People have been asking me to post music clips for months and months. I finally do and you want to be critical?

It plays on college radio in Canada. It's pretty good exposure.

[jimtaka]

I wasn't being critical. I said it was smooth. :confused:

And I said the clip sounded good!

I have no hidden agenda other than I am thrilled with how the El Capistan helped shape the guitar and vocal sound of this song.

Whenever Strymon has their replacement for the Timeline ready I am going to use one for the next recording. I'm really looking forward to having that kind of sound in a smaller unit.

[jimtaka]

No need to be defensive. I seriously wasn't being critical. I thought my comments were positive! I assure you that they were intended to be. My apologies if they came across otherwise.

[jenkka]

I liked the song ;)

Cool stuff.

[Grizz_Lee]

sounds awesome echo! i'm definitely ordering one out of thier next batch. maybe the favorite switch as well.

anyway, the song sounds awesome!

[Guitarplayerdan]

cool song cool tones. Impressed. Im not a fan of most the demos i hear around here. Well I will say a lot of them are good. But just not my style. But this is cool.

The El Capistan is versatile and works really well through a mixing console if you want to add tape echo effects to vocals which is something a lot of big name producers I learned from do all the time.

Digging it.

Waiting to hear back from Strymon as to whether or not I can get an external tap tempo jack on this thing. I could easily see it replacing my memory lane.

echo unit, that sounded great.

Let us know, I'd be interested in that mod as well...

There are about 11 or 12 layers of treatments on this added to the tracks at the mixing console.
