From the inherent warmth and luscious tape saturation to the forgotten art of how these machines were manipulated, the Strymon Deco V2 brings this original inspiration back to the future, giving you these vintage tape effects from the earliest recording studios, in a way that would not have been imaginable when they were first introduced. 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, easily allowing you to achieve syrupy slapback tape echoes, psychedelic tape flanging, and gorgeous tape chorusing sounds.
The Deco V2 has a number of improvements over its predecessor, not least of all the new cassette tape voicing that employs an auto level control (ALC) process common to many high-end cassette tape recorders, resulting in a compressed, fat tone. In addition, a new dedicated Tone knob lets you adjust the tone of the Tape Saturation exactly to your liking, from dark to bright. A premium analogue JFET input circuit ensures superb responsiveness to your playing, and you can select mono or stereo input with the flick of a rear panel switch. All this, plus a new ARM DSP chip provides more processing power for every sonic nuance, with less energy consumption on your pedalboard.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Strymon Deco V2 Tape Saturation & Doubletracker Pedal combines intense research and design with technological wizardry to bring you incredible realistic tape tones, with no menu diving. Whether you want to imbue your tone with the smooth warmth of analogue tape via tape saturation, or follow in the footsteps of early sound engineers, with doubletrack chorusing, slapback tape echo and warbling tape flange, the Strymon Deco V2 will be your new pedalboard-friendly best friend.
