Strymon Deco V2 Tape Saturation & Doubletracker - Next Generation

Strymon Deco V2ÿNext Gen: Vintage Warmth Meets Modern Features

Tape: The First Effect

Add warm dimensionality and luscious tape saturation to your signal with the Strymon Deco V2 Tape Saturation & Doubletracker. This pedal effortlessly brings the tones of yesteryear to your board, allowing you to create a wide range of beautiful, distinctive, and enveloping vintage sounds. Inspired by the early recording studios of the 50s and 60s, Deco V2 brings the vintage tape effects from the earliest reel-to-reel tape machines right to your pedalboard.

Mid-Century Maverick

From the inherent warmth and luscious tape saturation to the forgotten art of how these machines were manipulated, Deco V2 revives this original inspiration. Deco's Tape Saturation smooths out your sound with familiar and delicious tape compression and saturation, while fattening your tone with subtle tape-driven transparent overdrive. The Doubletracker provides the power to shift your sound in many ways, allowing you to achieve syrupy slapback tape echoes, psychedelic tape flanging, and gorgeous tape chorus sounds.
