Give your performance an extra flare of charisma, the Strymon Deco V2 Tape Saturation / Doubletracker is the newest incarnation of one of the most unique FX pedals on the market. Emulating the sound of vintage studio reel-to-reel tape decks back in the old days when studio engineers would spend hours tinkering with tape to create effects. In the modern-day, this effect is highly accessible courtesy of the Deco V2, so you can unleash your creative spark.

Think of the Strymon Deco as a 2-in-1 pedal:

The Tape Saturation side works like a Harmonic Saturator overdrive, with "volume" and "saturation" controls. At lower settings, it adds a warmer, richer tone to your guitar or synthesizer. When you crank it up, you get a delicious, more natural overdrive sound. Great with humbucker or single coil-equipped guitars, when using a valve amp!

The Doubletracker side simulates old studio techniques of running two reel-to-reel decks side by side. According to which setting you use, you can get a wide range of effects, such as rockabilly-style slap echo, chorus and vintage-style flanging, different from what you get from digital flanger pedals (think more like the sound you hear on the Small Faces' 'Itchycoo Park' single).

With a collection of new features to increase user-friendly functionality and the overall versatility of the pedal, the Deco V2 now comes with a separate Tone control that's been added to the saturation slide. Resulting in a more evenly proportioned design with 3 double tracker knobs matching the 3 saturation knobs.

Not only that, but there's now a switch to select either Classic or Cassette style saturation, Classic provides the original sounding Deco tone, whereas Cassette brings something new to the fold by applying Auto Level Control (variable compression). The result is a vintage-esque tone found on triple-head cassette decks.
