Strymon DECO Tape Saturation and
Doubletracker Pedal
Strymon's journey in creating their Deco
Pedal began with in recording studios of the
'50s and '60s, and the introduction of reel-toreel tape machines and the creative engineers
that operated them brought out some of the
fattest sounds imaginable. These early
machines really were the first effect pedals–
they just wouldn't have fit on a modern-days
guitarists' pedalboard, until now.
From the inherent warmth of analog and
vintage tape saturation – to the forgotten art of
how these machines were manipulated – tape
machines were capable of creating a huge
range of beautiful, distinctive, and enveloping
sounds.
Deco brings this original inspiration back,
giving users vintage tape effects from the earliest recording studios, straight to the pedalboard.
