New - Strymon Deco Tape Saturation and Doubletracker Pedal

Strymon Deco Tape Saturation and Doubletracker Pedal - NEW

Our journey begins with the early recording studios of the ’50s and ’60s. The introduction of reel-to-reel tape machines and the creative engineers that used them brought on some of the fattest sounds imaginable. These early machines really were the first effect pedals—they just wouldn’t have fit on your pedalboard!
From the inherent warmth and luscious tape saturation—to the forgotten art of how these machines were manipulated—they are capable of creating a huge range of beautiful, distinctive, and enveloping sounds.
Deco brings this original inspiration back, giving you these vintage tape effects from the earliest recording studios, right on your pedalboard.
Deco’s Tape Saturation smooths out your sound with familiar and delicious tape compression and saturation, while fattening it with subtle tape-driven transparent overdrive. The Doubletracker provides the power to shift your sound in many ways, easily allowing you to achieve syrupy slapback tape echoes, psychedelic tape flanging, and gorgeous tape chorusing sounds.

Auto-flangePress and hold the Doubletracker Bypass footswitch to achieve a recording studio-inspired through-zero flange effect.
Wide stereo modeWide Stereo Mode sends the mono input (summed if using a stereo input) to the Left channel through the ‘Reference Deck’, and to the right channel via the delayed ‘Lag Deck’ to create an adjustable stereo spread.
Expresion pedal controlInput allows for the connection of either an expression pedal, external tap, or Favorite switch for expanded control over your Deco.
Individual bypassSeparate bypass footswitches allow you to bypass the Tape Saturation and Doubletracker individually, giving you two individual effects in one pedal.
