Strymon El Capistan dtape Echo guitar EFX

$349.00

The El Capistan is one of the most flexible and musically satisfying tape-echo emulations available in pedal form. It recreates the feel and unpredictability of classic tape delays — from clean slapback to decaying, saturated echoes — while letting you control tape-age, wow & flutter, and even tape-bias or “wear” effects for vintage character.
