When you're playing with the SOS mode and you turn the time knob how are you matching the pitch to your next chord so perfectly? Does the time knob only let you speed up the playback of the recorded loop at speeds producing musical intervals?

Beautiful. When I try the ambient pad, the loop volume keeps increasing when the repeats are on maximum. Probably something simple I missed? Thanks!
@noisetoysimportstv12484 жыл бұрын
I think it might be the secondary function boost under the mix knob, if that’s set past 12 o’clock it will add boost each time the loop progresses.
@marijnstam73744 жыл бұрын
The reason I believe this happens is because the delay starts oscillating at maximum repeats. You can hear this when you use a short delay time and have the repeats set to max, it will increase in volume and start oscillating out of control. The same thing happens with the ambient pad when you have the repeats set to maximum, it's just that the process takes longer since the delay time is so long.

You need to swap the El Cap from true bypass to buffered bypass, I forget exactly how to do that but if you grab the manual online you’ll find it, pretty sure it’s some sort of combination of things while powering up.

Personal opinion (and this is me speaking from being a Strymon customer) I would get rid of the TC and replace it with an El Cap and never look back. Horses for courses though, that’s just my preference.

Noise Toys Imports TV Thanks. Too bad the el cap doesn’t have a third switch that does what holding down both switches does. That should have been a no brainer for the Strymon engineers.

I've done a lot of searching and I can't find anything that does what the el cap does. The Zvex Instant Lo Fi Junky comes close to the el cap's wow and flutter but it's mono and the tape crinkle is not quite as good. The el cap really is special in that regard. The other one that has a really great tape sound is the Warped Vinyl, but that's mono as well - I think the same guy designed both. @@noisetoysimportstv1248
