nedorama Joined: Oct 10, 2009 Posts: 219 South Bay, CA	Posted on Mar 09 2013 10:44 AM Had a chance to borrow a co-worker's El Cap last weekend and try it with my Bandmaster and pedalboard, including a TC Flashback. The Strymon is deep. Each knob's 2nd feature is great, like being able to hit the preamp with more or less gain. Lush is the word I keep coming back to. If you have an expression pedal, hooking it up to control any parameter is great - if you don't have one, this would be an excuse to get one! If I didn't already have the Flashback and not use just tape delay, this would be the pedal to get. As a disclaimer, I played once through an echoplex back in '82, so I don't really have a reference point for comparison... — '65 Fender Tremolux, '74 Princeton; 77 Vibrolux Reverb; '81 Princeton Reverb '65-66 Hilgen Basso Grande Dr. Z MAZ 18 Jr. + 1x12 Cab Various Telecasters and noise-making pedals Farfisa Compact Duo Top

Personally, I pretty much always use the same setting, except I roll the Mix from 10:00 to 1:00 depending on how much reverb I'm using from the tank- but I'm thinking of using my Favorite to toggle the pedal's reverb on and off, so that I have a Hank setting with minimal reverb and higher echo, and one with no reverb and lower echo to play with the tank. — Mike http://www.youtube.com/morphballio Top

I hope you guys are using the reverb in this pedal I haven't dinkered with the reverb yet since I always have my reverb unit in place, but I certainly use your rockabilly settings, Tavo. And nowhereman's Echoplex setting as well. Inspired by Morphball in the first place, and really helped by this thread! Rick — Rick Top

I really wish that could be done, but the preset function seems to always save and apply all of the other settings once engaged. (It would really kick ass if I was wrong though.) Probably the closest you will come to that is to make a setting with nothing except for reverb. — Mike http://www.youtube.com/morphballio Top
