Tape Saturation & Doubletracker Pedal
Strymon - Deco V2

Strymon Deco V2

Mid-Century MaverickAdd warm dimensionality and luscious tape saturation to your signal with the Strymon Deco V2. Teleport historic tones to your board and effortlessly create a huge range of beautiful, distinctive, and enveloping vintage sounds. From the inherent warmth and luscious tape saturation to the forgotten art of how these machines were used, Deco brings this original inspiration back, giving you these vintage tape effects from the earliest recording studios, right to your pedalboard.

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.

Amazing Features • High impedance ultra low-noise discrete Class A JFET TRS stereo input
• Expression pedal input allows the connection of a TRS expression pedal, MiniSwitch, MultiSwitch Plus, or TRS MIDI connection
• Ultra low noise, high performance 24-bit 96kHz A/D and D/A converters provide uncompromising audio quality
• USB jack for controlling via MIDI from a computer or for performing firmware updates
• Low impedance independent TS stereo outputs

Sound Design

Strymon Deco V2

Tape SaturationAdd smooth and warm qualities of analogue tape, to your sound along with the enhanced touch sensitivity and playing dynamics that are intrinsic to the inner workings of tape machines. Achieve incredible transparency at low levels, with reduced high frequency spikes and a harmonically rich low end. Turn up the Saturation to increase the amount of tape drive, dynamic compression and distortion. Deco is perfectly suited for a last-in-chain, “always on” sweetening effect. Everything sounds better on tape. If you want to push the limits of tape beyond what was originally possible - Use Deco as a tape-style transparent overdrive—crank the Saturation all the way up to “peg the meters” and gently overload the machine’s input.

Strymon Deco V2

Tape Saturation ControlsDeco’s Tape Saturation side features controls for dialing in everything from light, transparent saturation all the way to smooth, overdriven tape distortion. The Saturation knob allows for a wide range of tones that range from subtle saturation and compression at lower levels, to transparent tape overdrive at its upper limits. An adjustable Volume control for Deco’s Tape Saturation lets you raise the output volume when using Deco as a boost, or dial it back to achieve unity gain. The new generation of Deco features a dedicated Tone knob that lets you adjust the tone of your Tape Saturation, from darker to brighter. This pedal also introduces a Voice switch for an expanded range of available sounds. The Voice switch has two settings: classic: produces the response and saturation characteristics of 2-track mastering reel to reel tape machines. cassette: employs an auto level control (ALC) process common to many high-end cassette tape recorders, resulting in a musically compressed, fat tone and a great-feeling response.

Strymon Deco V2

DoubletrackerGo back to the early days of recording studios, where a few creative audio engineers discovered a new world of augmented sound by pushing the limits of studio tape machines. By inventing automatic doubletracking, they introduced echo, flanging, and chorus to the world of recorded music. Intensify and widen your sound with Deco’s Doubletracker controls. Turn the Lag Time to obtain classic slapback tape echo, spacious doubletrack chorusing, and mind-bending tape flanging. Add random modulation with the Wobble control and go from very subtle movement to more extreme undulations—just like having a recording engineer vary the speed of the machine. Add warm dimensionality and luscious tape saturation to your signal. Teleport the tones of yesteryear to your board. Deco is a jack of all trades capable of creating a huge range of beautiful, distinctive, and enveloping vintage sounds.

Strymon Deco V2

Doubletracker ControlsIn addition to Lag Time, Deco’s Doubletracker features additional controls to help you achieve a wide range of tape based effects. The Blend control sets the mix level between Deco’s Lag Deck and Reference Deck, and can be lowered to hear more of the Reference Deck for less doubletracking, or raised if you want to hear more of the doubletracking effect. Deco’s Wobble knob adds random tape speed based modulations to the Lag Deck. Go from very subtle movement to more extreme undulations — just like having a recording engineer vary the speed of the machine. Wobble is very useful when increasing the depth of the modulation effect you hear when Lag Time is set to act as a tape flanger/chorus, or use it to add modulation to the Lag Deck when set as a slapback or tape echo.

Strymon Deco V2

Blend TypeAdjusts phase and internal routing to customize tone and low-end response: sum: decks are in phase invert: Lag Deck is phase inverted bounce: right Lag Deck is bounced to left input for stereo ping-pong or mono double-echo.

Strymon Deco V2

Lag TimeJust by turning Deco’s Lag Time knob, you can unlock a whole variety of organic, tape based modulation and delay effects. When adjusting the delay offset between Deco’s reference deck and the Lag Deck with the Lag Time knob, you can achieve everything from tape flanging at lower settings (-.3 to 3ms), increase that a bit for lush tape chorusing (3 to 50ms), followed by snappy slapback delay at longer delay times (50 to 150ms), all the way to spaced out tape echoes (150 to 500ms).

Strymon Deco V2

Wide StereoDeco gives you the option for extremely wide stereo imaging to broaden and intensify the sound of your stereo rig. Wide Stereo Mode sends the mono input (summed if using a stereo input) to the Left channel through the Reference Deck, and to the right channel via the delayed Lag Deck to create an adjustable stereo spread. The Blend control functions like a pan control by adjusting the relative levels of the two tape decks.

Strymon Deco V2

Auto-FlangePress and hold the Doubletracker On footswitch to achieve a recording studio-inspired through-zero flange effect. This engages a “virtual audio engineer” manning the faders and tape reels to create a smooth and predictable through-zero flange experience on the fly. After releasing the footswitch, the controls are smoothly returned to their previous settings.

Strymon Deco V2

MIDIThe Deco V2 features full MIDI implementation, allowing you to control just about every switch, knob, and setting remotely by sending MIDI commands from your controller or DAW via Deco EXP/MIDI jack or USB-C connection. Lag Time can be synchronized via MIDI Clock Sync, and the sync setting can be saved for each preset. 300 MIDI preset locations are available for loading and saving your favourite settings. Remotely bypass or engage the pedal, sync Lag Time changes along with your tracks, automate knob adjustments, recall unique presets for each song on your setlist — the possibilities with MIDI are limitless.

Strymon Deco V2

True/Buffered BypassDeco lets you choose electromechanical relay switched true bypass for a 100% untouched, unprocessed signal when the pedal is bypassed (this is the default setting), or you can opt for our premium quality buffered bypass that conditions your signal to preserve its integrity by preventing the high end roll-off that can happen due to longer cable runs.

Strymon Deco V2

JFET InputUncompromised dynamics and feel. Exceptional touch sensitivity and responsiveness. Deco feels just as good as it sounds, thanks to a high impedance ultra-low noise discrete Class A JFET preamp input.

Strymon Deco V2

StereoNo compromises needed when it comes to signal routing or pedal placement — Deco features full stereo in/out capabilities. A single TRS input jack allows Deco to keep its compact form factor while giving you the option to use a stereo input signal. A dedicated rear panel Input switch allows you to easily set Deco for operation with a stereo (TRS) or mono (standard TS) input source. Low impedance dual TS output jacks let you use Deco as a stereo effect.

Strymon Deco V2

Studio ModePedals aren’t just for guitarists. Deco’s Studio Mode makes it a versatile tool for endless applications from the studio to the stage. By setting Deco to Studio Mode, you get 10dB of added headroom, allowing you to use Deco with bass guitars with active pickups, synthesizers, keyboards, effects loops, and more.

Strymon Deco V2

ARM ProcessorSignificant developments in mobile phones and computers have led to an evolution in technology that now allows these pedals to perform more simultaneous processes with less power draw than ever before. That means more processing power for every sonic nuance with less power consumption on your pedal board.
