Strymon El Capistan Plugin

Feed audio into El Capistan, and all the warm and distinctive qualities and subtle nuances of vintage tape echo instantly combine to create an unmistakable atmosphere.

Everything from classic slapback echoes to psychedelic feedback explorations have stunning richness and depth, responding to each note and each turn of a knob in a musically-inspiring way.

Turn up the repeats for organic delay feedback with just the right amount of grit, or dial in some spring reverb to further enhance the sense of space.
