Re: strymon el capistan delay pedal-(sound on sound loop mode like atape loop)



Wow Scott, that's an insanely cool looper! Like having the Augustus
Loop plugin inside a box. I would buy this looper if laptops would not
be available. These kind of "warble/wobble/flutter" processings are my
fav and I always keep "tape speed tilt" on a foot pedal.
