Poor
El pedal Capistan Strymon, is an emulation of different types of rooms Echo (echoplex, copycat, space station, etc.) ..
the original echo chambers have major drawbacks: not found / expensive, fragile, unreliable
unlike his illustrious model is solid and compact digital.
level functions: 2 footswitch (bypass and tap tempo)
5 knobs dual functions:
- Time / spring reverb
- Mix / boost - cut
- Tape age / low end contour
- Repeats / bias tape
- Wow & flutter / tape crinkle
Switch 1: tape head
A switch: mode
level connectivity: a mono input
2 outputs left & right
A connection to switch or expression pedal (favorite
the expression pedal can be assigned to any fader!! I think that's the only pedal that offers this possibility!
for food lovers here are some specifications from the manufacturer ...
- Algorithms hand dTaP designed to offer thorough and nuanced recreations
systems, tape echo.
- Three tape machines in one: stationary (a fixed reading head), multi (heads
read multiple) and single (recording head sliding)
- Each machine has three modes for tape echo options
extremely flexible
- Five adjustment band shape and tone knobs: Time, Mix, Age band
Again, Wow & Flutter
- Five "hidden" to polish your buttons vast: Crinkle Tape, Tape Bias,
Contour Low End, Spring Reverb, + / - 3 dB Boost / Cut
- Its the sound mode with instant Splice Tape and delete in bulk. a short looper!
- Stereo output, high input impedance mono
- Entry for expression pedal control with selectable on any
what button
- Connect switch our preferred option to save a preset Favorite
- Tap Tempo and Bypass switches to settle the secondary functions
- True Bypass Switching (electromechanical relay)
- Select "tracks" on an analog with high quality buffered bypass
- Press and hold to Tap the feedback becomes infinite!
- 9V DC negative center. Minimum of 250mA
- Made in the United States
UTILIZATION
this looks like a gas plant, but what works!
I urge you to read the user manual (translated by me ...)
https://www.fichier-pdf.fr/2011/08/18/elcapistan-usermanual-fr/elcapistan-usermanual-fr.pdf
otherwise you will have access to only half of available functions and it would be a shame ...
handling of different settings is intuitive if you understand the following operation: simultaneously hold down the TAP and BYPASS to set the secondary functions ...
potentiometer to define what is assigned to the pedal:
Hold down the TAP, by plugging the power supply and then turn the knob you want ...
you can also let the rehearsal when the pedal is bypassed: to do: keep down the BYPASS, by plugging the power supply and wait a few seconds ...
you are holding nine different delays and possibilities will very extensive!
the pedal is the icing on the cake, depending on the selected potentiometer, you can DePace the read head, the tape speed, get an infinite feedback, clear sound mixer / effect, age band, chorus l effect, ....
the pedal reacts differently on each type of delay selected ...
if you hold down the tap, it's like you turn the feedback thoroughly! the effect disappears naturally if the APR is released ...
ha yes, the APR is of course to define the intervals of repetitions ...
* Publishing of sound effects or is it easy?
if you understood what I said above ... Yes!
* The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
the manual is very clear and complete, no need of having an engineer to understand, there are even settings in the end pdf
but hey, saw the possibilities, it is inevitably a delay less simple three-button ... but it's still very intuitive (there are no menus and sub menus in ...)
SOUND QUALITY
marking in the first place is the beautiful sound of this delay: hot air, natural!
rather listen to ...
you have in your hands, the best of both worlds: a great delay sound tape without the disadvantages (high price, change bands, fragile and unreliable)
over the almost endless possibilities ...
you can use it on stage without fear and to share with your audience what nirvana sound!
you control at any time, the characteristics of your sound ...
brief is happiness in its purest form! (And I mean it ...)
OVERALL OPINION
* How long have you use it?
1 week
* + The
The sound! not breathing and more!
assignable expression pedal.
Elementary & Secondary functions
extensive opportunities (over 20 combined functions).
the price / quality ratio (justified) is the same price as EHX deluxe memory man
l * les -
Euuuuuu .... a small switch to access the second settings? it's greed ..
* Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I have 3 other delays: Boss DD3, Boss RV3, EHX Deluxe Memory Man ... El Capistan surpass them by far ...
* How would you rate the quality / price?
it's not cheap, but worth it ... 280 euros ...
* With experience, you do again this choice? ...
