Strymon Deco Tape Echo

Description

STRYMON DECO TAPE ECHO

The Strymon Deco brings back the original inspiration and creativity of magnetic tape machines used in recording studios in the early 1950s and 60s, giving you the ability to directly incorporate these now hard-to-find vintage effects into your pedalboard.

The DECO consists of two effect sections that can be activated and edited separately, Tape Saturation and Doubletracker; the controls of the Tape Saturation section will bring natural compression and musical saturation to your sound, while the transparent overdrive will make it fatter and richer in frequency. The Doubletracker section controls, on the other hand, will give you the ability to move the sound in many ways, easily allowing you to achieve slapback echoes, psychedelic flangers, and beautiful chorus sounds.

The Strymon Deco is available in Rome and online.
