Reiep « My delay reference »
Published on 06/17/13 at 02:12Digital delay pedal reproducing a tape delay. Full specs have been posted below. Since mid-2012 entry is now stereo and switches are not click.
The ELCAP seems very solid, while brushed aliminium. He needs 250 mA 9V, center negative, but it seems that 200 mA is sufficient according to some tests.
The system preset with Favorite swicth is well thought out, you can enjoy more opportunities pedal. And it builds very easily for a few euros
UTILIZATION
5 knobs (double function), 2 toggle switches, two foot switches, it starts to make the world. Provided it is not pert, in the sense that the annexes settings will not be changed every 4 mornings. The main thing is before us. An indication of 2nd function on the pedal would have been useful, you need to open the manual every time. Mention spring reverb reverb can make a fortune without any worries with ultra short delay.
For the rest, the knobs are responsive, pleasant, do not make noise when turned, digital forces.
Good point, setting mix is 100% dry to 100% wet, it will be possible to use it in a parallel loop. The 50/50 is reached at about 3.
As described below, it is possible to assign an expression pedal to any knobs, I will not go over in detail.
SOUND QUALITY
This is clearly where the ELCAP makes the difference. I have owned a lot of delays lately (standard Flashback and X4, Eventide Timefactor, Strymon Timeline) and no faces in terms of tape. The Flashbacks are excellent but despite Toneprint I never found my shoe foot (or so via the PC editor), the Timefactor is mainly oriented digital delay though his tqpe is very good fashion, and I have not at all like the ergonomics of the Timeline and how tape cut against the ELCAP.
I use the serial loop of my Diezel Hagen, no worries. I have two settings: a short and discrete delay with a lot of modulation for lead (Single, B-mode) and another with a longer and more repetitions to get a clean singing (multi, B mode). The fact that the dry signal is not converted helps.
I love playing with the settings of age and Wow & Flutter giving lots of personality delay, without going overboard.
OVERALL OPINION
In the end, it's just a great delay, both rich and fairly simple to use. The only real complaint is the lack of management of the MIDI protocol, to enable / disable the pedal and change the preset (but fall into the technological frenzy kind Timeline).
