Strymon El Capistan dTape Echo Guitar Effects Pedal, Midnight Edition

A first for Strymon to create a limited run of some of their favourite pedals they’ve released over the years, each finished in a sleek black and white finish as dark as the midnight sky, complete with black knobs and a blacked-out box. Despite their minimalist styling, the sounds waiting to be released from these limited edition pedals are as colourful and inspiring as ever.

When Strymon decided to develop an effects pedal that delivers the sound and feel of their favourite tape echo machines, they spent months in the Strymon's sound design labs with an intense focus on capturing the warm, saturated, distinctive qualities of tape echo machines. The result is our handcrafted dTape™ technology. Utilizing a ridiculously powerful SHARC DSP, every drop of processing power is harnessed.
