Digital delay to simulate the tape delays.
3 types of delay, three modes.
Mono stereo output. Tap tempo.

UTILIZATION

Nothing is easier than to walk the machine, turn the knobs that's all!
Full of parameters but very intuitive.
Warning! Instructions on the web only and it is useful! Strymon on the site can be recovered a blank sheet on which you can record your favorite settings eight (or more yaka print:)). Good idea Mr Strymon.

SOUND QUALITY

Kaamelott to parody:
Here, there's jellyfish, insects. Here, there's the glandus, the messenger boy. Here, there's normal guys. Here, there's knights. Here, there's kings and princes. And after, well above, there's Mr. Strymon and "El Capistan!"
Signal / noise ratio of 115 db!
The sound is a pure magic! Not a sound parasite, not a breath! Nothing! That tile! Nothing!
La Bestia then claims to be digital and you could blame him given the usual pats who usually sound the death knell so the sound is cold!
Here's all the opposite! In the heat you want in here and given the name it is rather "mucho calor caramba!"
In short the sound is incredible purity and repetitions that can be sharper or more blurred, are you crying on your pedals so qu'c'est beautiful!
The settings allow you to simulate even a strip crumpled, wrinkled middle destroy you see! If it does not c'n'est professionalism, then what is it?

OVERALL OPINION

Finally I hesitated a lot with the timeline from the same manufacturer but a priori there are more types of delays but less time settings and as I was boiling hot on the time vintage of the demo I decided to "El Capistan ".
The only downside is the stereo that is rather a personal dual mono output but I have a Carbon Copy left and right Capistan El mono and it is the bomb!
knob "Flutter & Wow" ... I love you! The chorus that you deliver them makes me Kifer too!
Finally, listen to the demos on the site Strymon is super well done and very realistic!
One thing is certain, I ordered a deluxe memory boy that I returned because it was so rotten illico but now I'm not about to return it and I'll probably buy the optional foot pedal that allows you to have two "El Capistan". :)
