Well the honeymoon period is over and I still love the pedal although the are bloody expensive! It has some amazing sounds in there and whilst I don't think any pedal is going to nail 100% and old tape echo sound the El Cap does a great job for a gigging player. I do have my CMATMODS Deeelay back on my board too now which is a great basic delay pedal too, I love the clarity over the C.Copy. There are quite a few great delaysout there now, the Strymon El Cap and Brigadier, TC Elec Flashback and some of the EH pedals but I really like the El Cap.

I have heard nothing but good things about that delay pedal. Well except the price!  Sorry to hear that the other one broke. Enjoy that new pedal.

Yes they are expensive but seemingly well worth the cash,  :D

My CMATMODS Deeelay is great, the only reason it cr@pped out is because I lent it to my nephew and he went and plugged some unknown random power supply in and burnt the chips out. Matt (owner of CMATMODS) repaired it FOC even though it was 2 years out of warranty. how cool is that? It's a great pedal and very highly recommended.

That is what I call customer service with capitals!

I went and demoed a few delays yesterday and yes, I ended up walking out with the El Capistan. It's close enough to pay day for it to be OK (I think). It's an amazing pedal, incredibly flexible. I've found the demonstration videos on the Strymon site to be excellent too. Currently I'm experimenting with some very dirty slap back echo tones and I'm very happy. I've downloaded the manual and I'll work my way through that over the long winter evenings!

Again excellent service from the good people of Vintage and Rare Guitars. Having asked to demo the pedal I was asked, "What's your banjo of choice?" and was the given the option of picking any of the guitars, so I opted for a '72 Tele. I resisted the urge to ask to use the '61 Strat as I think they might have balked at that. ;) Once again that shop comes up trumps and I paid no more than it would have cost online sight unseen.

Excellent choice! I have only scratched the surface with mine but I love it. The only pedal I've ever found that makes me want to keep on playing and playing.
