Presenting the Next Generation Strymon Deco V2 Tape Saturation and Doubletracker Pedal.
Tape: The First Effect
From the inherent warmth and luscious tape saturation to the forgotten art of how these machines were manipulated, the Deco brings this original inspiration back, giving you these vintage tape effects from the earliest recording studios, right on 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.
Strymon's second generation Deco pedal gives you the same gorgeous reel-to-reel tape sounds from our original, while adding several significant new features, incorporating technological advancements, hardware improvements and design enhancements to give you additional flexibility, power, and ease of use on stage and in the studio.
MIDI
New Full MIDI implementation means you can control just about every switch, knob, and setting remotely by sending MIDI commands from your controller or DAW via Deco’s EXP/MIDI jack or USB-C connection. Lag Deck delay 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 favorite settings.
New Tonal Options
Strymon has added new controls for even more sonic flexibility. The DecoV2 now comes with an all-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.
Hardware Improvements
A premium analog 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.
Moving In Stereo.
No need to make compromises when it comes to signal routing or pedal placement — This Next Generation Deco V2 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.
Studio Mode
Pedals aren’t just for guitarists anymore. 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.
Significant developments in mobile phones and computers have led to an evolution in technology that now allows Strymon's 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.
