El Capistan V2: New user setup and walkthrough

Strymon's El Capistan tape delay version 2 pedal has configuration options that need to be adjusted if you're using line level instruments or MIDI. There are also secondary sound tweaking controls that can make a huge difference to the sound. Happily everything is either set-and-forget or very straightforward.
This is part one of a two-part tutorial. Part 2 will explore the looper and more advanced MIDI functionality.
