About the El Capistan
The Strymon El Capistan simulates three types of tape echo — single head, multi-head, and lo-fi — with all the warmth, wow/flutter, tape saturation, and self-oscillation characteristics of vintage tape machines like the Echoplex and Space Echo. Its Tape Age knob dials in everything from pristine modern tape to degraded vintage reel sound. David Gilmour's echoed solos and Tom Petty's slapback country tones live in El Capistan territory.
