The El Cap has some reverb as a secondary function, but I don't think it's much. Just go Flint + Dig! ;)

Has anyone had problems with Strymon. My timeline is driving me nutty. Sometimes can't scroll up or down. Changes settings. Hopefully it's just a dud switch.

You've not played a Flint then. Or an El Cap.

I had some strange issues with an El Cap. I found a loose ground wire inside and after tightening it up all was well again.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Strymon didn't want to know? Doesn't sound like them...

Had a local look at it? Or are you firesaling it?

Nope, zero issues. I have the OB1, Timeline and BigSky (also a Flint previously). All owned for 2+ years now with no problems. Very inspirational and well built units. Recommended to all, A+++.

Zero issues as well.
Love them, especially the El Cap.

Had at least 5 Timelines, 3 Flints, couple of BigSkys and a BlueSky. Zero issues anywhere apart from the fact I never bothered spending any time fiddling (which meant the Flint was the most useful for me as you just twist and go). Now I'm dual H9s so no need for Strymon on the real estate, but not due to quality of sound by any means.
