Members cryptosonic Posted November 26, 2011 Members Share Posted November 26, 2011 I liked the El Cap quite a bit but for 300 bucks one can buy several other delays or build around 6. I don't miss it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IRG Posted November 26, 2011 Members Share Posted November 26, 2011 I don't recall any of the Mx delays doing what the El Cap can do, but of course there's a lot more of them, for versatility. Don't really miss mine either, but I don't miss the m9 either as well. Quite content with the iB Nova, all I really need I've decided. Well for now anyways.

Members sparkfriction Posted November 26, 2011 Members Share Posted November 26, 2011 i am just not a uber tape echo fan means i dont need so much options to fit the sound of a "tape" - or in toher words, other delays with tape delay emu are ok for me... i want a SKRECHO *w00t* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gtrwiz Posted November 26, 2011 Members Share Posted November 26, 2011 Best sounding delay I've ever used. Next to my Space Echo that is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted November 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 26, 2011 I dunno, the delay sounds good. no denying that. maybe meh was too harsh. But its still not blowing me away. the wow/flutter is pretty good sounding, doesn't get extreme enough for me... the crinkle so far isn't really doing much for me. Something like the skreddy kills on this aspect IMO. It has this dreamy floating modulation to it. My DIY echo base might even be more favorable for me. the tap tempo is goofy, it seems like it cuts out when you tap a new tempo in. Is that right or is that user error? it does have a distinct midrange in the repeats that the M5 can't match with any of its models. But in that respect the M5 has models the capistan can't match. the tone knob works well on the cap too anway... Imma go play with it some more...

Members IRG Posted November 26, 2011 Members Share Posted November 26, 2011 The El Cap also has a nice reverb built into it, might try that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that right or is that user error? yeah that's my one beef. OTOH it's probably the most accurate TT I've used yet, 2 clicks and you're good.

Members delayed delay Posted November 26, 2011 Members Share Posted November 26, 2011 When I had a Brigadier it did the same thing Still my absolute biggest complaint with the El Capistan.... makes NO sense to design it that way... They 'fixed' the issue with the Timeline, and I'm completely satisfied with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoboPimp Posted November 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 26, 2011 it just repeats the sound so... my DIY echobase is holding tough in this fight too the cap is more hifi than the echobase for sure but so far seems fuller/warmer than the M5 repeats. I dunno if its me but the analog delay w/mod model is working best with the M5 to match up. I will go back to the tape models in a bit... I dunno about the tap on the cap either, the lag/pause is buggin and M5 seems to have no prob with it, and I dont like the clicky switch so far. I like the clickless momentary kind... the echobase obviously has no tap tempo but seems to be the thickest, warmest of these three so far. need to try a shoot out at a gig heheh.

I'm impressed with you Robo; you seem to be giving the El Cap an honest, fair chance here. Kudos. If your DIY delay really seems to be holding up this well, I'd love to give one a shot; especially considering your words that it's the "thickest and warmest" of the 3. The El Cap was by far the most warm sounding delay I've ever played, so that definitely intrigued me. Have you messed around with all the secondary functions? The tape bias and low end contour knobs really REALLY help dial in the gooey warm tape delay. But I totally agree; the tap tempo is a major issue and if the Timeline hadn't fixed both issues (soft relay, signal cutting out while tapping), I wouldnt own a Strymon product right now as the Brigadier and Blue Sky were really lacking IMO.
