Capture the warm, organic pitch fluctuations and rich harmonic saturation of vintage tape echo systems with the Strymon El Capistan V1! Housed in a lightweight gunmetal gray anodized aluminum chassis built in the USA, this celebrated delay utilizes Strymon’s proprietary dTape technology to model three distinct tape machine configurations: Fixed (single playback head), Multi (multiple playback heads), and Single (sliding record head)—each offering three sub-modes for endless rhythmic echo possibilities. Dedicated controls for Time, Mix, Tape Age, Repeats, and Wow & Flutter provide intuitive tone shaping, while secondary "hidden" knobs unlock deep parameters including Tape Crinkle, Tape Bias, Low End Contour, integrated Spring Reverb, and a +/- 3dB output boost or cut. It even includes a Sound on Sound looper mode featuring instant tape splice and bulk erase functions.
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.
