Features and functionality
-
The Strymon Tap/Favorite switch can only function as either a tap or a favorite, not both simultaneously, due to the pedal's design limitations.
Source -
TimeLine presets can individually use GLOBAL or PRESET tap tempo, allowing different tempo settings for each preset without affecting others.
Source -
When switching presets, the TimeLine recalls the saved tempo, ensuring consistent delay settings for each song section.
Source -
The PRESET tap tempo option ensures that switching between presets does not alter the tempo unless specifically tapped again.
Source -
The Walrus Monument V2's EXP/TAP output can be internally switched to send tap tempo to other pedals, though compatibility with the Strymon El Capistan's closed tap circuit may require additional modification.
Source
Mods and upgrades
-
Saturnworks and Analog Endeavors offer custom solutions for combining tap tempo and favorite capabilities across multiple pedals, often at no extra cost compared to standard products.
Source -
Custom pedal builders like Bright Onion Pedals in the UK/EU and local techs can create dual-function switches that control both a Strymon and a Boss DD7 pedal.
Source -
Users recommend checking the internal switch on the Walrus Monument V2 to ensure it is set to TAP instead of EXP to utilize its tap tempo capabilities effectively.
Source
Comparisons
-
Analog Endeavors offers tap/favorite switches designed for use with two different pedals, like the Strymon Flint and a Blue Sky, but not for dual functionality on a single Strymon pedal.

“I’ve found Strymon pedals to be well made and versatile. I like digital delay and you can change the dotted eighth notes and diff erent subdivisions that are really useful live. There’s a lot of reverb through the twins and here so I like to have a really clean delay onstage. You can use a little Strymon auxiliary switch [above left] with it - a favourite switch.”
