A first for Strymon to create a limited run of some of their favourite pedals they’ve released over the years, each finished in a sleek black and white finish as dark as the midnight sky, complete with black knobs and a blacked-out box. Despite their minimalist styling, the sounds waiting to be released from these limited edition pedals are as colourful and inspiring as ever.
Deco brings this original inspiration back, giving you these vintage tape effects from the earliest recording studios, right 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’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.
