New Old Stock The Strymon El Capistan dTape Echo pedal delivers the warm, complex, and richly textured sound of classic vintage tape delays in a rugged, pedalboard-friendly format. Clad in the limited Midnight Edition black finish, this pedal harnesses dedicated DSP to meticulously recreate three distinct tape machine architectures: Fixed Head, Multi Head, and Single Head. Each machine mode offers three distinct operational variations, covering everything from crisp studio slapback and rhythmic multi-tap echoes to immersive Sound on Sound looping.

Hands-on controls for Time, Mix, Tape Age, Repeats, and Wow & Flutter allow precise shaping of your repeats from pristine, studio-calibrated fidelity to degraded, warbly tape decay. Secondary hidden functions unlock even deeper tone sculpting, including a dedicated spring reverb, low end contour, tape bias, and tape crinkle adjustment. Equipped with stereo outputs, tap tempo, and expression pedal connectivity, this open-box pedal offers authentic analog tape character with tour-grade digital reliability.
