Strymon El Capistan vs. Real Tape Delays: Roland RE-501 Chorus Echo | The low quality recording features an electric guitar melody playing. The melody fades out in the beginning and it starts playing again in the second part of the loop, where it has an echoing effect on. It gives off psychedelic vibes. The recording is noisy and in mono. | 2010-11-12T16:54:12Z | DemolitionColorScheme | This is the first clip / video in the 'Strymon El Capistan vs. Real Tape Delays' series. I don't own an El Capistan myself, but a guy I know, Wouter (WtrPlyr), and I got together to set up this concept and compare some of the tape delays I have to the El Capistan, which is a tape delay modeler/emulator (a very nice one and the best out there, in stompbox format, that is). We used the DigiTech JamMan Stereo and recorded a dry loop every time and routed that through the El Capistan and the RE-501 - both of them were in a true bypass looper (RJM Music Effects Gizmo). You be the own judge of which one you prefer. I, personally, prefer the RE-501, which is one of my favorite tape delays. I prefer its natural modulation (I don't mean the Chorus, to be clear) and its reverbish character. I find the El Capistan to be a little muffled and dark, in comparison. But hey, that's my taste. I still really enjoy it and I might pick one up in the future.

HardWire: RV-7 Stereo Reverb (with CM-2) in Stereo | The low quality recording features a person trying out the guitar effect pedal while playing some melodies on an electric guitar. There are huge reverb effects in the first part of the loop and reverse effects in the second part. It sounds a bit noisy too. | 2009-11-22T05:44:27Z | Brett Kingman | http://www.digitech.com This has the Lexicon name on its faceplate. Ring any bells? It should. Lexicon have been on serious studio spec sheets for a long time and it's great to see their algorithms incorporated into these pedals. No wonder the RV-7 has that 'thing'.
