day. I had tons and tons of delays. Almost all what you might think, but really, I have rarely been so disappointed!
I would add though that they do not care about the mouth of the Strymon in world: have to buy or make a switch to save a favorite preset miserable, this is clearly abuse! El Cap for me is not worth a single second price. A look into opportunity after having tried.
