Strymon Announces Two New Delay Plugins
The sound and behavior of two iconic Strymon pedals are now available inside your DAW
Westlake Village, CA, September 3, 2024 - Strymon Engineering (www.strymon.net), the respected manufacturer of premium products for the guitar, plugin and Eurorack markets, announced the release of two new delay plugins today. The plugins are direct ports of two iconic Strymon pedals, so fans of El Capistan’s vintage tape echoes and DIG’s transcendent rack delays can now use them directly inside their DAW sessions. Both plugins accurately recreate the sound and vibe of the original hardware, giving modern recordists easy access to hyper-authentic tape and rack delay-based effects. Released in AAX, AU and VST formats, the new El Capistan and DIG plugins are available now.
“It’s been fun to see these plugins come to life”, said Gregg Stock, Strymon’s CEO. “Obviously, you know that they’re going to sound great because we’re directly porting from hardware that already sounds great, but the UI and the presentation of the features in a DAW environment are key to having a great user experience, so we’ve definitely spent a bunch of time making sure that they’re easy to use and understand.” Strymon co-founder and chief firmware maven Dave Fruehling agreed, saying “a plugin environment gives us some additional flexibility when it comes to the user interface, so we were able to be even more visually descriptive. El Capistan’s tape heads change to show you the transport that you’re currently using, and DIG’s subdivisions are super easy to understand and manipulate. It’s a win-win for everyone, and I’ve been loving having a bunch of them up in a session at the same time.”
Both the DIG and El Capistan plugins are available now directly from Strymon and from dealers worldwide as a bundle for $99 US, or $79 US each.
