Big_Ryan Joined: May 01, 2011 Posts: 578 San Diego	Posted on Apr 27 2016 11:18 PM No, I ran into a Princeton reverb ri, I had some kind of dirt pedal in front of it, a dod 250 or a klone, I can't remember right now. — http://dinosaurghost.bandcamp.com/ http://sixtycyclehum.podbean.com Top

Merlin Joined: Feb 03, 2011 Posts: 111 Brampton, ON	Posted on Apr 28 2016 03:15 PM Thanks for the demo. Nice sounds, but not drippy enough for me. I liked that plate verb though. Top
Big_Ryan Joined: May 01, 2011 Posts: 578 San Diego	Posted on Apr 28 2016 07:47 PM Yeah, theres a little bit of a drip but you have to have it set up just right, If it wasn't for that issue id own one for sure.

Samurai Joined: Mar 14, 2006 Posts: 2283 Kiev, Ukraine	Posted on Oct 16 2017 11:25 AM after watching this demo I just... got it! the hell of a pedal! reverb side is nice, drippy enough as for me in 60s and I love 70s plate for some stuff tremolo side - never came across such a beautiful tremolo effects! nice thing is that they made it highly usable, sounds nice just in any knob positions, love it — Waikiki Makaki surf-rock band from Ukraine https://linktr.ee/waikikimakaki Lost Diver https://lostdiver.bandcamp.com https://soundcloud.com/vitaly-yakushin Top

IMO, the reverb sounds like a really good Fender Blackface in amp reverb...maybe better especially with the additional plate settings, ect. The trem is off the hook good and all in one convenient package. If you have an amp that doesn't have built in reverb and trem or an amp that has crappy verb/trem you can't go wrong. If you are looking for hardcore drippy surf reverb a good outboard tank is the way to go, especially if you primarily do surf but Strymon can get in the ballpark for a couple numbers. Regarding the El Capistan, it's a really primo all around delay pedal that can pretty much do any kind of delay including vintage tube/tape delay but for just pure vintage Echoplex tones I like my Catalinbread Belle Epoche which really nails the vintage echoplex tone, including the mild overdrive properties the originals had. All great stuff no matter how you look at it. Last edited: Oct 16, 2017 20:34:12 Top
DannySnyder Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 11070 Berkeley, CA	Posted on Oct 16 2017 10:18 PM I use my strymon flint reverb in combination with my tank. I use my tank for moderate reverb full time, and the parts that need extra drip I use the Flint set almost full on color and mix and very little decay. I promise you nobody will know that it's not a reverb tank giving the drip. — Danny Snyder "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo I am now playing trumpet with Prince Buster tribute band 'Balzac' Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Top

jdmcduders Joined: Jan 14, 2013 Posts: 140 Indianapolis, IN	Posted on Oct 17 2017 06:18 AM I've been using this one for a couple years and I don't see myself building a pedal board without one in the future. I prefer the tremolo on the Flint because of the tap temp function. I highly recommend getting the tap pedal add on. Top

stratdancer Joined: Dec 11, 2013 Posts: 2537 Akron, Ohio	Posted on Oct 18 2017 06:58 PM Strymon is a top notch company and when my El Cap was blasted with 115V they rebuilt the entire thing for 80 dollars plus shipping. Any other pedal would have been thrown away. I have the surfy trem but not opposed to owning this in the future. — The Kahuna Kings https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Kahuna-Kings/459752090818447 https://thekahunakings.bandcamp.com/releases Top
Chippertheripper Joined: Mar 11, 2011 Posts: 819 Semass	Posted on Oct 19 2017 10:40 AM I’m kind of gassing for this. I already have 2 reverb units and 4 trem pedals, but I still want it. Top
Ariel Joined: Aug 29, 2009 Posts: 1556 Israel	Posted on Oct 19 2017 10:59 AM Masterful demo, Ryan, as usual! No one else is even looking for a drip to start with... Seems by sound alone they indeed intended to replicate an amp's reverb, as opposed to the '63 unit. Great range of sounds though. Chippertheripper wrote: I’m kind of gassing for this. I already have 2 reverb units and 4 trem pedals, but I still want it. If it's gonna replace the ones you use for live performance, seems like a nice sounding all-in-one light solution. I'd still go with a Surfy Bear + Surfy Trem combo, just cuz... Last edited: Oct 19, 2017 11:14:42 Top
