These early machines really were the first effect pedals—they just wouldn’t have fit on your pedalboard!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDeco brings this original inspiration back, giving you these vintage tape effects from the earliest recording studios, right on your pedalboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDeco’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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGive your sound the smooth and warm qualities of analog tape, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDeco is perfectly suited for a last-in-chain, “always on” sweetening effect. Everything sounds better on tape. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntensify 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note from 1st August 2025 all Strymon effects pedals will no longer include a power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strymon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42022166429774,"sku":"DDJ4931","price":339.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/4195\/6430\/files\/strymon-deco-pedal-v2-top.jpg?v=1759143653","url":"https:\/\/www.thediscdjstore.com\/products\/strymon-deco-v2","provider":"The Disc DJ Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
