El Capistan faithfully emulates the typical tape echo sound with all its warmth, saturation and natural compression. And if you want, you can adjust all of its ills as well. You can now carry a high-quality magnetic tape simulation with you at all times in a compact chassis suitable for pedalboards.
Faithful simulation is made possible by powerful SHARC digital processing and carefully developed dTape technology. The effect offers a wide range of settings. Three types of tape echos are available, each with three modes. So you can decide whether you want the sound of a carefully tuned machine, or instead the erratic and unstable sound of a machine ripe for repair. You can use the controls to adjust both the age of the tape and the typical wobble and flutter.
Of course, there's the durable construction, stereo output, excellent sound quality, true bypass and Tap Tempo function.
