I've always fancied a Deco. Can you get straight up delay out of them, albeit with a limited delay time?
I suppose both pedals would be ideal.
BTW, I think I'm near you? I'm in Oxford. PM me if you are interested.
I've got both too, and I also only have a handful of pedals. I use the Deco mainly for flange modulation. It's max delay time is 500ms should you want to use it that way but it's not a versatile delay pedal so use will be limited.
The El Cap is absolutely brilliant - I got rid of my RE201 when I got it as that just seemed too much hassle when the El Cap sounds better in a lot of ways - doesn't look as cool though.
Get both! Main drawback if you are hoping to get use out of the Deco as a regular delay pedal is that you are limited to max of two repeats. It is brilliant for the phasey flangey stuff though - and I really like the saturation side, it can be used as a light OD with mild compression. It really needs to be tried, it is a hard pedal to describe. And you really have to have some knowledge of the two tape setup that it emulates to understand how to get the best from it.
mine too
