Strymon pedals
Have had an el capistan since December and it's glorious. So organic sounding. You can dial in a decent amount of delay and it never seems to intrude or overpower the playing. Anyone have any comments about there other pedals.

Do you stack your lex with other pedals?

I have El Capistan. Love it. Very nice quality and some fun features. Also wish to try Flint, but not now. One thing, that I do not like is powering of them. El Cap reqires 250mA (as any other DSP strymon, except TimeLine), when Boss RE-20 requires 75mA.

I have a El Cap and a Flint. Yep - my PedalPower ISO-5 is gone. I've ended up plugging the warts into a mini power strip on my Pedaltrain mini that fits in the top groove perfectly. So, it's not so pretty but at $11, I'm not complaining too much.

Per the OP.....

On the Flint....if you think the El Cap is "glorious"....you can expect the same thing from the Flint. It's the first pedal trem that I think gets in the ballpark of a real bias driven amp trem. I've been using the harmonic trem mostly...very tasty with the depth turned down lower. I use amp reverb so the spring reverb isn't so interesting (it does nail it). I am enjoying messing with ambient stuff by cranking up the decay on the 80's reverb. What's cool is that unlike Line 6 M9 effects that did a similar thing, the Flint is actually musically usable instead of gimmicky.

I was disappointed that my Pedal Power 2+ wouldn't power my El Capistan. Love the pedal though, WoW!!

Voodoo ISO-5 will power one Strymon. The Voodoo Digital can power 4 at the same time.

The other supplies possible is the CIOK 8 or 10.

The problem I had is that there's just no room on my PT mini for a supply anymore. (see pic).

I wonder, if 1-spot with daisy chain would be enough for two strymons? It has about 1,7A.

Hmmmmmm.....kinda mixed responses. One guy said it worked...another said it blew up all his pedals when the 1-spot failed.

I don't know.

I have El Capistan and power it along with 10 other pedals using the GigRig Generator. It is rated at 5000 milliamps and works like a charm. I love the Cap and am thinking of adding the Flint by Christmas. Just need to watch the demo videos about 2,000 more times...

Is this what the GigRig TimeLord is meant to be for...? (about halfway down the page...) I have been asking around the forum what this TimeLord gadget is for and haven't been able to get an answer...

I don't have any of the strymon pedals( would love to have a timeline!) but I can't understand why people think you can't power them with a pp2+. Maybe I am just not understanding something. The timeline needs 250mA of current, and you can get that with the pp2+. Yes, it might take two outputs to power it with a current doubling cable but it still works.

Yup, I easily power the El Cap and BSR along with 4 analog pedals on a single 1 Spot.
