Strymon really knows how to pack a ton of features into a very easy-to-use package! The El Capistan is compact and full of bold tone. I especially like the "tape age" function that allows you to dial in the tonal qualities of the repeats to sound like new or old tape. Most of the time, I'll have this knob at about 2 or 3 o'clock for just a bit more than average natural darkness to the decaying repeats.And with this pedal hooked up in stereo to two amps, get ready! The lush flavors become ten times more pleasing to hear! Especially good with the multi toggle engaged!
It amazes me that Stymon has been able to produce digital effects that sound so organic and full! The tightness and boldness of the overall sound is astonishing, and the effects are intuative and a just plain out fun to use!

The new version of El Capistan is here, so join Strymon's Sean Halley as he uses a bunch of different guitars and playing styles to show off a number of different delay and echo textures and tones, and see why the new version keeps all that you loved about the original El Cap while adding a host of new features.
When we decided to develop an effects pedal that delivers the sound and feel of our favorite tape echo machines, we knew we must relentlessly study and faithfully recreate every last nuance. We spent months in the Strymon sound design labs with an intense focus on capturing the warm, saturated, distinctive qualities of tape echo machines. The result is our hand crafted dTape™ technology. Utilizing a ridiculously powerful SHARC DSP, every drop of processing power is harnessed.
El Capistan provides three different tape machine types in one, each with three unique modes. With ten parameters to tweak, you get extensive control over tape quality, machine health and tone shaping. Go from the sound of a pristine, studio-quality tape machine to the heavily fluctuating sound of a machine in need of service. Get the full bodied sound of fresh tape all the way to the gnarled qualities of worn out tape. Because it's DSP driven, you get a range of tape experiences unattainable with a traditional tape machine. All of this without the headaches of tape machine maintenance and repair!
The Philosophy:
We want to build products with no compromises. We want to push the limits of technology in music. We want to redefine what is possible with music gear. We want to use exceptionally great components and ridiculously powerful processors. We want to make gear that sounds better than anything you've ever heard. We want to make our customers happy. We want you to be inspired to create amazing music.
The People:
We're a small company and we'd like to stay that way. We do this because we want to create gear that is fun to design and fun to play. We want to experiment and try new things. We don't want to work for the man. We don't like authority. We don't want to grow up. We want to work hard and have fun doing it.
The History:
Damage Control was founded in 2004 with the release of our line of tube-driven effects pedals, which earned critical acclaim and became favorites among guitarists across the globe. In 2009 we teamed up with Strymon to begin co-developing products, and the rest is history.
