Strymon Deco - Tape Saturation & Doubletracker Effects Pedal

Mid-Century Maverick. The 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.
