Experience the dreamy sound of a classic ‘60s single head tape echo, complete with the harmonic richness of the accompanying tube preamp. Initially inspired by our long history of research into tape-based echo designs, we brought it to the next level after the recent acquisition of a pristine tube-based unit that was extensively modified by one of the most storied gear techs of the last fifty years. The result is the most inspiring tape echo ever crammed into a small form factor, positively brimming with the gooey magic that only tape-based manipulations and imperfections can create.
Highlights:
Two authentic preamp voicing options reproduced through meticulous tube modeling techniques.
Our proprietary dTape system, developed for El Capistan, allows precise replication of tape echo characteristics such as tape condition, capstan slippage, the mechanical effects of motors and more.
Record Level feature provides three unique and tailored tape saturation settings at the flip of a switch.
Mechanics reproduces motor and mechanical component fluctuations, allowing for truly gorgeous, organic stereo modulation effects unlike anything you’ve ever heard.
Discrete stereo operation for independent processing of the left and right inputs.
Mono-to-Mono, Mono-to-Stereo and Stereo-to-Stereo back panel switch.
True Stereo In and Out via TRS jacks to make connections easy.
Full MIDI integration: save up to 300 presets, real-time parameter control and more.
TRS MIDI/Expression pedal jack allows easy control over most pedal parameters.
Integrated USB-C connection for firmware updates and MIDI control.
Premium analog JFET input circuit ensures superb responsiveness.
Power supply: 9VDC, center negative, 250mA minimum. (Adapter sold separately.)
Dimensions: 11.43 cm deep x 4.32 cm wide x 5.59 cm tall
